I actually went the opposite way. Sports hated UM until maybe 35 and now just see it as a game I fuss over one day a year.
It may be because I'm not on social media and it's no longer the Cooper years...but it's still how it is.
I work with several UM guys. They are really good guys. We don't usually talk football. But one came to me after Wisconsin and said it looks like an OSU year again. I said...well...we haven't played you yet.
Very interesting topic and it effects all schools.
I am anti-"pay the players". They get compensated with a full college education and a 4 year job interview for one of the highest paid and earliest retirement jobs in the world.
We like college football because our players choose us. As soon as we monetize it, college football truly becomes the NFL farm league.
That said, what's stopping us from rewarding the players for what they have done after they have graduated?
Take a player who picked you as a 5*, played in every game physically possible (including his last bowl games to stick with the topic), was a captain for 2 years, never got in trouble..etc. Walk up to him after he gets his diploma and hand him a 1.37 mil check as the portion he helped the school earn.
TLDR: Establish bonus opportunities in the signing contracts that players get compensated after they graduate.
That is what I got to enjoy with my cheap student tickets as a Buckeye college student and the years directly before and after were not much better.
Things change and will change again. The buckeyes will suck again before I pass and Michigan will dominate. History happens and the bad luck ends.
What did I do during the "bad times"?
First of all, I didn't know they were bad times. It was all normal to me and I just enjoyed the wins when they happened. When we lost, I still had a fun time with my friends experiencing the loss together.
Michigans status with other B1G fans has already changed in the last three years with JH running the show. You are a factor and a fear once again. The Michigan/OSU games have meaning once again.
Stay the course...chin up...and this will all be history in a few years. You only fail if you lose faith.

I suffer from PTMS induced by Copper and football history in general.
