“nobody roots for goliath.” – wilt chamberlain
in a snow bowl game
with rivalry roots from way back when
that hadn’t been won
by
the university of michigan over the ohio state university
in so many years
at last the wolverines bring a victory home
and with the win
michigan stadium is filled with jubilant fans
spilling out onto the field
and into the very, very happy town of ann arbor.
