Michigan and Duke are on a collision course

The National Championship is less than three months away, and Michigan and Duke are on a collision course. Unlike the Linkin Park/Jay-Z Collision Course, this collision course provides an opportunity to alleviate the pain from the early 90s and reignite a dormant rivalry.

In the 1991-92 season, Michigan’s Fab Five took college basketball by storm, disrupting the status quo and forever changing the antiquated aesthetics of the college game. Trash talk, baggy shorts, and a “fuck you” attitude upset the establishment socially and athletically.

The Wolverines went on an unprecedented, freshman-led run reaching the 1992 National Championship before ultimately falling short to college basketball’s highest guard, the Duke Blue Devils.
