My favorite part of the war was when General William Tecumseh Harbaugh Sherman of Cobra Kai Dojo marched to the sea. He swept the leg.

too hate our own negative fanbase.
December 23rd, 2017 at 9:38 AM ^
It's every fanbase. It's in the comments to articles and commentary across the spectrum. It's in tweets and Facebook posts. People spewing invective because they can while hiding behind a handle that protects their anonymity.
December 23rd, 2017 at 10:15 AM ^
They have ways of tracking you down if you don't use a handle.

I’m right up there with the rest of the Michigan fans on this blog as far as loving Michigan...it’s football team specifically. But homer-ism, over-overconfidence, and cockiness is every bit as annoying as the overly negative side.
I know it’s hard for people to maintain objectivity through maize n blue goggles ... but as with everything, you have to look at our football team from many different angles.
We all want it to be the best. But let’s face it, it has a lot to prove before it’s considered elite. Just sayin’....
That being said...root like hell for your team. No matter what. Be graceful with victory and in defeat. No shame in either.
Our day will come...and we are probably one great QB away from it being here. Here’s to hoping!!
December 23rd, 2017 at 9:59 AM ^
just an average one. With a decent game manager that could make basic throws and not turn the ball over Michigan is 11-1 this year at worst.
December 23rd, 2017 at 10:04 AM ^
of the recently graduated Robert Wilton Speight III? Damn you chair throwing ,riled up, late-hittng Purdue D lineman.
December 23rd, 2017 at 1:06 PM ^
but also 11-1 at best
December 23rd, 2017 at 4:56 PM ^
One loss teams have won the national championship...
December 23rd, 2017 at 11:35 AM ^
telling us that Harbaugh is God are the same people calling for his head, or calling the QB a loser and claiming that all is lost when you go down a TD in the first quarter. And--while politics may be rightly banned--everyone brings all their daily bile to bear on their team and their team's perceived enemies.
December 23rd, 2017 at 4:13 PM ^
I hate it when you guys change the topic of a thread and start talking about the counterstrike game. Also do not like that of u don't agree with a new person, that said person is a troll.
December 23rd, 2017 at 9:35 AM ^
My hate for MSU has grew a lot over these past years...
December 23rd, 2017 at 10:29 AM ^
That is what happens when they have owned UM over the past decade
Hoping things start to change in 2018
Chin up!
Go Blue!
December 23rd, 2017 at 10:49 AM ^
The MSU game is the most important game on the schedule next year. Just win that game above anything else. The Buckeye rivalry is cyclical. We go back and forth with them (the Ten Years War), we beat them for regularly for a while (the Cooper years), and now they have clobbered us for a (long) stretch. We'll be back against them, for sure. But MSU? That is unnatural. They never beat us on any regular or any other basis, just the once in a while thing. Give them credit, they've taken full advantage of our down period. But enough is enough.
December 23rd, 2017 at 11:11 AM ^
better check your history. i get it was along time ago, but from the early 50`s to the late 60`s msu owned michigan.
December 23rd, 2017 at 11:19 AM ^
Haha. Was just talking about my lifetime...
December 23rd, 2017 at 7:02 PM ^
"My hate for MSU has grew a lot over these past years"
My hate has not grew, unlike yew, bew hew hew, but it has grown, with enthusiasm unkown, while the bullshit losses made me moan & groan, but starting this year, and forever more, our coach Jim will DantoniOWN!
December 28th, 2017 at 10:49 AM ^
As has mine...not for the players, at least for the most part.
For the Sparty fans who ridicule Michigan at every opportunity, the Vengeance of Harbaugh and a fully weaponized U-M program cannot come soon enough. It's a matter of time. It may be as early as next season, if the offense can get its shit together and start making plays when it counts.
December 23rd, 2017 at 10:42 AM ^
Don't get me wrong - I can't stand OSU, but I used to support MSU when they weren't playing UM. However, the last time I can remember feeling like I supported them was the 2012 Buffalo Wild Wings Bowl when they beat TCU 17-16. Since then, the behavior of their fans, and Dantonio and their coaching staff, just makes me really fucking pissed off at times. The hypocrisy of claiming victimhood and simultaneously bragging about the success of their program makes me sick.
Whoo... I feel better. On to the Feats of Strength!
December 28th, 2017 at 10:51 AM ^
Yes, the combination of Sparty victimhood and braggadocio is exhausting. I have to constantly remind myself, "it's just FOOTBALL. I can't let these assholes ruin my day."
December 28th, 2017 at 10:54 AM ^
Oops, double post.
another greivance:
SHITTY BIG TEN OFFICIATING.
I would like to punch that official who gave Ohio State the spot on 4th and 1 in the 2016 game.
That guy...that guy was a homer and needs to never officiate another Big Ten game again, period.
December 23rd, 2017 at 12:11 PM ^
You need to let the true spirit of Festivus into your heart. Think about it, can't you hate OSU just a little bit more?
December 28th, 2017 at 10:56 AM ^
I've got an ocean of bile for Ohio State...
December 23rd, 2017 at 12:59 PM ^
I hate OSU more than PSU, who I hate more than MSU.
December 23rd, 2017 at 1:53 PM ^
My hatred of MSU will grow exponentially when the NCAA finally puts two thoughts together and realizes that MSU overperforms for the UM game every year in comparison to their other games, surprise drug tests their team at the game, finds short term drug enhancements, investigates and finds it a long term trend through interviews.
December 23rd, 2017 at 3:38 PM ^
Well I hate penn state more than msu and osu
December 23rd, 2017 at 9:05 AM ^

