Eye to the future, honoring the past
Here's what you need to know....
When it comes to certain things, there's numbers that can't be argued against...
I pulled just sheer scores and numbers. Grabbed point differences, average wins, who the coach was, etc, etc...
Came up with some interesting numbers. As you can see, the average margin of victory is two scores for both teams.
You can see how many points were scored in wins and losses.
But the one stat that matters since 2000?
One for Cooper.
One for Tress...
One for Fickell (barely)...
and Urbs is a straight boss.
Bitches....

Some excerpts:
Don't forget about Josh Metellus! That guy was awful. He made Jahsen Wint look like an All American.
You're in Ann Arbor. Of course it's Hell.
The sin of being a Michigan fan. You deserve your pain!
Don't worry! Evil Urban Meyer will continue to torment you!
In the comments after the article, most fans attribute Ohio State's recent overwhelming success in The Game to: (1) extra preparation on Michigan throughout the season; or (2) extra motivation in a rivalry game; or (3) both of the above. That's part of the equation, of course, but Michigan has seemed to be the more prepared (think 2013 and 2016) and/or more motivated (think 2012 and 2017) team at least as often as Ohio State.
One of their posters gets it:
We (sports fans in general, Ohio State fan in particular, and especially this season) like to blame coaching for all the team's failures (actual and perceived). We like to bitch and moan about preparation and motivation and game plans and play calls and clock management and stupid two-point conversions, but most games come down to talent. Ohio State has better talent than Michigan. Period. We have better players overall. We have better players at more positions. We have deeper talent across the board. They have a few guys we'd like to have (but could live without). We've got a whole bunch of guys they'd love to have (and need to become real championship contenders). The recruiting rankings (collectively over any four-year period) prove this. Overall won-loss record proves this. Bowl wins prove this. National championships prove this. It's all about the talent, and we have more than Michigan. A lot more. So much more that Michigan could not out-prepare it, out-motivate it, or out-scheme it.
Look at the speed factor - Parris Campbell, K.J. Hill, Johnnie Dixon running free all day long. Chris Olave - the 7th WR on the depth chart, only playing due to an injury - lighting up Michigan's starting cornerbacks. Mike Weber finding holes and breaking tackles and making huge gains. Michigan had no answer for Ohio State's speed on offense.
Then there's athleticism in the trenches - Chase Young and Dre'Mont Jones and Davon Hamilton blowing up Michigan's offensive line. Malik Harrison being everywhere all at once. Our offensive line manhandling their defensive line, opening holes, keeping the pocket clean.
And of course, the man who makes it all happen, Dwayne Haskins simply dissecting another overrated Michigan defense. Shea Patterson has a reputation. Dwayne Haskins has real talent.

They are true and well broken. If I didn't know better you'd almost think Urban and the Buckeyes were playing possum all year just to set up this beautiful, perfect moment. Much of this year wasn't fun for me and a lot of fans but god damn if last Saturday didn't make it all worth it.

They are too stupid to be broken. Just like their coach.
They'll be running their mouth and have the hype train rolling downhill at 100mph by mid summer.
Watch.

Where is Mecca for whiny, entitled, arrogant cunts?
Paris? They already did that one.
Where else?

What do they have left to hang their hat on? Their recruiting isn't getting any better. Harbaugh finally had a competent QB and the best defense he's ever had. Still got his ass beat. This is way worse than the 2015 drubbing.
Cocytus if that mgoblog article is to be believed.

You really think the same fans who gave us the "Rich Rod QB X is better than Pryor" type of insanity need something real to hang their hat on?
They'll just make some new shit up.
Mississippi Jesus is back and this time he means it. New S & C coach. Some bullshit like that.
Just wait, you'll see.

Well, if the intent is to take those bags of shit to a place they'd likely never otherwise get to visit, I recommend Indianapolis.

Take out the references to JT, and you'd never know which year it was recorded. An L is an L is an L is an L...

I'm partial to this reply:
It's rather satisfying to think that this is even taking the glow off the Cooper years for them.
