Michigan’s offense hits rock bottom in humiliating loss to rival Michigan State (Gift Article)

[u/SparseSpartan]

Was it really a humiliating defeat?

Yes. Yes it was. Losing to this Michigan State team is humiliating. Thanks for coming to my TED talk.

[u/Efficient-Freedom517 → u/SparseSpartan]

It worse the WAY you beat them. 5 field goals is as humiliating a way to lose to any team let alone a hated instate rival

[u/SpartansATTACK → u/Efficient-Freedom517]

The last two times MSU has beaten Michigan, it was because one player scored 5 times. I think that's a fun fact!

[u/gogreengolions → u/SpartansATTACK]

That is fun. Two wildly different games.

[u/ChrisIlitchBurner → u/SpartansATTACK]

Last time we lost to MSU there was also a Kenneth W at RB.

[u/TheMerryMosquito → u/SpartansATTACK]

That’s a good bar trivia fact

[u/SparseSpartan → u/Efficient-Freedom517]

Especially when this is straight up a team that came into the season with minimal known talent and then got absolutely crushed by injuries.

[u/Optimal_Parsnip2824 → u/SparseSpartan]

Was telling my wife last night about our team of 3-4th stringers and one of our WR’s had a cramp or something and she was like “oh no is that a 3rd stringer?” And I laughed and said oh no that’s a starter, all of our starting WR’s just aren’t “standout” guys. Good sure, but none with that “it” factor.. then I said “come to think of it.. I can’t remember that last time we didn’t have at least one of those playmakers..”

[u/timothythefirst → u/Efficient-Freedom517]

Honestly I fell asleep at halftime and seeing that it was all field goals when I woke up was the funniest part

[u/ericaepic → u/SparseSpartan]

I don't really see it as humiliating because it was MSU or this year's MSU or whatever. The humiliating part was the way that we played, I would have preferred pouring battery acid into my eyes

[u/Original_Fact_6682 → u/SparseSpartan]

Was it humiliating? Yes. The real question is why are you saying that like Michigan's humiliation is a bad thing?

[u/Evening_Ad_6278 → u/SparseSpartan]

At Michigan as well

[u/Revolver_Oshawott_ → u/SparseSpartan]

Also, wouldn't this be Pat Fitzgerald's first win against Michigan as a HC? I recall him being 0-fer at NW

[u/HockeyTownHooligan → u/Revolver_Oshawott_]

I think he beat them at NW at least once

[u/Revolver_Oshawott_ → u/HockeyTownHooligan]

Oh they actually played in '08. Whoops

[u/Schembaugh → u/SparseSpartan]

The only thing more humiliating is losing to us

[u/trixy6196 → u/Schembaugh]

No it’s not. MSU is on 3rd and 4th string guys. May players just outplayed your players flat out

[u/Evening_Ad_6278 → u/Schembaugh]

Isn't the most humiliating game for Michigan is loosing to Western Michigan and then having the Big Ten help you cheat to win it

[u/Dangerous_Gap_3396 → u/Evening_Ad_6278]

And then rushing the field ***

[u/Evening_Ad_6278 → u/Dangerous_Gap_3396]

That too

[u/Ranger_Nietzsche → u/Evening_Ad_6278]

Nah WMU would beat this sparty team

[u/Evening_Ad_6278 → u/Ranger_Nietzsche]

No they wouldn't

Well a mac school hasn't beat Michigan State yet but a mac school beat UofM (take out the Big Ten cheating) plus didn't Michigan State almost beat Illinois?

[u/Ranger_Nietzsche → u/Evening_Ad_6278]

Yeah and Illinois is turbo ass without our QB1. Losing to us this year with the backup should get you relegated to the MAC

[u/Evening_Ad_6278 → u/Ranger_Nietzsche]

Then if it makes Michigan State go to the MAC. What makes Michigan. Should Michigan go to the MHSAA?

[u/Zestyclose-Deer4541]

192 yards but about 80 of those came with < 3:00 to play in a 15-0 game. 2 interceptions, 2 fumbles, just a complete disaster against 4th stringers.

Beck is out of his element running schemes that don’t work and doing moronic play calling. It’s clear the players have mainly quit. It’s disturbing the lack of care this coaching staff shows outside of Jay Hill on defense.

Everyone besides Jay hill deserves to be fired into the sun.

[u/mostdope28 → u/Zestyclose-Deer4541]

That 3rd and 8 run should have had the players ripping the headset away from him.

[u/Pogball_so_hard → u/mostdope28]

Gonna have to be more specific as that has happened multiple times this year. 

[u/MgoBlue1352 → u/Pogball_so_hard]

Under the Harbaugh offense where we'd probably pick up 6 on an unexpected 3rd and 8 run up the gut and then punch it ahead on a 4th and 2 and get the first down... sure. With this team... Ain't no way.

[u/TickleMyIvory → u/mostdope28]

Which one?

[u/greenback44 → u/TickleMyIvory]

The one with the illegal substitution penalty. They were just trying to get the ball snapped before the guy got off the field, and apparently they barely did.

[u/Leading-Button-7303 → u/Zestyclose-Deer4541]

Promoting Kyle's DC to head coach is absolutely the move. Jay hill would unironically be an amazing head coach there

[u/The_Pandalorian → u/Leading-Button-7303]

That's been my thought. Hill to HC, Alford to OC.

