Thanks for the working link.
Still not completely sure how to set them up successfully.
October 21st, 2018 at 5:55 PM ^
I see heart palpitations on the horizon!!!
October 21st, 2018 at 6:21 PM ^
And maybe some Ohio State cheerleaders for good measure!
October 21st, 2018 at 6:42 PM ^
I'm sorry Sparty didn't get an honorable mention.
October 21st, 2018 at 7:54 PM ^
Nobody outside of the state of Michigan gives a fuck about that school.
October 21st, 2018 at 8:26 PM ^
The article mentioned Indiana, Kansas and Western Kentucky. How much national interest is there in those schools?
October 21st, 2018 at 8:46 PM ^
More than MSU apparently.
October 21st, 2018 at 6:57 PM ^
Even with their misery over last night's game, it's not enough misery for what that fan base truly deserves.
October 21st, 2018 at 7:11 PM ^
They need at least 10 years of desert wandering...40 years would be better
October 21st, 2018 at 7:30 PM ^
I was saying the same last night. No fanbase deserves it for a decade than them.
October 21st, 2018 at 8:53 PM ^
If the Horseshoe fell into a gigantic sinkhole it wouldn’t be enough misery for what they deserve
October 21st, 2018 at 6:59 PM ^
This is the paragraph that really nailed it:
The root of the meme, though, is this: Meyer is particularly and singularly unlikable. Even before the off-field drama this preseason against former receivers coach Zach Smith that led to Meyer being suspended, investigated over what he knew about domestic abuse allegations and ultimately reinstated, Meyer was not popular either among his peers or college football fans outside of Ohio.
October 21st, 2018 at 7:29 PM ^
Harsh but true. And OSU fans hated him along with everyone else before he came there.
Think about this: the man won two national championships at Florida (of the three in their history), and yet he is absolutely loathed over there. Contrast that to fans of Stanford or the 49ers who still hold Harbaugh in high esteem.
October 21st, 2018 at 7:44 PM ^
Buckeye fans hate when you point out how they felt about Urban while he was at Florida. That it was his sleeziness, not the winning we all (they included) couldn't stand.
October 21st, 2018 at 7:31 PM ^
Yup. The author discovered something that I didn't really even notice during the August drama, that Meyer is really the most hated coach in the country. Even Saban, Swinney, and a few others have some redeeming qualities. But literally everyone is happy when OSU loses.
Dantonio would probably be close if anyone outside of Michigan actually cared about the MSU program.
October 21st, 2018 at 7:19 PM ^
Speaking of that fan base, boy am I looking forward to gerdeman’s article this week
October 21st, 2018 at 7:31 PM ^
He the Michigan Monday guy?
October 21st, 2018 at 8:20 PM ^
I’ll be impressed if he even writes it this week.
October 21st, 2018 at 8:53 PM ^
My thoughts exactly.
October 21st, 2018 at 7:35 PM ^
They deserve to be miserable. Every last one of them.
October 21st, 2018 at 7:45 PM ^
Lol funny thing is, we just need osu to lose one more game while we take care of business and the east will be ours before even playin the buckeyes! What a glorious weekend!!
October 21st, 2018 at 8:19 PM ^
They will lose one more at the end of November.
October 21st, 2018 at 8:35 PM ^
It's better for our chances to get to the CFP if they win out until November 24th. We should also be hoping that Iowa goes undefeated until the B1G Championship game. While I'm at it, I hope Sparty loses every game the rest of the year.
October 21st, 2018 at 8:56 PM ^
I honestly think Michigan needs no help (in conference, or around the country) in making the playoff. Win out and we're in. Especially if we continue to dominate teams along the way.
October 21st, 2018 at 11:33 PM ^
What happens if one-loss GA beats Alabama in the SEC championship?
October 22nd, 2018 at 2:05 AM ^
If Bama loses that game it's possible the committee let's Bama in again anyway. But I think they would have to be aware that it would cause a massive uproar.
October 21st, 2018 at 10:32 PM ^
Better for them to look awesome and score a million points each game. We need to beat OSU when there's zero excuses from their shit eating fan base.
October 21st, 2018 at 7:46 PM ^

Perfect.
October 21st, 2018 at 9:22 PM ^
meyer told his team that they need to forget about Saturday and move on to next week. If they are having a hard time forgetting about Saturday, he has a prescription that might help.
October 21st, 2018 at 10:33 PM ^
They definitely need to delete all texts discussing that game.
October 21st, 2018 at 10:56 PM ^
OSU looked great while Meyer was suspended. I suspect he is the type of guy who is tiring to be around and that the players get tired of his bs.
October 22nd, 2018 at 2:06 AM ^
Not defensively they didn't.
