Congratulations to the 2023-2024 NCAA National Champions, The Michigan Wolverines. As a life long Michigan fan and someone who was only 7 the last time they won the Natty, I needed to share my thoughts and love for this team 144.

It was a hell of a night in Houston as the Michigan Wolverines took on the Huskies from Washington. I cannot think of a college team in history that has been under this much pressure to win a national title. The team stuck together through all of the adversary and came out on top. The National Title is coming back to Ann Arbor and I, along with so many others have a massive smile on my face this morning.

PERSONAL CONNECTION:

I will get to some of the highlights from the game but first, let me give you a little background as to why this game and victory means so much to me. I lost my dad when I was 17 years old, I am now 33. Ever since I can remember, my dad dressed me in Maze and Blue and preached the ways of the Wolverines. I knew what it meant to be a “Michigan Man” at an early age, still something I strive for today.

I wasn’t lucky enough to play baseball or even go to school at Michigan, but that has never stopped me from supporting the Maze and Blue. Saturday’s were like a dream to me growing up, wake up to the fresh smell of game day foods being prepared. My dad would already have his paper in hand, checking the lineup and matchups for the game. When noon came around I knew what the drill was, he got in his spot and I got in mine. We were ready. Now, if Michigan lost, you knew not to speak to my father until Sunday morning. It was understood, that was the process right up until the day we lost him.

So for people who say, why are you a fan of Michigan? You didn’t even go there? I bet I have made more Michigan memories and connections than some who went to the school. I love this school, I love this team and I will forever be a Michigan Wolverine.

Oh yeah, my mother and sister both work for the University. So suck it haters! Now, let’s get to the game and celebrate the National Champions of College Football!

GAME RECAP AND HIGHLIGHTS:

What a game it was. I may be running on 2 hours of sleep Tuesday morning but that doesn’t matter! Michigan is the National Champions of the College Football world baby! Here are some of my favorite moments from the game.

Edwards could not be stopped!

This was the the final dagger, and who else but Corum. I will say right now, Corum is the greatest running back in Michigan history:

And finally, one of the greatest moments in my life! Harbaugh getting the trophy.

FINAL THOUGHTS:

Like I said on Twitter/X yesterday. There are three great moments in my life, in this order!

  1. The Birth of my son
  2. MICHIGAN WINNING THE NATTY
  3. Marrrying my Wife Heidi

Don’t worry, she knows it and she is alright with it. Until the day I die, Go Blue!!!

Ryan is tired but happy has heck this morning!

The Michigan Wolverines win the title and Ryan tells you what it means to him

Michigan Wolverines Win the 2024 National Championship

Hey It’s Ryan, let me start off by saying…YES, I was born and raised in Wixom, Michigan although a lot of listeners like to joke that I am from Arizona. WCSX has always been my radio home, I have been at the station since I was a 23-year-old intern, co-host of Big Jim’s House, married with kids. Family and radio are what I love, but don’t get me started on golf! Like some, I have become obsessed with golf and you can hear all about that on “The Ball Washer Pod” right here on WCSX. One of my other passions is helping out the Vets. Since coming to WCSX I have been apart of raising hundreds of thousands for local vet groups. Other than that, I am a goofy guy, loving life, my family and talking to you on the radio. Ryan writes about golf, family and what happens on “Big Jim’s House.”
