Mahmoud Ahmadinejad chimes in on Michigan football
Do we want his support? Not sure. But I don't see any ex-world leaders tweeting about Sparty...

Some History buff will know the answer, but please tell me the Persians or Iranians defeated the Spartans like 1,000 years ago or whatever.

It was the Persians. The Iranians are Persians. It was more like 2500 years ago (depending if we are talking Darius or Xerxes), and the contemporary Muslim-Iranian culture is fundamentally different from the Ancient Persian culture.
And FYI, to the best of our knowledge, the Persians did not have giants, monsters, or super-elephants as part of their army.

No, it was a pack of rabid Wolverines. Ambushed them in a field 100 yards long and tore them apart.

I’m still not used to being on this side of the looking glass.

Have we announced that the next spring football trip is to Iran, yet?
October 16th, 2018 at 3:40 PM ^
Given our recent record against Sharty, we can use all the support we can get -- from 'Moody and especially from Allah.

So will they be burning couches in Iraq when Sparty loses?
October 16th, 2018 at 4:40 PM ^
No, you dont want his support.
You know this guy is a Holocaust Denier and doesn't think gays exist in Iran right?

When Voltaire (I think) was on his death bed and being given his last rites, he was asked to renounce Satan. He replied, “Now isn’t the time to be making enemies, father.”
Rivalry week.

Now I’ve seen everything.
October 16th, 2018 at 8:21 PM ^
Hmmm.....so, Iran for the 2020 Spring Break trip, right?!?
October 16th, 2018 at 8:24 PM ^
Given our luck over the past few years, we cannot afford to leave any stone unturned....

I suppose it’s possible he has an assistant who runs his Twitter account & is a Michigan alum.

I don't think Allah really cares about Michigan football the way we do.
October 16th, 2018 at 9:30 PM ^
But does God?
