For me:
1, Michigan football
2, Detroit Lions
3, Michigan basketball
4, Michigan hockey
5, Red Wings, Tigers, Pistons, any other UofM team.

Mine
- Michigan football CFP champions
- Michigan basketball NCAA champions
- Atlanta Braves World Series champions (done in '21 - let's also do '22)
- Atlanta Falcons Super Bowl
- Atlanta Hawks NBA champions
- Michigan baseball CWS
- Michigan softball WCWS
- Michigan volleyball NCAA champions
- Atlanta United MLS champions
- Michigan hockey (what can I say, I grew up in Georgia after the Flames left and before the Thrashers showed up, so I never really got into hockey; OTOH, I grew up playing baseball, soccer, and volleyball and watching football/basketball)
- All other Michigan sports
EDIT: Oh, right, the Twitter thing. I have a dusty twitter account. Last time I used it was probably in 2019 to complain to United about the ridiculous boarding lines at ORD which block the concourses. Back in the good 'ol days when I traveled for work every other week.
August 16th, 2022 at 4:06 PM ^
And we care because???
August 16th, 2022 at 4:09 PM ^
Not joining Twitter just to win a fan competition... or likely for any other reason.
August 16th, 2022 at 5:04 PM ^
Twitter has use if you just need really quick hit news bites, but its pros are vastly overshadowed by the cons that come with it.
Its a toxic wasteland that allows people to be the absolute worst version of themselves. Just like every other social media outlet.

What’s wrong with hiding behind an avatar and false name while screaming that someone is a loser?
August 17th, 2022 at 11:36 AM ^
There are some people who I do check on Twitter regularly - various writers for Michigan and the Lakers mostly - but other than that yes it's mostly awful.
One thing I have noticed lately is that Twitter only lets you see the twentyish most recent tweets of someone if you're just browsing on the web. I don't have a twitters, so I assume this is a relatively new thing to incentivize people to get Twitter to fully follow the 1% of useful accounts out there?
August 16th, 2022 at 4:09 PM ^
If we win, can fox show less commercials?
August 16th, 2022 at 4:40 PM ^
If winning this competition meant commercial free football for a quarter, I'd sign up everybody I know and their pets.
August 16th, 2022 at 4:12 PM ^
What a dumb post
August 16th, 2022 at 4:15 PM ^
These are usually pretty fun. I went through and made all my picks and apparently chose the less popular of the pair (at this point in the voting) for all but 2 or 3.
August 16th, 2022 at 4:50 PM ^
Just a few more weeks till the offseason is over, hang in there guys...
August 16th, 2022 at 5:06 PM ^
We’re currently down 58-42%. Let OkSt have this one. Might be the only time they beat UM in anything.
Better this than an actual competition.
August 16th, 2022 at 6:38 PM ^
Didn’t we have a hell of a NCAA Tournament game with OK State a few years back in the rd of 32? I thought this was an update on that somehow. Silly me.
August 17th, 2022 at 7:42 AM ^
I'm with you, that's why I clicked in here - to look at something related to the bball tourney game we had against OSU (NTOSU). It was a helluva game, 92-91 was the final score. But wasn't that a first round game, the tourney opener?
Had I known this was some twitter click bait bullshit, I wouldn't have come in. So now I'm off to neg the OP...
August 16th, 2022 at 7:19 PM ^
Considering I just voted for other teams also that just means anyone can vote against us. Pretty lame. So we can all just pick the biggest underdog and push them to victory only to laugh at this system.
August 16th, 2022 at 7:56 PM ^
Whatever. Twitter is a cesspool I stopped using years ago.
August 16th, 2022 at 9:21 PM ^
It was so much better in the early years with the underground stuff. They sold out
August 17th, 2022 at 9:33 AM ^
Maybe if Elon Musk can be forced to not renege on his deal to buy twitter, he'll make it a better place for all of us.

August 16th, 2022 at 9:20 PM ^
Wut.
August 16th, 2022 at 10:20 PM ^
Any fanbase competition in which Okie State can beat Michigan on pure numbers is so flawed it's not worth participating.
August 17th, 2022 at 1:12 AM ^
It's hard to think of something sports-related that's more useless or meaningless than online fan polls.
August 17th, 2022 at 9:29 AM ^
well that and about 80% of what comes out of paul finebaum's mouth.
August 17th, 2022 at 9:17 AM ^
twitter? i hear that 80% of the accounts are fake.
