The one and only time the Michigan Wolverines played the Texas Longhorns in a football game, the only real social media we had was Myspace and AOL Instant Messenger. Now with Facebook, Twitter and Instagram at our disposal, information is able to be sought out much quicker, which is especially helpful for us in the journalism field.
When I started looking into the national perception of Michigan vs. Texas, I had a hunch most outlets across the country would be bullish on Texas’ chances to win the game handily. Well, turns out my gut feeling was incorrect.
