I'M SORRY! UofM Finished 11th in final Director's Cup finals. I'm here to take my negs.

Fire Warde

You're an absolute monster and need to hand in your U of M fan card immediately! Darn right you'll take your negs. If you were just a human being your mistake would be forgivable but you're a monster. Shame on you!

Well, they did win 13 B1G championships-out of the 27 sports they participate in. Pretty incredible.

Upvoted for applying the concept of extreme ownership.

Enjoy Bolivia

You jinxed us!

After looking at the top 10 list, I'm surprised that USC only has 19 top ten finishes, They just seem to excel in everything

Did you XM’s permission to use his “Mates” greeting?

Ohhh the horror...... horror

( doesn't know how to add a meme on mgoblog but visualizes Marlon Brando from Apocalypse Now)

It’s dumb we’re 6th in top 10 finishes, won 13 conference titles, and we finish 11th overall

rigged 

The OP begs for a masochistic negbang, and all I see are upvotes.   MGoBlog is getting soft.

Understanding Directors Cup scoring, an excerpt from Wikipedia. 

"

• NCAA Division I: Counts top 19 sports at each school with the following breakdowns:[4]
  • Four of which must be baseball, men's basketball, women's basketball and women's volleyball
  • The next highest 15 sports scored for each institution, regardless of gender, will be used in the standings (except men's water polo)[a]
  • For FBS Football: the top 25 teams are awarded points based on their final rank in the Coaches Poll. 26th place is considered a tie between every non-ranked bowl winner, and the next available rank is considered a tie between every non-ranked bowl loser." 

"The scoring structure has been criticized for several reasons, especially due to the number of sports counted per division. Although the number of sports counted in the scoring is based on the average number of sports sponsored by a team in that division, certain schools offer many more or many fewer sports than that. For example, Stanford's dominance at the Division I level is partially attributable to them sponsoring 36 sports teams (of which 31 are NCAA sports), the most in Division I outside of the Ivy League, which does not grant athletic scholarships, and Ohio State, which sponsors 37 sports teams (of which 32 are NCAA sports). This gives Stanford more opportunities to win titles than most other schools, especially considering that some of the sports Stanford sponsors are not played by very many other schools (5 out of 31 have championship fields under 20 teams), all but guaranteeing a substantial number of points for the few schools that do (NACDA awards significantly fewer points for teams that finish lower than fourth in sports with less competition, but the top four teams (except in 8-team and 4-team bracket sports) always receive 100, 90, 85, and 80 points respectively). It should be noted, however, that Ohio State, which sponsors teams in more NCAA sports than Stanford (5 of which, like Stanford, have championship fields under 20 teams) has never won the Cup."

11th?!?!?

The end is near! Why can't we have nice things? Something may have happened to Keith Jackson. BPONE!!!!

Um, I guess this is something to care about. 

I suppose our top 10 finishes more than makes up for losing this cup thing. 

OP, you go to the box, you know, two minutes, by yourself, and you feel shame. And then you get free.

Is michigan the only school listed that’s north of the Mason Dixon line?

Everyone makes mistakes.

. . . which gives me gleeful opportunities to judge the crap out of others.

Buuuut. . . I really don't think you're culpable for Michigan's finish.  I ain't gonna neg you for that.

INSTEAD I'll neg you for listing a top ten, and then going eleven deep.  Count!  We go to school, to school, here!

Worst finish since 2014-15.  

What the hell am I gonna do with my life now?

So distraught I posted twice. 

In accordance with your wishes - and the obvious jinx - I negged you.

But then I upvoted you for having the honesty and courage to come back and remind everyone of your stoopid boasting and arrogant remarks, and then ask for a negbang because of it.  Such honor and integrity is rarely seen in the pompously boisterous among us.

Thanks, Warde.

I'm hopelessly confused.  Do I neg you for this?  In that case, aren't I acquiescing to your advice?  Giving you want you want would seem to be an affirmation.  On the other hand, if I upvote you, aren't I then ratifying the whole post, in which case, I would be saying that yes, when people make mistakes they should be punished, but my punishment would be an upvote?  Can we just agree that in the future to avoid such self-referential issues we refrain from referring to ourselves in posts?  But, this post referenced myself.  Ahh!  Logic is stupid.

It's insane to me that Stanford keeps figuring out a way to winning this cup despite fielding just awful football and basketball teams more often than not recently.

It’s like 10 but one higher
