Theme: Autumn

Autumn in Ann Arbor means falling leaves and falling temperatures. He tells himself, that he should feel the cold. That a boy who'd never before been outside of Sourthern California shouldn't be bare-chested in a Michigan November. Even after tailgate and beers.

But, this is the Big House, and his Wolverines are challenging the hated Buckeyes of Ohio State for the Big Ten title and a trip to the Rose Bowl.

Here, he's surrounded by friends and his new family.

He tells himself he should feel nothing besides the cold.

But he doesn't. Somehow, his body knows that this isn't it.

A.N.2: "The Victors" is the name of the University of Michigan Fight Song. Were Connor to attend UMich, he'd be hearing it approximately every 8 seconds.
