Is it time for Michigan to give up? We're not talking about a football team, mind you, we're talking about the state.
Because apparently Wisconsin owns us.
That's the story the latest sports numbers tell us, anyway, as Wisconsin football gleefully tweeted out this weekend.
Wisconsin 61, Central Michigan 0Wisconsin 35, Michigan 14Wisconsin 38, Michigan State 0Send us the deed, @UpperPeninsula

Er, wait, some of us do.
After Wisconsin Tweeted that jab, the popular Upper Peninsula twitter feed parried the French way. They gave up and changed their name to the 'Upper Peninsula of Wisconsin.'
Treachery!
It's official, I belong to Wisconsin now. https://t.co/qqdEgyxhkY

Who's laughing now.
