Sidebar Additions: Introducing the Borges-O-Meter

First off, your thorough analysis of tonight's basketball game: Michigan is better at basketball than Northwestern.

We've made a couple of additions to the blog sidebar. We've added links to our most popular Michigan-related quizzes on Sporcle, including our infamous "Sparty, No!" quiz.

Also, now that Al Borges has the personnel in place to run his desired pro-style offense, we're introducing the "Borges-O-Meter" to measure fan satisfaction on a scale from 1 to 10. Since we're nerds, each level corresponds to an appropriate short story by Jorge Luis Borges.

Here's a handy-dandy animated GIF of the Borges-O-Meter and a table of the associated stories:

Level	Story	Offensive Perfomance
10	Tlön, Uqbar, Orbus Tertius	otherworldly
9	Funes the Memorious	unforgettable
8	The Aleph	capable of anything
7	The Garden of Forking Paths	cunning
6	The Lottery of Babylon	fortunate
5	On Exactitude in Science	precise
4	Pierre Menard, Author of the Quixote	predictable
3	The Library of Babel	baffling
2	The Disk	one-dimensional
1	The Gospel According to Mark	housefire

With the return of Taylor Lewan and the successful recruitment of Derrick Green, we're bumping the Borges-O-Meter up to a 6 (The Lottery of Babylon, fortunate). This is up two spots from its post-Outback Bowl rating of 4 (Pierre Menard, Author of the Quixote, predictable).

In deference to Charlie Blockham, the Borges-O-Meter is, and always will be, in Aachen typeface.

Update! Following MGoBlog's suggestion, we have swapped levels 5 and 6. So The Lottery of Babylon is now Level 5 and now the current state of the Borges-O-Meter.
