UMich Squirrels are quite strange, in fact, I do not think that they are really squirrels, rather they are "Attack Rodents." First of all, they are red, signifying evil and secondly they are huge. The final cue that they are not normal is their behavior. The other day I was walking to class and one was in the sidewalk. Rather than running upon sight, it stayed in position and then assumend attack mode until I was about three feet away, then it ran.

Unfortunatly, I cannot hate these squirrels as I have just joined the Michigan Squirrel Club. Aside from having the most awesome T-shirts EVER, they get together every once in a while to feed squirrels peanuts on the main mall of the campus (called the Diag). So, as strange as the UMich Squirrels are, I could not pass up the chance to be a part of the best univerisity organisation on campus.
