The final poll results are in: Michigan is the third greatest pre-WWI dynasty, behind Hohenzollern and Romanov. with the Habsburgs finishing a disappointing fourth.

But the Habsburgs had the amazingly inbred King Charles II, who was actually more inbred than the Targaryens. I know, because they did the math on the ASOIAF sub Reddit.They should win by default.

Charles II, the last of the Spanish Habsburgs:

According to Wikipedia: "Charles II's genome was actually more homozygous than that of a child whose parents are siblings." In other words, the inbreeding was so intense that a brother-sister coupling would produce a child with a more mixed gene pool. Kinda like your average Michigan fan.

I dunno. I'm pretty sure I've seen this guy in the first row at Rupp Arena.

What's the story? I hadn't heard this one...

they claim that
1) Until this game, no ref from the state of Ohio or Michigan was ever allowed to ref The Game
2) For this game, there were at least 2 Ohio refs.....both of whom professed their love for Ohio State at some point in their lives

Validation of these points comes when the ref smacks Weber on the ass. Because no ref has ever engaged in banter or joking with a player at any level of any sport. You never see that. Clearly they wanted Ohio State to win.

This thread just keeps on giving.
They're turning into the cult.

I hate to say this as I think it's kind of a joke/inorganic conference with poorly supported football programs, but there would be advantages to leaving the B1G and joining the ACC. First I'd shoot for an ND style deal sports-wise, but even the deals FSU and Clemson are roped into would be more lucrative if Michigan were in the mix. Regarding academics and the CIC or BTAA, what are we really getting back if the only school ahead of us in terms of R&D spending is Johns Hopkins -- its not like they're rushing to join the CIC...& why is that? We're they're top school on budget-wise and they're not kicking us out. B1G hockey isn't healthy enough yet to dump us -- their winningest program. Recruiting would pick up with games in FL, GA, SC, NC, etc. Also, it's just ####ing easier than the meat-grinder that is the B1G-east and Miami certainly hasn't been hurt in the rankings by the cake-walk schedule they've had. Unless we pick up three or four B12 schools in the next few years, re-balance the divisions in the process and set up some kind of three-way pod system, being in the B1G-east is setting yourself up for failure before the season begins.

I honestly hate the ACC, but I'd love to get a rumor started that Michigan and the ACC have been "talking" just to make Chicago nervous.
