Explaining Michigan football’s history with Slippery Rock

Picture this scenario. You’re sitting inside Michigan Stadium watching the Wolverines take on USC three months from now. It’s a late third-quarter media timeout and you’ve just pulled out your phone to check some out-of-town scores.

Just then, the familiar boom of the PA announcer’s voice comes over the loudspeaker to make a special announcement, and a green “S” pops up on the big screen. You find out that Slippery Rock has just defeated Shippensburg by a final score of 34-21. The crowd erupts as if it’s just watched Donovan Edwards take off for a 50-yard touchdown.
