He is a sobering stat: OSU's average win total over the decade is around 11 games per season. Meanwhile, UM has had only one season in the past decade to even reach 11 wins. 

OSU has failed to win double digit games only once in the past 10 years. UM has only 3 seasons in double digit wins during the same time.

Michigan hasn’t had less than two losses in a season since 97. The only seasons they’ve had less than two losses in the last 40 years is 97, 92, and 85. That’s with three ties in 92 and one in 85. Michigan football is in its own unique little mediocre tier. Consistently choking and underachieving. Anyone that still thinks they’re in the same boat as OSU is delusional. I’m sorry. I’m not a troll, just someone that has reached their breaking point in fandom. I’ve emotionally detached.

You can still be emotionally invested and have a reasonable stats based take. Emotion doesn't mean the ability to look past ones faults. Idk. We aren't a National Power anymore and haven't been in 10 years, probably closer to 15. We aren't even a regional power at this time. MSU football is in a better place than Michigan. Michigan has the ability to be OSU, but has to put it together and I believe Harbaugh is building us back towards that.

I knew I had to change after the 2016 OSU game when I threw my remote and put a hole in the wall. I can’t stand watching them lose to that team every year, underachieving every year, choking every year. Really, it’s not them it’s me. The program is what it is. It was my unrealistic expectations.

You're not sure why any recruit would go to OSU?

How much time you got?

Playing for one of the best coaches in the college game, competing for national titles every single year, probably guaranteed at least one playoff appearance while you're there, dominating your rivals every year along with the whole conference, a miles-long track record of sending kids to the NFL every year, a huge fanbase that treats you like a god the minute you set foot on campus, some of the best resources of any program in America, and a decent education to go along with it.

Then you got Michigan, a team that is projected to be no better than 4th in its own division next year, and if it's offense doesn't improve could legitimately go 6-6 (Nebraska, PSU, Wisconsin, ND, MSU, and OSU are all, right now, no better than toss-ups). If I'm neutral, I could think of a ton of reasons as to why I would go to OSU before Michigan. I don't give a shit about the tradition, as the only real tradition I can see is losing to OSU. OSU is also a good school in its own right. May not be Michigan, but it's still a good school that can get you a great job even if football doesn't pan out. So whatever perks Michigan has isn't anything OSU can't offer.

that's hilarious.  It's not in any way, shape, or form like Michigan.  OSU is like an outdoor strip center on it's nicest day, with food choices and shops as discerning.  And its selectivity with regard to academic criteria of entering students ends where Michigan's begins.  I'm embarassed to even draw a comparison.  TheOState provides entry to another 40% of it's class through the side door, Sophomore year, for sake of window dressing the entering Freshman statistics-- which still pale next to Michigan's.  Otherwise, on a materialized level, OSU graduates are looking up at Michigan's earning +40% more $$ on average six years past graduation.   That's the Michigan difference.  And as our coach has made clear, football is fleeting but an education lasts forever.  Here's to the recruits who appreciate the difference!

If you think football players have the same requirements to be accepted into Michigan as other students, you’re mistaken. We are way more selective of transfers, but that applies to maybe a player or two each year. Other than that, we are recruiting from the same pool of players as OSU. The notion that we can only recruit a handful of the top athletes because of our academic requirements isn’t true.

This would be important if you were recruiting participants in a quiz bowl. We are talking about athletes-specifically football players. The michigan difference really shows in the NFL. Michigan puts approximately 15% of the players in the league compared to Ohio State. And if you think mighty michigan has the same admission requirments for football as the rest of the student population, you are sadly mistaken.

This is surprising how exactly. OSU owns us right now. why would any neutral player come to Michigan makes no sense. They are gonna keep getting the athletes they want until we start beating them. I wonder what harbaugh tells kids who tell him OSU is their leader how would anyone convince them otherwise

Look at the DL he coached and put into the NFL:

Taco, Mike Martin, Frank Clark, Ryan Glasgow, Matt Godin, Willie Henry, Chris Wormly. He had four guys at Florida get drafted from 2005-2007. Mo Hurst is a bonafide 1st rounder. Gary and Winovich are NFLers. Think of the Rich Rod dudes he turned into good/great college DL . 

Mattison can coach DL on par with anyone in the country. And he has a hell of an eye for talent. Secondary recruiter on Gary/Peppers/Butt/Hurst. Primary recruiter for Tim Tebow/Bredeson/Dymonte Thomas/Ben Gedeon/De'Veon Smith/Channing Stribling and a bunch more dudes with NFL ceilings

Mattison is a great coach... but so is Larry Johnson.

 

Look at the DL he coached and put into the NFL: Brad Scioli Courtney Brown(#1 pick) Jimmy Kennedy (1st rd) Michael Haynes (1st rd) Anthony Adams Tamba Hali (1st rd) Jay Alford Aaron Maybin (1st rd) Jared Odrick (1st rd) Devon Still Jack Crawford Jordan Hill DaQuan Jones Michael Bennett Joey Bosa (1st rd) Adolphus Washington

Is a PROVEN excellent coach. He has won 3 titles and is basically right behind Saban. Meyer brings in different coaches year after year and the Bucs are ALWAYS in contention for the title. Like it or not, Michigan is a mid tier college football program. Not even close to OSU

Urban and the program are slowly descending. Each year they get more beatable. Hell our 8-5 team could have beat him this year with O’Korn playing qb. They got owned by Iowa and Oklahoma.

Urban was a great coach. Only one of his titles is in the last 10 years. He looks like he is running on fumes. If he doesn’t develop an elite quarterback right away, there will be a big falloff next year.
