    They'll be fine Creep. Legacy program with better access to 'croots than Nebraska.


    Which is really the kiss of deaf: when your fan base doesn't really care.

    That's why the single most important factor in UW's turnaround was the REFUSAL of the base that remembered DJ and Husky Tuff! football to cave into "Yeah, but we're an academis school now" tolerance for shit football.

    The fact that Todd Turdner was rejected for trying that shit was what gave Washington hope. There was a Trump-like reaction to the increasingly soft af, "soccer is great, Seattle has more PhDs than you do" crowd at UW that didn't give a shit where the medical school was ranked or that the Husky women's softball team won the title. We want football to win now damn it. W/o that you have no new stadium and you have no Peterman.

    If Michigan cares moar about the Ross School of Bidness than winning the big gayme, then they are forever sunk and will never win with any consistency ever again.

    Tell me I'm wrong.
    As the smartest poaster on our boreds @AUBURNTROJAN would say, Michigan, still has it in terms of MONEY, TRADITION, and LOCATION. Therefore as long as the institution still thinks and cares about football they will be OK in the long run. But as we know, it's better to be lucky than good some tims. The Harbaugh hire is proof the school cares about competing for titles and should have been a slam dunk. Bad luck here and the Urban Meyer factor.

    Petersen saved UW football, but we also benefitted from some extremely good fortune in our rapid ascent back to relevance- i.e., Helfrich, Sark, Clay Helton, etc.
    strong poast, strong poaster.

    Historically speaking, Michigan still stacks up pretty well against tOSU. Until Tressell got there and whooped your Caribbean arse, the Buckeyes were on a 34 year NT drought. If Bo hadn't sucked at winning NT's, Michigan might be closer to being in the Mt Rushmore alternate in waiting spot.

    Womp. Christ.

    Ohio State, LSU, Bama, USC (historically), Miami, Florida State, most of the SEC don't have money. Texas, ND, Stanford, Michigan and Northwestern have $$. I'm not seeing the importance of that variable.

    Location. Many programs are in much better locations nearer to fertile recruiting grounds.

    Tradition. That's the point of my poast. Only lasts so long. As evidenced by Michigan's drought.

    That's a lot of ifs in your poast. My aunt and my uncle are different people. Nuff said on that.

    He didnt' whip anybody. He was gifted a title on a bad call.

    Really disappointed in your effert here. I've come to expect moar.

    Michigan was decent in 2016. Went 10-3, spent the entire year in the top 10, lost to FSU in the Orange Bowl

    Michigan location sucks they need national recruits to have any hope of success. Who even in Michigan would want to go there over Ohio State?
    National recruits who care about academics it probably their most hopeful angle, but who would want to go there over Stanford or Notre Dame? Who would want to play for that creepy freak? I look forward to watching that program turn into Cal over the next few decades.

    If you could show a little more attention to detail in your word choice, I would greatly appreciate it.

    Jeeze Loueze, don't get yer panties in a bunch about 2002. Everyone knows if they played that game 20 tims, Miami win 19 of them.

    Look, Kreep, I know you're a philosopher king and all and better at academis than me, but sometims I don't know if you understand the MONEY part of this. It's not how much money the chinstitution or the cumulative net worth of the alumni. Rather, it's about how much money can the athletic dept throw at getting the best corches and spending on facilities. The Kewgs have an endowment that is quite a bit larger than the University of Alabama but they are a pour in the world of college sports and Bamma is rich as fuck.

    Facilities are overrated. I thought you were a DAWG!!!!!!!!!!

    My Canes could win 5 in a row with a rented stadium 45 minutes from campus if the right coach showed up.

    hTh

    Michigan has been filling that place forever. The fact that they keep doing it is evidence that (1) there's not a damn other thing to do in Michigan and (2) they'll never be back.

    Why should they? They keep selling out, selling T-shirts and selling blue sky to DAWGs like you.
