Universities are a completely different bag altogether.
Bureaucrats and politics.

Why would it never happen at Michigan State?
I'm not saying that you should stop exploring other options - by all means get on with your life. But has there been specific news that you're not getting in at Michigan State?
Curious,

That was a reference to the rivalry between the 2 schools.
I went to Michigan State. Scott went to the University of Mich. I'll always be a Spartan at heart, even if we lose miserably to the Wolverines in football every year.

Not that bad
Two years of overtime thrillers would hardly be considered "los[ing] miserably."
Besides, my alma mater should've made ya proud this past January 1, beating the hell outta the Wolverines in the Rose Bowl. :)

And get this..
They emailed me for my references yesterday. My primary reference is sitting in THEIR corner office. Hello?! How do they think they found me in the first place?

That's called bureaucracy.
At least the process is moving forward.

Re: That's called bureaucracy.
which sometimes means that the candidate is already chosen but
they need to create a paper trail for HR

Not so fast
I've seen multiple candidates get most of the way through the process then die at the references stage.
In general you get a list of things that you were potentially concerned about based on what you saw in the interview. If the references confirm your worries, then that's it. If the references comfort you on the issues that you have, then they get one step further in the process.
Cheers,
Ben
