College football fans attending the 2024 Rose Bowl showdown between No. 4 Alabama and No. 1 Michigan were treated to one of the best traditions in the sport.

Singing “Mr. Brightside” at the end of the third quarter of every Michigan home game has become a staple among Wolverine fans.

On Monday night, the song simply hit different as Michigan ended the quarter with a 13-10 lead—15 minutes away from playing for a national championship next Monday night.
