For the non-Americans: the University of Michigan and the University of Washington are, on Jan 8, 2024, playing against each other in the college football national championship game, almost certainly the inspiration for this quiz.

Go blue!

Also coincidental because I think Quizmaster lived in Michigan and now lives in Seattle, Washington.

If you're reading this QM, who are you supporting?

This quiz might be somewhat important because one H brother (look at the bottom of the page) lives in Seattle (Quizmaster) and the other, his brother, lives in Ann Arbor.

Also for non-Americans, know that Dominos pizza tastes like cardboard, and Jets is the true GOAT of the 5 Michigan chains that also includes Hungry Howies, Cottage Inn, and as mentioned in quiz, Little Caesars.

I’d stretch to call American dominos passable, but I’d stretch to call european dominos food. I have no idea how they’re still in business over there, it was the worst pizza I’ve ever had.

Not at all. First of all, every team steals signs.

What Michigan is accused of doing is sending someone to other teams' games to videotape signs. This isn't currently allowed because not all teams can afford to do it.

Even if Michigan used this video evidence (certainly not proven, the guy might have done it on his own), it wasn't for any of the games that mattered this season.

This is nuclear grade cope, similar to the Patriots haters who want to blame deflategate for the Patriots' success. The fact is that Michigan simply outplayed everyone they faced this year.

That said, I wish Georgia had gotten a chance to compete. They deserved it over Texas, IMO.

The highest market cap in Michigan is some random health care company worth $100 billion. After that, it's Ford and GM at around $50 billion.

Microsoft is about 50 times more valuable than Ford.

14/15 I didn't read "borders a state starting with O" but assumed state capital starting with O.
