If there is any justice in the world, Michigan State will beat UNC tonight at Ford Field in Detroit. It’s not just that the people of Detroit could use a victory, but also that a defeat will feel like another nail being pounded into the communal coffin if the sunbelt ballers get to put on their special tee shirts and ball caps under falling blue and white confetti.It’s been a rough year in Motown. MGM is even trying to sell their Detroit casino. When you can’t make money gambling you know times are tough.
I have nothing against the North Carolinians. They have a nice team. And if this were the University of Michigan playing, say, Tehran Tech, I’d be out recruiting my own personal berka-clad cheer leading squad to root the Persians on to victory.
But these are the Sparties. The sons of the Midwest working class. Magic’s team. Go State!
