META: I got a 502 error during the height of the Meyer announcement and the site reverted to a cached version.
Is this hamster wheel related? Are we in for some hard times during the season?
August 22nd, 2018 at 10:58 PM ^
Exactly - this whole site went backwards
August 22nd, 2018 at 9:46 PM ^
Amen.
Just watched the press conference. Shame on OSU.
August 22nd, 2018 at 10:09 PM ^
That press conference was terrible. Meyer had a completely flat affect throughout the whole thing. No remorse at all, and his message to Courtney Smith was incredibly pathetic.
August 22nd, 2018 at 10:32 PM ^
it would seem all the leaks I read about online were correct. "I trust in the President's decision." Tone deaf response to the Courtney Smith question. Urban's pissed that he has to take a suspension at all. And I bet he did threaten to sue Gene Smith.
what a megalomaniac.
the Michigan sucks chant as Urban was leaving by the fan base was classy as well. Should validate on a national level the quality of lowlifes that exist in that God forsaken state.
Hoping ESPN publishes a national poll showing state-by-state whether or not Urban should be fired.
August 22nd, 2018 at 11:46 PM ^
Ohio as a state should just be sold to Canada or something. The state is worthless and honestly has way too much importance on the national level for sports, politics and economics for how minuscule and washed up it is.
August 23rd, 2018 at 2:26 PM ^
Canada wouldn't take them. Too much damage to undo. Maybe one of the Central Asian 'stans will have them...
August 22nd, 2018 at 9:47 PM ^
I'm so glad we're not them.
August 22nd, 2018 at 9:48 PM ^
Go blue! Proud to be a wolverine.
August 22nd, 2018 at 9:50 PM ^
Are they now the Ohio St Blackeyes?
They will not be able to shake this image from not firing him.
August 22nd, 2018 at 9:54 PM ^
Yet another Gameday sign idea.
August 22nd, 2018 at 10:21 PM ^
Fire Urban Meyer
Deliberate Liar
August 22nd, 2018 at 10:37 PM ^
Please, no more Urban Meyer. It's Urban Liar from now on.
August 22nd, 2018 at 10:08 PM ^
The Fightin’ Ball Lifters.
August 22nd, 2018 at 9:50 PM ^
Osu leadership is remarkably underwhelming. Could they find less intelligent, scrupulous, and articulate leaders? Football reigns over truth in Columbus.
August 22nd, 2018 at 9:52 PM ^
Problem is we don't win.
August 22nd, 2018 at 9:55 PM ^
Except for the whole leading the sport in wins and win percentage thing.
August 22nd, 2018 at 9:58 PM ^
Most B1G championship, most wins, highest winning percentage, large head to head lead vs osu, more national championships, need we go on?
Mark your calendars for football justice on November 24.
August 22nd, 2018 at 10:11 PM ^
Do you honestly give a damn about that stat given the recent history?
August 22nd, 2018 at 10:14 PM ^
Absolutely!
August 22nd, 2018 at 10:15 PM ^
Yeah. Unlike you and many other of those types, I see things beyond arbitrary timelines set by people with agendas.
August 22nd, 2018 at 10:27 PM ^
We haven't done anything in over a decade. No conference title in almost 15 years. We are ND without the BCS title appearance.
August 22nd, 2018 at 10:34 PM ^
we don't start games second quarter.
August 22nd, 2018 at 11:13 PM ^
“I see things beyond arbitrary timelines set by people with agendas.”
?
?
can definitely see where those 127k points came from. Wow.
August 22nd, 2018 at 10:21 PM ^
You’re right. We should forget about the 84 tigers and pretty much all of gordie howe’s career given the fact the wings have missed the playoffs.
August 22nd, 2018 at 10:48 PM ^
You're right, I do care to an extent. But I think these threads are dumb. We lose on the field so we claim moral superiority. That doesn't do much for me.
August 22nd, 2018 at 10:50 PM ^
yes!!!!!! i care and so should you. really how old are you? i ask because whenever i hear comments like that, i always wonder how you can disregard history so easily. i have lived through many ups and downs, and none of them last.
5 years , 10 years, 20 years. hell i don't know how long this will last. but i can tell you it will turn around. i get it, if you are only 20 years old this is all you know. for instance. from 1950-1969 michigan only won 4 games against msu. but in the 40 years before diantonio won his first michigan game msu only won 8 games in the series. perspective is just as important as recent results.
August 22nd, 2018 at 11:17 PM ^
What insight dude! Congrats on making the case that you should flip allegiance and root for THE Ohio State Blackeyes.
