LGHail already put up 58 excellent reasons to hate our arch-rivals down south, but my antipathy for this week isn’t even about the opponent.
It’s about the symbolic end of football for a season. When it comes down to it, we only get around 40 guaranteed hours of Michigan football to watch per year. 40 hours. For a sport we obsess about pretty constantly, that’s not a lot of football. And if you think that there’s only about 15 minutes per game of actual football being played, that’s roughly three total hours of actual action.
Sure, postseason play means a chance for greatness, and part of being a Michigan fan is expecting greatness and being super arrogant about it, but for me, I really just want to watch Michigan play more football games.
