    Lol upset? looks like domination to me. By the way Michigan just becuase they LOOK like you doesn't mean you can claim their wins. (and I always wondered how Michigan became "the winningest program in college football")

    Just for the record Delaware created those helmets. Those Meechigan guys are just posers.

    If I'm not mistaken, they just mentioned on ESPN that Michigan started using that design in the 30's and Delaware started using it in the 50's. However, it is said that Michigan "copied" their winged helmets from Princeton in the late 30's.

    HBO stated in their rivalry show UM coach invented the design to better identify their own players. Nothing mentioned of the designs origination. Perhaps omitted because they were talking UM/ tOSU only?

    probably, who knows I wouldn't doubt that michigan would take credit for something that was created almost 30 years before hand

    It was Princeton, sorry (dont have the greatest memory). My high school had those helmets because we ran the wing t, like Princeton...which is why the design was created. The dude who made them went to Michigan after Princeton.

    Either way they are still posers. :)
