I am not a native Michigander, but, when I went to U-M, we lost to MSU twice:  '87 and '90.  '87 was the six interception game, and '90 of course was the no-call on the PI in the end zone when we tried to win the game (as the number one team in the fucking country).

My point is, that I learned to hate those MF'ers pretty quickly.

I am always irritated how the Hart is short comment is always removed. Also when Hart’s comment is reduced to him saying Little Brother and does not include when he said “that’s what they think” because they spent all game saying “Who’s little brother now?”

My god, Draymond is dumb. "They're not cut like us. We live for those moments." My only memory of him in a Michigan / MSU game is completely bricking a potential game winner.

Admit I am a geek like this and rewound this 7x.  Watching this video of the 2001 game with HD vid and new fangled technology it is easy to come to the following conclusion:

17 seconds were left in the game and 4 seconds magically were gifted to MSU.  

My $800 iPhone has a stopwatch on it.  When I sync that up and press start when the ball is snapped, my iPhone rattles off 21.25 seconds on average between snaps.  They ended up with 1 second on the clock.  Seriously I averaged this.   Low end was 19.75 seconds and high end was 22.5.  Any way I run it.  

Maybe Apple had the foresight to know that 14 years after this game I would start using their product and is just messing with me.

Well that was interesting.  Leave it to a network like Fox to frame a narrative that MSU has been kicking the shit out of M since the beginning of time.  Or somehow they are close to equals.  Fucking joke.

Just finished. I'd say certain parts were frustrating to watch but overall it was worth watching.

I do think it portrayed MSU a bit more positively. It heavily pushed Michigan's arrogance stereotype and ignored everything before 2007 besides MSU's cinderella moments... The second half was more fair than the first at least. 

Loved the interviews though. Was awesome hearing from Beilein, Carr, Long, and Gardner.

Sounds like I made a good choice to not watch this pile of garbage. 

When Devin Gardner is who you’re able to get for an interview that says a lot about this documentary.

Will not watch. Clearly it’s a cherry-picked assortment of the history to falsely portray MSU as some kind of equal or at least a plucky upstart that heroically stands up to the big blue bully against all odds.

I am fine with being portrayed as the arrogant asshole who unkindly looks down on and demeans the less-than MSU, but only if MSU is accurately portrayed as a bitter and insanely jealous institution that constantly compares itself to UM and cannot understand why no one in Ann Arbor or nationally will recognize them as an equal to UM as an institution no matter how much on-field success they may occasionally run into.
