Which comes first: Michigan national title or Lions Super Bowl?

Michigan winning the NC will happen first because I could see it happening in the next few years while the Lions are so far away. 

yes. .. 

Kicking someone else in the nuts before Michigan wins a National Championship.

Didn't the Mayans predict a Super Bowl appearance for the Lions this year?

Michigan has a stronger foundation for success in the next few years, but one can see dramatic changes fairly quickly in NFL teams. As it stands now, I see better signs of progress at Michigan. The Lions are underachieving.

I would say Michigan winning the national championship.  Crazy things happen in college football, and while crazy things can occur in the NFL, Michigan has more pieces in place to make it happen before the Lions do.

with the way michigan is recruiting, it will be putting itself into consistent national title contention for the foreseeable future. detroit will never win a super bowl as long as the fords own the team. they have shown nothing but utter incompetence, and the elite playmakers they do get (megatron, barry sanders, suh to a certain degree) are not enough to overcome the rest of the team's shortcomings. the fords can't effectively run that team. they've shown extremely poor ownership spanning several decades. why would it stop now?

Michigan will win 2 Nattys before the Lions win a Super Bowl.  And this is coming from a die-hard Lions fan. ...

to award points for taking a knee inside your own five on a free kick, then the Lions are golden!

Have you watched or are aware of the LIONS HISTORY FOR THE LAST 50 YEARS?

Ever since the dumb ass Fords bought them practically, while in that time U-M has been contending for 'Ships just about that whole time and having only half a one is a damn shame in that time period, many squads were worthy for us but had bad luck here or there or Bo was too conservative.

Answer is M

Should be "which one comes at all?"

which Michigan national championship comes first, basketball or football?

I'll go with basketball.

element in going for a Super Bowl--a quarterback. That is something that every Lions team since Layne left has not had.They also have an All-World WR, a good # in Broyles, solid tight ends, and two solid backs. The OL needs some fresh blood and they do need a RB with some speed to complement Leshoure and Bell as well as a WR to replace Young.

The Lions do have the beginnings of a good team, but the problem is that they don't have a defense. They also are poorly disciplined which isn't helping their cause any.

Michigan is building on defense and on the line. UM's problem is that they don't have elite talent at RB and WR. Michigan really needs at least one at either of those positions in order to win a NT.

Michigan is probably closer right now, but in the NFL you can get better much quicker than in college. If the Lions add some playmakers on defense and another on offense, I could see them making a serious run assuming that Stafford makes the expected improvement over the offseason.

Michigan is probablt a year away from making a run with the lack of explosive skills players holding them back.

What kind of question is that? 

than do the Ford-owned Lions getting to the Super Bowl.

Michian probably has a better shot, but what do I know?  25 years ago I probably would have told you Michigan would win a lot more than a half of a national championship in the next 25 years.

How much longer will Borges be OC.

No way we get a title with that fat retard calling plays.

The Lions have a better shot and here is why.  In the draft all things are equal.  At some point the blind squirrel that is Ford senior will stumble into a good GM and coach. Though UM has the brand to recruit well, SEC teams and USC will always be able to recruit better.  Though there is more varience in any college game it is really hard to beat a team that as a significant talent advantage.  That all said I think UM has a better chance of getting to a NC game then the Lions getting to the SB.  It is just they will be like ND and face planted by Alabama.

Gotta get that hoops Natty.

Are Aliens landing on Earth? Nope, so Michigan football. 

and said that he would have no problem getting ice and a blender for frozen margueritas in hell, which he informed would occur before the lions would be in a super bowl.   Michigan on the other hand could make it backto the NC game in the next few years.

The lions too much cheating in cfb and nfl teams can turn it around in a year. And the lions do have talent.

The best managed teams win Superbowls. With the ownership staying the same I don't see the Lions ever being better than losing in the first round of the playoff. I'd like to say Michigan winning the NC will occur sooner but without greyshirting it'll be a challenge.

The lions have as much of a chance at winning the super bowl as a one legged man in an ass kicking contest. As for Michigan, when Al Borges leaves, Michigan will have a shot.

1. Michigan wins MNC

2.  Fossil fuels are depleted

3.  Lions win Super Bowl

Booooooooo!!!!!!

As several others have noted here, there's almost chance of the Lions doing anything great while the Fords own the team. Their micromanagement of affairs might be the single most amazingly underreported sports story in the history of this state. They must have nasty pictures of all the Detroit sportswriters.

Things that have a greater likelihood of happening than the Lions winning the Super Bowl while the Ford family owns the team:

1) Ndamukong Suh winning Sportsman of the Year every single year from here on out until he retires

2) The Patriots winning the next five Super Bowls after firing Bill Belichick and hiring Ron Zook 

3) Eastern Michigan running the table and winning the national championship next season

4) The LA Clippers going 82-0

5) Brian Kelly winning a humanitarian of the year award

6) Ryan Leaf coming out of retirement and breaking every major passing record

7) The Big East winning the next five national championships

8) Ohio State committing no major or secondary NCAA violations for the next 20 years

9) Hell freezing over and thawing out (repeatedly)

10) Grandpa Simpson recognizing Missourah

MNC for UM definitely first

Considering the previous Natty in football for you guys was 50 years previous to 97, I would say the Lions, since Ford will be long gone in 35 years.
