Good Point. Moved all of the scab-picking to the "agonizing loss" thread

FAILED PROMISES: LOOKING BACK AT THE WORDS OF FORMER MICHIGAN MEN WHO VOWED TO VANQUISH OHIO STATE, ONLY TO NOT DO THAT THING
Another Michigan Man is spouting off some nonsense about Ohio State.
If the analytics on this website are any indicator, you probably saw the news about three-star offensive tackle Tristan Bounds — who committed to Jim Harbaugh and the Wolverines last week — and the interesting comments he made in The Wolverine's podcast.
“I've been pretty adamant about this. I don't want to lose any games," Bounds said on Rivals' Michigan podcast. "I want to win national championships. I want to kick the shit out of Ohio State. Those are my goals. The best class that we can get is going to help us do that.”
Bounds' bold statements will help him fit right in at Michigan, which has a strong recent history of vowing vengeance against its chief rival, only to fall short. Let's take a trip down memory lane.
MIKE HART
Our journey starts with our favorite little engine that couldn't.
After suffering his third loss to Ohio State in the 2006 matchup that pinned No.1. vs. No. 2, Hart infamously told reporters that he knew a rematch would go differently.
"It would be a whole different game," the former Michigan running back said. "We definitely would have beaten the Buckeyes (in the national championship game). There's no doubt in my mind we would've beat the Buckeyes."
One of the main reasons he, quarterback Chad Henne and offensive tackle Jake Long returned for their senior seasons was to do just that. To that point in their careers, the trio of juniors were 0-3 against Ohio State.
"We haven't finished a season strong as a group," Long said. We haven't beaten Ohio State. We haven't won a bowl game. We want to come out on top as seniors."
They did not go out on top as seniors. Their season started with arguably the greatest upset in college football history, when Appalachian State beat No. 5 Michigan at Michigan Stadium. The following week, Oregon came to town and thumped the Wolverines 39-7.
The senior-heavy team bounced back with eight straight wins, but they fell to Wisconsin the week before hosting Ohio State. They could've salvaged their season and put a bow on their Michigan careers by finally beating the Buckeyes, but the offense was limited to 91 yards of total offense and the defense got ran over by Beanie Wells to the tune of 222 yards in a 14-3 Ohio State win.

Simple law of averages says one of them should eventually be right, but they keep...coming...up...short.
And a sea of Surrender Cobras.There's not much that compares with a blowout home loss on that scoreboard.
