Michigan coaches against osu

Submitted by goblue85 on March 7th, 2020 at 10:48 PM

Looks like arico joining harbaugh and Juwan can’t beat Ohio state when it matters.   The fact this school doesn’t take winning game is just embarrassing.    I don’t see us winning this rivalry until anything changes.    I expect the hockey to blow it next week too be ready.

Couldnt be that they lost their starting forward for the season 17 games in who was averaging 12 ppg prior to the acl injury? Nope, it has to be superior OSU coaching in every sport. 

Oh, and Livers didnt play in the first game against OSU where Wymer helped them escape at the end in the "jersey rip-gate" game.

Nothing has compelled me to create a username just to comment on a rival board, so sad!

I was at the games in Indianapolis watching the games.  Michigan women repped the university very well.  These women played very hard and if you know anything about basketball, a few misses here and there makes a difference.  Our dribble drive defense was lacking but we could have won the game just as well as OSU.  Three games in three days.  You try it and tell me how it works for you.

Isn't OP the poster who started the Fire Bakich thread?

ETA: Yes. I checked. Here's the thread he started.

OP, it would've been better if you had started a Fire Kim Barnes Arico thread given your penchant for reverse mojo.

 

/ That said, I agree that our coaches are struggling to beat OSU in the 4 major US sports (i.e. football, basketball, hockey, baseball).

- Harbaugh is 0-5 in 5 seasons.

- Howard is 0-2 in his rookie season.

- Mel Pearson is 3-10. (Woah.)

Year 1: 0-5 (WTF)
Year 2: 2-2
Year 3: 1-3

- Even Bakich, who is now very popular after last year's runner-up finish, is a combined 5-10 against Ohio State.

2013: No games (WTF)
2014: 2-1
2015: No games (WTF)
2016: 0-4
2017: 2-1
2018: 0-1
2019: 1-3

Notwithstanding the OP who is obviously trolling, our performance against OSU of late in all major sports is a bit troubling.  0-5 in football, 0-2 in men's BB, 5-10 in baseball and 3-10 in hockey is more Northwestern/Rutgers-ish than it is Michigan IMO.

Each game in each sport has a story and an "explanation" but at the end of the day 8-27 is pretty damn crappy.  

I wish the OP had phrased the post in a manner to encourage discussion, not a flame war, because the topic does bear some thought as to why this is happening.

As the noted philosopher Bill Parcells once said "you are what your record says you are."

Counterpoint: Who cares about an aggregate record of select sports against an arbitrarily selected conference opponent who is a blood rival in exactly one sport (or more accurately, was)?

Understood that you live in Ohio and it’s closer to home for you. Overall I don’t understand why we’re giving a crap what our women’s bball does vs OSU anymore than vs Iowa.

Totally agree on women's basketball which is why I didn't include it in the aggregation.

And also agree that living here makes these results a bit more painful in that I have to hear about it constantly.

But you have to admit it does suck.  WD is in this thread-id be interested in knowing what this stretch of futility looks like historically.

Actually, I would be curious to know whether OP trolls the teams of other universities, as well.

Come on, goblue85, do not be modest. Share with us the devastating insights you have contributed on the wider stage. Maybe even outside sports?
