Game Day is in Ann Arbor this morning, and I watched just a few minutes of it before going out to work in the yard. They, of course, were talking about Michigan's rich history, and how Harbaugh has turned the team around and they are poised for national prominence once again.

They were talking about what their record was in the last few years (can't remember what ... maybe 2008 til now or so) and one of things they splashed on the screen with the record said "Same as Mississippi State", as if that was absolutely the dregs to compare to. Not sure why they chose us to compare to, but perhaps it was because the last time we met we blew them out of the water. They failed to mention that during that time Michigan had played a Big 10 schedule and we played in the SEC West, the most dominant conference and division in the nation for several years.

It was since 2006, and they had another stat and compared it with someone else too. Didn't really take it as a slight. Can't argue with records.

Maybe ... as I said, I went outside. But why compare to us? Were the records identical? It was a slight.

Desmond Howard looked out of it today - Looked like he was playing pocket pool every time they mentioned Michigan.

They showed total wins and losses and compared it to someone with an identical record and then showed the conference record and "the same as Mississippi State." It was 2006- and if we're including any part of the Croom era I really can't get defensive about it. Michigan should never have an identical record to Mississippi State, especially when it includes Croom.
