something a lot of people don't know about sparty

back when yost was athletic director/coach of michigan and the big 10 was being formed, he did everything he could to get n.d. banned from membership in the conference as well as banned from college sports in general. he was a hater. he forbid big 10 members from playing the irish under penalty of possible exile. sparty defied this threat (and it could have been very costly for them) but they put n.d. on their schedule and that gave us a quality opponent when we really needed one. i'm not a sparty fan, but that act, even though it was last century, softened my opinion of them.

i do, however, hate everything michigan.

well, except for lloyd's kid.
