The college football offseason flies by when your basketball team wins the national championship with a 37-3 record and 29 double-digit wins against the No. 1 strength of schedule, setting the all-time record for Big Ten wins and going undefeated on the road.
Highly recommend.
As a Michigan sports fan, I feel like I’m stumbling through a surreal fever dream. It’s as if the universe has been transformed into some sort of simulation designed to see how much pleasure one man can tolerate. It wasn’t enough to win two national titles in the two major sports in such short succession. Somehow the championships were won in a manner that exacted maximum rage from rival fanbases. It’s one thing to just win a vanilla championship that fades with time only to be one of many footnotes of a bygone era. It’s another to have your successes cemented in the heads of so many haters, whose anger only serves to reanimate the legacy over and over again. Gore Vidal once said “it’s not enough to win, others must lose” and my petty ass wishes we could turn that into a maize and blue banner to hang in the rafters. Hail hail to Michigan and also to the haters.
For the Fab 5. For Trey Burke. For John Beilein. For the Big 10. For Sweet 16 Tommy. For Willy and GBR. For Titus who doesn’t have a basketball program. For the Michigan Man way. For Jolin. For winning with class. For the Mud Bowl. For the Team The Team The Team . For Connor Stallions. For the Block M. For proving those who stay will become champions! For Dusty May. For proving you can have elite academics and athletics. For all the Walmart Wolverines. For every kid that dreamed of going to Michigan but didn’t get in and went to MSU. For greatness. For immortality. For all the Wolverines across the globe. Let’s go get this title for us! #Goblue 🇺🇸
