Blue Reign! chronicles the Michigan Wolverines’ dominant run to their first national championship in 26 years and the 12th in their storied history. This commemorative book showcases stunning action photography, memorable stories and in-depth analysis from the Detroit Free Press and its award-winning writers, including Mitch Albom, Shawn Windsor, Rainer Sabin and Tony Garcia.
In a season defined by the mantra "Michigan vs. Everybody," Jim Harbaugh's squad proved they were capable of conquering any obstacle in their path.
As the Wolverines vanquished opponents by three, four, five or more touchdowns, Michigan captured its 1,000th victory in 144 years of playing football. That was but one highlight in a campaign filled with memorable plays and players, from J.J. McCarthy, Blake Corum and Roman Wilson on offense to Mike Sainristil, Junior Colson and Mason Graham on defense.
The perfect souvenir for any Michigan fan, Blue Reign! also features the shutout in East Lansing, an assistant coach’s lovingly profane, on-the-field interview at Happy Valley, a third straight victory over the Buckeyes and the overtime thriller against Alabama.
