I am making light of the otherwise harmless quip that changed the whole air in the Midwest as Michigan still would have been searching for a National Championship and the emotional embers versus Nebraska are as hot as they where January 2nd, 1998.
I feel like this is a timely and a topical piece, because, like it or not, Michigan is Detroit, and there is a sense of shattered superiority. Losing to a way-bad Michigan State only wants Sparty get the UP and Grand Rapids Worse, both prior Michigan outlays.
Big Blue's Blues don't help the Scarlet and Grey. It only helps throw a Conference, Region and a Western United States unhandedly up for grabs. We'd get fooled into believing a Once in 17 Year Hawaii-BYU Big Moment (Hawaii wins in Provo for the 1st Time Ever), only instead, it backwash into the Western Nevers (Colorado picking the worst time to lose to USC, which would have made the Buffaloes a Rose Bowl/College Football Playoff Team with Ralphie charging out that Rose Bowl Chute and helming the Rose Parade and kept McIntyre and had USC actually get Kingsbury as Head Coach later on.)
Other than having the worst Alumni House Leadership, with the Fab Five trying to torch the NCAA Final Hex to 5, and Hairball's Fifth is getting older and infuriating, and picking apart the Kansas Fighting Jayhawks, The Football Program, the Kansas Fighting Jayhawks, the Athletic Department, the University of Kansas and the State of Kansas at the same time is not an option or not a good image for either Michigan or Kansas like the Border War came back in full rage this Fall.
