Classy Michigan Fans Are Tweeting Death Threats At Punter For His Game-Losing Blunder

A successful punt would have surely won the game for the Wolverines, as time was expiring, but the Australian-born punter made a blunder that will be etched in the Michigan/Michigan State rivalry scrapbook for decades to come.

Michigan fans were left in a  state of, well, one picture tells the story:

Matt’s love of writing was born during a sixth grade assembly when it was announced that his essay titled “Why Drugs Are Bad” had taken first prize in D.A.R.E.’s grade-wide contest. The anti-drug people gave him a $50 savings bond for his brave contribution to crime-fighting, and upon the bond’s maturity 10 years later, he used it to buy his very first bag of marijuana.
