Michigan Fan Intervention
Dear SCUM fanbase,
..Get a hold of yourselves! It's Tuesday of Ohio State week and what do I see on Maize N Brew & MgoBlog? OMG Devin Gardner.. I heart John Beilein.. Are you freaking kidding me? You are 'expletive' Michigan! Don't get me wrong I hate your freaking guts and I sustain myself with your tears but for the love of God we went 0-9 against you from 1997-2007. You singlehandedly got John Cooper fired even though he didn't get beat by anybody else but you! If there is anything as irritating as having one of your rivals stride across the conference like a goliath its watching the same fan base dwindle into an apathetic funk of suck.
So you are 5-6? Cry me a river. I attended Penn State from 2000-Spring 2005.. That's five years and 4 losing records. And as much as I'd love to see RR go up in smoke and Jim Harbaugh give double middle fingered salutes to sweatervest after throwing for that 7th TD pass with 30 seconds left in a 49-14 win 3 years from now, can you imagine how great it would be if you could spoil the Rose Bowl season by getting bowl eligible against Ohio State in the finale. A season in which OSU had no right to be the Big 10 favorite anyways that had been resurrected with a Rose Bowl birth would fall into Epic FAIL category. Admit it.. deep down if you could be 8-3 right now with a 49-7 beating on the way wouldn't you trade it for a 2-6 record with a season ending win over "The Ohio State University." Come on.
So you say.. Sure that would be great? But come on.. how do we even have a chance? Have you seen the UM defense?
Yeah I've seen your defense. You've got a great defensive end and a decent D-line.. You've got one decent corner and then three guys who can't cover to save their lives. Your linebackers are basically useless. But I tell you a secret.. Ohio State can't throw the ball...
Here's another one. Terrelle Pryor can't read a defense to save his life.
The closest thing that Ohio State has faced to your offense, and for that matter your defense... is Purdue. You played them a couple of weeks ago, it was like mirror images of chokedom and somehow they came out on top. They beat Ohio State too.. That means you can.
To which you say? You just want to be involved in a 17-way tie for the Big 10 title. Think of the glory of being tied with Iowa, Ohio State, Wisconsin, The University of Chicago, and insert branch campus here for the Big 10 championship.. Who couldn't want that? Guilty.. I wouldn't mind winning 3 of the last 5 Big 10 championships(none outright.. is that correct? Jesus). That would be a nice consolation prize.
But more than anything else.. I want their fanbase to turn on Tressel. And I think this game is just the game to do it.
So suck it up Michigan fans. Preview the damn game. Pay attention, send some damn letters to GERG to give him a freaking clue, and if you want to talk about basketball then talk about it when the fans of the bigtime programs do.. in March.

I see no reason to root for Michigan
What will that accomplish: give RichRod some more time and get them to a bowl game where they will lose to a MAC team.

But dont you want him to stay?
I’m really enjoying the beatdowns we get to put on them each year. And things really aren’t getting that much better over there with him at the helm. Keep him around at least one more year so we can have fun crushing them.
RR in for next year
This week on NY sports radio, they were saying that the UM AD is retiring in … August. As a result of staying until then, the new AD will not have enough time to hire a new coach for next season, so RR will be in place, at least for one more year.
Has anyone heard about this? Just curious.
I see 2 reasons.
1. Getting to see Michigan lose to a MAC team in a bowl game.
2. Watching what would inevitably be a colossal meltdown across Ohio, leading to an Ohioan Civil War, Tressel’s exile, and 40 years of aimless wandering by their people.
Point number 2
would be glorious

Who cares about their stupid "rivalry"
We’ve got our own hate to spew this week against SPARTY.
HATE HATE HATE Michigan F****ng State!
"Every player we have, someone—maybe a parent, a grandparent, someone—poured their life and soul into that young man. They are handing that young man off to us. They are giving us their treasure, and it's our job to make sure we give them back that young man intact and ready to face the world." - Joe Paterno

Who cares? Why are we discussing this? Sounds like off season discussion to me.

Rivalry ESQ had a post about their rivalry yesterday. I’m proud to say the first disdainful comment was mine.

