I actually enjoyed very much even though I didn't comment on it. I love the word "maize" and every time it is used I am happy (I'm not being facetious here, I think it's borderline the best word on Earth to say out loud).

With that said, if you were to ask me the only college football team I am really a "fan" of, it would be the Portland State Vikings. I hate Michigan. I'm not from here, have no loyalty to it, no state pride, no nothing. It's just a stop on the journey back to Portland. So while it may appear that I am an overly zealous Ann Arbor inhabitant that attends UM, I neither attend the college nor really consider myself a real "fan" of the team. Especially not to the point where I would be willing to go down in flames with them no matter what just because they're UM. It’s impossible for my eyes to be “maized over.”

I agree with you there. Outcoached for certain, but I don't agree that it makes them a better football team.

That's part of the point I'm making. They played bad football for an entire HALF and got away with a 3-3 tie in that half. USC should have blown the game wide open there, but it took a REALLY bad quarter of football by Michigan for them to actually take advantage of the fact that Michigan was playing like crap.

I didn't forget that Ball State nearly beat them, it was an exciting game.

But like you said, they were “really close to losing”. Yes, Michigan almost lost to a bad football team. They didn't

USC did. Twice.
