“Sobbing in the comment section,” says University of Michigan’s official account as fans celebrate the heartwarming clip.
Something exceptionally special happened at the University of Michigan football game on October 4, 2025. This time, there is nothing related to touchdowns or tackles. It is a short TikTok from the maize-out at the Big House in Ann Arbor that has melted the hearts of everyone on the internet.
The viral clip shows an older Michigan fan standing in a crowd of yellow, holding a wrinkled sheet of paper. On paper, the lyrics to Mr. Brightside by The Killers are written. As the entire stadium starts singing, that Michigan fan follows along line by line, and he ensures that he doesn’t miss even a single word.
The smile is on his face, and it is impossible that a person doesn’t smile while watching the TikTok video. The TikTok’s caption includes just one teary-eyed emoji, and that emoji perfectly explains the emotions of people. The video quickly went viral and got thousands of likes and comments.
