Reader Comments

I voted for Gadfly but it is not showing up. Why?

LETS GO BLUE!

The Michigan OTR is clearly the best. Its entertaining, it often discusses issues that are important on campus, and its contributors are witty and talented!

Hail to the Victors!

"This is not a fair match up, anyone who notices or cares about substance would clearly prefer Wesleying, is school loyalty or empty bravado was not an issue. I want a recount."

What does that even mean? Did you attend Wesleying?
