U of M Football

I had a discussion with a U of M football fan yesterday. I took this away from it--and left him with this, too.

U of M always prided itself, arrogantly, too arrogantly, on winning while doing things the right way. Now, I'll overlook that a lot of dirty laundry was swept under the rug, laundry that came out in other college towns. But U of M was "holier than thou." "We can win by obeying the rules."

Now, they obviously can't or, at least, aren't. That's fine. Anyway, this U of M fan argued in favor of the current coach and climate in Ann Arbor. I said that's fine, I really don't care one way or another. But the writing is now clearly on the wall. U of M and its fan base are hypocrites--winning is more important that obeying the rules or, perhaps a bit less stringently, doing the right thing.

Oh, I think U of M fans will still be arrogant, but I'll be able to point out a certain little thing or two now....
