Most folks don't believe the tattoo is real. But Pietrangelo bets anyone a week's paycheck if they can scrub the tattoo off without drawing blood. Pietrangelo never attended U-M but became a fan during his high school days. His father was a bookie and Pietrangelo spent most Saturdays following college football. He fell in love with the Michigan tradition.
Most people bleed red.
I bleed maize and blue. Pietrangelo can't afford tickets to see the national champions in person but never misses a game. He watches them on his front lawn with the Michigan fight song blaring from speakers inside his house. Pietrangelo said he will do anything to snag tickets to a Wolverine game. There is no stunt too big or no stunt too small.
