He had it rough, starting as a sophomore.

Whenever I come across a Wolverine fan I'm sure to remind them that they have 1/2 a Championship in 70 years. And while I can't quite remember the stats of Bo I always have them ready on my computer (from the perspective of a ND fan unfortunately.)

Let's review the record of their greatest coach, Bo Schembechler --

1969: Michigan wins the Big 10 but then loses the Rose Bowl to USC 10-3
1970: Michigan is 9-0 heading into Ohio State but comes up short 20-9
1971: Michigan is 11-0 and facing heavy underdog Stanford in the Rose Bowl: 13-12 Stanford
1972: 10-0 heading into OSU: 14-11 Buckeyes
1973: 10-0 and Michigan has Ohio State at home: 10-10 tie and the conference athletic directors vote to send the Buckeyes to the Rose Bowl
1974: 10-0 heading into Columbus: 12-10 Buckeyes
1975: 8-0-2 and have OSU at home: 21-14 OSU. But good news, the Big 10 now allows other Big 10 teams to go to a bowl. 14-6 Oklahoma over Michigan in the Orange Bowl
1976: Inexplicable 16-14 loss to Purdue, but Michigan finally gets by Ohio State and goes to the Rose Bowl. Oh goody: 14-6 USC
1977: Another dumb conference loss, this one 16-0 to Minnesota. But they beat the Buckeyes and they're back in the Rose Bowl and a huge favorite over 7-4 Washington, so finally Michigan's going to win the Rose Bowl. Oops: 27-20 Washington
1978: This time the conference gag is against MSU but the Wolves beat the Bucks again and are back in the Rose Bowl. Same song, 18th verse: 17-10 USC
1979: Michigan has Devine's worst team in Ann Arbor and the Wolves have already tuned up on Northwestern and it's ND's opener. No matter, Bob Crable blocks a game-winning FG attempt and ND wins 12-10. 8-3 Michigan finally gets an easy bowl opponent, UNC in the Gator Bowl. Thanks for playing Bo: 17-15 UNC.
1980: Finally Michigan wins a Rose Bowl (over Washington). But a 51-yard FG by Harry Oliver beats UM in ND stadium. The next week the stunned Wolves also lose to South Carolina, removing them from NC consideration.
1981: Bo finally beats ND (Faust's 5-6 team) and beats UCLA in a bowl game. The bad news? It's the Bluebonnet Bowl.
1982: Bo gets beat by Faust but still makes it to the Rose Bowl at 8-3 and plays UCLA. UCLA wins of course, 24-14.
1983: Good news: ND's off the schedule for Bo. Bad news, they have to play Washington again and lose 27-25. 9-2 Michigan gets invited to the Sugar Bowl where they lose to Auburn 9-7. Bo has now managed to lose 3 of the then-Big 4 bowls.
1984: Michigan flops around to a 6-5 record and then makes history as the weakest opponent ever in a bowl game for a national championship team as BYU gets by them 24-17 to claim the NC even though BYU would've been a 2-touchdown underdog to either Oklahoma or Nebraska.
1985: A conference loss to Iowa and a tie with Illinois keeps UM out of the Rose Bowl and NC consideration. UM does beat Nebraska in the Fiesta Bowl.
1986: Familiar scene. ND is jobbed by a bad call as the game-winning TD is ruled out of bounds. UM somehow loses to Minnesota in Ann Arbor but still makes it to the Rose Bowl where the Wolves lose 22-15 to ASU. ASU is now the 5th Pac 8 or 10 team to beat Bo's teams in the Rose Bowl.
1987: Lou drills UM 26-7 in Ann Arbor. Michigan suffers 3 more losses to go 8-4.
1988: Gillette's miss allows ND to win 19-17 setting up ND's 12-0 season. UM does finally manage to win the Rose Bowl over USC. ND defeats both participants in the Rose Bowl during the regular season.
1989: Rocket runs back two kickoffs and Michigan loses 24-19. Michigan plays well and wins the next 10 before losing the Rose Bowl to USC. ND beats both participants in the Rose Bowl, again.

And thus concludes Bo's career.

I don’t mind the European expeditions, I actually think they are a great experience for the kids. These #ChudBawlz go above & beyond using it as a marketing ploy though. The whole ‘M’ flags & banners was excessive, especially when Harbrau’s message was about sacrifice and freedom. At the same time it just amazes me how often this ‘team’ continues to make themselves look like shit in the public eye & for that I am extremely grateful :nod:.

The Liberty memorial for Americans killed in WWI is in Kansas City. They didn't have to go to Europe at all if that was the point.

No wonder they wouldn't let him major in history.

Wrong war Jimmy

Dumbass

Meh, "good" is relative even then. They were 8-2 and second in the BIG in 1944. Ohio State, featuring Heisman winner Les Horvath, was 9-0 and finished #2 to an Army team that defeated opponents by margins that made 1995 Nebraska look ordinary. Army had a bit of a recruiting edge in 1944 . . .

2018 NFL Draft was not kind to Michigan

I mean, they finished fourth in the B1G East this season. What did you expect?

The University of Michigan has a proud history of gridiron success. In fact— I don’t know if you’ve heard this before—, they are the winningest program in the history of college football. The prodigious annals of Wolverine football are littered with crowning accomplishments and glorious achievements. The 2018 NFL Draft was neither of those things.

It's never a bad idea to get kids to visit the Normandy beaches where the end of World War 2 began.

With that said, fuck Michigan.

No it isn't.

It is a bad idea, however, to go full Jim Kardashian and make a huge show of you and your kids visiting the memorial instead of just solemnly, quietly paying your respects and reflecting on the sacrifice those brave men made or the hell they faced on that day of days.

That is, to most of us. Not to Jimmy. Not to the M man way of thinking.
What is important to them is that Jimmy is there and those brave men's sacrifice led to such a wonderful invention as Twitter to record Jimmy's being there and to tell us all over and over again about what kind of milk he likes.

Jimmy and Twitter are what's important up north. The D Day memorial is just a place used to remind everyone of that.
