Completely the opposite.  OSU getting absolutely smacked is great for us.  OSU losing games and recruits means Michigan is winning more games and recruits.  I don't understand this obsession with how our conference as a whole is perceived.  It sure didn't matter tonight that the big ten was suposedly better regarded than the ACC.

In a world where the playing field is at least somewhat level you might have a point.  

Over the last two years where luck and crazyass ref calls have impacted games, and everyone can see it, it no longer means the same thing, to say that we want a conference win at all costs.

Apparently Bo had Delaney's number early on.  One of the many millions of ways Bo was right.

In a vacuum it is rational, but you are completely forgetting about recruiting. Having our arch rival humiliated on national TV can do nothing but help us in recruiting against them. If they make championship games we likely continue to lose recruits to them. Long story short, never ever root for Ohio State in any capacity ever, and if you do, you suck.

Nah fuck the conference, after that betrayal and rigging "the game", inviting rutgers and keeping pedo state, I want UM to leave the conference if anything. I'd root against fucking purdue right now. All of that 'conference pride' and perception by the committee all year doesn't mean jack when the refs fuck you over

Further if we're so worried about that, schedule teams like washington and clemson on the regular and *prove* we should be in there instead. Not one mediocre team a year like colorado, florida, notre dame. Then even losing to Ohio's 13 man team (2 extra ohio refs) won't matter

Yeah I've never seen any fan from any other Big Ten school pull for Michigan in a bowl game. No I usually hear "Big Ten all the way Baby" the week before the bowl games. During and after the game however it's usually "Fuck Michigan".

So fuck them also. Fuck them long, and fuck them hard. May they have nightmares from the experience. Oh and the Big Ten can go fuck itself also.

Atleast for a little while from a B1G perspective.

Anyone from the SEC chanting conference superiority is basically cheering for Alabama and that's it. Nobody else from that conference can hold a candle to Bama and yet they all enthusiastically feel superior by association. It's awkward to say the least.
