Delicious Schadenfreude: Michigan National Championship Edition
We really needs a dedicated schadenfreude thread- I'll start:
Rent-free schadenfreude: 11 Warriors and RCMB are littered with angry butt-hurt, obsessive jealousy, desperate excuse-making, predictable denial, and deliciously sweet tears. Drink it in!:

I would argue that the "best burger in Ohio" thread is also about us. Maybe they want Day to buy a burger for a recruit and get suspended for it?

RCMB: RIP College Football
wahhhhhhh

I can’t tell you how great it is to live in Ohio right now. It’s not always great here, but it is now. Because it’s been schadenfreude every damn day for three years running—and now THIS, too? Oh, I’m gonna enjoy the everlovin’ shit outta this. 😎
January 9th, 2024 at 9:28 AM ^
Please do...for all of us!!!

I live in A2, but every chance I have to travel into Ohio, I plan out my wardrobe to wear my most obnoxious Michigan Gear and just revel in the glory of it all. The OSU fans can only gnash their teeth and have nothing to say, while I get plenty of "Go Blue's" from fellow Michigan sojourners. It's just awesome.
January 9th, 2024 at 1:56 PM ^
You and me both! I moved to Columbus last summer and the timing couldn't be any better after the events of last night!

Sparty has a UM "sign-stealing, cheating scandal, NCAA investigation" - lol - thread with 30k responses and 2.3M views...?
Er. Mah. Gerd.

“Anyone else struggling with a loss of excitement in sports due to recent cheating”
I enjoy how all OSU fans are suddenly this generations greatest philosophers after Tressel blatantly cheated and lied to the NCAA for years in order to beat Michigan. We’re not talking about an analyst. We’re talking about the head coach and most of the roster. So spare me Buckeyes. Its pathetic
January 9th, 2024 at 4:59 PM ^
May they wallow in their hopelessness to beat us as long as we did.
January 9th, 2024 at 9:24 AM ^
Gotta love it!!!
January 9th, 2024 at 9:27 AM ^
Hahahaha...GLORIOUS! Eat it Bucknuts and Sharty!!!

Thoughts and prayers to the OSU and MSU faithful who had to suffer yet another loss by their favorite teams 2 weeks in a row.
OSU fans in particular have got to be beside themselves; they just had a fantastic group of recruits leave with nothing to show for it while UM just won a national title. With MSU they don't "really" care about football but OSU just saw themselves lose a 100m race after being spotted a 25m head start.
January 9th, 2024 at 10:40 AM ^
More like a 75m head start, am I right?
January 9th, 2024 at 9:32 AM ^
On a work call yesterday, after dealing with a couple of OSU fans telling me for 5+ minutes that the wins would be vacated, UM cheated, yadda yadda, one of them said 'well, I'll be rooting for you tonight just like I hope you root for us in the National Championship next year.'
No pause - my response: 'oh, are you dropping to I-AA?'
January 9th, 2024 at 9:34 AM ^
Who are these people?
January 9th, 2024 at 9:42 AM ^
All they have is hate.
January 9th, 2024 at 9:43 AM ^
Not exactly schadenfreude, but interesting tidbit from CBS Sports:
"Michigan is just the sixth team to go 15-0 or better and the first Big Ten team to win 15 games in a season since the 1899 Chicago Maroons, who played several high schools and a team named "Physicians & Surgeons," among others."
Awesome!!
January 9th, 2024 at 9:47 AM ^
Now it's Michigan who surgically sliced and diced every team they played on the way to a perfect season. The circle is complete!
January 9th, 2024 at 9:44 AM ^
The absolute insane amount of copium on Twitter right now is delicious. Washington, OSU, and MSU fans all going CSI to find a few missed holding calls as if Washington wasn't doing the same thing. People acting like this win will be vacated. People acting like UGA was still the best team this year. People acting as if they weren't doubting and discrediting us the whole season.
Genuinely, fuck the haters

Just looked at 11W. I'm genuinely puzzled that 99% of the posters are claiming that this season has an asterisk for Michigan. Yes, there's a selection bias for insanity, but I figured at least a reasonable number of people would be fans of the sport, appreciate what the team did, and be a bit more even handed. I guess asking too much.
January 9th, 2024 at 9:48 AM ^
11W commentators are a bit more magnanimous when their team wins. Right now they are largely still in the denial stage when it comes to their team's performance.
January 9th, 2024 at 9:46 AM ^
no thanks - I'm good.
😎
January 9th, 2024 at 9:55 AM ^
"Pout here if you're not watching the game." Am I reading that right? The print is a little small.
January 9th, 2024 at 10:01 AM ^
I actually don't find it funny, I find it frustrating how many non-OSU fans have bought into their narrative, but whatever, I guess I'll just have to console myself with reality.
January 9th, 2024 at 10:11 AM ^
Love the M Arrows
January 9th, 2024 at 10:37 AM ^
Oh the sweet, sweet tears. LOL
January 9th, 2024 at 10:38 AM ^
Let them wallow in misery. I hope it hurts and I hope it hurts bad.
Let them scream CHEATERS, VACATE THEIR SEASON, NUKE THEIR PROGRAM as loud as they want. They're the only ones saying it now, because everyone else now sees the same thing Michigan has been saying since this whole thing came out. Stallions was not the reason they won.
Nobody else cares anymore.
January 9th, 2024 at 11:01 AM ^
"So this entire season was for nothing?" OSU fans are so used to just being handed things they can't process this lmao
January 9th, 2024 at 12:49 PM ^
The internet in general and social media in particular are flypaper for morons.
January 9th, 2024 at 1:43 PM ^
"Anybody else struggling with a loss of excitement in sports due to.... the only thing that makes our life worth living going against us 3 years in a row?" That would be a thread title more reflective of the reality for many 11W posters.
"College football has descended into anarchy" - Yes, MSU's former football coach was caught jerking off on a Zoom call with a rape survivor in early 2022, and the university sat on the info for nearly a year before taking action against him.
I am friends w/ quite a few cool OSU fans and a few MSU fans but these posters on those sites are the dregs of humanity.
January 9th, 2024 at 3:09 PM ^
I would not be surprised if "Best Burger in Ohio and Elsewhere Since We Know About Pizzas" is a combo burger-gate/pizza-gate thread. Knowing that fanbase. Should've marked that one also.
