    Indeed they did, which is why that point (along with the other 9) is really dumb.

    Case in point, regarding Urban Meyer...
    We would never hire a guy like Urban Meyer or Nick Saban.
    However, just a few years ago...


    ... immediately targeted Meyer -- whose contract included a clause allowing him to leave for a job at Notre Dame, Ohio State or Michigan.

      It was a night game last year as well, and has been for the past two years, ergo the "Under the Lights" name when they broke out the sweet unis in the 2011-2012 season. But ND-Michigan isn't a big rivalry or anything, so I guess he missed that lol. I agree though, the night game kicked up the atmosphere to the next level.

      That was a pretty funny plea to become a Michigan fan though. Had some nice touches in there, shots at rivals and current references. And likely an account made just to respond to this.

          Pick Florida State, they are my favorite team and they are fun to watch.

          Most importantly, they are so good, they return to power EVERY year!!!

            The Oregon Ducks of course. Fastest team in college football, greatest team known to man. Featuring high flying DeAnthony Thomas, fastest man in the country, Marcus Mariota who has the running ability of Barry Sanders and the passing ability of Peyton Manning, Colt Lyerla who is a damn TANK out there at tight end. We score 50-60 points routinely and on the daily. Be a Duck fan. I've been my whole life and have very rarely regretted it.
            My Teams:
            NCAA FB-Oregon Ducks
            NCAA BB-Gonzaga Bulldogs
            NBA-Portland Trail Blazers
            NFL-Carolina Panthers
            MLB-San Francisco Giants
            NHL-Los Angeles Kings
            Won't change this signature until Oregon wins a national championship (started 3/10/10)

              Michigan's exaggeration was a lot better.

                That Michigan post reminded me of why I avoid most CFB message boards.

                  My hometown is hundreds of miles, several states from Michigan. So I dont understand unless what you mean by homerism is a new slang term for c0ck.... Heads on over to Urban Dictionary

                    I didn't say no night games. I said the occasional night game is cool. I praised our frequent 12:00 starts as opposed to 3:30, 5:30 etc. 12:00 games allow you get on with the rest of your day.

                      Yeah we did, one of the best games in college football history. Some have called it THE best. I don't know about that but it was a darn good game:

                        I don't get how an article illustrating Notre Dame was pursuing Urban Meyer refutes my statement that Michigan would not do so.

                        Those are two different schools. One's in Indiana, one's in Michigan.

                        LOL @ the Buckeyes fans liking this post... I see nothing much's changed with regard for Ohio fans' veracious appetite for reading.

                          I guess you missed me mentioning that Notre-Dame/Michigan is a major rivalry in my initial post as a part of the argument that Michigan has many more meaningful rivalries than the average school. Which, indicates that you couldn't read a few paragraphs, or could, but just couldn't digest the information contained there in.

                            I appreciate a man who recognizes quality... not in that way. But yes, a nearly 10/10 post. Bill Simmons should give me a couple figures or 6 and I'd turn Grant Land into a hit.

                              No offense but most Buckeyes fans avoid reading of all kinds unless it's mapquest taking them to their next pizza delivery or material in their correctional facilities law library hoping to find a gem their original attorney overlooked for their appeal.

                                OP....

                                ignore all the bickering, unless you want to take it into account that me winning every time speaks volumes as to the culture and quality of education at our University.

                                I gave you 11 legit reasons.

                                #12 is there's a Michigan Bar in every big city in the states and many in foreign countries around the world because we're one of the largest schools there is.

                                It's a great fraternity to be a part of.

                                Top recruits every year, NFL All-Pros regularly, a MD pipeline, games frequently broadcast on National TV for your viewing pleasure, and all free of the guilt those scarlet letters these dirty programs can never shake off. (well technically Alabama uses white numbers rather than a scarlet letter, and who knows what color combo those zany Oregon girls will come up with next)

                                And Ohio State's so bad, we had to invent their greatest tradition (The script "Ohio" at half time for them). Had to throw them that bone to make the rivalry palpable. Otherwise it would just be Michigan vs. Evil. Now it's Michigan vs. the school with the cool halftime show (that we invented).

                                When it comes down to it, it's a no-brainer.

                                Even if you go with LSU, you're getting a Michigan grad as the head coach. He just was deemed an inappropriate choice for the high office of Head Coach of the greatest team in the land.

                                Come join the Victors.
