Chris Webber showed up to watch Michigan after all

Chris Webber buried the hatchet with the university that first catapulted him to fame then disgraced his name and buried any mention of his presence.

The Fab Five star was a surprise attendee at Monday night's national championship watching Michigan play Louisville with his famed teammates.

He hasn't had a public relationship with the university since his role in a booster scandal led to sanctions and the stripping of the team's 1993 Final Four appearance.

Webber tweeted a message prior to the game

I'm here at the Georgia Dome to show my support for the Michigan men's basketball team in its quest for a National Championship. I've known some of the players on the team since they were kids and I am excited for them and all of the student athletes on the court tonight who are wearing the Michigan uniform. It has been a great season and I wish them all the best.

On Sunday Webber's Fab Five partner and childhood friend Jalen Rose took to a national podcast on Sunday night to convince Webber to attend the game.

It's almost like a flagrant omission if he decides not to come Rose said to ESPN's Bill Simmons.

But Webber did come. And he was wearing a crazy hat.
