Did Saturday’s 31-6 victory over Bowling Green feel like a 25-point victory for the Michigan Wolverines? Or did it feel like a spiritless slog to the finish line by a possibly arrogant team too focused on the destination instead of the journey?
In 2004’s Dodgeball: A True Underdog Story, Globo Gym — led by antagonist gym owner White Goodman (Ben Stiller) — is branded with a demeaning, “motivating” company slogan that runs during their commercials: “Here at Globo Gym, we’re better than you…And we know it.”
This is how the Wolverines played on Saturday: We are Michigan, we’re better than you, and 10 percent of our attention and effort is good enough to beat a MAC team.
