More bad news..... ( not really bad, just sad) ND related
I believe yesterday's win by ND and M's loss gave ND the all time winningest % in CFP.
This was pointed out by some of my friendly Domer friends here in Chicago.
I was than less than kind in my response, but I did promise them we would take the trophy back next year in South Bend.
God I hate ND.

I’ll make sure to update my resume.
January 2nd, 2018 at 12:37 PM ^
FUCK Notre Dame!!
January 2nd, 2018 at 1:18 PM ^
You're so cool, Abe.
January 2nd, 2018 at 1:30 PM ^
Um ok... thanks?
January 2nd, 2018 at 3:14 PM ^
Is he another WD personality? You seem to be the expert at sniffing these things out. I have to agree, 2 weeks into the Honest Abe era and I've already gotten tired of him.
January 2nd, 2018 at 3:25 PM ^
Tired of me? Ok Mr. Booth.
January 2nd, 2018 at 12:35 PM ^
Frankly, we’ve got far bigger fish to fry at the moment.
January 2nd, 2018 at 12:40 PM ^
Bigger fish to fry than winning?
January 2nd, 2018 at 12:47 PM ^
Yeah. Harbaugh caught a nice, big tuna after the game. Even Bench Mason couldn’t lift it off the boat.
January 2nd, 2018 at 12:59 PM ^
Jim McElwain did, and proceeded to fuck it.
January 2nd, 2018 at 1:20 PM ^
He's on to tuna now? No pun intended
January 2nd, 2018 at 1:21 PM ^
double post
January 2nd, 2018 at 4:41 PM ^
This is a completely appropriate post. The timing is perfect as it ties the low point of Michigan's season (now) to the high point (the Florida victory when we thought it meant something) and reminds us that at least we were better than Florida!
January 2nd, 2018 at 1:58 PM ^
Why on earth would you fry tuna?
January 2nd, 2018 at 12:37 PM ^
You're wrong. They aren't even close to #2 anymore after vacating 2012 and 2013.
January 2nd, 2018 at 12:40 PM ^
I thought I read that they are keeping the wins until the appeal is done, which will probably be never considering how the NCAA deals with things.
January 2nd, 2018 at 2:03 PM ^
Update Kelly's wikipedia page too.
January 2nd, 2018 at 2:07 PM ^
You’ll need to update Tommy Rees’ as well.
January 2nd, 2018 at 2:54 PM ^
Not all heroes wear capes
January 2nd, 2018 at 12:37 PM ^
To hell with Notre Dame.
January 2nd, 2018 at 12:38 PM ^
Get new friends
January 2nd, 2018 at 12:40 PM ^
Only if they conveniently forget about their vacated wins due to academic fraud/misconduct.
January 2nd, 2018 at 12:44 PM ^
Good thing (or possibly not a good thing) we have an opportunity to do something about that on September 1st, 2018
January 2nd, 2018 at 12:44 PM ^
Settle it on the field.
January 2nd, 2018 at 12:46 PM ^
These are the last little nuggets Michigan needs to be touting at the moment. None of that matters looking back at the last 15 years of football.
January 2nd, 2018 at 12:47 PM ^
Oh thank God I thought that this was going to impact the game at all
January 2nd, 2018 at 12:48 PM ^
This happened a couple years ago too. Wen still have more wins. And that'll change when we beat them next year
January 2nd, 2018 at 12:49 PM ^
This mentality is what’s wrong with the fan base. Who cares. The truth is the majority of wins were when no more ne knew what football was.
January 2nd, 2018 at 1:26 PM ^
This is only said by millenials who don't remember anything beyond the last 20-30 years or programs that only recently found relevance and try to de-legitimize the times when they were not important. Do you honestly believe that in the 1890s, 1900s, 10s, 20s, and 30s football was not important and massively competitive? Do you think ND, UM, Bama, Stanford, Army, Navy or any of the other programs that were around then agree that this period was not relevant? Just because some of the rules have changed and some of the big fish are different now doesn't mean that this was some period of cupcake football. If that is what you believe, you may as well stick with a manufactured product like the NFL, which is the "epitome of football and always has and will be" (and anyone who disagrees is clearly an amateur who doesn't know what they're saying).
January 2nd, 2018 at 2:00 PM ^
Not a millennial. Borderline baby boomer, actually. It may have been competitive and it mattered at the moment, I’d assume. Maintaining the winningest title means zero. If I’m Bama or OSU, why not start the winningest program in this century? They wouldn’t because no one cares. Caring about it is the fan bases little brother inferiority complex.
January 2nd, 2018 at 2:25 PM ^
imo is records in Big 10 play.
January 2nd, 2018 at 5:31 PM ^
In that case OSU would be ahead of us
January 2nd, 2018 at 2:39 PM ^
Amen, crg. I've never understood the "who cares/it doesn't matter" argument when it comes to Michigan's great football history. In fact, you could make a strong case that college football was even more culturally relevant for much/most of the 20th century than it is now. Only professional baseball was comparative. College football was far more popular than the NFL; the NBA (outside of Boston) was relatively small potatoes; and the NHL was still an entity with a very small number of franchises.
The mentality of "only the present matters" is ignorant and offensive (to those who proudly represented the Maize and Blue on the gridiron).
January 2nd, 2018 at 1:32 PM ^
The entire fanbase? If you consider yourself intelligent, don’t!
January 2nd, 2018 at 1:52 PM ^
I assume you did, IQ. What did they say? This matters? I’d suggest that it would say it does. This is why it’s sad.
January 2nd, 2018 at 2:42 PM ^
I️ was just saying that I️ don’t think we all think the same way! Honestly, I️ never bring this ish up because like you I’m sick of the past accolades. At this point and time I’m trying to justify paying my dues for next years games! I️ guess I’ll always hope for the best, forgetting the past! GO BLUE, FOREVER!
January 2nd, 2018 at 2:55 PM ^
Period.
To act as if none of it matters cheapens the sport as a whole, and strikes at the heart of why most people watch.
Personally if we are going to disqualify the history and lore surrounding the game, im ready to check out. Its the romanticising of the past that makes the game meaningful.
Its the same with MLB and the records. Take the records out of the game, and it loses alot of its meaning, and appeal.

Why wouldn't the history of our program matter to us?
That's just a dumb take. Of course it matters. The history of the program is a huge part of why we love it in the first place.
It's certainly true that the teams over the past 20 years or so haven't generally upheld that level of historic excellence, but that recent mediocrity doesn't erase the identity of the program.
January 2nd, 2018 at 12:50 PM ^
For a second there I thought that Michigan played so bad that Notre Dame already kicked our ass in the coming September game.
January 2nd, 2018 at 12:50 PM ^
The most meaningless thing I'heard or read all day......
January 2nd, 2018 at 12:52 PM ^
How is that possible when we were in front of them last year and they went on to win 4 games and we won 10 and this year they won 10 and we won 8
January 2nd, 2018 at 12:52 PM ^
Take all the coaches to the airport with one way tickets.
January 2nd, 2018 at 12:54 PM ^
Two "has-been" programs trading petty insults with each other while the rest of the college football world has passed them by.
The living in the past continues....
January 2nd, 2018 at 12:56 PM ^
Oh good. Now I get to hear about this stupid bit of trivia next year as well.
January 2nd, 2018 at 12:56 PM ^
Honestly, we are too far from solid in the moment to hang our hat on that..just sounds desperate and like a coping tool.
January 2nd, 2018 at 12:56 PM ^
Garbage post title.
