Memories…………..

In the late 80s and early 90s, I would go to every Ohio State-Michigan game, no matter where the game was played. I went to 10 straight, and always had a great time.

One year, while backtracking to my car before I entered the Stadium in Ann Arbor, some Michigan tailgaters started mocking me. Their mock was brief and painful.

“Air Force! Air Force! Air Force!” was the repeated chant, in reference to the defeat Air Force gave Ohio State in the 1990 Liberty Bowl, 23-11. I had nothing to respond to that. They were right. It was the most humiliating loss I had ever witnessed.

Today, I have a response to those Michigan fans.

Never again will a Michigan fan be able to mock ANY team for a loss. Two words will be all that is needed to redeem….Appalachian State.

Mike Hart, in a post game interview said he would “guarantee if we play them again on a neutral field, there will be a different outcome”.

Michigan fans should be embarrassed of their team and embarrassed to wear maize and blue. They had a legitimate shot to win the National Championship this year, and that hope ended before the first Division 1 school even comes to town.

Watching the fans get all crazy when they were marching down the field midway through the fourth quarter was funny enough…they were getting wild, believing they would eventually rise to defeat….a Division 1-AA school. Just stop and think about that. This was a game that when the season was ending, people would point to it and call it a “cream-puff win”. Now, it’s not even that.

The news reports are already calling it the “biggest upset of all-time”. Discussions of Lloyd Carr’s dismissal are no longer being held off until the annual to Ohio State. There’s no way they should even be considered a Top 20 team anymore, and any Poll voter that puts them anywhere near the Top 20 should lose their vote…including BlogPoll voters.

It was one thing to give up 42 points to Ohio State, and then 32 points to USC….but they continued their horrific defense by allowing 34 points today. Anybody who thinks Ron English is the successor to Lloyd Carr is just a glutton for punishment.

MGoBlog is shut down, and I don’t know if I think that’s a wise decision or a cowardly one. I haven’t heard Brian’s explanation, so maybe it’s necessary to save his servers from overload…but anything short of that is absolutely cowardly. At least the other Michigan blogs are still up and taking their medicine.

So as it stands, Michigan is the laughingstock of college football…and they are on a three-game losing streak.

The only thing left to say is that yes, indeed…Chad Henne is a joke. A mother-fucking joke.

UPDATE – Raj reminds me that MGoBlog is on the same servers as my site…so he didn’t shut down because of server overload. I can only step forward and say that Brian at MGoBlog is clearly behaving like a wuss. To shut down the site because of this loss…well, there’s just no excuse. Your boys lost and got humiliated….be a fucking man and take it. Let me give you an example….January 9th, this year. Florida has just crushed Ohio State 41-14 in the BCS Title Game. Here is what I wrote about it;

I’ll just come out and say it.

Florida manhandled us. They looked good and made all the right moves. They brought their A game, and we barely played our B game.

Today, I will wear my new Pittman jersey. For I am proud to be a Buckeye, and I ALWAYS will be.

Is there anything else I can say about that? Be a man.
