Michigan is currently tied atop the Big Ten standings with in-state rivals Michigan State. Michigan plays Nebraska on Wednesday, a team that nearly pulled off the upset win over the Wolverines back in early January. In an effort to make sure another near let-down doesn’t happen, the Michigan student section will attempt to lighten the mood by wearing jorts for this Big Ten showdown.
Here’s the official word from the Maize Rage twitter account:
Tomorrow’s Jort-Out is an important part of the Maize Rage’s attempt to make the Nebraskans feel at home. So please wear your jorts #jortout
