Meechigan is grate!

No one wanted to comment on the competitive eating video game? I'm hurt.


Well, this will make up for it. Michigan is the nation's number 1 champion factory:

To identify the top professional athlete-producing schools, Forbes.com's Kelly Nolan examined the current rosters of every team in the National Football League, Major League Baseball, the National Basketball Association, the National Hockey League and Major League Soccer.

...

The biggest champion factory is the University of Michigan, which produced 68 current roster professional athletes. (Michigan's archrival, Ohio State, placed second with 62.)


This is the sort of stuff you have to cling to when you lose the head to head game. Sigh. Next year! Except it's Rich Rod's first, so he can suck and it's not the end of the world! But the season after that, you better look out!

The Wolverines have won more football games than any other program in NCAA history, including the first Rose Bowl game back in 1901.


La, la, la .... what losing record to Ohio State in recent times?


Did I sigh yet?

I once drank beer out of cup-style trophy awarded to the NCAA national cricket champion. My friend's roommate was the captain of Haverford's team, which beat the other team (Wooster College) for the title. No joke. I went to the college that played Princeton in the nation's first inter-collegiate soccer match. A glory surpassed only by the 1901 Rose Bowl. The point: hang onto past glory like a Titanic life preserver, because you never know.

Princeton has alot of firsts. The first ever college football game was between Rutgers and Princeton (Rutgers won, 6-4). Michigan's helmet design was brought to us by a coach we stole from Princeton (sound familiar?).
