AS MICHIGAN FOOTBALL players took their Block M flag to midfield at Ohio Stadium after their 13-10 win against rival Ohio State on Nov. 30, they unwittingly set off a chain of events that still has the college football world talking.
Inside a celebratory mass of players, a small group stood at the center and waved the flag back and forth before symbolically planting it at the 50-yard line. It was the Wolverines' fourth straight win against the Buckeyes, and, again, they claimed their territory as their own.
None of this should have caught anyone off guard.
