Little kids who use a school assignment as an excuse to talk about college football rivalries should be cherished.
This young Ohio State fan’s immune system illustration includes Michigan germs
Brilliant.
On Wednesday, an Ohio State fan posted a picture on Twitter of her son’s illustration of how the immune system worked. Naturally, her son decided to use the Ohio State-Michigan rivalry as an analogy. To sum it up: Ohio State is the germ-fighting part of our immune system, and Michigan is the germs that enter the body, naturally:
Let’s break this down, because there’s a lot happening. Michigan, is obviously the germ, and it looks like OSU QB J.T. Barrett is the macrophage that links with the B-cell to defeat the germ.
The B-cell also produces antibodies, which in this photo appears to be Brutus the Buckeye and Urban Meyer, of course!
Next, Coach Meyer, or Helper T, signals a killer T cell to kill the germ. KT here is Buckeye defensive lineman Nick Bosa. Just as Bosa gets after quarterbacks, the killer T cell gets rid of the germ.
The immune system then lives happily ever after. Thank you for this, incredibly smart elementary school student. Seriously, if I had a college football metaphor to use when I was learning this stuff, maybe I’d remember it better.
This is almost as good as how this 2nd grader summed up Tennessee’s close victory over Appalachian State last season:
“Last night, I went to my nana’s house to watch the football game. We suck. That game was a nightmare. We almost lost. It really was a nightmare.”
