I've got two nieces who attended Michigan. They are quick to talk shit but are now parroting Portnoy and claiming "I just don't pay attention to bowl games."

I had to throw the Knute Rockne loser quote at them.

Anyone else experiencing this out in the wild?

Pics of nieces?

I'm doing you a favor by not posting.

You're not the boss of me!

Just acknowledge and agree that you would be disinterested in your program as well if they were rampant cheaters and your coach was banging his assistant.

Tell them to talk shit when they actually beat Texas... Or to be nice ask them how many times Michigan has defeated Texas at football.

TBH I’d be disappointed if this was the new Michigan attitude. I like Michigan and like playing them.

Everyone's classy until Texas hands them their ass a few times in a row.

Remember Crying Nebraska Kid? This is him now. Feel old yet?

Anyone with a set of eyes who watched this game is unable to use the tired "they didn't want to be there" bullshit, pads were popping from kickoff to kneel down.

They can't use the opt out excuse either, ABC took care of that narrative by using a little graphic showing a 3 to 9 advantage for Michigan when it came to notable players not suited up.

I knew in theory we should have as much depth as anyone, but this little exhibition bowl game confirmed it.

As long we don't have droves of players hopping in the portal (Parker Livingstone, what in the actual fuck?) I feel good about the roster for next season...hopefully we cherry pick wisely from the portal.

Be happy they didn't go to ohio state and leave it at that

it might help them get some exercise. can't sit on the couch all day if the couches are all burnt up

Well, now that those boring bowl games are ( mostly) over, they have the excitement of the Michigan winter about which to be thrilled, along with playing roulette with their drinking water.

Here is my best reply to my Wal-verine relatives; I tell them that I agree Michigan built it's program on the backs of greatness, they were the best team just after the turn of the century....1901 through 1905 were their halcyon days

Michigan is awesome as a college football brand and Ann Arbor is a great college town. Don’t get me wrong, fuck them on the field, but I wish we had a home and home with them in perpetuity…

True, the only blueblood we'll beat more often is Nebraska.

That's what has changed for me. They are now on the shit list. In LA I still hear crap from USC fans that they were the better team.

@6th Street maybe it wasn't but you clicked and commented so...

How long does it take for a "Blueblood" to lose that status/image when they don't win for X amount of years?

Their blue is very faded. Baby blue, at best.

When TCU played them in the FIesta Bowl they were very condescending prior to the game and told anyone in purple that they weren't going to make the same mistake Wisconsin had made in the Rosel Bowl.

After the game they were less than cordial and I catch my crap from Michigan alums I know about the 2022 title game beating by UGA than a UGA alum who is a co-worker though I will say that by responding to their efforts by admitting the CFP committee did TCU a disservice by giving us a bye in the title game usually stops the conversation.

Easy to be thought of as "cordial and classy" when you beat the shit out of people for decades. Funny how all these scandals somehow don't stick to them.

Every fanbase has its share of dolts. Parroting the likes of Portnoy is proof positive of membership, but no need to paint the entire fanbase with so broad a brush.

The team that won the national title two years ago?

I must have slept through the championship game that Nebraska won.

Yall expect me to jump back a page instead of just making an erroneous assumption?

You mean the team who had a staff that included a cheat, a computer felon, a philandering stalker who is under arrest, and Minter and Harbaugh?

Nothing sassy class like that staff, heck how many scandals have happened in that athletic department the last 5 years?

Hence me checking in to see if other people were experiencing this. I have a lot of Michigan grad friends / associates and obviously family. As I see this repeating itself throughout their ranks my brush grows broader.

They did win a volleyball championship a couple years back.

Oh wait. No they didn't.

Bama's failure to jump on a muffed punt in the endzone snipped that. Michigan had not won a real national title in 80 years.

Did anyone tell you But we played the better game.