The point is we do win. Google Harbaugh's speech in "Jim Harbaugh Loves Michigan, maybe then you will understand what winning is.
Maybe I'm just an old fart, but it isn't about only wins on Saturday. That's EXACTLY why we bash those assholes in Colombus. Michigan has had it's own "scandals", but we own them, try to fix the issue and move forward with class.
Don't get me wrong, I'm a homer too. I love when Michigan wins on the field, but I'm much prouder of the UNIVERSITY than just the football team.
August 23rd, 2018 at 10:18 AM ^
You just made this Maize and Blue heart of mine swell with pride!
August 22nd, 2018 at 9:53 PM ^
Exactly.
What price do you put on your personal integrity?
Jim Tressel has to be thinking to himself "WTF?!"
Twitter is lit up right now with negative responses. It's probably not going to stop for a while.
August 22nd, 2018 at 9:53 PM ^
Fuck Ohio!!
Go Blue!!
August 22nd, 2018 at 9:53 PM ^
Michael Drake makes me look like Zach Morris
August 22nd, 2018 at 9:55 PM ^
I’m lost. Zack Morris was a weasel. Are you a righteous bastard and Drake makes you look better?
August 22nd, 2018 at 10:04 PM ^
Sorry AC Slater
August 22nd, 2018 at 9:58 PM ^
Meyer and osu are getting roasted everywhere in all forms of media - appropriately, I might add.
August 22nd, 2018 at 10:01 PM ^
Good. I hope it develops into a health issue for him.
August 22nd, 2018 at 10:01 PM ^
I'm just gonna say that I like to think our university and athletic department are squeeky clean, playsby the rules and uphold the Michigan Man mantra, but there is just no way of knowing for sure. We as fans need to realize that and know that situations like these can happen anywhere. So lets not be too cocky
August 22nd, 2018 at 10:05 PM ^
Michigan has had its share of controversy and scandal, but I'm supremely confident that this sort of thing doesn't happen at UM. Not just because of the school, but also because of the difference between the states of Michigan and Ohio, the cities of Ann Arbor and Columbus...
They poop in coolers, for God's sake...
August 22nd, 2018 at 10:12 PM ^
We have had NCAA violations but what sets us apart from everyone else is how we police the situations.
Fired Bud Middaugh who was putting Michigan Baseball in the World Series and winning the B1G yearly.
Fired Steve Fisher and replaced him with someone who had no connection to what went on with basketball. Taking down banners, self imposing postseason bans.
August 22nd, 2018 at 10:36 PM ^
It's worse than that. Why is it that most fans travel via car rental to columbus for the game that have Ohio plates?
August 22nd, 2018 at 10:02 PM ^
I’m finally in favor of leaving the B1G. Enough of this crap with the schools in this conference choosing wins over what’s right.
Also, it IS great to be a Michigan Wolverine!
August 22nd, 2018 at 10:02 PM ^
Thank goodness for Pres Schlissel and the leadership at UM. There is a basic reason why UM is an elite institution.
Today, OSU just placed itself into the horde of schools that have no identity bigger than their teams. Pathetic choice by their admin and truly shameful in light of the DV circumstances & repeated ethical failings by Meyer.
August 22nd, 2018 at 10:06 PM ^
Let’s see how much the love Urban when Shea isn’t throwing Interception punts to their wide open db this year and they take a loss.
August 22nd, 2018 at 10:07 PM ^
Extremely well said
August 22nd, 2018 at 10:37 PM ^
what's pathetic is that John Kasich was weighing in. Football is paramount in Ohio. this was proven today and OSU deserves every bit of the backlash. Validates what we knew for decades.
August 22nd, 2018 at 10:08 PM ^
I mean, Michigan hasn't been perfect, but it's never done anything like this.
August 22nd, 2018 at 10:13 PM ^
to quote our favorite football coach: Do not be deceived: God cannot be mocked. A man reaps what he sows.
so okay ohio, roaring like a righteous lion. gosh, so much respect for this decision...the other shoe has not dropped.
i will be genuinely curious to see what exactly they found, and what they used to justify this suspension.
August 22nd, 2018 at 10:15 PM ^
Michigan hasn't been a perfect little angel through the years, but our program has certainly never done THIS, whatever the hell that was that Ohio State put on throughout the day and then ended with a surreal, often disgusting presser.
August 22nd, 2018 at 10:40 PM ^
Coach Moeller was picked up for public intoxication. . . gone.
Coach Smith gets a DUI. . .a routine Tuesday in Columbus.
