Go Blue! Michigan Sports Starter Pack
A starter pack for Michigan alums and fans with a focus on college football. Let me know who I'm missing so I can add them. This is just to get this list going and growing. GO BLUE!
Eric Champnella's Starter Pack Extravaganza!
Here are some of my fave follows. They range from big accounts you probably already know/follow to some smaller folks you might enjoy. Some are all politics, some less so. All anti-MAGA, but tried to include a few centrist & conservative voices so it's not just an echo chamber.
