Michigan

Who’s that, Bill Callahan?

Overall not sure why the Michigan hate...I personally was definitely rooting for Michigan over Florida thugs...why wouldn’t you want your conference to do well?

Don’t think anyone here was rooting for Florida, although I haven’t gone back to reread everything.

When you lose by 26 against a comparable opponent, you will have some people calling you overrated. It’s just a fact.

Cowherd’s take is that Michigan can’t win because of geographic challenges. He’s an idiot

Well Nebraska is a 1000 miles closer to california and Texas...and there is as good of talent in Missouri, Kansas, Colorado, Iowa than there is in indiana, Illinois, Wisconsin. There is a reason that Michigan hasn't had a long stretch of dominance despite the money, stadium, and long history. And they are competing with good schools in State, and OSU..also Wisky in the vicinity. That is why, during our worst stretch in 50 years, we have won as many games as michigan.

Michigan is about to lose big to Florida in its bowl game. After being close to a playoff spot in November, they have collapsed. Not good for Harbaugh.

I'm wondering if it's better not to be in a bowl at all rather than get embrassment like Michigan. With Bowl games since there are no other games at the same time, everybody's Watching. Purdue and Michigan have to be hurt by their bowl performances this year.

Are we starting to see domination by southern conf/ teams? If so how do we fix so teams like, Bama, Clemson, Georgia and the Floridas aren't playing for every NC. So far it seems that is the way we are heading. Over the last 13 year we have had 2 teams win it, not from the south. aka SEC or ACC

If we want to treat it like a professional league and have talk of paying players, etc. then start drafting recruits instead of begging them to consider you.

Yes. Cowherd is an ignorant idiot who likes to cherry pick. Michigan has had fantastic recruiting classes for a while. Even when they were down, they’ve out recruited plenty of the southern and western teams for years. It just makes for good cheap radio talk to say it’s all about location. It’s been more about coaching.
