Someone who understands the tradition and styles of Michigan Football as a culture. He does not have to graduate from the school (see Bo Schembechler) or be from the state of Michigan (see Charles Woodson). All that one needs to do to be a Michigan Man, is understand the tradition of Michigan Football and to try to continue it, placing it about all else.
Even though Brady Hoke is from Ohio and went to Ball St, he is a Michigan Man. This is because he cut his teeth being an assistant coach at Michigan and helped them win a national championship in 1997.

Did you see the way he whined about getting sanctioned for cheating and destroying evidence? Now that is what I call a Michigan Man.

A Michigan Man is the quintessential embodiment of the principles of the U of M, to whit: Cheat, then lie, then play the victim, then say it was a loan wolf, then accuse the Conference when they bring enforcement action and initiate legal action to stop it, then say the cheating didn’t make a difference anyway, then attempt to destroy evidence, then drop the lawsuit like a hot potato when the Conference and the NCAA reveal evidence that a coach was involved and attempted to destroy evidence, then fire said coach for destroying evidence he shouldn’t have known about and which should not exist, then get rid of a troublesome booster who funded an operation which you allege never happened. These principles are embodied by only the greatest of Michigan Men.
