Co Division Champs - To raise a banner or not?
Curious what your opinions are regarding raising a banner per Jack Harbaugh's recent comments.
I am generally not someone who would even consider this but I was doing some research and the concept of being co-champions was much more common than I thought or could ever remember.
26 of our 42 claimed Conference championships are technically co-championship claims. 8 of Bo Schembechler's 13 are co-championship claims.
16 of Ohio State's 37 Big Ten championships are technically co-championship claims.
What do you all think of this?
PS- Another interesting piece of data I came across was the number of ties that have happened in Football. It is way more common in history than people realize. I remember when the whole Donovan McNabb situation went down and that felt like the first Tie I could remember in Football and now it happens "much more often", or so I thought. Older generations like to take their shots at Millenials regarding the ties with the whole everyone gets a trophy comments but I'm finding in my quick research that way more people were making claims and getting trophies back in the day than they do now. Just an observation of mine, take it as what you will.

The era of conference championships, with defined tiebreakers, has made the notion of claiming shared division titles completely obsolete.

No. No. No. you got smoked. It’s not the 1970’s anymore. It’s one thing if Jack believes that, it’s another thing to say it. Jack should not have said that.

Take pride in raising a division co champion banner!!! /s
nice trolling.
I’ll nominate this for a top 10 worst post ever (and that’s saying something)

Yes. Hang the banner.
The fact that this program and a majority of fans think they are above hanging a co-division champion banner is exactly what is wrong with this bloated, arrogant, overrated program.
For once, it would be nice to see U-M football take a page from the basketball team and take more of an underdog mindset.

The op mentions conference championships, this would be a shared division championship. They are different.

Sure we should why not. We should also give participation trophies to all the players.
