Fomer Michigan players are banding together to support the current team
Michigan coach Brady Hoke might be under fire, but former players haven’t given up on the team — at least not the players.
Former Michigan Heisman Trophy winner Desmond Howard tweeted Thursday that several former players will be at Saturday’s game against Penn State to show their support for the Wolverine brethren.
Former @umichfootball players are planning a weekend of support for the current players starting tomorrow by going to practice.

Former @umichfootball players told me that the "current players need to know we are here for them even if nobody else is."

Former @umichfootball players will speak to current players tomorrow and form a "welcome line" at the Big House when the players arrive Sat.

It’s good to see former Michigan players reaching out during what have truly become the dark days of Michigan football. Not sure it’s going to pull this team out of its tailspin, but as the countdown to Hoke’s final day continues, the players need all the support they can get.
