Our Reading
The routine arrives with confidence.
Last-second wins are always a thing.
Extra plays after the clock runs out are not.
Michigan keeps finding ways to win when it shouldn’t.
Oberlin still thinks it won in 1892.
This is how legends are born.
The original win was decided by a field goal and a train schedule.
The new one was decided by a replay review and a second.
Both sides still think they’re right.
It’s not a game, it’s a legacy.
This is what happens when you play football in Michigan.
You get to rewrite the ending.
Even if it’s not true.
The only thing that’s certain is that both teams are still arguing.
And they always will be.
