Let's not forget that Ohio State has a proud history as well.

Ohio State won its first AP national championship in 1942, a full six years before Michigan won its first in 1948. And we have five total AP titles (1942, 1954, 1968, 2002, 2014) to their two (1948, 1997).

And Ohio State won its first coaches poll national championship in 1957, which was ... now let me see ... how many years ... Oh, that's right - Michigan has never won a coaches poll national championship in the 68 years that the title has been awarded. We've got four (1957, 1968, 2002, 2014).

The third most prestigious national championship is the FWAA title, voted on by football writers. We again have five (1957, 1961, 1968, 2002, 2014) and they have just one (1997).

What DFBIA means by "proud history" is "ancient history", like pre-poll national championships, awarded by historians who never saw the teams nor watched the games and may or may not even know anything about the sport, from the era when Harvard, Yale, Princeton, Cornell, and mighty Lafayette were major football powers.

There is literally no one in America who was alive for Michigan's first two national championships (1901, 1902), and only two people who were alive for their next two (1903, 1904). Of the 326,985,474 people living in America today, just two of them were alive for any part of Michigan's Golden Era.

And 2018 is an historic year for the Wolverines - it marks the 100th anniversary of their 5th national title (1918); the 95th anniversary of their 6th (1923); and the 85th anniversary of their 7th (1933), their last title before they had to prove themselves in front of voters who actually watched the games and followed the teams. Those halftime celebrations should be fun - maybe they can summon up the ghosts of some of those team's members, complete with their leather helmets and wool jerseys and canvas pants.

And finally let's talk "winningest program in college football" for a minute. At least 100 of those wins (count 'em) came against D-3 programs, high schools, athletic clubs, military bases, and a group of "physicians & surgeons" (not kidding - look it up). But with all those wins against Albion, Beloit, Case, DePauw, Kalamazoo, Mount Union, Oberlin, Olivet, and Wittenberg ... those clowns up north have still never beaten Toledo!

So let Michigan Man fap away to their ancient history and distant success, as their team continues to bite the bone in the real world.

There is chatter on scum forums that Drevno and Pep could be heading to the NFL, and Harbrau plans to replace them with...wait for it...Greg Roman. :slappy:

Ol' Simple Jim sure does like to stay familiar. For those unfamiliar, Greg Roman is Harbrau's former OC with the Niners who tried to make Kaepernick a pocket QB and saw his offenses get worse each season until they were a goddamned sludgefart by 2014. He then spent 18 games as the Bills OC before getting his ass canned there. He spent this year as "Senior Offensive Assistant" with the Ravens and their 27th-ranked offense. As a Niners fan, I wholeheartedly endorse this move if true.

And don't forget, the other side of this rumor is Dan fucking Enos. :lol:

You want perpective? From '04
You want perpective?

From '04 to today we are Iowa.

We split the 04 title with iowa and including that year
Michigan is 110-67 overall(67-47 big ten regular season) (3-8 in bowls) and iowa is 111-68 overall (66-48 big ten regular season) (5-7 in bowls).

Since Harbaugh was hired we are 28-11 (18-8) 1-2 in bowls and they are 28-12 (18-8) 1-2 in bowls. But iowa has a win over us, osu, and a big ten title game appearance.

At this point we are basically iowa with bigger stadium and higher paid coach.

So, since 2004 scUM is 5th in the B1G

Ohio State 141-30 .825 (Really 153-31 .832 since 2010 actually did have results)
Wisconsin 141-45 .758
Pedsters 122-56 .685
Sparty 114-66 .633

and a virtual tie with Iowa, as noted.... scUM is .00136 of a percentage point from being the 6th best team int he B1G since 2004.

EDIT: And.. they're only 2 games better than Nebraska (112-69 .61878) in that same time... good for.... seventh in the B1G

But, they were REALLY good from 1901 - 1904.... and you can't take that away from em.

Czar Nicholas II and the Russian Empire were still pretty good from 1901-1904 too.

Our record should be 153-30, since the loss is still counted, I believe.
