Fuck Michigan

One of the most pervasive and fun parts of my trip to Columbus was the hatred for "that school up North."

Here are some examples:
The staff at the Mongolian BBQ had shirts that said "Wolverine tastes like Chicken"
State Farm advertises "In case you hit a Wolverine"



At Eddie George's restaurant logos are used to identify which TV will show which game. The Michigan logo was upside down. This happens everywhere Big Ten schools' flags are flown. Michigan is always upside down.
Also at Eddie George's, the urinals in the men's room had Michigan logos as piss targets.
The cool thing to have in your bathroom is a Michigan toilet plunger.
At the Gameday event, they showed a story on Michigan and when Chris Webber called his ill fated timeout, everyone cheered.



But the coup de grace, was the new song I learned: "We don't give a damn for the whole state of Michigan, the whole state of Michigan..."
