OK, not on-the-field-performance. And, sure, three HOF teams have come out of Michigan, One in 2014, one in 2005, and one in 1997. Congrats to all three, and best wishes for continued success, but ... One of those was ancient history, one was long ago, and one was recent. At the pace the FRC landscape evolves, going back to 2005 or further is a loooong time.
Let me suggest this: If you were to start a clock now, I'm not aware of any obstacles anywhere outside of Michigan that prevent well-rounded teams from catching their own lightning in a bottle, before the next Michigan team does. The money coming from Michigan's government might make it a little bit easier for Michigan teams to be effective at satisfying the HOF evaluation criteria, but there is more than one way to skin that cat.
