Why it matters
The article reflects the intense scrutiny and emotional investment fans and media place on collegiate sports outcomes.
The sun is shining, the birds are chirping their little hearts out and we get this edition of Labor Day Monday Screencaps rolling with a recap of a weekend that will be remembered as the weekend where we learned that the clock that we see during football games isn't the official...official game clock, if you're watching Big Ten football. Am I mad that Michigan won? Not at all. I LOVE that Michigan won like that because of the mental gymnastics that these fans have going on in their heads. I LOVE that the supposedly smart Michigan students, the coastal elites, rushed the field after beating Western Michigan. In fact, I'm tempted to get a photo of the field rush framed for my basement. Look at all the people on the field after one of the most important wins in Michigan history. Rockwell couldn't have painted it better.
