OT: Wolverines winner of March Madness (not that March Madness)
Didn't see this posted, but the Wolverines have won March (Mammal) Madness! What is MMM, you ask? Well, it's a NCAA basketball-like tournament in which animals (not just mammals, oddly) are pitted against one another in battles to the death to determine which animal reigns supreme. And, as if there was any doubt, the (3-seeded) Wolverine has come out on top, beating the (1 seeded) Okapi.
The tournament is the creation of Arizona State University and is used as a teaching instrument to inspire young children to learn about animals and biological ecosystems. My children's school runs an office pool like tournament with small prizes, but the main focus is to teach them about math, science, and story telling.
Finals video is here: https://youtu.be/9jxpPBlAxnc?t=265. it's targeting elementary school kids, so it's intentionally childish.

I saw the puppet and instantly had a flashback to when we sucked and couldn't watch the rest.
Hey, every Defensive Coordinator should follow this highly successful inspirational tool. Worked like a charm. Got us Harbaugh and Minter. Timing was a little off though.
I pictured Georgia and Stanford in the first round, with Stanford eliminated by a dog pissing on a tree.
A fight to the death to inspire young children.
Carry on!
I knew JK Simmons was born in Detroit but did not grow up there. I had no idea he had subsequently moved to Columbus and adopted Ohio State.
I feel like a close friend has died.
#1 seeded Okapi?!! Committees are ignornant everywhere I guess.
The Murderwolf is the only creature that could give the wolverine a run for its money, and only if it’s holding a bat.
"It's targeting elementary school kids, so it's intentionally childish."
So a perfect fit for MGoBlog.
How were we not a 1 seed? Offensive.
