The Sky Banner: Everything that sucks about this fanbase (rant)
So entitled and smug that you would pay plenty of good money just to troll your own coach during what is supposed to be a fun celebration of the program. You want to drive talent away from the program? Because that’s how you drive talent away from the program.
Oh, and talk about being rich, entitled, AND stupid! A critique on the offense during an offseason when Harbaugh handed the keys over to a new OC who will certainly be running a different offense? Get f***ed, you pathetic troll!
Rant over. Feel free to delete.
Do you maybe want to clue people in as to wtf you're talking about?
For those who don’t know: somebody had one of those flying advertising planes fly over the big house Saturday with a sign that said it’s ok to pass on first down (paraphrasing). I never rule out the possibility that this trolling came from another fan base
That's actually pretty funny though. Chill out.
Apologies. I figured it would have been well-known here by now.
LINK.
I dunno Larry.
Silly? Yes.
Waste of somebody else's money? Without question.
Reflective of the fanbase and deserving of outrage?
That's a bridge too far IMO.

Be honest.
Was it you?
Maybe
Drugs are bad mmmkayyyyyy
Lighten up, Francis.
Seriously. I think it's lighthearted and in good fun.
If they wanted to be an asshole, they could have said much worse.
The sky banner was awesome! And you have no idea who paid for it if it was a Michigan fan or not. What’s wrong with the Michigan fan base is those that can’t take those maize and blue glasses off and understand that Michigan has been flawed in a lot of areas on the field and recruiting.
The athletic department has to wake up with how they operate. Yesterday was a joke compared to what was on all day long on tv.
I’m also going to add if a WR recruit is being advised correctly he already knows about what the banner said.
Found the troll.
Entitled f***stick fans: “Michigan needs to completely change its offense!”
/Michigan completely changes its offense
Entitled f***stick fans: “… Doesn’t count! WAAAAH!!!”
anyone that didn't take that as good-natured humor might want to look in the mirror. it was funny and it was obviously not meant with any malice. and like all good humor, there was a kernel of truth to it.
I think it's funny too.
Right on XM....was it a bi-plane?
They could have went for two........
Ok Larry please let us know how the offense is completely changed.
April 14th, 2019 at 10:04 AM ^
Agreed. Let's see some actual games where they don't run Mason on 3rd and short and then again on 4th and short before we proclaim the offense to be cutting edge.
Would also like to see Pony show up against a big time offense, but that's another topic.
April 14th, 2019 at 10:20 AM ^
Well, Mason is on the DL now, so …
April 14th, 2019 at 10:21 AM ^
Still have plenty of TEs to hand off to
April 14th, 2019 at 10:37 AM ^
Do you not get the concept of seeing actual games?
Also, Mason apparently being on defense means they can never actually call a run play into a defense that's waiting for it?
April 14th, 2019 at 10:40 AM ^
Why do I get the feeling that you’d want that to happen just to feed your victim complex?
Are you pretending to be this dense or are you actually mildly retarded?
"mentally challenged" come on

So the "problem" with the FAN base is that they root for their players, sometimes even to irrational FANatic levels, sometimes even when they haven't beaten their "rivals" in decades because that's what FANS do, and we all need to be wearing microscopes to dissect every little thing?
Lemme guess, you also go around telling 6 year olds Santa ain't real.
The real annoyance of you concern trolls is that you act oblivious to all the improvements made in the last four years, plus the fact that anyone who thought this program was gonna catchup to OSU in four years is an imbecile.
April 14th, 2019 at 11:07 AM ^
Oh goodness you are a “more time” guy. You probably are also a “Look how long it took Dabo” guy too. As if any of it has to do with each other.
You are right there are improvements from Hoke. Michigan no longer loses to Rutgers.
But let’s take a deeper dive into the above. Jim has been given more resources to succeed than any other Michigan coach combined. Coaching salary for assistants, a football building full of analysts, and a support staff that includes photographers and edit guys. In the last 4 years he has done what most Michigan teams have done in my lifetime and that’s lose 3 games a year and lose the bowl game.
He was brought here to go above the Michigan norm. He has had plenty of time to do it. This he needs more time excuse has run thin on a lot of people. Get the job done
April 14th, 2019 at 11:29 AM ^
You said: "....4 years ...... what most Michigan teams have done ..."
So he erased the RR/Hoke nightmare and is addressing the "offense behind the times" in two years (cuz yeah manball still seemed ok in '16 in the fan base) and brings in speed in space but somehow it hasn't been QUICK enough?
Now who's delusional?
April 14th, 2019 at 11:54 AM ^
This speed in space as said before is a wait and see if this is the case. It’s just as likely, as every other Michigan coach has done, hand Gattis the playbook and make it work.
Gattis has said himself all he is doing is tweeking some stuff. IMO this offense won’t be drastically different from what we have seen and it still will be a predominately run heavy offense. Oh and we will continually be cautious and play for 3.
How does your lack of faith, which disturbs me, negate the fact they are obviously addressing the lack of a dynamic offense.
Are you offering us the ability to trade intelligence for wealth? That is a tough question. I think I could handle giving up 10 iq for a billion dollars.
what are we talking about again?
dilly dilly is real funny. I like beer
April 14th, 2019 at 10:15 AM ^
Not sure you interpreted my post correctly.
Thank you for this!
AGREED, but also lol at how stupid you have to be to spend money on that. Laughing at the person who did it mitigated how annoying it was for me.
So the whole fan base sucks because one person paid for a stupid banner?
April 14th, 2019 at 10:44 AM ^
Most of the schools that pay for banners eventually have to take them down...
LOOKING AT YOU LOUISVILLE
You really think a recruit would not choose Michigan because some person spent a lot of money on a sky banner telling Harbaugh it’s ok to pass the ball on 1st down? Lol.
Call me crazy, but im more worried about driving talent away because of OSU kicking our ass for the last 20 years.
^^^^ the voice of reason....
April 14th, 2019 at 11:35 AM ^
The one logical poster full of a bunch of stupid emotion and feelings.
Yes, no doubt those recruits will be driven to a school with a fanbase that doesn't complain about their team's performance, and never criticizes their coaches or players. Wherever that is.
It’s called self deprecation. A little humor....Jim hired a guy to fix it, so get off your high horse. That its not your type of humor is fine, but maybe you should not get enraged by someone having a little fun. Chill the fuck out.
April 14th, 2019 at 10:45 AM ^
"Hey you down in front, SIT DOWN. Standing is unacceptable."
-Larry at football games, probably
The only issue I have with it is thinking about the douche bag that would do something like this giggling about it and thinking how awesome he is.
"Dear, I just balanced our checkbook and discovered an extra $5,000 I didn't know that we had. You know that dream vacation you've always wanted to take to Hawaii?"
"Yes! Are we going to Hawaii?!"
"No. I've thought of something much more important!"
It is a very richie rich way to spend good money that could go to a million better causes, but I am pretty sure it was supposed to be funny--with a bit of actual frustration thrown in--not an aggressive Harbaugh takedown. Even if it was, I can think of about 9 million reasons Harbaugh should be able to handle it.
Do you want to change the culture? #WIN
I (lifelong fan, 7 yr. usher) was standing at Gate 10 with the supervior at Gate 10 (lifelong fan, 35+ yr usher/supervisor) and we both found it fairly amusing and a waste of money, enough said. Your panties need to get unbunched. If I was a recruit I would think someone has a lot of money to state their opinion and then wonder what was being served for dinner---Satchel's BBQ or Zingerman's sandwiches?
I thought it was kinda funny
