Being a University of Michigan football fan should be joyful.
Michigan is an elite academic institution whose football team
boasts forty-three Big Ten championships. But these days, college
football is complicated. The NCAA is corrupt and exploitative, and
Michigan keeps losing to Ohio State. It's hard not to wonder, as
Slate writer and superfan Ben Mathis-Lilley does in this book: Why
are we doing this? The Hot Seat is a chronicle of one of the
wildest years in Michigan football history, but also a search for
the truth about fandom, from the pages of history books to the
wilderness of online forums. Is it embarrassing to care about what
happens in a game? Why is Jim Harbaugh like that? Is it somehow
Thomas Jefferson's fault? This book explores all these questions
and many more. Against the backdrop of a quickly changing sport and
country, The Hot Seat is an exploration of the all-consuming
culture of fandom, and why it matters.
