It's The Big House, Not A Library

Despite having the largest stadium, Michigan has one of the quietest crowds:

When I told him that actually, during big — or “key” — plays, Michigan fans whip out their key chains and “jangle” them, he thought I was joking. When I told him I wasn’t, first he laughed, then he called one of his fellow SEC buddies over and said, “Tell him what you just told me.”

After explaining Michigan’s key play “tradition” once more, the other Auburn alum asked, “Does it ever get loud there?”

“Truth is,” I said, “not really.”
