Talk about OSU broadcasters as long as DaDaDesmond Howard remains on the air. He has the lowest literacy of anyone on tv in any capacity, this includes locally produced commercials. Worse is he doesn't even have the respect of his own colleagues as to his options do to his child like fandom. This, coupled with the inability to speak a complete sentence, definitely makes him the most embarrassing figure on tv. I'm pretty sure that if not for affirmative action laws he would be slinging rocks on the streets of Detroit. Any probably fukin that up too.

Much because like Desmond Howard the folks at ESPN are still trying to teach him how to speak English and speak a proper sentence. My guess in a few years we will see more of Woodson. It took ESPN about 4 years to get Howard familiar with the English language, so will probably be similar with Woodson. Also anyone who says Howard is anything except a affirmative action hire is as crazy as crazy Jim. I'm very surprised that Michigan Admin. has not demanded that ESPN remove him from the air because he undermines the idea that UM is a academic institution every time he opens his mouth. Example of Howard speaking: " dheys be a good team, eyes pick Michigan to win da national champship, dhey have player, he good, dhey have new coach, he good too, me dink dhey win it all dis year" I wish I was joking...but that is your boy.

It wasn't 10 years.

It was 2008, 2009 and 2010, in 2007 we went 9-4 while decimated with injuries and still beat Florida in a bowl game in their state sandwiched by National Championship seasons for that program. 

In 2011 we won a BCS game and went 11-2, the next year we went 8-5 and the combined records of the 5 teams we lost to was something like 57-9 and had Denard not gotten hurt, we would have beaten at least Nebraska.

2013 and 2014 were subpar for sure and on a downward trend. But it wasn't 10 years, it was 5 years out of 7, I'm tired of this 10 year shit.

2015 we went 10-3 and again beat Florida in their state in one of the 5 largest margins of victory for us in a bowl game in our history and the future looks damn bright.

The Buckeyes are 13-2 against us since 2001. 

The Spartans are 7-1 against us since 2008. 

 

It might as well be 10 god damn years. 

 

MSU has gotten so much popularity of late that the Michigan-MSU rivalry has its own Wikipedia page because it's THAT relevant now nationally! 

 

 

Welp.

but things run in cycles and their cycle was fortuitous in that we struggled for a good bit of those years.

But I wasn't making the point about our rivals, I was saying that it wasn't 10 years of bottom feeder football like some people try to make it as.

Spielman is one of the only Buckeyes I respect period. Watching him play for the lions you could always tell this was a guy who lived and breathed football with the white hot intensity of a thousand suns but the second he found out his wife was battling cancer he hung them up to be with his family. That's a man with his priorities straight and I have respected him ever since. The excellent, unbiased broadcasting is just a bonus

Butch is a good coach. I once heard chatter that because of his Michigan connections he'd be a great hire for M. I didn't disagree then.

Harbaugh.

(If there was any argument to be had, that one word decides it. But if I could add one, it'd be one of the Vols most hated men.

Woodson.

((If you don't get it, ask Peyton)))
