M-Borg vs. THE Flavortown U Thread, Orig. by Buckeye Paul, absconded w/by talent.

[froot loops]

#4 is tough to sustain, its probably even tougher now with the way the conference title game and CFP is there. To that point, Michigan really has had a couple eras where they were consistently a top 10 program. Fritz Crisler's teams leading into the first few years of Oosterbaan. Bo had the 10 year war era and then there is the last years of Bo leading into Moeller.

Carr won that National championship, but his rankings were not consistently in the top 10, he had three years where they ended it as a top 10 team.

Carr's history is much more recent and probably has a lot more relevance to today's environment than the other examples and it's even harder now. Bo's 10 year run in the top 10 included zero bowl wins.

Don't worry OP ....... talent is a dick, an entertaining one, but nonetheless a dick.

The problem for the M crowd here, and what really gets under some of their skins (you excluded because you continue to fuck with him in an excellent way)

Jim Harbaugh is the best thing to hit Michigan since Bo.

I pretty much disagree with your current assessment of Michigan football. Is bad at present, yes, is Harbaugh the man to fix it, you damn right. It will take some time but his professional and college record demonstrates excellence is this regard, besides we have already wasted 7 years under RR & Hoke by blowing hire after hire.

Harbaugh leaving the NFL at twice 2X money to return to his alma mater, makes this program damn lucky.

As for Talent, I've been yanking his chain since he began smearing feces in these threads over a decade ago.

Sit back, watch the turnaround and try to enjoy the season.

I think that Harbaugh is probably a better coach, but we'll see. Carr was definitely a better recruiter -- or at least he was in his prime. He was also a pretty good motivator up until that last year. For the most part though, his teams sucked at Xs and Os and his player development was about average.

Jury's out. I think OP's got it exactly right: enjoy the turnaround. It's coming. Michigan won't be shooting itself in the foot anymore.

Before you know it, M will be back to cranking out 8-4 seasons like a fucking metronome. They're BACK!

[WM Wolverine]

Carr from '97 - '06 was a consistent top 10 program, 8 of 10 years he was ranked in the Final Coaches or AP top 12.

[froot loops]

That's a little lower bar than consistent top 10.

[WM Wolverine]

Very consistent to me, 5 years in top 10, 3 years 11th-12th, 1 year ranked 20th and 1 year unranked.

The resurrected osu sucks big time thread

With Meyer at the helm, now talent understands how Husker fans felt in the 90's.... And why we laughed at you before for thinking OSU was an equal. Now you know..

Can you please help him settle down a bit then? He's gone a bit nuts. He's our Lady MacBeth now.

LC's problem with his 97-06 teams -- other than the bookends -- were September losses. I think 7 of the 8 other seasons featured an early season loss which made M an afterthought in the national conversation. Which, I guess, is par for the past 65 year course.

Agreed. Rarely looked like they came out of the gate prepared, but they did a great job circling the wagons.

The most "in-demand" tickets for the upcoming CFB season: http://www.vividseats.com/blog/ticke...-football-2015

ND tops the list with home games against Texas and USC. Two Ohio State home games top the B10 (MSU, PSU) list. Totally unsurprising. OSU-M is only 16th. I reckon that'll mean the biennial tradition OSU fans getting an O-H-I-O chant going around that craphole stadium will continue.

It's the only explanation. Sucks for you that you can't just sit back and enjoy. That's what I'd be doing.

My posting is the same as was last season and the season before. And the season before that. I enjoy feeding you bitches shit. And the funny thing is, you guys LINE UP for the abuse.

But, hey, the Most Delusional Fanbase will believe what it wants without much regard to facts and reality.
