So there is a site where folks submit message board posts and then a bunch of folks living their perfect lives behind their computers have fun with said post. One of the posts from here was submitted and made it to the site. It's supposedly all in good fun and a bit of a badge of honor to make it. That said in this case I know the individual that posted the message and I wanted to share a few things about the man behind the screen name.
Maizenblue_follower is a disabled veteran. He served our country honorably and is very decorated from his time served. His disability impacts all aspects of his life. He gets by running a small coffee business in little tourist town in the heart of America. Every day he struggles to make his hot air roasted coffee which by the way is phenomenal.
He's a diehard Michigan fan and when NIL first happened he reached out to me and was willing to give what little he had at the time all to NIL to move Michigan forward. He was also willing to give a large chunk of investment monies he had coming to him to NIL when it matured. He was and still is all in for Michigan.
During this time he wrote one of the most passionate letters I have ever read to the Harbaugh family. I worked with a friend that I knew would be with Jim to get it to them. As Jim and Sarah were being driven to the airport by our mutual friend Jim was handed this letter and read it out loud. I was on the speaker phone when it was read and I didn't have to be in the car to know it brought Jim to tears. I could hear it in his voice. Just like Jim maizenblue_follower Jim is a man of family, a man of faith and a man of Michigan. That letter is in Jim Harbaughs possession to this day.
Lastly he is one of very few people who knows who Section_ 6 really is and what I do for Athletics at U of M. He's been trusted with that secret for years and never once leaked it to anyone.
I share all this as a reminder that there are human beings behind these message board screen names and before you blast, attack or belittle a fellow Michigan fan take a breath and realize we are all here because of this Michigan of ours. So no matter what he posts on this site I will always have his back because I know the man he is and I know what Michigan means to him and his family. Michigan men take care of our own.
As always Go Blue,
