Shitty Michigan Fans

Submitted by bouje on
I'm sick of this shit. I'm sick of these so-called "fans" who give up on teams who can only see the "trees but not the forest". (website redacted so that he doesn't get the hits but it's a blog about tailgating Michigan style.) My friend (for some unknown reason) reads this rag and I just want to call this guy out. Was this written by a Spartan? Honestly if you're so "sick of this shit" leave. Forget about Michigan sports. We don't need you but frankly it's people like you that are not helping out the situation. In sum: You can't polish a turd and you sir are the turd.

these idiots writing for Dpress etc. I was out in Philly on Sat night (a horrible sports town) and had on my Michigan jacket. I had atleast 12 people say Go Blue to me and a bunch more say something about Michigan. We still mean something to a lot of people and I don't think a few down years has destroyed us in anyway. When this thing in football gets turn around and we win with Rod you damn well know that you are going to sit there at the stadium or in front of a TV when we win the Big 10 and not say a word for about 30 seconds and just smile. I don't care about what the Freep Press says or ESPN or Buckeyes or Spartans or anyone at this point because when we kick their butts I'm going full force on them all! lol We all have taken a lot of shots over the past 3 years and I feel that anyone who is a Michigan Alumni or fan is family to me. If I see someone with anything Michigan on I make it a point to say Go Blue to them and you know if they are a Michigan fan you can have a good conversation with them. ;)

People will always feel like someone owes them something. Just ignore them, they are never happy and in general suck at life.

People who get worked up because someone else isn't as good of a fan as they want them to be probably say more about themselves with that attitude than the other person.

let's pretend that someone wrote a blog post about how the Michigan Marching Band was a turd and how you can't polish it. How would that make you feel bando no matter how your feelings are toward the instructors/directors. Because if I was an athlete I'd be pretty pissed off.

Sit back and watch some piece of shit tear into Michigan programs like he's a Sparty fan. When my friend sent me that piece he didn't say where it was from. I assumed that it was from a Spartan after the victory. When I found it was from a "Michigan fan" I lost it.

So we're supposed to sit back and let people tear into their own fanbase? Listen, this may be hard to believe, but there is always going to be dissent within a fanbase. This doesn't mean people are "shitty fans." This whole "You're either ALL IN! or to hell with you!" mindset not only doesn't make sense, it's also a completely ridiculous way to calm the waters. And if you really believe the quote in your sig, you'd see that.

But if you honestly believe that calling Michigan programs "polishing a turd" is constructive criticism then I can't help you. I know that you hate the new regime but I'd hope that even your thick-headedness could see that calling the programs turds is unacceptable. I'm done, I don't agree.

After years of beating the crap out of other teams in both basketball and football, we were due for a lull. Next season the teams that have been beating us in football will get theirs. 2010 will be a breakthrough year for Rod and I think basketball will be just fine in the long run. I don't know many coaches that could overcome the facilities deficit Michigan has had for years now.

Completely agree. Who would rather be in the long run from right now going forward... 1) Michigan State, with two straight wins over Michigan. 2) Michigan, with two straight losses to Michigan State. Regardless of the last two years, we'll be back in a BCS bowl before MSU.
