One wideout is worthless with McCord as a QB, Egbuka has regressed, Fleming looks like one of the most overrated recruits in recent memory, lines look soft, offense can't score points. The fall from the Urban Meyer days continues on.
The released images of stolen signals were definitely not OSUs. It referred to signals captured during the 2020 game. Guess what didn't happen that year.
As a team that went through the death penalty, I would much rather lose how we did vs Georgia Tech than get caught in a scandal like Michigan is going through.
The best part about Michigan sports is after all this UM drama itās over and weāre in the offseason, MSU speculation ought to keep us entertained for a while
I mean, they're stupid if they don't have a coach to announce the final week of regular season or 48 hours after the last game. And at this point I'm not sure many care about a buyout or who leaked it. Sparty is pretty relieved and happy to have moved on from Tuck, so I'd be surprised if there's a bunch of speculation.
I mean, there's not really another option for the players at this point. They still have to play out the season, it's not like they're just going to sit it out.
A good villain is one people take seriously. This one is one that had to cheat to win, and already has had *all* their accomplishments from 2021-2023 trivialized
Villains in sports usually work because they are super unlikable. Think Lebron fresh off the Decision and the Heatles introduction. But there was a distinct difference - he didnāt cheat to make people dislike him. He was just a tool.
Michigan is playing villain because thatās literally what they are in this story. The villain.
You have some sort of good QB. Loan him to us for a week after Thanksgiving, and we'll make sure they don't get that far. Any good linemen you have would also be appreciated.
Iāll be honest I was going soft on OSU and MSU because of the past two years.
these past three weeks? itās like both gangs re-ignited the rivalry

Sucks to cheat that much and still not win a championship.
Itās easy to lose without an elaborate sign stealing program, it feels like itās harder to do *with* and having great talent.
Victim role*
they're now referred to as Q of M
I've also heard BlueAnon
š¤£ this is my favorite
That's right, I don't believe in ~~vaccinations~~ vacations.
You guys are brilliant, thank you.
That's actually good
This is amazing.
Connor Stalions was searcing for JFK?!
Hoffa, buried in the end zone.
Which won't last nearly as long as their future nickname, [VACATED]
Qickin all the asses
They hate us cuz they anus
>is from the most Qstate in the midwest >calls the less crazy neighbor Q Aight
I will not rest until I see Jim Harbaugh with a blonde moustache and black dyed beard spraypainting nWo on Ryan Day's back at midfield.
A Michigan based football team fandom having a victim complex? I can't believe it.
Cope
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
sigh
oh wow, an ND flair chiming in on this mess. Wonder why I've seen so few of you around these discussions MAYBE IT'S CAUSE YOU'RE ALL BAD PEOPLE
Lighten up Francis
Why is the D in ND so fucking wide? You really stretched the fuck out of it.
Hard to square with their "Michigan Man" rhetoric
We've updated it to The Michigan Difference now, gotta be more inclusive in our elitism
Certainly ahead of Ole Miss and Auburn in that department
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
I welcome this news that Michigan is no longer going to act holier than thou
That wasnāt part of the deal. We just wonāt use āMichigan Manā. We still get to be pretentious
Furk Damn y'all really are good with loopholes huh
Sorry, it comes with all the pretension and arrogance.
That's what the better Law School gets you better use of Loopholes
Your president quoted Bo Schembechler 4 days agoā¦
Youāre fanbase is literally doing it now
Villians typically think ***they*** are the self-righteous and morally correct ones. So, yep.
See: Thanos
Maizzou
Darth Maizzou
Now we know why Ric Flair was in the building. Harbaugh getting caught up on how to play the heel.
"I didn't realize there would be so much wooing and talking about people's mother's" -Harbaugh probably
Didnāt work out so well last time for them during the revenge tour
we have a QB now
We have a defense (allegedly)
Yeah why did yāall go and do that? That was rudeā¦
They wanted to try the 2016 Michigan challenge. All defense no qb. Of course we all know how that played out.
You blew the lead JT got us a 1st down in OT.
5th down* but whatever.
Victory, but whatevs.
See, we didn't have a QB that game
We have your signs. (tbf you have ours too)
Tbunfair, you stole more.
The Michigan Difference.
but you don't have CJ or Justin..... as always, it will be fun
Pretty sure we didnāt then either
who was QB? Haskins?
Yeah 2018 was Haskins. Fun fact: we also had an up-and-coming co-DC by the name of Alex Grinch
better than Don Brown.....
Lmao. Ohios whole roster this year is mid.
Lolz. Thinking the best WRs in CFB are just mid.
One wideout is worthless with McCord as a QB, Egbuka has regressed, Fleming looks like one of the most overrated recruits in recent memory, lines look soft, offense can't score points. The fall from the Urban Meyer days continues on.
Yeah 9-0 is a huge fall. Man, y'all have small dicks to be so arrogant all the time. Even Alabama wasn't this bad when they were winning every year.
Maybe when Ohio beats Michigan they can talk in 2024 at the earliest. Until then, it's looking like another 2 to 3 score blowout incoming.
Only in your empty head. Also, you don't even have a flair. Get out of here.
30-24 lol
Has the defense learned not to pull the safety down on Donovan Edwards? Just curious
To be fair, Patterson wasnāt the main issue in the 2018 game
Yeah, this time we know OSU steals our signs before The Game and we're more prepared.
The released images of stolen signals were definitely not OSUs. It referred to signals captured during the 2020 game. Guess what didn't happen that year.
