In my office they have speakers that produce white noise. Is that weird?!

I have the same thing at my office. It makes me sleepy.

For those that don't want to watch the video:
1. Michigan
2. Ohio St.
3. Florida
4. State
5. UCLA

Whoever made this list hasn't seen Michigan or Florida play football recently.
November 11th, 2014 at 5:44 PM ^
The list isn't "in 2014." But you can't deny that both schools have had lots of success at both sports over their time.
November 11th, 2014 at 9:30 PM ^
This list doesn't appear to value national championships all that highly, especially post-WWII.
November 11th, 2014 at 5:43 PM ^
Basketball is really pulling their weight.
November 11th, 2014 at 5:43 PM ^
Are they basing this purely off revenue? or results + revenue ... so confused...
November 11th, 2014 at 5:44 PM ^
The video doesn't mention revenue. It seems to emphasize all-time success.
November 11th, 2014 at 6:52 PM ^
November 11th, 2014 at 5:45 PM ^
Are you sure it isn't Basketball / Swimming?
November 11th, 2014 at 6:14 PM ^
November 11th, 2014 at 5:47 PM ^
Did Arizona/Wisconsin/many others give up forfeit their basketball seasons?
November 11th, 2014 at 5:49 PM ^
Again, this is an "all-time" list, not just 2014. Neither of those schools stack up to Michigan all time in either sport, really. Maybe Arizona in basketball only.

All things considered, the past seven years of suck are a blip on the radar of Michigan Football. You continue to show yourself.
November 11th, 2014 at 6:25 PM ^
To be fair, people the age of WD and me havent really seen UM football be that great. I remember Braylonfest, Vince Young rose bowl, disspaointing 2005, amazing 2006 and then really mediocre football ever since.
November 11th, 2014 at 6:36 PM ^
That's sort of my point. Talking out of school, actin' a fool.
November 11th, 2014 at 6:57 PM ^
But that doesn't mean you don't know what happened before then. Did you know the Fab Five existed? Because that was before your time too. Did you know that Martin Luther King or the Beatles existed?
This whole "I'm young so I think Michigan football has always sucked" is such a lame excuse.
November 11th, 2014 at 7:09 PM ^
You continue to follow me around and whine and cry about almost every post I make. This football program is a joke now. Has been for quite some time. Argue that. Please.
I know what Michigan Football was. I've watched a few old games or two and have sort of looked over the results/figures/historical info 105 times when making a 1,200 page guide devoted to the program.
But guess what? I'm sick of looking back and citing historical figures to make myself feel better. I'm pissed with the way things are and will continue to voice it until something is done to change the direction of it.
November 11th, 2014 at 7:13 PM ^
I will easily argue that.
Stop whining and moaning. We all are down about the football team based on our expectations, but you over-state the fact because you are immature.
A joke? You didn't say "had some bad years" or haven't lived up to expectations. You said it has been a joke and has been for "quite some time."
Absolutely not true. a .500 record is a "joke"? Disappointing, yes? Laughingstock bad? Nope. How about a solid 2012 team and a Sugar Bowl win four years ago? Has it been a "joke" for quite some time.
You want to demand excellence, but you come off looking like an ill-informed child.

You really are insane. I read the damn blog, thus I see your inane posts. I can only take so many of them before I call you out on it. You ooze immaturity with near every word you write, yet you're so certain of yourself (until you're not, see your AD position flip). I'm mostly mocking you now, because of your "I'm back, but I won't be the same poster" thing. Same old Wolverine Devoteh.
November 11th, 2014 at 7:34 PM ^
I won't deny that I'm insane. Have always been.
If you compare my posting as of late to where it was before I said that......I wasn't really joking. I've got a job and classes that occupy a lot of my time. I come on here whenever I can because I enjoy it..
November 11th, 2014 at 10:20 PM ^
may you always live up to it.

It's hard to disagree with this list. The only schools that have historically had clearly better basketball programs (Duke, UNC, Kansas, maybe Arizona and UConn) have not had much football success at any point in their history. Similarly, many of the other football blue bloods (Alabama, ND, USC, Oklahoma, Nebraska) have had very little basketball success, if any.
November 11th, 2014 at 5:56 PM ^
All have five or more NCAA championships. Clearly better basketball programs than U of M...historically speaking.
November 11th, 2014 at 6:50 PM ^
But that proves my point. UCLA was on the list, which is why I included them, and UK and IU fit the bill of the others I mentioned - great basketball, but awful football. My list wasn't supposed to be exaustive, just an example.
November 11th, 2014 at 5:58 PM ^
I don't recall MSU being a particularly prestigious football program before, say, 2010.
November 11th, 2014 at 6:03 PM ^
They were a top-10 program for most of the fifties and sixties.
November 11th, 2014 at 6:29 PM ^
they also include the 70's, 80's and 90's.
So if they are #4, I am not surprised this has us at #1.
November 11th, 2014 at 9:10 PM ^
and several other schools who had a prominent decade way back in the day. MSU is very good now, but historically they've been good in the 50's, 60's, 2010's, and that's about it

Nebraska has been good at basketball (and not crazy good, they barely made the tourney) for exactly one year. And every other school on that list outside of OSU doesn't begin to touch us in terms of football outside of the last decade or so (or in Duke's case, just the last 2 years).
November 11th, 2014 at 6:07 PM ^
Translation: Michigan ranked #1 Basketball School!!! WOOO!!!
November 11th, 2014 at 6:09 PM ^
haha! Was about to post this. This is great! Somebody sees the true Michigan haha! http://www.ncaa.com/video/football/2014-11-11/high-five-best-football-and-basketball-schools

Basketball bails MICH out again.
November 11th, 2014 at 6:31 PM ^
but you do realize football "bailed" them out for years and years...
Hopefully soon we can have both programs awesome at the same time again!
