• Michigan: Turkey

  My high school P.E. teacher used to say, “You’ll never fly like an eagle when you’re surrounded by turkeys.” Michigan is the turkey of the Big Ten. Turkey is the attention seeker of Thanksgiving. It thinks it’s the main dish, but really everyone is here for the sides. It doesn’t really shine until it’s time for leftovers, and you can put it on a sandwich where the taste is masked by all the other foods in the sandwich.

  Also, much like the Thanksgiving turkey is going to get stuffed on Thursday, Michigan is going to get stuffed on Saturday.

  Penn State: Tofurky

  Turkey thinks it’s the main dish. Tofurky thinks it’s the main dish and is snooty about it. But we all know tofurky is not the real deal. It leaves a weird taste in your mouth. For those who like that sort of thing, that is the sort of thing they like, and good for them I guess. But let’s stop pretending tofurky is as good as real turkey. It’s not, and real turkey isn’t even that good to begin with.
