People aren't talking about this enough. It bears repeating: Michigan is 15-0 National Champions after beating Alabama in the Rose Bowl and Washington in the title game.
Don't overlook that we beat OSU, for a third year in a row, and shut out MSU 49-0.
OSU has just 3 regulation wins against Michigan since 2015. When we play in November, it'll have been 5 full years since their most recent one. Not sure why anyone would pay attention to or take advice from fans of a team with so little success lately.
Maybe I can let this go now, but: That "titan" in 1997 -- Nebraska -- had to cheat, in overtime, to beat an unranked team, on the same day Michigan beat #2 Penn State on the road by four scores.
Brian, you were at the 2007 Rose Bowl! My seats were behind yours at midfield. The guy next to you had a Zoltan for Space Emperor (of space) shirt on. I told him I loved the shirt and most importantly, Got The Reference; this being 17 years ago, what were the odds of encountering someone in a shirt with an inside joke from a football blog? He pointed out that you were the proprietor and I introduced myself. We chatted briefly about Pete Carroll.
I was reflecting on that game and looking through photo memories, on both the luck that my family had access to wonderful seats, where my late stepfather got to take in the greatest setting in sports a couple years before he passed, and these years of your writing and the others who have followed have changed how I follow sports and feel things about them and bond with others who do the same. Now Michigan is 60 minutes from immortality. Go Blue.
Let's not forget about whining to the conference commissioner in order to oust the coach you can't beat, then losing to his interim replacement. Absolute loser shit.
Don't let the occasional kind word and lucid explanation of football distract you from the fact that Urban Meyer hired, protected, and enabled a serial abuser for years. Urban Meyer should not be on TV, and should not be a highly paid public figure. Fuck Urban Meyer.
On one hand: The song caught on during a loss to MSU; "he takes off her dress now" is an odd lyric to discuss with kids attending their first game; the greatest marching band in the country is right there, singing along, putting themselves out of a job.
On the other hand, I was at the 2021 B1G title game when the a cappella rendition absolutely took over the stadium. Goosebumps. Screw it, let it rip.
God, I hate it. Outlook has switched over to it several times now, always with the ability to revert, which I always do.
Here's my main nitpick: I heavily depend on folders, nested several levels deep. The indentation is way too shallow in New Outlook! It's much harder to tell at a glance and everything looks like it's in the same plane. Give me my visual hierarchy!
FuboTV maintains a rotating list of upcoming 4K games and The Game is on it. Just make sure the trial package includes 4K.
Anyone have thoughts on YouTube vs Fubo's 4K quality? Random People on Reddit say YouTubeTV is better image quality than FuboTV, but I trust random people on this corner of the internet more. (I know it's all upscaled from 1080p anyway.)
Lots of folks forgetting the "Michigan is no longer a blue blood" landscape shift that finally took hold after Wisconsin. And the smug chin-stroking of "hmm, yes, and who walks in the door after Harbaugh?" ignores that 0-5 vs OSU is 0-5 matter who is at the helm. I would rather be pleasantly surprised once in a while. Go Blue.
I won’t be able to catch the game and want to watch without knowing the outcome on Sunday. What will be the best way? NBC sports customer support said they are not offering replays on their apps.
No, a team that joined the conference in 1993 isn't nearly on this level. Again, you're couching everything in conditionals and what-ifs. "Clearly appeared to have the better team" does not matter as much as the Just Wait crew would like. This is the fourth time Harbaugh has lost to a rival in five games. That needs to sting more. It's a results-based charting service.
In January 2015, if we had said "would you say going 1-4 against MSU & OSU would be defined as underperforming," we would have first laughed uproariously at the possibility, and then said of course, absolutely, that is underperforming. Definitively underperforming. How would you measure underperforming, we'd ask? A really shitty record against rivals would be at the top of the Family Feud boards.
Yes, we should have won two of those. No, we did not. Those don't count the same. MSU fans say "we're 8-2 over the last decade" and we adjust our monocles and say "well, you idiots, you absolute tools, Mo Hurst is among the top tackles in the country according to PFF and we have moderate run blocking improvement! Just you wait!"
Sure, let's keep waiting while rivalry games - which NECESSARILY matter more and BY DEFINITION disproportionately define success vs struggle - pile up the Ls. Keep waiting! We'll throw out of the Pepcat formation soon!
It is not “dirt stupid” to be disproportionately upset that we can’t get it up for rivalries. Does OSU only worship Tressel because he won a MNC in 2002?
MSU bested the spread by double digits in their last 3 games vs Michigan, but let’s keep waiting patiently. We’re 4-17 vs. MSU & OSU since this year’s recruits started playing competitive football, so 5-16 wouldn’t have been much different, guys. Underperforming and getting outcoached in rivalries is in the DNA of the program now, but just hang on, guys. I’m sure we’ll pass out of the Pepcat formation soon.
Not this year, my sultry-voiced syphilitic friend. Though Prog certainly has its unique charms that we 31-year-old dads don't experience anymore, it would just take too much time away from my family on this brief trip.

OSU has just 3 regulation wins against Michigan since 2015. Embarrassing. Do they make little gold pants for offseason recruiting wins?
Meanwhile, Michigan just won the National Championship.
The fear was that someone would "download it to their video card."
And yet everyone involved has had very successful careers. QED.

I'll be honest: I like when those things happen.

Came here to nominate it as well. With an update to the Jordan brand maize. It is time. Here's the link.
"Reverse racism" is not a thing, but hopefully Head Coach Moore is. Do better. Go Blue.
Can someone summarize it? My browser is still running slow from all the National Championship merch tabs I have open.

This is correct. Take down the statue, and rename the hall.
Good to hear from you, Ace. Thanks for writing this.

Correct - https://www.mlive.com/wolverines/2017/10/michigan_students_sing_mr_brig.html
Yep: Really good dude who's been through hell in his personal life, a great QB, and will always be 0-2 vs Michigan. An ideal scenario, really.
(Well, almost. I'd rather OSU QBs have excellent upbringings in safe homes with all their needs met and be 0-4 vs Michigan)

C'mon, @umichfootball. It's "conqu'ring" heroes.
Worst underdog beating of all time? It wasn't even the worst underdog beating that *season*. That would be 41-point underdog Stanford beating USC!
What if you have a Roku Ultra (which has a USB port)?
A fella wiser’n myself once said:
Play. Fight. Win. Please.
It's actually not that complicated, you just choose a different term to use.

Time to not use that hashtag anymore. Thx!
Nah. Playing music for their fans to enjoy is the band's job. Of course it's obnoxious to you!
They should absolutely not be deferential to a DJ.
Last week there was a YouTube link - any chance of that again?
None of this changes that Don Brown's defense surrendered 55 points.
We'll throw out of the Pepcat formation eventually! You'll see!
Sure, Jan.

To answer that first question, yes, I saw the 2015 MSU game.
"There is one thing left. Play. Fight. Win. Please."
I’d be interested in this too. Getting home around midnight EST

OK, but Hoke's teams hung 40+ points against OSU twice, and were the world's most-agreed-upon 2 point conversion away from .500.

Signing in for the first time in forever just to nod approvingly at the recaps of dancing saga and how seriously I took its removal.

As fast as Chesson? Breaston wasn't even as fast as Tyler Ecker, according to Tyler Ecker!
