Maybe he read some of the shit we say about him here. It's not like we have been very nice to him. If he did read and obviously doesn't have an account, he would never see the "negs" that people who call him "Cowturd," etc get. So, if I was Colin Cowherd and my attention was called to a thread about me, I would probably not have a very good opinion of the Michigan fanbase. If I happened to be petty and vindictive, I would have a perfect target.
Another factor: running Rich Rod out of town. Since Rich Rod got Arizona into a NYD bowl this year, the national narrative is starting to shift from the old, tired, "Rich Rod wasn't a good fit in Ann Arbor" to "Rich Rod is a good coach, but Michigan didn't give him a chance to prove it."
Sadly, we are paying for David Brandon's sins. Hopefully, Jim Harbaugh comes in and repairs the damage Brandon did to the program.

He is pretty widely hated and the largest section of his Wikipedia page is devoted to "Criticism." That includes such gems as:
"Using un-attributed material: In March 2006, Cowherd was criticized for using a joke on his show that was posted on the "M Zone", a University of Michigan fan blog without crediting it."
"Cowherd was criticized for comments made regarding the circumstances surrounding Sean Taylor's death. On November 28, 2007, one day after Taylor's home invasion murder, Cowherd claimed that Taylor's past had brought this upon himself, and that Redskins fans who mourned him were not "grown ups"'.
Please troll the hell out of this chickenshit hack's Twitter.

Only thing you get from a cow-herd is a lot of shit...

I listened to that @$$hole today. Yesterday was the symphony music playing as he taunted the U of M with the aristocracy B.S. Dicknugget is a good description.
December 19th, 2014 at 10:02 PM ^
Summary: ESPN reporters suck, he somehow found out that we've been talking shit about them because they suck, so his insecure ass decided to whine about it.

THe nice thing is I don't listen to this guy anymore.

He was acting like a teenage girl. I couldn't believe how he was conducting himself. I think if JH does come he will just say "I was kidding" or "I knew the whole time I did it for ratings"

Give him the Drew Sharp treatment.

Probably asking him why he never revealed who his "mystery candidate" was.

He slobbers over himself for Urban Meyer, so he could see this as a threat to him. He could be trying to rile up UM fans for attention and ratings. He could just be a jackass. All of these could be reasons.
December 19th, 2014 at 10:06 PM ^
Never heard of him.

absolutely no comparison - DP is the gold standard of sports radio. Great guests, great supporting cast.
Cowherd's a miserable little shithead who, if sports radio never existed, would be one of those back-stabbing, self-congratulatory lower-tier managers that everyone hates, and cheers when he's walked out of the building by HR 5 days before Christmas.

Most of his disdain goes back to a bit he stole from the original Mzone about the wunderlic test. It is my understanding that he took a bit, used it on air without credit or citation to Mzone. The guys over there tried to get him to at least give them credit. He would not and in fact acted like the total douche that he is. Things ran up the chain to the ESPN ombudsman. Colin eventually gave credit. I'm guessing he was reprimanded by ESPN brass behind the scenes and has harbored resentment toward the M fanbase ever since.

There was a guy I had worked with for about a year before I mentioned that I had gone to Michigan. He was shocked and said, "Usually the first thing people who went to Michigan tell you about themselves is that they went to Michigan." So yeah, I could see that being the case.

Ha, it just got deleted as a board topic, but my guess is thosewhostay7 on twitter is ace williams
December 19th, 2014 at 10:28 PM ^
The credibility of thosewhostay7 is uncertain but he has not been outed as a hack yet. Brian believes the guy may be legit and it was likely our Dear Leader himself who deleted your thread.
Also Ace Williams was known for being a raving lunatic and thosewhostay7's twitter timeline suggests he's pretty temperate

He fired one at Maize N Brew Drew Hallett. Doesnt seem like a normal kid who knows someone.

I was listening to Bill Simmons' inteview with Larry David this morning and found this exchange "interesting":
During a recent B.S. Report, Bill Simmons didn’t just curb his enthusiasm for a fellow ESPN-er. He brought that sentiment to a screeching halt.
Or so thinks Colin Cowherd, hilariously, commenting this morning to his viewers and listeners “how jealous” Simmons sounded when guest Larry David revealed that he likes to watch ESPN “studio shows” while working out. When Simmons asked which ones, the funnyman replied: “I love Colin…”
Once David confirmed he was talking about Cowherd, there were two full seconds of stunned silence at the Simmons end. Followed by a puzzled, “Interesting?!”

He works for ESPN. So, there you go. There are some people out there that believe that ESPN stands for Extremely Stupid People Network. And then there are others that believe it stands for Narcissistic Bastard Children. Oh wait, that's NBC. I'm lost. What were we talking about?
