There's a guy over on the UW board, ryebadger, who really does not like Michigan at all. A sampling from this week:
Obviously, you are unaware that their running back was a 5 star, the only stat that matters on Mgoblog. if you spent more time there, you'd know to multiply the yards by the number of stars then divide the number of carries by the number of stars to get his MARHA (Mgoblog adjusted recruiting hype average). In reality he ran for like 500 yards on on under 6 carries. MARHA is the magical elixir that lets them forget you could peruse their roster of 4-5 star running back recruits over the last decade or more and not find one who would have started for Wisconsin.
Edit: Lest you doubt MARHA's efficacy, I refer you to an Mgoblog analysis of UW's offensive line a few years ago. Applying MARHA, they concluded UW's offensive line was entering a period of steep decline, driven primarily by the fact that a 2-star transfer was starting. A 2-star! Obviously, MARHA nailed it, based on the dearth of UW O-linemen on NFL rosters, Jonathan Taylor's paltry rushing stats and that the 2-star in question, Ryan Ramczyk, couldn't cut it in big time football.
----------------------------
They are well past that in the weekly cycle. Army and MTSU were quirky games that should have been blowouts if not for this handful of plays. So being unimpressive against huge underdogs isn't telling. Wisconsin has played the worst 2 teams in all of college football. So blowing out two underdogs isn't telling. They have way, way more talent than UW, way better coaching than UW, Don Brown knows how to shut down Taylor and Wisconsin's offense and speed in space with their elite athletes is ready to round into form. They would have won on their last trip to Camp Randall if their QB didn't get hurt, plus they are a way better team than they were then. Last year in Ann Arbor is more indicative of what we'll see this Saturday, because Wisconsin is probably about the same.
It's like the ultimate safe space for grand scale delusion. One can maintain the fantasy they are as talented as Alabama without getting laughed at like they would anywhere else in the world. At the same time, they never have to confront pesky truths, like owning one shared national title since the 1940s, not winning a Big Ten championship since 2004, and having a worse overall record than Wisconsin during the last 20 years. Or 10 years. Or 5 years.

THREAT LEVEL IS FOREVER AMAZED AT THE MICHIGAN MAN'S CAPACITY FOR SELF-DELUSION

Like a yeti or sasquatch, the mythical Michigan Man is a creature that really only exists in the minds of the hopelessly deluded. Michigan Man isn't just a Wolverine fan or former player, it's the embodiment of Mike Hart and Lloyd Carr and Charles Woodson and Bo Schembechler and every cranky Midwestern dad who wants to play The Right Way, but in the form of a coach that actually wins championships.
Michigan football fans only kind of know what that looks like. They'll give you some business about "values" and "character" or whatever, but they're so far removed from relevance and nationally recognized success that they can only describe actual coaching competence like how you'd describe the Loch Ness Monster or the Jersey Devil.
"It was kind of dark, I got a blurry photo, if you look in the corner you can kind of see" blah blah blah whatever dude, we know you just want to win an Alamo Bowl. That's fine. Just don't pretend that chasing unicorns is rooted in anything but fantasy.
Here's some dumb things that happened with Michigan during their bye week.
JOSH GATTIS IS JUST KIND OF OKAY WITH ALL OF THIS
"On drives where we’ve been stopped, we’ve stopped ourselves more than anything,” said the Michigan offensive coordinator, which was extremely accurate but somehow still missing the point.
Gattis seems convinced that Michigan will be good if they stopped being bad, but their chief issue is that being bad is oftentimes the number one obstacle in not being good. From USA Today:
“When you look at it over the past two games, we’ve got seven turnovers – we’ve got seven fumbles,” Gattis said. “We had 10 penalties. And we also had seven drops. You go back and look at all those plays in critical situations – they’re killing us."
Yeah. Sounds bad.
HERE'S SEVERAL HUNDRED WORDS ABOUT THE GREAT INJUSTICE OF MICHIGAN DROPPING ONE SPOT IN THE AP POLL
I'm so, so tired.
THE MICHIGAN WOLVERDOGS
Wisconsin has opened up as a small favorite over Michigan for next weekend, which honestly should only grow as the week goes on. Let this serve as a small reminder that the Badgers have given up zero points in two games, and the Wolverines have given up 42. Michigan is weirdly bad on offense like 75% of the time, and Wisconsin is not. The Badgers have the best running back in the United States, and Michigan has a freshman who is talented but utterly doomed. Should be great!
HERE'S MGOBLOG'S REVIEW OF THE MICHIGAN OFFENSE AGAINST ARMY
It's like 6000 words long. Imagine doing this every week. I'm impressed (in the way you're impressed by watching someone eat a styrofoam plate) and concerned for Brian's health (in the way that you're concerned for someone's health by watching them eat a styrofoam plate).
Michigan is still dumb and boring. They're going to lose to Wisconsin by 30. The Threat Level is GUARDED!

I have misplaced my pants.
Nice. And I'd argue that there should have been 4 seconds on the clock. That one might be a little tough, since I came up with that by pausing the video. A live score-keeper can be given a second to react.
I never noticed that the clock stopped at 3, then went to 2 before stopping again. I remember thinking there should be 1 second left on the clock, though.
Probably a pretty low-probability play from there, but higher than Kordell Stewart to some other guy.
