bury Michigan?
when they closed coffin, there was
someone else inside
Inspired by Bob Ufer as he said on the radio on November 20, 1976.
“Ohio Came To Bury Michigan, All Wrapped In Maize And Blue
The Words Were Said, The Prayers Were Read And Everybody Cried
But When They Closed The Coffin, There Was Someone Else Inside!
The Bucks Came To Bury The Wolverines – But Michigan Wasn’t Dead,
And When The Game Was Over, It Was Someone Else Instead.
Twenty-Two Michigan Wolverines Put On The Gloves Of Gray,
And As Cavender Played “The Victors”, They Laid Woody Hayes Away!”
I was raised on Woody Hayes.
Woody Hayes lived under my bed and if I got out of bed in the middle of the night, Woody might grab me and take me off to Columbus.
Now I live in Carolina.
And nothing could be finer than to be in Carolina and write silly things about a football game up North.
But who cares.
Michigan has now won one thousand and one college football games.
A Roman using roman numerals would add it up like this, MI.
As in Michigan.
As in Mike.
I’m good with that.
