I went over to my favorite laugh - MGOBLOG. They have a TOPIC on there asking "Why does everyone HATE Michigan?"
Since they are unable to have any palpable introspection whatsoever, they land on:
"Jealousy. Envy, too, but it's mostly about jealousy."
So - I thought maybe we could help them out...they seem REALLY stumped.
First off - What exactly are we jealous of?
- Is it the 1/2 National Championships you have in the last 70 years?
- Is it the 2 Big Ten Championships in the last 2 decades?
- Is it that You have only coach in NCAA history that was suspended twice in same season?
- Is it that you tout yourself as the "winningest program" when You counts wins from the 1800s when you (literally) played against high schools and teams that learned the game the DAY OF?
- Your academic standing? Then - I guess UM is jealous of Northwestern?
- Spawning the biggest simpleton on ESPN - Desmond "speaking English correctly is difficult" Howard?
Michigan fans have long been insufferable because they are arrogant with little substance. Did I mention they have 1/2 of a NATTY in last 70 years? Hell, BYU, Georgia Tech, Michigan State(!), Syracuse, Army and Minnesota have more than that!
They are sanctimonious and "above reproach" with respect to following the rules. Gee - The FAB FIVE was the single biggest cheating in NCAA basketball history...and they won nothing! (Nice time out!) Now - They have multiple violations in football....and there WILL be consequences. Trust me - nobody will want to be Michigan when everything comes out...and it will.
Also- the MAJORITY of UM fans have only stepped on campus to attend a game....maybe. They are known as "WAL*MART WOLVERINES" for a reason!
Trust me - Nobody is "jealous" of Michigan. Well, maybe Temple or Rice, but that is about it.
Yes Michigan - the world really does hate you. It is possible that EVERYONE else is wrong and JUST UM fans are correct....or maybe, just maybe...you guys are arrogant and annoying jerks.
