Why do I hate thee Michigan....let me count the ways...

I hate Michigan because they claim they own the rivalry series with us because they had the best team in the nation in the 50s and 60s!

Michigan fans who claim that are morons. From 1951-1968 they had exactly one Big Ten title (1964), and had seven losing seasons during that timeframe.

I think this about covers it (paraphrased)


Ahab, Captain

"Towards thee I roll, thou all-destroying but unconquering team; to the last I grapple with thee; from hell's heart I stab at thee; for hate's sake I spit my last breath at thee."

... and Ohio State had four national championships (1954, 1957, 1961, 1968)and five Big Ten titles (1954, 1955, 1957, 1961, 1968) during that same period.

Well, I actually don't hate Michigan. Don't get me wrong, I love it when the Buckeyes beat them and I suffer when the tables are turned, but hate?

The school's academic strength adds to the reputation of ALL Big 10 schools. The accomplishments of their alums prove the strength of the school. Think of how Texas, Florida and Vandy feel when compared, academically, to the rest of their conference.

The maize and blue record in football took the national focus off of the Ivy League. They have produced oustanding players and legendary teams. When you beat Michigan it's an accomplishment. Try getting the same satisfaction out of a victory over Iowa or even Penn State.

I like the fact that their uniform goes largely unchanged year after year. Like it or not, it's a trademark, like Yankees in pinstripes. Would you want the Bucks to line up for the season defining game against a team dressed like Oregon or Va Tech?

I love the fact that they have more wins than Notre Dame and I love it when they beat the Irish, something we seldom get the chance to do. (God Bless MSU for this too).

I admire their fight song. By choosing a lower key, the composer created a song that's easy to sing and carries over crowd noise and the other band. I respect their band. Always great arrangements and a distinctive sound of their own that reflects on the excellence and tradition of their school of music.

I want to see my school win and I want to see them win against the best, to be better than a worthy opponent. To that end I have nothing but respect for Michigan and what they bring to the greatest rivalry in college football.

Hey, without them, it's just another Big 10 match up.

Go Bucks!

While I may agree last week and next...

This week...if I knew where Fielding Yost was buried, I'd go piss on his grave.

FUCK M*CH*GAN!

I hate how, now that we're kicking your ass, Michigan State and Notre Dame are actually your biggest "rivals".

scum fans who think/say that are delusional at best. Vloyd didn't get fired because he won back to back against ntre ame in 06 and 07. he certainly didn't get fired because he won almost 10 straight and diet scum.

Captain Ahab has to go hunt his whale - a more comtemporary version. Just think of the "Blue" as the "Borg" invading our space.

"I will make them pay for what they've done"

It's not about revenge...

Well - yes, I actually hate them. This week and every week. Are they respected as opponents? Yes - but still hated for everything from their pompus attitude to their ugly uniforms to their annoying song.

GO BUCKS!!

As much as I agree with most of that from a respect standpoint, I'm still going to have to say [censored] M*CH*G*N! GO BUCKS!
