We've been doing this for how many months and the man still writes it "Co-Vid"?
December 21st, 2021 at 9:42 AM ^
Have to work in the Texas accent somehow. Twitter has its limitations.
December 21st, 2021 at 9:54 AM ^
Hard to make fun of Texas if you don’t know how to use apostrophes, Comrade.

Pretty enlightening some of the clowns that liked MarcusBrook's dumbass post.
December 21st, 2021 at 9:54 AM ^
Look my man. I don't care what you believe politically. Neither do 99.7% of the users on this here website.
There are umpteen places you can discuss covid or politics or fucking minute maid orange juice if you want.
This place is for Michigan athletics. Keep you personal feelings out of it
December 21st, 2021 at 12:19 PM ^
Minute made sucks. Orange tang forever!
December 21st, 2021 at 12:26 PM ^
Loved Tang as a kid. I remember getting the lunar rover toy attached to the container.

I will say I forgot how much I enjoyed a good screwdriver in the morning. It was my tailgate drink of choice prior to ass thrashing we gave OSU this year.
December 21st, 2021 at 2:08 PM ^
I am so glad McDonald’s brought back their Hi-C orange drink. That made totally forget about the virus thing.
December 21st, 2021 at 10:02 AM ^
I hope this is sarcasm...
Edit: Based on his comment below, it is not sarcasm
December 21st, 2021 at 10:27 AM ^
Yeah, I thumbs upped initially because it was obvious sarcasm, but then I realized who the poster was and had to alter my rating.
December 21st, 2021 at 10:30 AM ^
This person must be joking! There's no way they're this stupid!
I hope you learned a lesson about overestimating the dumbest among us ;)
December 21st, 2021 at 10:28 AM ^
Oh, fuck off.
December 21st, 2021 at 11:14 AM ^
You can fuck right off

I know, how hard is it to add the extra hyphens in Co-v-id-ni-ne-tee-n?
December 21st, 2021 at 10:49 AM ^
If you're going to hyphenate, shouldn't it technically be Co-Vi-D? If you're going to do it, then go all in.
December 21st, 2021 at 1:30 PM ^
I can handle a misplaced hyphen. What makes my balls hurt, is when I hear someone pronounce it "core vid". Where the hell is the "r" sound coming from?
December 21st, 2021 at 8:32 PM ^
I'm guessing the midwest, same place it comes from in 'warshing machine.'
December 21st, 2021 at 9:41 AM ^
I know at least for the playoffs it’s a near certainty that they would jimmy the dates and figure things out to accommodate those games getting played at some point. That said, if they don’t, we are definitely national champions!
December 21st, 2021 at 9:45 AM ^
Works for me. Nebraska used similar thinking in 1997.
December 21st, 2021 at 9:51 AM ^
Except they were actually #1 in the coaches poll & Vegas had them favored against UM for a would-be game.
December 21st, 2021 at 9:53 AM ^
Why would Vegas set a line on a hypothetical game?
December 21st, 2021 at 10:57 AM ^
There was no line set, but the Sagarin ratings indicated that N would be favored by 6 1/2
December 21st, 2021 at 12:49 PM ^
Hey Tunneler, this take pisses me the fuck off.
1st of all, if there was replay in '97, Nebraska loses the Missouri game.
Secondly, we had the #1 defense, we were the best or close to it against the run, people couldn't run on us, that's what Nebraska did on offense. They sure as hell weren't going to be able to pass against the best secondary and it wasn't close, we would have loaded the box.
Missouri scored over 40 points, we would have won that hypothetical game, IDGAF what the odds would have been.
December 21st, 2021 at 1:12 PM ^
Nebraska barely won coaches poll, two more first place votes as I recall and Big 12 had one more coach voting than Big Ten. If Big Ten had one more coach than Big 12 first place would have been even. I'm convinced a few coaches voted for Nebraska because Osborne announced his retirement. Baylor coach voted Nebraska because he said Nebraska had the better defense, but his team scored three TDs on Nebraska and three points on Michigan, so obviously he's full of shit.
Politics will impact voting in both AP and Coaches polls, but AP at least the voters have time to watch games.
December 21st, 2021 at 8:34 PM ^
You left out the Tennessee coach voting us 7th or something ridiculous like that because he was bitter Woodson won the Heisman over Manning.
December 21st, 2021 at 1:54 PM ^
This data has us listed 4th also behind Fla & Fla St that had 1 or 2 losses. Did I get that right? So this data is suspect, and your argument sucks.
December 21st, 2021 at 9:59 AM ^
Found Scott Frost's mom...
December 21st, 2021 at 12:16 PM ^
Only a Michigan fan would scurry to a keyboard to tell everyone how we werent the better team in a national championship season. So cutting edge.
December 21st, 2021 at 10:31 AM ^
#1 in the coaches poll ONLY because Tom Osbourne was retiring.
December 21st, 2021 at 10:37 AM ^
Because Fulmer was butthurt over his guy losing the Heisman and voted UM 4th in the poll. Just low enough to push Neb to #1.
December 21st, 2021 at 10:58 AM ^
and admittedly spent the night on the phone calling coaches lobbying for their votes.
December 21st, 2021 at 1:38 PM ^
All the lobbying Nebraska did to barely edge Michigan in the Coaches... I never took a statistics class but even the sample size of less than half of the coaches and the close final total would the coaches poll be essentially a tie? Especially if you remove any ballot that did not have Michigan and Nebraska in the top two a flawed dataset?
December 21st, 2021 at 10:37 AM ^
That coaches poll was a goodbye gift to Osborne. Look at how the #1 votes in the last three regular season polls went from 46-16, 58-4, 53.5-8.5 all in favor of UM to 32-30 Nebraska.
And Peyton playing that game on a bad knee was Tennessee's gift to Nebraska.

