It is, they make the B10 look competent mostly by themselves with a little help from Wisconsin and Sparty.

I guess I'll post it here since the bitch moderators are now DELETING posts specifically in response to posts made by M fans as "off topic."
UFM has won more national titles in 9 seasons than M has in the entire poll era. Michigan has to go back to 1933 to match UFM's 3 titles. Sure, M won a few before the Great War. As did Yale. Hell, Yale has 18 or something. So, WingsFans, sure, M has 11 or whatever. Not as many as Yale. Both programs have been roughly as successful in the past 80 seasons of the poll era. Neither is in the same ballpark as Ohio State. Just the facts.
In fact, since 1900 Ohio State has the highest winning percentage of any team in CFB. They started a little later than M, so M padded it's numbers in the 1880s and 1890s, but since the turn of last century, OSU > M. Further, OSU now has a winning record against M in conference games. Again, congrats to M on bludgeoning OSU's emerging program prior to OSU joining the Western Conference.Dan Patrick: What was your reaction to [Urban Meyer being hired]?

I guess the most "recent" season you can do "all-time" winning percentage and get M ahead of Ohio State is 1896. Thanks to the infernal "vacated" wins of 2010. Should be 1895 or 1894.Dan Patrick: What was your reaction to [Urban Meyer being hired]?

OSU Spring game summary: 99,300 or so in attendance. I guess that's some sort of record.
In addition to Borland, Jack Wohlabaugh committed. He is an OL. I think his dad played for M or something. Seems like a Plan B for losing Eichenberg tonight. Marcus Williamson in the class of 2017 also committed. Zero surprise.Dan Patrick: What was your reaction to [Urban Meyer being hired]?

Another interesting thing....Ohio State could have up to 7 first round picks next season barring disastrous injury. Bosa is an obvious top 5 pick. Elliot should be a late 1st round pick. Cardale could easily get into the 1st round. Darron Lee, IMO, could go really high. Vonn Bell, I think, will play himself into the first round. Taylor Decker was a 2nd/3rd pick this year. And I think Michael Thomas could end up being fantastic.
I'd set O/U at 5.5 for first round picks.Dan Patrick: What was your reaction to [Urban Meyer being hired]?

Wohlabaugh's dad played for Syracuse...
btw, any M fan who thinks that M is even swimming in the same pool at OSU is delusional. Urbz has been at OSU for three years now, and won a national title. He went undefeated another year. He has lost THREE GAMES total in those three years. For comparison's sake M has lost three games to Urbz alone.
You can say Urbz is a cheater (although there's not much proof). You can say his program is out of control (but it seems to me that M has had more off the field issues). You can say that his methods are unethical (Weber and the guy that just got cut are some proof of that), but Harbaugh is currently oversigned on scholly's...
OSU is currently the most dominant program in the NCAA, and M is currently a third or fourth tier program. I'm hopeful that Harbaugh will turn it around, but as it currently stands, I think its undeniable that OSU is a much better football program than M.
Now I'm off to puke!To be a professional means that you don't die. - Takeru "the Tsunami" Kobayashi

Gotta love Michigan football history. The legendary 1885 season is an outstanding example. Not only did the heroic Wolverines manage to conquer Windsor Club TWICE (once under Canadian rules), they also soundly thrashed the arrogant Peninsular Cricket Club 42-0!
Michigan Men feel those victories should be cherished and valued every bit as much as, say, a win last year. That's why the entire nation admires and respects Michigan Men so very much.

Now I'm off to puke!Mission to CFB's National Championship accomplished. But the shine on the NC Trophy is embarrassingly wearing off. It's M B-Ball ..... or hockey or volley ball or name your college sport favorite time ...... until next year.

Meet Horace Greely Prettyman
[ame="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Horace_Greely_Prettyman"]Horace Greely Prettyman - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia[/ame]
Three-time Captain and perhaps Michigan's greatest player of the 1880's. He won an outstanding eight varsity letters! Yes, EIGHT! How did Horace manage to stay in school all those years?? Well, he didn't! He continued playing for the football team long after he'd graduated. Until he was 31 in fact!
You see, back then, Michigan was basically a semi-pro team. There were no rules about who could participate and Michigan did not shy way from hiring, paying, and recruiting any bruiser they could find in order to win!