December 23rd, 2017 at 9:07 AM ^
He was short, damnit, and I’ll pin anyone who thinks otherwise.
December 23rd, 2017 at 10:23 AM ^
On such an important, gamechanging play you don't give it to them on a "maybe." A firstdown, in that instance, should be clearly earned. If the tables were turned, although I would have been happy, I wouldn't have felt great about being given the gift of a game winning call.
December 23rd, 2017 at 12:05 PM ^
The ref knew the ball needed to be placed on the tip of the 15 yd line for the first down and that is exactly what he did.
December 23rd, 2017 at 1:56 PM ^
And urban knew it would be placed on the line.
December 23rd, 2017 at 12:21 PM ^
for taking away a 1st down on a maybe, couldn’t it? I mean there were 2 teams on the field that day. Everyone focuses on that one play. It looked like UM’s DL was gassed midway 4th qtr. Speights fumble on the goal line, the pick 6, Harbaugh’s 15 yard penalty extending OSU’s drive, not going for it on 4th down on OSU’s side of the field. etc etc. BTW merry Xmas everyone.
December 23rd, 2017 at 10:32 AM ^
He would’ve been short and we all know it. They didn’t make that call because they were in the Shoe, plain and simple
December 23rd, 2017 at 12:02 PM ^
Michigan to me is defined by this bullshit. I'm soooo happy for Nebraska. I can't wait for Sept 22nd. Natinonal championship bullshittery just got real.
Wormley will forever take a place with Simpkins in my cold dead Michigan heart.

December 23rd, 2017 at 9:10 AM ^
For all that I love about Don Brown, his stubborness about putting Mike McCray on a RB repeatedly made me turn grey, and I'm only 22.
December 23rd, 2017 at 5:33 PM ^
And on third and 15? . . . just put your man card in the drawer for a down and play a freakling soft zone.
I'm more afraid of thid and very long with a Don Brown team than I am of third and short.

Heard him on Detroit radio. He doesn't want Harbaugh fired. Doesn't say Harbaugh is a bad coach. He says Harbaugh has to be better. That 1-5 against MSU and OSU is falling way short. I am not wavering in my support of Harbaugh but Toomer is right. And I believe if we asked Harbaugh he would agree as well.
But instead of actually listening to Toomer we would rather dump invective on him, read him out of the family and ship him off to Bolivia.
