Muppets?

Submitted by FrankMurphy on
A win over Ohio State (particularly a top 10 and conference-leading Ohio State), is Muppet-worthy, no?

Disagree, wrong sport.

Maaaaaaybe if hockey finishes a sweep against ND you could justify both. But this is just a "big win," not the key rivalry in the sport (which was a victory and did both merit and receive muppets).  Michigan is good enough to win games like this semi-regularly. 

My opinion only.

I agree that Ohio State is not the main rival in basketball. But given that football wins over Ohio State are currently a once-in-a-blue-moon affair (hoping that this changes soon, no emo), I contend that the current circumstances mandate that a basketball win over a good Ohio State team be treated as a Muppet-worthy event.

Tbh I think if you have to ask then it’s not muppets. Muppets to me is a lot like pornography; I maybe can’t perfectly define it, but I know it when i see it

Senior day. Big win over a Top Ten team that happens to be OSU. Austin Hatch demonstrating yet again what it means to be a Michigan Man. Definitely Muppets!

Nah. Michigan was a 3 point favorite in Vegas (which I still prefer to KenPom, but that's another thread), UM played at home, and OSU only had 1 game better record than UM.  Both teams now have the same total record.

 

That's not a muppets.  Save the muppets for the truly special occassions.

I guess Brian doesn't think this is deserving of them (He did predict Michigan by 1 as Kenpom did in the preview).

I disagree with him though, I hope the Muppets are cued as deserved before the day is done! We beat OSU!
