I would like to know why The Badger Herald is printing an article by some bandwagon Michigan fan (“I like them because they’re better”) on the eve of the biggest football game of the season.

The team needs our support more than ever in this crucial game, but yet, in the pages of the student newspaper, I find an article extolling the wonders and mystique of Michigan. I only hope that the article will further motivate Badger fans; I know that it adds to my hatred of Michigan (as if that were possible).

As for Lars Russell, if you are blue through and through as you claim, why did you decide to go to Wisconsin and write for the sports department?

I think you would have been much happier if you had gone a few hundred miles east, where you could bask in the mystique of Michigan all day long (until basketball season at least).
