Terry Foster: It Is Easy To Engage And Enrage Wolverines And Spartans

Please forgive me. I was bad last night and there was no excuse for my behavior.

Alabama and LSU bored me during the national championship broadcast from New Orleans. I was tired of watching field goals. I was tired of watching LSU's offense move like an elephant in quick sand. Congrats to Bama and its 21-0 victory. Congrats to Nick Saban and his third national championship. But I was bored.

So I started a Michigan-Michigan State war on purpose with one simple tweet. Which football team enjoyed a better football season? Was it the 11-2 Michigan Wolverines that revived their program under new football coach Brady Hoke? Or was it the Michigan State Spartans (11-3) who played for a Big Ten championship after winning its division in the Big Ten?

I sat back and let the sparks fly. Michigan fans claimed their season was better because their team had one more loss. "Do the math," someone wrote. They also said their team beat Notre Dame and Nebraska — teams the Spartans lost to. Their team played in a BCS game in the Sugar Bowl. State played in the Outback Bowl.