December 21st, 2021 at 10:39 AM ^
#1 in coaches happened because Osborne retired and several coaches flipped their votes as some sort of life time achievement honor. Also I believe one of the Michigan hater coaches put us 5th or some shit.

Penn state was favored too in happy valley back in 97.

Doesn't make sense. 1997 games against common opponents:
Michigan 27 - Colorado 3 (Michigan 426 yards - Colorado 224 yards)
Nebraska 27 - Colorado 24 (Nebraska 442 yards - Colorado 455 yards)
Michigan blew out Colorado by 21, Nebraska barely hung on by 3, and Colorado outgained Nebraska.
Michigan 38 - Baylor 3 (Michigan 534 yards - Baylor 154 yards).
Nebraska 49 - Baylor 21 (Nebraska 548 yards - Baylor 203 yards)
Both were blowouts, but Michigan won by 35 and Nebraska by 28. I'd argue Michigan's performance was much more impressive.
Also, Nebraska needed overtime to beat a five loss Missouri game, and the reason Missouri didn't win in regulation was because of the "Flea Kicker".
Why Las Vegas, or anyone, would have favored Nebraska over Michigan is beyond me.
December 21st, 2021 at 9:42 AM ^
Just shut down all of the bowl games and declare MICHIGAN National Champs.
December 21st, 2021 at 9:49 AM ^
screw that, let them PLAY!!!
enough of these BS shutdowns.
December 21st, 2021 at 11:11 AM ^
31 December will be a major Georgia shutdown and the Meeechigan band will be playing “The night the lights went out in Georgia”.

So is Norway the new Bolivia?
December 21st, 2021 at 9:48 AM ^
sad thing is they are being tested so often just looking for positives to push the narrative
I bet none of these kids is sick or at most have sniffles.
politics has ruined the world all so they can make themselves rich at our expense.

Part of stopping a pandemic is knowing who's infected and preventing them from giving it to other people. Shoving it under a rug helps no one.
December 21st, 2021 at 9:54 AM ^
How’s that working out?!
