Threat Level is Happy to Award the Michigan Wolverines a Merit Badge and a Coupon for a Free Small Shake for Winning in October

Michigan football fandom is at war with itself.

On one side, there is the vast majority of Wolverine fans who realize and acknowledge that there is literally no point in getting unduly excited about anything they see from Michigan football until the corporeal spirit of Fielding Yost hovers over Michigan stadium and poltergeists a folding chair right into C.J. Stroud's face. These fans are correct in believing that happiness is a mirage that can only be made real by upsetting the balance of the universe, and a closer-than-it-looks 38-17 win against the Wisconsin Badgers wasn't it.

On the other, there is a smaller, wronger contingent of Michigan devotees who want to lose their minds about the 2021 edition of Harbaugh's squad, right freaking now, and their first win at Camp Randall since 2001 is exactly the excuse they were looking for.
