Wow, that is all I can say.
For a team that we've only played 3 times, they really hate us and pretty much everyone north of the Mason Dixon. They think we're pricks, elitist, and that they're following the rules as far as oversigining goes.
Well, enjoy!

They are this strange enclave
They are this strange enclave of American society known as "college football fans."
Not that I loved Rich Rod less, but that I loved Michigan more.
Yep, its part of college
Yep, its part of college football. I actually liked Boise and really respect Peterson, but until the game clock hits 0:00 Friday night, I hate them.
At which point you'll really
At which point you'll really hate them.
Of course.

Indeed
You understand why SEC teams refuse to travel north. The last time they played in Big Ten country was near Gettysburg, PA, and it didn't go well. SEC speed or not, their line really didn't stand up well, especially when they tried to make a late-game charge.

Funny you should mention it
You're not rubbing salt in the wound are you? ...seeing how it was Michigan cavalry that burned the University of Alabama down at the end of the Civil War.
Is this something Michigan is
Is this something Michigan is supposed to be proud of - burning a college when a war is basically over? Why not toss is the fire-bombing of Dresden? There must have been some Michiganders on those planes.

My wife and I met a couple from Birmingham on our honeymoon and we are still friends today. They are diehard Bama fans and are probably the coolest people we've met. Every fan base has them - including Michigan.
Welp, gonna go die in a fire.

Those were some...pretty awful talking points on why to hate Michigan. At least our fans don't tea bag passed out rival fans, douche.

exactly
Yes, Michigan fans are elitist because they root for the winningest CFB program in the history of the sport, just as mgoblog is elitist because posters here typically know how to utilize basic grammatical rules, such as the difference between then and than and when to add an apostrophe in the word its.
In such cases, I’m fine with others calling me elitist.
Agreed
If I weren't me, I'd call me elitist too.
Downvoted
This kind of stuff just is flamebait, not really news.
Just sayin'
Coach Hoke once told me that a moral victory is still a (expletive deleted) loss.
Wow, that missed extra point
I read just one comment from the guy who wrote the longest response - the guy who said we're in the top 10 for elitist pricks. That was enough for me.
But I especially love the comment he made about our program being on a downward spiral and how we don't belong on the same field as them and then bringing up our past bowl losses.
I would have loved to hear what this guy had to say the 7 years leading up to Nick Saban's arrival when Bama's biggest accomplishments were 2 trips to the Independence Bowl.
Go Blue! Always!
Hell, I'd like to hear him explain
how they belonged on the field against Utah, or even LSU last year. Okie State would whip that ass.
You are drunk
If you think OK State would have beaten Alabama last year.
Relative recent success
Relative recent success aside, I don't mind being called arrogant.
We are, after all, the leaders and best. We should embrace our arrogrance since we are rightfully better than the peons that look up to us. /s /butnotreally
Seriously, though: we're the only fanbase that would wear this shirt with the correct use of alum/alumnus/alumna/alumni/alumnae:

Is there an alumna shirt?
The only problem with that shirt is that women can't wear it. That is why I prefer this one:
Where can I find that?
That shirt is awesome (referring to the alumnus one, not the maize one, though the maize one is cool too), I totally want to buy that. I'll be in Ann Arbor this weekend, is it on sale at a particular store?

Brian has been highly critical of Alabama's roster practices (oversigning, St. Saban's memorial hospital for the dubiously injured, etc.) and RBR and 'Bama fans in general haz ANGAR about it.

Join the club. Alabama has won two of the last three national titles, but when it comes to the big picture they have "little brother" syndrome when it comes to Michigan. What is it about Michigan that brings out the "best" in opposing fanbases.

Eh, the guy needed some clicks so he refrenced Mgoblog. Must be tough trying to get Alabama fans to put down the new edition of Auto Trader and sign up for this internet thing they keep hearing about.

Now folks, you cannot both
Now folks, you cannot both boast about the Civil War (as some have done in this thread) and tell the South to secede. You fought the Civil War to keep them from leaving the Union. If we are going to diss the logic of others let think things through ourselves...
"Football is happening at Michigan... we have that savoir faire." Dhani Jones
I really don't get this. I
I really don't get this. I didn't fight in the civil war. That shit happened in the 1860s. Get over it. My family came to this country in the 50s. The Civil War is one of the darkest parts of our nation's history.. Why relive it?
Why can't southerners let it go? My GF is from Atlanta, and I get called a Yankee more often than I care to when I'm down there. (as if it's a bad thing too.)
Touchdown Michigan!
Actually, this comment
Actually, this comment thread is filled with boasts about the North's victory in the Civil War, so I don't know who you are referring to as needing to let it go. All I'm saying is how irrational it is to boast about winning that war, the point of which was to deny the South the right to leave, and then to say they should leave the country. Moreover, when Northerners boast about raping and burning the South, don't be surprised that people whose family is in the South aren't happy about it, since those things were done to their ancestors. (I was not raised in the South, btw. I just think that if we're going to gloat over Southern stupidity, we ought not be moronic ourselves. Sorry to ruin the group-think, but I am a Michigan grad.)
"Football is happening at Michigan... we have that savoir faire." Dhani Jones
I'll tell you what. I can
I'll tell you what. I can only speak anecdotally, but any time the civil war has come up, it's been by folks from the South.
Now in all, the majority of folks i've met and have gotten to know, are amazing, compassionate, welcoming people. And I'll agree, responding to this discussion calling southerners uneducated and backwards is equally silly. But, In my very expansive experience (last 5 years) I've gotten a lot of flak for being "from the north". My family hails from Puerto Rico. My grandfather was a farmer who came to the US in the 50s... 1950s. The Civil War seems to come up every day in the South... whereas growing up in NYC, I'd say we're pretty much over it....
Touchdown Michigan!

I'm sorry, Alabama-Huntsville doesn't qualify. That shit is a joke. Them playing hockey would be like me trying to make moonshine, it'd be based solely on stereotypes and, in the end, I'd probably end up killing myself via blunt force trauma to the head.