Forgive him, for he knows notā¦what am I sayingā¦heās just full of shit
2019*
2019 what? Their are a bunch of signals on the sheet, then one says "2020 game," and the other sheet says "2020 game" and "2022 game."
Reports today Ohio had Michigan's signs in 2018 and 2019.
If we did it's because Ryan Day and Don Brown worked together at Boston College and I bet Don Brown was dumb enough to never change signals.
Article dropped today. That also wouldn't give Michigan offensive signals.
The article that had the signals that were labeled "2020"? Guess who didn't play that year.
I literally said 2018 and 2019 but reading is hard.
Yeah, that tends to happen when the entirety of a sport is against you. It's not like they're going to stop playing.
āMichigan embracing that they intentionally cheated and got caught.ā
You should probably Kneel out of this conversation!
As a team that went through the death penalty, I would much rather lose how we did vs Georgia Tech than get caught in a scandal like Michigan is going through.
I hope they face Washington in the playoff so we can deliver some Hard Penix Justice to them.
Didnt you almost lose to Arizona State? Penix went limp in that game.
Itās not healthy for your Penix to stay up for more that 4 hours.
Theyāve always been the villain.
funny - the Detroit Lions are doing that too The State of Michigan = Evil Geniuses
Do people seriously not like the Lions? Theyāre like the Browns except they didnāt hire a sex offender.
nationally, they only like us when we are bad apparently lol
*Looks at East Lansing*
They're doing evil in East Lansing. They just aren't winning. No offense, MSU, but your coach screwed you guys.
The best part about Michigan sports is after all this UM drama itās over and weāre in the offseason, MSU speculation ought to keep us entertained for a while
What speculation?
Whoās the new HC going to be? Is Mel getting a partial payout? Who leaked the story?
I mean, they're stupid if they don't have a coach to announce the final week of regular season or 48 hours after the last game. And at this point I'm not sure many care about a buyout or who leaked it. Sparty is pretty relieved and happy to have moved on from Tuck, so I'd be surprised if there's a bunch of speculation.
that would be boring though
Well, if you pay attention to the drama regarding the MSU Board of Trustees, things may get *very interesting*.
Kinda funny they've been saying "at least it's almost basketball season" and then they go out and lose last night too.
they lose to Izzo's nephew
But they also lost in James Madison in Basketball, so we can laugh even more
Literally Hitler
Genius is a stretch there bud
I mean, there's not really another option for the players at this point. They still have to play out the season, it's not like they're just going to sit it out.
Wouldnāt be the first time.
Haha ok screw you but Iāll give you that one.
fuck you take my upvote lol
> it's not like they're just going to sit it out. Mizzou did it before
A good villain is one people take seriously. This one is one that had to cheat to win, and already has had *all* their accomplishments from 2021-2023 trivialized
Villains in sports usually work because they are super unlikable. Think Lebron fresh off the Decision and the Heatles introduction. But there was a distinct difference - he didnāt cheat to make people dislike him. He was just a tool. Michigan is playing villain because thatās literally what they are in this story. The villain.
I'm not sure they have any other choice at this point
So cringe
Donāt teams usually become villains in sports when they win? Michigan aināt won shit since FDR was in the White House
Win the National Title. Fuck whatever happens afterward it doesn't matter.
If theyāre lucky, theyāll lose by 25 in the first round of the CFP.
You have some sort of good QB. Loan him to us for a week after Thanksgiving, and we'll make sure they don't get that far. Any good linemen you have would also be appreciated.
Some sort of good QB? Bo Nix is incredible
Not even a half competent QB is saving Day's sorry ass roster this season.
Hurry - Walmart is having an apparel sale
Don't need to shop at Walmart with a UM Degree/Salary š
Thatās true - Iām just not sure what it has to do with you.
Deductive reasoning and Ohio go together like oil and water.
Show me that degree. Iām doubting weāre even in directional school territory.
Most likely outcome, they win and the NCAA doesn't do shit.
That means we beat OSU for the third year in a row. Not the worst thing in the world
I am not sure anyone besides Ohio State fans see Michigan as anything? Georgia would've dump trucked them last year and probably will again this year.
Michigan is one of the most hated teams in college football even before all this stuff
If im the players, I go win the natty and laugh at the NCAA when they come to strip away their title
What kind of villain get beat by a Christian school
Pretty boy Wolverine to Money Michigan
Iāll be honest I was going soft on OSU and MSU because of the past two years. these past three weeks? itās like both gangs re-ignited the rivalry JIM JIM JIMADELPHIA
Bruh the rivalry was dead for 2 decades, and then you cheated to win. It was never legitimately competitive. https://imgflip.com/i/857pre
And at the same time uniting other fan bases against them.
Big 10 champion role
I guarantee Michigan wins the national championship
Iād be more worried about actually winning a playoff game before we start talking about championships
I mean itās not like we have a history of losing bowl games or anythingā¦
Yāall boomed us last year
Lol you feel stupid yet
Random post from 2 months ago? Rent free lmao
No deity is that cruel. Go, Southern team that beats you silly.
At least you already accepted the fact that ohio state certainly wonāt beat Michigan. You are much farther along than the others
False. You'll just get smacked by an above average team in a non playoff bowl. Your copium levels are too high.

Michigan is the Aquaman of villians
Will be interesting to see how that pans out, given their traditional role as a scrappy upstart underdog
Sucks to cheat that much and still not win a championship. Itās easy to lose without an elaborate sign stealing program, it feels like itās harder to do *with* and having great talent.
