We Are The Defending National Champions of CFB !
Still over the moon. Sometimes it just hits me out of nowhere, and I need to rev up the youtube on the interwebs and watch the highlights.
Look at us! Who would have thought. After all the suffering, hand wringing, in-fighting, humiliation, down years - how sweet it is.
3 straight against some of the most talented/stacked OSU teams in modern history
3 straight B1G titles
3 straight playoffs
2023 National Champions
What a time to be alive!

40-3, 3-0 vs. Ohio, 2-1* vs. Sparty (* for the ref-induced 37-33 loss), 3-0 vs Frames (+2 in Happy Valley), 3-0 all-time in B1G title game, 22-game home winning streak, 25 game B1G winning streak (counting the title games).
Time for a brew!
February 26th, 2024 at 8:38 AM ^
I hit the thumbs up upvote button like three times. That excited bout all these accomplishments.
February 26th, 2024 at 5:30 PM ^
If the sparty L gets an * then it's also 40-3*
amirite?!
February 25th, 2024 at 9:01 PM ^
Hail yea we are!
A former Blackhawk got the game winning goal against a former Red Wing for the Red Wings to beat the Blackhawks BTW
February 25th, 2024 at 9:02 PM ^
The Yzerplan is coming to fruition.
February 25th, 2024 at 9:17 PM ^
Man, that game was rough till Debrincat scores a brilliant goal and Kane is just insane with his puck handling.
I'm loving this Red Wings group!
LGRW!!!
Also Go Blue, we are the champions and as long as the defense stays intact, we'll be a helluva team in 2024!
February 25th, 2024 at 9:43 PM ^
Am I crazy to talk up the Tigers? Winning a very winnable central is a reasonable expectation. I like their young players.
Wolverines, Red Wings, Lions, Tigers. Anyone missing?
February 25th, 2024 at 9:56 PM ^
Nope. No one missing 😉
February 26th, 2024 at 8:22 AM ^
No, I think we're running on all cylinders now.
February 25th, 2024 at 9:31 PM ^
..on the night they retired Cheli's number. Funny guy shouting out Dennis Rodman ( another DET/CHI "trade")
February 25th, 2024 at 9:46 PM ^
They also played a tribute video of Kane’s days in Chicago - just before puck drop. Then he has to go and ruin the vibe with the OT game winner!
February 26th, 2024 at 2:53 PM ^
On the same night the Blackhawks hung the jersey of a former Red Wing. Go figure.
February 25th, 2024 at 9:01 PM ^
Still feels great! Can’t wait for Spring Game.
February 25th, 2024 at 9:44 PM ^
Ah, the good old days of that other sport, which was sacrificed to make the past three glorious years of football possible.
February 25th, 2024 at 9:09 PM ^
HAIL YEAH!!!!
February 25th, 2024 at 9:11 PM ^
For at least the next 9-10 months, come what may, it will come back to this somehow, yes.
I can live with that knowledge, I think.
February 25th, 2024 at 9:25 PM ^
Yes sir! Still am "over the moon" as well.
Just ordered some more NC gear (and ugly NC socks!) and the Jordan M Coach's golf shirt tonight at fanatics.com (MDen still out of stock). You can google "Fanatics discount codes" and play around get additional 20% off and 2 day shipping thrown in.
Gymnastics, Hockey, Lacrosse, Water Polo all look like they can makes some noise in March.

Our most recent home game against every single Big Ten team? A win
Our most recent road game against every single Big Ten team? A win (READ THAT AGAIN, THAT IS INSANE)
Thank God they're adding some new blood so we can have some new challenges. Haven't won in Seattle in 54 years, have never won in Eugene, haven't won in LA in nearly 70 years, and haven't won a game at the Rose Bowl in nearly two months!
February 25th, 2024 at 10:04 PM ^
Haven't won in LA in nearly 70 years
Ahh, tricky. Pasadena is not LA :)
Michigan has won it's last two games at the Coliseum.
- A 26-9 win vs UCLA in 1972 (the 89 regular season win was in Pasadena)
- A 16-6 win vs USC in 1957

