If looks matter...

If looks matter, then Michigan had the game last night won at the National Anthem. In Iowa they line up across the court. Michigan was all in uniform with all of them with their hands on their heart and attentive (excusing Mo Wagner for reason). Iowa on the other hand did not look particulary attentive and only three players had their hands on their heart. I think some still had sweats on, but I could be mistaken. This is not a political statement. The difference was apparent in discipline and presence. Michigan was ready and looked confident.

At that moment the stench from the bowl game began to recede from my nostrils. As an alum in an opponents home, I was proud to wear the colors.

The rest of the game just completed the beating. Michigan's passing just wore down their will to defend. My Iowa friends were muttering the entire night, particularly about their shattered defense. It was wonderful.

 

Ive got a daughter

Agree.  But I will stick to my comment that this tarnishes things and cools a little of the excitement.  Justice here was not swift if even understandable.  I will need to continue to educate her - it is an epidemic of assaults on campus and this is very recently addressed by the President (past week I believe).

Helps Explain History

Tragic.  Very unsettling.  As an alumni and avid van, this tarnishes things.  Moreover, my daughter is determined to attend the University in a year.  What to say and do?  Meanwhile, I guess it is perhaps easier to understand the poor kicking performance by young Mr. Gibbons in the first year.  The student tryouts by Coach Rod may have been more than just a performance concern.  Sigh.
