And 21,000 people starved to death that day. It's too bad those extra 45000 fans couldn't actually contribute something useful to humanity.
our spring game format is a joke by comparison to almost every other school.

that is all.
that we are relying on someone from Ohio State to have the ability to count to 61,000, which AHAHAHA no. I see though that they failed to mention that it was big news in Columbus last week that Urban made the AD cut prices to the game from $20 to $5 because Urban wanted to create more of an "SEC feel" at the game
That's still $5 more than what Michigan charged. But OSU should have more people attend the game. It's a city of 2 million people.
... And not a single fuck was given.
Seriously, if this at all causes any kind of emotion out of you, you need to disconnect from sports for a while or something.

To be absolutely fair, Penn State somehow drew 72,000 for their spring game, so if any team could possibly brag a little about spring attendance (but really, why would you do that?), it would be the Nittany Lions. Either way, it seems like a bit of a reach to crack wise in this case, but then I have to remember which fanbase and fan culture we're talking about here.
April 14th, 2014 at 12:20 PM ^
But the Spring Game is their Bowl Game.
April 14th, 2014 at 10:27 AM ^
It seems to me that only Ohio fans make a big deal of spring practice attendance. They think we are bandwagon fans because the spring practice attendance is so low. I don't give a damn about spring practice except for lack of injuries.
April 14th, 2014 at 10:27 AM ^
I haven't been back to ESPN since they shut down the UM forums. Direct access to TVH/Chantel used to be a great reason for going there. Now TVH isregional and there is no pull, whatsoever, to visit the site.

apparently he has lots of time on his hands to talk shit.

Looks like there is no passion for College Football at LSU either.
It's a shame. I'll bet they could have some really cool night games there if they cared.
April 14th, 2014 at 10:45 AM ^
Keep in mind most osu fans are named bubba and drive a pick-em-up-truck. What else are they gong to do on a Saturday afternoon?
April 14th, 2014 at 10:46 AM ^
on the list of things that worry Michigan fans. Braxton Miller's opinions about anything definitely do not.
April 14th, 2014 at 12:54 PM ^
didn't mean to copy your post, there. my apologies.
btw, +1 for that gif. FOREVER.
If only we had WON that game.
Same goes for the next meeting and how nice it would have been to slip Gov Kasich's "don't use the letter M" proclamation into the haha file with Terry Glenn. Just win. It would have been this, version 2.0:
April 14th, 2014 at 11:02 AM ^
we have clearly entered the dead season.
there are many, many things i worry about when it comes to michigan sports. things that are not on the list:
- spring game attendance
- attendance of any kind.
- what braxton miller thinks about michigan sports attendance.
- what braxton miller thinks about anything whatsoever.
April 14th, 2014 at 11:29 AM ^
Anyway, I'm guessing that trolling Michigan fans equals a four-credit course in Miller's Communications curriculum at Ohio. I say he gets an A.

is not in great shape.
but I'm curious as to whether the person who negged me believes we're in good shape or just has a sour pickle up his rectum.
latter.
April 14th, 2014 at 11:38 AM ^
When is the last time the spring game was actually a "game"? I've only been watching the spring game since 2011.
April 14th, 2014 at 12:58 PM ^
April 14th, 2014 at 11:42 AM ^
how many free gold pants they gave out at the ohio spring game?
April 14th, 2014 at 12:05 PM ^
15,000 people at a practice? That sounds like pretty good attendance for something that everyone on the Michigan staff said was just going to be a practice the weeks leading up to it. I'm sure if there was going to be an actual game then more people would show up. I can think of a few better things to do than go to a glorified practice.
April 14th, 2014 at 12:16 PM ^
from star Ohio players.
Humiliation can be a powerful motivator, as it was for UM back in 1969 with the "because we couldn't go for three!" crap.
April 14th, 2014 at 12:16 PM ^
I think what they've done with the spring "game" is silly and somewhat disrespectful to fans; Miller calling out UM for it, though, seems equally silly. How about he focuses on throwing the ball and reading defenses and UM will worry about filling its stands.
April 14th, 2014 at 12:27 PM ^
That being said, I'm not in any way shocked their attendance is better. Frankly, they just have a much better team to watch, not to mention OSU students can actually get somewhat involved in the spring game. We're coming off a meh season with little to no momentum in our corner.
April 14th, 2014 at 12:33 PM ^
The first step to fixing a problem is admitting you have one. Our spring game is a joke compared to many on TV, including Ohio State. We should have a full stadium...it should be electric. We need to make the necessary changes to make our spring game the best. I don't want to hear all the crap excuses like weather, depth, injuries etc...If you want to do it the best, get it done.

Your mother smells of elderberries! and I FART in your general direction.
If you dressed up a bunch of zoo animals in scarlet and gray and called it a Ohio State football event 25,000 would show up at the shoe just so they have something to talk about at the water cooler on Monday.
"Water cooler" would suggest that they have jobs....
