Last week, Camp Randall Stadium was the stage for a nerve-wracking, turnover-heavy defensive tour de force. Despite Alex \u201clefty quarterbacks are unnatural\u201d Hornibrook\u2019s two pick-sixes, the Wisconsin Badgers defense held the Iowa Hawkeyes<\/a> to 66 total yards and won the game by 24.<\/p>\n

Michigan will roll into town on Saturday as the biggest test the Wisconsin football team has faced all season. The Wolverines are without first-string quarterback Wilton Speight but still boast a tough defense. This could be an interesting matchup against a Badgers offense that seems to be able to do very little except watch Jonathan Taylor do Heisman Trophy things<\/a>.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re absolutely have to<\/em> talk to a visiting UM fan \u2014 whose name is most likely Lance \u2014 here are some facts you can sling out to make Lance feel right at home.<\/span>\n

Let\u2019s talk about Jim Harbaugh<\/h2>\n

Michigan head coach Jim Harbaugh might be an actual insane person. Jumping off a high dive in his signature khakis? Check<\/a>. Giving a pair of Jordans to the Pope? You got it<\/a>. Advocating for quality legal help for underprivileged Americans? Uhh sure<\/a>. No matter the endeavor Harbaugh undertakes, he does it with the same fiery passion he brings to the football field. In many ways, we could learn a lot from Jim Harbaugh. Life is short. Embrace everything with your full attention, and don\u2019t be afraid to get your khakis wet. Also, who wants to bet that Pope Francis has actually said mass in his J\u2019s?<\/span>\n

\"Gerald<\/span>\n

POTUS who\u2019s the UofM-OSTUS<\/h2>\n

Michigan football has had a lot<\/em> of high-profile alumni over the years. Tom Brady and Charles Woodson are are among the many NFL legends who wore the maize (yellow<\/a>) and blue in college. But none of them can hold a candle to former Wolverines center and linebacker Gerald Ford, who never made it the pros<\/a> but did serve as the 38th President of the United States. Ford is the only president who wasn\u2019t actually elected prez\u00a0or<\/em> vice prez. He replaced two resignees: Richard Nixon and Spiro Agnew, respectively. Crazy political times back then.<\/span>\n

The People\u2019s Republic of Ann Arbor<\/h2>\n

Madison likes to flaunt its history as a counter-cultural mecca, but Ann Arbor might be even more lefty. People have been calling it \u201cThe People\u2019s Republic of Ann Arbor\u201d since the 1960s thanks to its extreme liberal politics. In 1974, the City Council welcomed the country\u2019s first openly gay elected official<\/a>, Kathy Kozachenko. And that\u2019s downright shocking considering the state nearly gave us<\/a> Senator Kid Rock.<\/span>\n
