Hail has spent years telling us he didn’t care about the fact Harbaugh can’t beat OSU then they do it once and he goes on a coke bender posting.

Was fun getting back to Mackey and Ross Ade for games.
My only real take away from what amounted to a couple easy, exhibition type wins was how stupidly big Edey is. Just wild to see how large that dude is in person.

It was never that I don’t care. It’s that I accepted we were a tier below Ohio State. So yes beating them for the first time in 10 years is quite enjoyable.
And I think my response to that win has been pretty mild here all things considered
@Toast. Example ^.
It’s not that beating Ohio State doesnt make me rock hard in my middles. It’s that I’m realistic about where Michigan is/was as a program.
Yesterday’s win was still one of the biggest and most exciting wins in my college sports fandom. I don’t think I have to explain how big it was for Michigan or why I’d be excited about it.
Nice little dig at IU there re the exhibition win. Saw attendance was over 61k which was awesome.
Alright gang, how do we feel about the ACC Challenge this week?
I feel confident in the B1G team in five of the games, with half the matchups appearing to be true toss-ups. Really need to show well in this event to cover up some of the non-con warts that have popped up so far.
Confident in B1G W:
Purdue vs. Florida State
Illinois vs. Notre Dame
Michigan State vs. Louisville
Indiana at Syracuse
Wisconsin at Georgia Tech
Toss-up:
Michigan at UNC (This would be a good get-healthy win for UM after the past two weeks)
Iowa at Virginia
Northwestern at Wake Forest
Penn State vs. Miami
Rutgers vs. Clemson
Maryland vs. Virginia Tech
Minnesota at Pittsburgh (this telecast should come with a parental consent warning)
A win would be a steal:
Ohio State vs. Duke (Kenpom actually has OSU favored, but I disagree with Mr. Pomeroy here)
Nebraska at NC State

I’m more confident in Minnesota beating Pitt than almost any other game in the challenge. I know Minnesota isn’t good but this Pitt team looks to be a historically shitty power 6 team.
You always acted like you were content to just watch Harbaugh assume the position against rivals. Enjoy your that dub. It’s a big deal - has always and will always be very important to Michigan, regardless how hard you hedge and find receipts.
Nice turnout in some ugly-ish weather. Forgot how nice it is to be able to buy booze at purdue games.
Harbaugh is 3-4 against MSU and 1-1 against Notre Dame. We have played those teams fine. Not ideal, but fine.
Ohio State is the rival that we’ve been absolutely pantsed by all decade/century. I’ve accepted Michigan being a top 10-15 level program instead of comparing Michigan to Ohio State.
Win is still worthy of a Coke binge, but I’m not sure if my posts have been on that level. I’m not even sure I’ve reached the “alllll the way back” hype posts Westy had for Sasha last season.
Its ~57k so the 61k is probably a combination of standing room only/beer garden I’d imagine. We had the same exact attendance yesterday that we had for Wisconsin so that must be the absolute max I’d assume.
We tore out the shitty old south end zone bleachers which took capacity from like 67k to a bit over 60k. Still need to do something to fill that space better imo.
Not sure how Ohio State is favored over Duke, Liddell is gonna have to get 30 and 10 to win that one
Lincoln Reilly to SC. OU and UT are so going to regret going to the SEC
Depends if they readjust the divisions.
If Alabama and Auburn move to the East, Texas and Oklahoma will have a chance. Certainly a step up from the Big 12 though
i don’t think the move both of them over to the East, East becomes way too top heavy imo.
Sometimes you can have too many good teams. The SEC made a huge mistake from that standpoint.
They literally need nothing in any sport. It's a good conference
One division will have 2 of Alabama, Georgia, and Oklahoma.
I can’t imagine them splitting Alabama and Auburn unless they do one cross division rival that plays every year.
Nebraska figured that out in the B1G
We’ll see if it hurts the conference more or the new programs
Nebraska and OU lived off cupcakes every year. Until they joined the SWC, they beat up on scabs
The Big Ten is imbalanced, but even if they balance it Michigan and Ohio State will be protected.
Big Ten East went 11-10 vs Big Ten West this year.…same as in 2019. Last year, they played straight up.
East may be heavier at the top but West is deeper.
East has arguably the top 3 teams this year and the West has without a doubt the worst 2 teams in the conference…
Yeah the discussion is about being top heavy. I don’t care about what bottom feeders are better. Iowa win your division and would’ve finished maybe 3rd or 4th in the East. That’s not uncommon.
In 2018 Michigan finished 7-1 with a win on the road against the West champ and the 7-1 West champ made the title game because they avoid Ohio State and played in the weaker division (up top).
Theoretically if Michigan was in the West and lost the cross division game to OSU, they’d still get a rematch in the conference title game. As long as they went undefeated in other games
Big Ten East is better but the only teams I’d be “nervous” to play this year from a talent gap perspective are OSU, UM, & Wisc. Those 3 teams can dominate the trenches & there’s just not much you can do. PSU has recruiting talent but is a severely flawed team, they are as bad of a running team as Purdue & that’s just inexcusable for them IMO. Not much separates their team play from a school like Minnesota other than brand name.
Big ten East isn’t some gauntlet it’s made out to be at times.
