THE SPRINGDALE NEWS, Thursday, Jan. 21, 1988 (I was in my former stomping grounds of Arkansas and was in Fayetteville. On Jan. 20 I went to a Razorback basketball game and I wore the pig mask that I latched onto while I was in Fayetteville. I combined a Hog Hat that I borrowed from Nate Allen and while I was wearing those 2 items someone photographed me and I wound up being a Hog Helper.)

- Duderstadt: Athletics, universities conflicting Values of big-time sports, former U-M president says, differ from academic mission

In this article, Dr. Duderstadt says:
> The policy, which requires minimum donations for the right to purchase some
> season tickets, was criticized by Duderstadt as "extortion" and "insanity."
I AGREE WITH DR. DUDERSTADT.

"The Wolverine Foundation - Wolverine: Devil of the North? Video". I followed their directions for ordering the video and yesterday I received the video. I watched it today for the first time and at the start of the video they show the Michigan football team in action and they also show the interviews of the fans (one was the one they did with me). So, if you want your copy, check out the homepage.
The film crew was here in Ann Arbor during the 2000 football season. The show got aired in 2001.


A video clip of the Michigan part on the video tape "Wolverine Devil of the North" (Some Michigan fans, one of which was me while I was wearing my Wolverine Hat, got interviewed about what is a Wolverine.)

I also noticed that they printed Northwestern football tickets.
Below is the graduation ticket for 2009:
Here is my ticket.
