Anonymous B1G players speak on Michigan

Submitted by Wee-Bey Brice on

I know ESPN or another outlet routinely does one of these every preseason but Zach Shaw from 247 surveyed some opposing players about M:

“We won more games last year, we won more games the year before that and we won more games the year before that. That’s all I’m going to say and to be honest I think that’s all I need to say.”

There's a 127% chance this is an MSU guy.

Not all responses lacked respect, though: 

“What they did last year proved that they deserved this recognition, being in the top five and whatnot. And when we went against them they beat us, and beat us bad. I’m excited for the game and I’m excited to go back to Ann Arbor, one of my greatest football memories was going to Ann Arbor and beating them. But that’s a very, very different Michigan team than what they have now.”

“They fought their hearts out on every play, and I think that’s one thing you can always say about Michigan — that it’ll be a dogfight every time.”

For me, this is the highest compliment an opposing player could pay.  I'm afraid this sentiment was lacking before Harbaugh arrived. 

Here's hoping this is what all opposing players feel by the end of the season.

That first comment could have been from either MSU or OSU.  Pretty safe to say neither of them like us much.  Feel free not to become so obsessed with little brother to lose sight of the team we truly care about beating.

I wouldn't go so far as to say I'd like to lose to either.  Let's just keep our eye on the prize.  Focusing on MSU's disrespekt complex does little save indulge in the occasional shadenfreud.  If I had to measure UM against another football program in the B1G, it'd be OSU hands down, not State.

The second one is Maryland. We played them at home two years ago apparently and kicked their ass last year.

Beat MSU.
Beat the dogshit out of MSU.
No matter what. It's time to put those cocky little bitchz back in their place.
They managed to climb to the top at our weakest moments.
They'll need to stay on the juice to hang with Harbaugh's teams that's all I can say.

Beating MSU will not shut them up. Michigan wins were never by enough points - they'd point out some notion about hanging around with us, or that we didn't appear dominant.  And if it wasn't for that holding call and that fumble and that lucky interception they would have won.
