Two fun facts
First one I came up with myself. Second one I heard on BTN this morning.
1-Michigan’s margin of victory yesterday was more than the combined margin of victory in the five other B1G games. 49-39.
2-None of Michigan’s opponents have taken an offensive snap inside the Michigan ten yard line. In eight games, no “goal-to-go’s”!!
Life is good. GO BLUE!!

3rd fun fact: Slippery Rock is also undefeated, sitting at 8-0 with 3 games to play.
October 22nd, 2023 at 1:52 PM ^
The stars and planets (wandering stars) are in alignment.
October 22nd, 2023 at 2:32 PM ^
Fun fact #4 ‐ both Harbaugh brothers go into their halftime up 28 - 0 this weekend.
October 22nd, 2023 at 2:46 PM ^
And both should have been 35-0.
October 22nd, 2023 at 3:01 PM ^
They are now.
October 22nd, 2023 at 2:58 PM ^
That fact is not so fun.
October 22nd, 2023 at 3:02 PM ^
Mike MacDonald would disagree with you.
October 22nd, 2023 at 3:12 PM ^
Mike McDonald says "what a fool believes..."
October 22nd, 2023 at 2:42 PM ^
Rich coming from a guy who had his own snowflake post requesting changes on a weekly snowflake post game thread.
October 22nd, 2023 at 2:51 PM ^
good afternoon sunshine. hey, you ever going to have the guts to share all your prior banned mgoaccounts, or are you just too cowardly for that?
also, the general consensus was exactly what LSA has done, less threads, less time at the top.
seriously though, come on, spill the beans, list all your prior banned accounts. please.
October 22nd, 2023 at 3:03 PM ^
Come on now you’re obviously the one that’s bitter for no reason.
October 22nd, 2023 at 3:04 PM ^
I have offered peace to that coward repeatedly. He’s also the one who will continually start something where there was no contact or commentary between us. You are very similar. Congrats.
October 22nd, 2023 at 3:49 PM ^
Just gonna ask the obvious question... Has anyone seen WrestlingCoach and Gobgoblue in the same room together? Makes you wonder...
October 22nd, 2023 at 5:22 PM ^
Just a poster with an opinion and a single account, actually I will finally reveal my old username. It was RollDamnTide…you guys got me…damnit….
October 22nd, 2023 at 5:23 PM ^
You had to check at the exact same time as me didn’t you
October 22nd, 2023 at 5:23 PM ^
Yes and he kicked the shit out of me. Pinned me in 5 seconds
October 22nd, 2023 at 5:26 PM ^
I just find you self righteous and annoying. Always starting shit then claiming everyone else is ganging up on you for it. Which you just did twice in a row above. You’re our resident poster of I’m Not Mad, Actually.
October 23rd, 2023 at 10:26 AM ^
Like ExxonMobil complaining someone didn’t sort their recyclables correctly.
October 22nd, 2023 at 2:01 PM ^
Just as long as none of the “fun facts” have to do with the country of Austria!
Otherwise, you’ll be apologizing.
October 22nd, 2023 at 2:36 PM ^
incredibly ripe for someone to re-write the 'steiners attack' scene with hitler into a comedy about sparty last night.

October 22nd, 2023 at 2:24 PM ^
That part!
October 22nd, 2023 at 2:48 PM ^
Wait, so they think our D wouldn’t have won in OT?
October 22nd, 2023 at 2:59 PM ^
MSU didn't even come remotely close to scoring. No missed FG, no red zone, barely passed midfield all game. All they had was a pretty good punter.
October 22nd, 2023 at 3:54 PM ^
They are called Punter U.
Or at least should be.
October 22nd, 2023 at 3:16 PM ^
So impressive.
October 22nd, 2023 at 3:19 PM ^
Michigan has now won its last home and away game against every Big Ten opponent.
October 22nd, 2023 at 3:27 PM ^
That is an awesome stat and we are very close but unfortunately we lost our last home game against Wisconsin 49-11. Last time we beat Wisconsin at Home was in 2018.
October 22nd, 2023 at 4:35 PM ^
Dangit, you're right. Forgot about the Badgers.
(Although the Covid "season" was bogus.)
October 22nd, 2023 at 3:37 PM ^
Unfortunately, last time they played Wisconsin @ home was a loss (2020).
UM will need to keep winning until 2025 to clear the slate.
October 22nd, 2023 at 3:57 PM ^
The turnaround over the last 3 years is remarkable. Entering the 2021 season, Michigan's last road win at:
- Penn State was 2015 (2 game losing streak)
- Iowa was 2005 (4 game losing streak)
- Wisconsin was 2001 (5 game losing streak)
- Ohio State was 2000 (9 game losing streak)
- Nebraska was never (0-1-1 all time)
All of those have been flipped.

Not football related but this is a fun fact:
But strangely, the praying mantis has just a single ear,
located on the underside of its belly, just forward of its hind legs.
Yeah I know has nothing to do with anything.
October 22nd, 2023 at 3:55 PM ^
Wait, so cutting its head off doesn't make any changes to its hearing?
October 22nd, 2023 at 4:16 PM ^
It might lead to that
October 22nd, 2023 at 5:25 PM ^
And that's not the really notable part! The female usually/often eats the male after sex. (It assures her nutritional needs for reproduction.)
The extremely notable fact is that due to the nature of their anatomy, the female often first eats the male's head -- AND THE MALE CAN CONTINUE THE SEX ACT AFTER HIS HEAD HAS BEEN EATEN!!!!!!!!
(You may ask why I know this? Because once you know it - you can't forget it!)
October 22nd, 2023 at 7:55 PM ^
Sounds similar to what happened to Mel.
October 22nd, 2023 at 9:13 PM ^
We’ve identified the ritual killer…
October 22nd, 2023 at 4:16 PM ^
yikes, those bugs are ear-y
October 22nd, 2023 at 10:46 PM ^
So, she literally bites your head off, and you still have to listen to her complaining about what's wrong with you, what you have/are/will done/doing/do wrong...
There's a reason to hope against reincarnation.
October 23rd, 2023 at 2:14 AM ^
Mantises are also very talented musicians.
October 22nd, 2023 at 3:40 PM ^
From today's ESPN Bowl Projections:
Michigan is only the third team in the AP Pol era to score at least 325 points and allow fewer than 50 through eight games, joining the 1972 Nebraska and 1993 Florida State squads.
October 23rd, 2023 at 12:07 AM ^
So you mean we already meet Brian Ferentz’s contract minimum of 325 pts? Gee too bad for him he doesnt coach here.
October 22nd, 2023 at 4:00 PM ^
We actually have faced one defensive snap inside the 10, but we used that one snap to get a TFL back to the 12. The drive ended outside the 10, but can't remember if it was a FG or turnover on downs. I think it was Minnesota, but can't remember, they brought it up in the broadcast.
October 22nd, 2023 at 4:18 PM ^
See I thought so. I remember I was disappointed MN was there on the field
October 22nd, 2023 at 4:24 PM ^
I think that 1 play was part of a series that started outside the 10, and thus was not a goal to go situation.
October 22nd, 2023 at 4:31 PM ^
It was Indiana, and it was at the 10, rather than inside it, and it wasn't goal-to-go:
1st & 10 at MICH 14
(12:19 - 1st) Christian Turner run for 4 yds to the MICH 102nd & 6 at MICH 10
(12:19 - 1st) Christian Turner run for a loss of 1 yard to the MICH 113rd & 7 at MICH 11
(12:19 - 1st) Indiana Penalty, False Start (-5 Yards) to the MICH 163rd & 12 at MICH 16
(6:35 - 1st) Tayven Jackson pass intercepted
