Seeing the new logo as inspiration, Oosterbaan channeled his inner Yost and decided it was time for Michigan to have a mascot again. Oosterbaan brought the idea to Fritz Crisler, who...

    In the 1980s, a group of industrious Michigan students decided it was time to replace Murderwolf with something more modern.

They came up with a new ma...
