National brand fame and recognition vs. Winning
Its obvious that Michigan is an international brand accompanied by the fame and notoriety that come with it. We are on top of the world in that regard, and that much is beyond reproach.
Question is, would you trade program fame and prominence for winning championships? I wouldn't.
I couldn't imagine how humiliating it must be if we were a national unknown and people outside of Michigan didn't even recognize our brand?! Think how embarrassing it must be to wear an MSU shirt outside Michigan and not have anyone recognize you like that 3rd rate program in East Landfill. Who cares about their meaningless multiple Big Ten Championships and CFP appearance recently if your program fame is so shitty you cant garner attention from strangers outside of Michigan!
I personally would rather be famous and well known rather than just another team that may have won a couple lucky championships lately. Our fame and prominence is what makes us relevant. We have won enough in the past that winning now isn't really a huge issue, and is secondary to the fact that any UM fan anywhere is recognizable worldwide- I wouldn't trade that recognition, fame and prominence for anything! GO BLUE!

Shut up
November 14th, 2019 at 1:13 PM ^
Thanks for sharing
November 14th, 2019 at 1:16 PM ^
Cut the "we" bullshit. Everyone knows what you are.
November 14th, 2019 at 1:18 PM ^
Enjoy being an unknown - you'll fit right in in East Landfill!

Why are you the way that you are? Not enough hugs? Burn scars from the couch you were sleeping on make you bitter? Or did you not get what you were expecting when you reached in your cooler for a cold beverage?

Thank God for the troll cave extension
November 14th, 2019 at 10:23 PM ^
November 14th, 2019 at 1:33 PM ^
Ah yes....now it makes sense. Another OSU douche bag.
EDIT: Look at the loser OP's post history. Lots of shit dripping with sarcasm. Clearly an OSU asshole who needs to be banned.
November 14th, 2019 at 3:52 PM ^
Strikes me more as MSU.
November 14th, 2019 at 1:16 PM ^
Swing and a miss.
November 14th, 2019 at 1:20 PM ^
I personally would prefer not to have shit threads posted.
November 14th, 2019 at 1:22 PM ^
Oh, for those of you that think we have to win 11+ games and/or championships to be relevant - you might want to take a quick history lesson to educate yourself on the winningnest football program in history.
November 14th, 2019 at 3:28 PM ^
THEEEEEEEEE University of Michigan is more than a football team. It's not like we're OSU or something!
November 14th, 2019 at 7:30 PM ^
Troll, don’t you have better things to do, like get a job and move out of your mothers basement? You know that going to one semester of OSU won’t qualify you to be a fry cook at McDonald’s, but don’t give up on your dreams man... By the way, there is only one “E” in “The”. They must of taught that in the second semester at OSU that you missed....
November 14th, 2019 at 1:25 PM ^
Michigan is not a "brand." It's a university.
Stop it.
November 14th, 2019 at 1:25 PM ^
Some of you are like the kid that gets way to excited at a birthday party and says something really stupid and it just get super awkward, then everyone looks at you and thinks “uhhhh...okay”.
November 14th, 2019 at 1:32 PM ^
You're absolutely stupid if you would not want winning more than anything else. What is the point of playing if you're not gunning for trophies?
November 14th, 2019 at 1:56 PM ^
Give it 3 years once players can profit and you will start to see that the schools with fame and recognition start getting all the 5 stars.
Michigan, Notre Dame, and Texas are more famous worldwide than OSU and Bama and will bring more marketing money. prove me wrong
November 14th, 2019 at 3:23 PM ^
Bama is national "brand" now. 10 years of dominance builds a pretty big bandwagon.
November 14th, 2019 at 1:56 PM ^
I can’t tell if this is an OSU or MSU troll. So at least the OP has that going for them.
November 14th, 2019 at 3:36 PM ^
MSU is a worse brand and the losey more than UM. Gotta be OSU.
November 14th, 2019 at 7:24 PM ^
The Trolls are coming out... is someone chumming the water or what?!
November 14th, 2019 at 1:58 PM ^
Is it game day yet?
November 14th, 2019 at 5:23 PM ^
How's your spartiegirl crush, Pony? Are you going to be her conquerer Saturday?
November 15th, 2019 at 10:34 AM ^
You’ll see.
November 14th, 2019 at 2:04 PM ^
Okay, I'll bite.
MSU won multiple BIG titles, went to a CFP, and despite that has played .500 ball for the last 4 seasons. This all under the SAME coach, who happens to be the winningest coach in their history. So while you mock our fan base and program, there isn't an objective person in the world that would take the current situation at MSU over that at UM.
Talking about what your program did while your PED using MLB was a senior in high school is,ironically, living in the past. Hope you feel better now.
November 14th, 2019 at 2:21 PM ^
MSU wishes they were us - no idea what you're on about.
November 14th, 2019 at 2:26 PM ^
Just curious... what degree did you acquire?
November 14th, 2019 at 2:39 PM ^
i found his graduation picture....
November 14th, 2019 at 4:09 PM ^
Packaging. That's MSU's only degree program.
November 14th, 2019 at 2:33 PM ^
It could be worse, we could have one of our best teams in school history and still troll a rival's blog
November 14th, 2019 at 2:38 PM ^
Win the game.
November 14th, 2019 at 2:48 PM ^
what is it about this week and these posts.........
November 14th, 2019 at 3:48 PM ^
This may well be the stupidest post in the history of this blog.
November 14th, 2019 at 3:52 PM ^
I'm logging out for the day. Anybody else had their fill?
November 14th, 2019 at 3:53 PM ^
Weak.
I have been on the internet for decades. This is a pretty weak troll.
November 14th, 2019 at 5:30 PM ^
I read this start to finish. This is.....stupid.
No offense to the OP.
November 14th, 2019 at 7:17 PM ^
Logged In just to Neg Post... Bye Felicia...
November 14th, 2019 at 7:37 PM ^
You Sir, are an ass-face. The fact that winnng isn’t important to you makes me dislike you. We could never be friends.
November 14th, 2019 at 10:15 PM ^
It is not a one or the other thing.
you know...Michigan can be both.
It’s a silly argument to say that Michigan isn’t winning because it plays by the rules and tries to be better.
proof?
Talk to the student athletes..ask them if they ever get the handshakes. If they are honest, they will tel you Heard it multiple times
the only time people post here about their pride in Michigan academics is when Michigan loses to ‘cooler poopers’ and ‘cousin f@ckers’
lets be honest...99% of the posts here are about Michigan sports teams (or Michigan’s rivals).
thats why we are all here...to talk sports.
be better.