Ah the Coliseum. What shithole stadium in one of the shittiest areas of LA. That’ll be fun
February 26th, 2024 at 8:32 AM ^
Your LA knowledge could use a slight update.
February 26th, 2024 at 8:30 AM ^
Lost the last home game to Wisconsin.
February 25th, 2024 at 9:46 PM ^
It’s loads of fun to go back and watch the pregame shows like game day and big noon kickoff before The Game and penn st.
for the season all time fave moment might be the juxtaposition of C Woodson’s pure joy and ecstasy in his fist pump right next to the smugness taken straight off Urban’s face in the background with a scowl on his face when Rod Moore sealed the Game.
right after Milroe stopped, of course.
what a hell of a ride.
February 25th, 2024 at 9:58 PM ^
I am so fucking happy still. This is joy.
February 25th, 2024 at 10:13 PM ^
Looking good, Billy Ray!
February 25th, 2024 at 10:14 PM ^
Feeling good, Louis!
February 25th, 2024 at 10:34 PM ^
Hail yes!
It never gets old and still brings a tear of joy in my eye.
Go blue
February 25th, 2024 at 10:35 PM ^
There's been 1000 of these reminder threads already...
...and I'm going to upvote every single one of them. Keep 'em coming!
February 26th, 2024 at 10:12 AM ^
This was just posted a few weeks ago!...
And to that I say what are we doing here? We need to be having this thread weekly at minimum. 3x Big Ten champs, 3x Buckeye humblings, 3x CFP appearances, and national champs.
February 25th, 2024 at 10:56 PM ^
Still flying high.....come what may, I don't care.
February 25th, 2024 at 11:04 PM ^
First time able to wear my newly arrived National Champion gear here in Columbus. Even got a nice Go Blue. Still feels great.
February 25th, 2024 at 11:45 PM ^
Because we beat OSU Tom Emanski-style...
Back to back to back...
February 25th, 2024 at 11:35 PM ^
Weird. News like that usually gets posted on MGoBlog right away. Probably should have tacked on a "SIAP."
February 25th, 2024 at 11:49 PM ^
Crazy stat: Ryan Day is such an amazing coach that in five years, he has only lost three B1G games. ONLY THREE.
He's 40-3 in the B1G. That's a hell of a record. Again, only THREE B1G losses. Not sure why Ohio State fans are calling for his head.
/s
February 26th, 2024 at 3:11 AM ^
What games has Day won that he wasn’t supposed to? Maybe they were an underdog vs. Clemson in 2019 (Urban’s team with Justin Fields)? Other than that, I’m counting four upset losses (Oregon, Michigan twice, Missouri) and two losses as underdogs (Michigan 2023 and Georgia) with no upset wins. The dictionary definition of doing the bare minimum with what you have
February 26th, 2024 at 7:27 AM ^
That's basically what was said about Harbaugh in his first 4-5 years. Lots of wins, but few wins in the "big" category: rivalry and/or upsets.
February 26th, 2024 at 8:35 AM ^
Bare minimum indeed. Only Alabama and Georgia have stacked decks of cards like OSU. They've accomplished more than Day has.
February 26th, 2024 at 7:23 AM ^
Only three? I wonder to whom? Guess I'll have to hire a PI to get that info!
February 26th, 2024 at 10:46 AM ^
They played one bad half though.
February 26th, 2024 at 1:21 PM ^
The other 2.5 halves were worse.
February 25th, 2024 at 11:52 PM ^
Something good happened to me last night, and my response to my happiness was to pull up the Rose Bowl goal line stand and the Rod Moore INT against OSU. Pure joy
February 26th, 2024 at 2:57 AM ^
To steal an advertising punchline… “Pure Michigan”.
February 26th, 2024 at 6:23 AM ^
Right now we're the reigning champs.
In September we become the defending champs.
February 26th, 2024 at 6:45 AM ^
My tingly sensation comes from re-watching Blake Corum. Jeez, what a ball player. His like will not come around again for some time.
February 26th, 2024 at 8:11 AM ^
It's never going to get old
