Top 10 Reasons to Root for Michigan this Saturday

A non-partisan friend asked me to give him two reasons why he should root for Michigan over Ohio State in the big game this coming Saturday. Following is my response:

10. Michigan's players' rap sheets aren't nearly as long as OSU's

9. Jim Tressel is 4-1 against Michigan. It's his turn to feel some pain.

8. Michigan is a better academic institution than OSU.

7. Michigan doesn't have a nut as it's mascot.

6. Better fight song, better uniforms.

5. OSU is in Ohio. Enough said.

4. Henne, Hart, Breaston, and Manningham!

3. OSU has a top 5 Basketball team this year. Michigan's team is unranked. OSU can't hog all the accolades.

2. Native Americans used buckeyes to make an anti-hemmoroidal creme.

...and the number one reason to root for Michigan...

1. You want to be rooting for the team that wins, don't you?
