65th team in the country?  That's  absurd, if you honestly believe that
Michigan could not beat ANY of the 64 teams you let your brain get too cold
up there in the Soo!  For that matter, Michigan BEAT the national champions
when they met earlier in the year.
 
And for that matter, why take a swing at our basketball team?  When was the
last time LSSU basket ball did anything but make snow balls in late March?
 
I digress, I know this is a hockey list,  but I too am growing very tired of
the Michigan bashing.  And this was just yet another example...  Bringing up
basketball.... Indeed!.
 
Jerry.
 
Michigan  '93.
 
P.S.  I tried to look up the word 'rythem' (your line #7) in my dictionary,
but couldn't find it.  Perhaps they have a special words they only teach in
the Soo.
 
CAN'T WE ALL JUST GET ALONG!
