Okay, this is the 14th entry of my deep dive into the Mr. Robot companion book Red Wheelbarrow.

How my beloved Michigan Wolverines Football Team Lost the 2016 Orange Bowl

Well, the game did not go how I hoped at all.

This is a record of my thoughts about why I think that we lost to Florida State in a game that was much more exciting than it probably deserved to be.

Congrats to FSU and thanks for a great year from the Michigan players and coaches!
