For some meeeechegan fans the sight of that ancient helmet brights back national championship memories.

Why do people give a shit about football results from games played 100 years before their date of birth?

I cannot grasp this level of fandom.

Maybe they weren't a hundred years before my birth ... every win from every team is history, why should some count for less?

Because many that you are touting were before the invention of football helmets and the forward pass.

It was also back when you played high schools and clubs.

We played the best ... the best of the best and we were the best. We were the Alabama back then ... and no team can claim they are better than Alabama this past decade.

Couldn't take the cold anymore. Also the economy was going into the dumpster. I love it in Dallas and watch OSU every weekend.

You were Alabama when there weren’t any regulations and there wasn’t even remotely equally footing since you had been playing significantly longer than most of the other schools you were playing. Now most teams are well established and Michigan is a good but not great program.

Speak for yourself. We haven’t lost a game to Alabama in decades.
:peep:






























But yeah, obviously we’re nowhere even close to what Bama has done lately.

Cleveland is a great city ... have you been there lately ... the only problem with Ohio is that stinky junior college in Columbus which specializes in human test subjects for experimental PEDs called ohio state.

WAH, WAH, WAH ... at one time we were the best, something MSU can’t say.

We’ve also had four players drafted in the top eight in the past. Michigan has never had 4 in the first round. We’ve also won a 3 conference titles in the past ten years, how many do you have?

No conference titles in the past 10 years and I’m not going to check on the draft ... too difficult on the iPhone

You have no teams listed.
Aw shit thanks. I was trying to spell out something with the team names a while back before forgetting about it. On the phone probably 95% of the time here and it’s always portrait mode which doesn’t show the teams and likes stuff. Thanks.

Should probably try some baby steps, like beating South Carolina

I mean, it's a rare program that can be called the Gamecocks' bitches

Actually most Ohioans would call Columbus the best city in Ohio. The last time I was in Cleveland was 2002. Most of the malls had been torn down. The old neighborhood shopping center was mostly demolished or had vacant stores.

You could actually roll a bowling ball down Euclid Ave, the main street in downtown Cleveland, on Saturday or Sunday and hit nobody. All the department stores have been closed in the downtown area.

The only thing that remains is the weather, and it's still cold, very cold.
