Parts of the Detroit area had air quality readings in the 150s and 160s yesterday, placing them on par with New York City, though the skies appeared clearer here for some reason. Of course, discussing air quality is not Football Archaeology's core competency. Still, it connects with events from 144 years ago when the University of Toronto sent a team through Southern Ontario and across the Detroit River to play the University of Michigan in the Wolverines' second-ever football game.
