Univ of Michigan

I've never been a fan of Michigan sports teams. Growing up in Pasadena, I naturally rooted against all Big 10 teams, one of which came to the Rose Bowl each year. All the same, I must admit that Michigan's fight song must be the best of the large lot.

This comes to mind because I heard it a lot today during the Michigan - Kentucky softball game. Michigan controlled the game until the bottom of the 7th, last inning in softball, when Kentucky got a lead off home run. And the Michigan pitcher, who had 9 strikeouts, lost it. 2 walks and a hit batter loaded the bases, a blip single won the game for Kentucky and eliminates Mich from more games. Heart breaking for the pitcher -- and shows you how much of the game is mental. She just lost it completely after the homer. The coach didn't take her out, maybe a mistake. She was the star player. But never could get it together after the homer, and ended the game in tears.
