My license plate is BEATUM. I have been to every home Michigan game since 1998 and all of them home and away since 2002 — yes, including the last four. You will not find a fan who cares more about the Michigan game than I do.

Yet the classic hypothetical has always been — would you rather beat Michigan and not win a title, or lose to Michigan and win the title?

Well, we now have our answer.

GIVE ME THAT NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP.

But of course, for the love of God, beat Michigan next year!

GO BUCKS!
