Kate Upton is making the media rounds, promoting her appearance on the cover of the Sports Illustrated swimsuit edition.
One recent appearance was on Colin Cowherd’s show on ESPN Radio.
After Cowherd mistakenly said she attended Michigan, Upton corrected him and said her family consists of “diehard” U-M football fans.
“Every year, we have a huge family reunion after Thanksgiving and go to the Ohio State-Michigan game,” she said.
So be sure to look for her in 2013 in Ann Arbor.

IF Ireland are heading to Paris with a deep sense of injustice at the manner of Sunday’s defeat by Wales, they are determined to keep it private.
The disciplinary hearing convened yesterday to examine Stephen Ferris’ final-minute tackle on Ian Evans concluded the incident should not have incurred a penalty, never mind the yellow card or citing that followed.
It was a pivotal call by referee Wayne Barnes as Leigh Halfpenny steered the penalty between the uprights to snatch a last-gasp 23-21 victory for Wales.
The repercussions for Ireland are considerable as they now head to Paris – where they have prevailed just once since 1972 – desperate to rescue their Six Nations.
They may have been robbed of a momentum-building win by Barnes’ decision, but coach Declan Kidney today refused to condemn the official.

There is hope that an active ingredient found in magic mushrooms, psilocybin, could be used to help with the treatment of depression.
Two scientific studies published this week show how activity in certain parts of the brain is subdued by an ingredient found in magic mushrooms, psilocybin. Results from both studies conclude that people exposed to psilocybin have clearer memories, which may provide an insight into the effects of psychedelic drugs on the brain.
Lead author for both of the studies was Professor David Nutt, from Imperial College London.
Harry Redknapp has reassured Steven Pienaar and the rest of his fringe players that they can break into the Tottenham first-team in the second half of the season.
Tottenham face Everton at White Hart Lane on Wednesday knowing a victory will put them level with second-placed Manchester United and three points behind Premier League leaders Manchester City.
Redknapp is likely to recall the likes of Rafael van der Vaart, Luka Modric and Gareth Bale after resting them for Saturday’s 3-0 FA Cup win over Cheltenham.
That could mean a return to the bench for Pienaar, who has started just five league games for Spurs and been linked with a return to Everton on loan, but Redknapp has told the 29-year-old that he can still force his way into his first-team plans.
“Players like Pienaar and (Niko) Kranjcar are good players and they can get in the team,” Redknapp said.

Four years after trading Carlos Quentin from Arizona to the Chicago White Sox, new Padres general manager Josh Byrnes is bringing the All-Star outfielder back to San Diego.
Byrnes acquired Quentin from the White Sox for two prospects on Saturday.
The trade is expected to bolster San Diego’s anemic offense. Quentin has four consecutive 20-homer seasons, including 36 in 2008. He will play leftfield.
The White Sox received minor league pitchers Simon Castro, a right-hander, and Pedro Hernandez, a left-hander.
While GM of the Diamondbacks, Byrnes traded Quentin to the White Sox for first baseman Chris Carter in December 2007.
Quentin, 29, hit .254 with 24 home runs, a career-high 31 doubles and 77 RBIs in 118 games in 2011, when he made his second All-Star team.