Why do you care?
If Michigan loses, they add yet another schadenfreudey moment to my life, and if tOSU wins, they’ll likely lose to whoever in the Rose Bowl, which while another black scar on the conference it may be, means we can continue to hate and further add to the fact that it has been tOSU who has singlehandedly destroyed this conferences reputation. I see no benefit in seeing a 3 loss tOSU go to the Rose Bowl, it just makes the rest of us look bad. If we win our bowl, we’ll have held up our end of the bargain 4 out of the past 5 years, which is a hell of lot more than tOSU can say, and I’ll take pride in that.
tO$U-scUM
This rivilary is overrated. It isn’t 1969 anymore, except nobody told tO$U and scUM. Winning the Big Ten is nice, but isn’t the end all/be all of college football, which is kind of why PSU will always never quite fit in.
Due to the “Bo” and “Woody” mindset the Big Ten season ends two or three weeks before everyone elses season, this season notwithstanding. tO$U-scUM has to be the last game of the season blah, blah blah. Can’t play that game in prime time because it wasn’t played in primetime 40 years ago. God forbid the game was in December. The Earth would stop rotating on its axis.

Here's another secret:
I think the 2006 UM-OSU game, while high scoring, was actually quite crappy.

While I hate both of them more than words can describe
I must admit there have been high stakes for many of their recent games.
other than 2006
what were the many games, and how high were those stakes?

It just pisses me off
We beat Michigan and Ohio State int he same season for just the third time ever, yet we lose to Northern (bleeping) Illinois and Northwestern.
No wonder they are whining
A futile crusade to prevent mass ignorance
HammerAndRails, SBNation's Boilermaker Blog
Dude, keep your head up
You guys are probably going bowling next year, you can take one more year of mediocrity.
Shhhh....
I’m going to let you in on a secret. It’s the secret that rules the Big Ten. Here it is, and it’s going to change your life….
Michigan and Ohio State love each other. In fact they are totally gay for each other. What ever animosity they have is over-compensation for how much they really just want to cuddle.
They can’t stand it when anybody else in the league has the audacity to be good. They can’t stand it when anybody else in the league dares to question whether they are the greatest football programs in the history of the world. As much as they seem to hate to lose to each other, they can deal with it. What they really hate is losing to anybody else.
Somebody wrote an article in August about how maybe the Big Ten might benefit by, you know, promoting something other than Ohio State & Michigan, like say the winningest football coach in the history of D1A college football. And what resulted here was a troll storm about how the entire Ohio State football program was better than Joe Paterno.
It seems to me that Penn State is the only school in the league not willing to submit to our masters in Ann Arbor in Columbus.
And they really fu@#ing hate that.
Land Grant or bust! Worst 10-2 team ever? Beat Michigan State.

This is exactly why I want Michigan to beat OSU
It would tarnish the OSU title by forcing them to share it with Iowa, Wiscy, and of course PSU. We could then claim to be Big Ten Champs 3 out of the last 5 years. Gulp, I’m a Michigan fan this weekend. (We will never speak of this again!)
Sorry, I just don't like it
The conference already looks bad with OSU winning. Don’t need to further tarnish it by having them lose to another bad team (who will then lose in the Pizza! Pizza! Bowl)

I’m just not sure why you’d want to claim to be Big Ten champions when Iowa and Ohio State beat us up. Isn’t that what we mock OSU for?
DO YOU HAVE PRIDE, DANNY?
by ReadingRambler on Nov 18, 2009 10:55 AM EST up reply actions
I don't mock for claiming to be Big Ten Champs
I believe all are Big Ten champs but one should distinguish as to whether or not they were the best team in the Big Ten. In other words PSU and OSU were both champs last year but PSU was the best team in the Big Ten, hence the automatic bid.
If Iowa or OSU wanted to win the conference title outright
and not have to share the title then they should have beaten Northwestern, Purdue, or (hypothetical) Michigan.
This reminds me of something Tracy Morgan said once
It would tarnish the OSU title by forcing them to share it with Iowa, Wiscy, and of course PSU. We could then claim to be Big Ten Champs 3 out of the last 5 years. Gulp, I’m a Michigan fan this weekend. (We will never speak of this again!)
back in the day he was chillin at the neighborhood pool and someone stole his shoes. So he crapped in the pool, way down in the deep end. He said he did it so NO ONE could enjoy the pool. Now no one can swim!
We already lost our spot in the Big Ten pool this year. Might as well have the wolverines crap in it and ruin it for everyone. Who knows, maybe a 4-way tie will make them do something about the BS tiebreakers that let OSU steal a piece of our titles this decade.

Would be hilarious to turn a green post pink.
If you’re an internet dork that is.

UM fans only care about winning and once old Jimmy started winning they’d eat their pride.

But for now, they’re all angry at him. I’ve actually seen a few comments to the effect of “I hate Jim Harbaugh”, “We should make Jim Harbaugh an Ex-Wolverine”, blah blah.

Hey JuggerNit...
can you burn a giant electric squirrel in the turf somewhere prominent on the Lansing University grounds? There’s gotta be something done to ignite this fake rivalry. Steal a woman named Helen from them? Anything?
