Water Polo is a very underrated spectator sport. If you're a student I strongly suggest you check it out - and it looks like today's a perfect opportunity.
Certainly it's more entertaining than baseball. But then I like soccer too so what do I know?
How awesome would the Michigan swimming caps look with wings on them?
Do it.