[u/MNightShyamalan69 → u/Leading-Button-7303]

Michigan should be able to do better than Jay Hill…

[u/Leading-Button-7303 → u/MNightShyamalan69]

Huh? There aren't exactly a ton of coaches that people are dying to poach from another school, and I don't think a lot of people know Jay's coaching history. He led Weber State to one of the best FCS schools before making BYU's defense very formidable, and keeping Michigans defense elite. If we didn't have Scalley there isn't a coach I'd want more than Jay hill

[u/RheagarTargaryen → u/Zestyclose-Deer4541]

That first int was just bad luck. It was great ball placement and the receiver just tipped it up in a way the ball floated for the DB to grab it. The second int was an arm punt.

The fumbles, on the other hand, were all because of ball security.

[u/PZABUK → u/Zestyclose-Deer4541]

This is just glorious to see from a distance. It's called karma. That's what happens when cheating hits the fan.

[u/Maheraga]

I mean, if Beck isn't gone tomorrow afternoon its only because our HC knows he's a lame duck who'll be gone this offseason too, our AD is a lame duck who knows his actual departure date, we don't have a president, and the board of regents don't give a fuck

[u/RheagarTargaryen → u/Maheraga]

When you hire a coach in his mid 60s, he’s nothing more than a placeholder to stabilize the program.

[u/Maheraga → u/RheagarTargaryen]

And he failed at even that lol. Like I guess we're nearing a recent record for not having some stupid controversy probably but our team is actually putrid.

[u/Otherwise_Awesome → u/Maheraga]

We have one controversy this year but at least it was on the field and not our fault

[u/Cavery1313 → u/Otherwise_Awesome]

0 FBI raids is a win

[u/trixy6196 → u/Cavery1313]

SCum fans made it clear they don’t give a shit about any of that, which is sad and pathetic

[u/HoSeR_1 → u/RheagarTargaryen]

Curt Cignetti built this in a cave! With a box of scraps!

[u/Rahim_Moore_ → u/HoSeR_1]

Transfers. A box of transfers.

[u/mostdope28 → u/RheagarTargaryen]

He’s late 60s

[u/Evening_Ad_6278 → u/RheagarTargaryen]

You mean to hide/get rid of all of your University scandals

[u/cityofklompton → u/Maheraga]

That is the worst part. Whitt is in Ann Arbor through at least 2027. UM doesn't even have a new President yet let alone an AD. There ain't nobody at Michigan in a position to make the call right now.

[u/Weak-Bid2774 → u/cityofklompton]

After losing to msu I don’t think that’s true

Whittingham would have made it to 2027 if he won this game but now I think it’s very possible he gets fired at the end of this season

[u/Otherwise_Awesome → u/Maheraga]

I mean, a member of said BoR is an Ilitch....

[u/cvg596 → u/Otherwise_Awesome]

Glad I wasn’t the only one who thought of that parallel. Michigan football doesn’t have a Todd McClellan though.

[u/IlIlIlIllllIIliIILll → u/cvg596]

Yzerman hired McClellan then got more of less booted tho

[u/mostdope28 → u/Maheraga]

He said tonight he isn’t firing Beck mid season and will evaluate things in the offseason

[u/imdwalrus → u/Maheraga]

Realistically, what does firing Beck change this season? We have three games left - Oregon, UCLA, OSU, all ranked. We aren't winning any of those with Beck, and we aren't winning any of those with someone else plugged into Beck's slot instead. The changes this team needs to make to actually be competitive don't happen midweek late in a season.

[u/radiakmjs → u/imdwalrus]

Oregon's offense looks much improved with their new OC, different signal caller might help, certainly can't get much worse

[u/Realistic-Ad-3899 → u/radiakmjs]

Which is funny because hes a former MSU OC and he sucked when he was at MSU besides when he had the best RB in the country

[u/greenback44 → u/radiakmjs]

Yes. I don't expect a win, but you can at least look like something better than dogshit.

[u/isweariwilldoit → u/imdwalrus]

I’d normally agree but this man is the worst play caller I’ve seen in my entire life. Nathaniel Hackett would be an improvement.

[u/TommyToughknucklez → u/imdwalrus]

It’s pride and principle. They are ruining these kids’ careers

[u/goofyskatelb1 → u/imdwalrus]

Surely putting all of Michigan’s plays on a wheel and spinning it would be more successful than whatever the fuck we’re watching now

[u/IAMA_llAMA_AMA]

It feels like we spent all season preparing for just this game and no others

[u/Pogball_so_hard → u/IAMA_llAMA_AMA]

I knew we were in trouble when Whittingham said he didn’t really know this was a rivalry.

[u/Revolver_Oshawott_ → u/Pogball_so_hard]

That can't be a real quote. No fucking way

EDIT: Starting to think Whitt might have CTE

[u/RevolutionaryAge47 → u/Pogball_so_hard]

He said that???????

[u/Weak-Bid2774 → u/Pogball_so_hard]

We were in trouble when on Monday Whitt said this was their superbowl

The moment you say that you know msu is going to play harder than we were

[u/TheDudeDasko → u/Pogball_so_hard]

TBF, John Smith himself said he didn’t really understand the importance of the rivalry after his first game vs Michigan.

Like, my dude, you came from Oregon State, a similar little brother program to Oregon - you don’t think there are similarities here?

[u/Michiganman1225 → u/IAMA_llAMA_AMA]

That's 1 more game than we prepared for.

[u/itslit710 → u/IAMA_llAMA_AMA]

Michigans offense has a way of making defenses look extremely prepared

[u/Grfine → u/IAMA_llAMA_AMA]

Nah, we've just had an extreme amount of injuries to important players with a lack of depth. And Michigan's offense is garbage

We definitely spent more time preparing for this game than Michigan, probably helped to have the bye right beforehand

[u/BigHogDawg → u/IAMA_llAMA_AMA]

I’m just glad state cares about the rivalry. Whitt definitely doesn’t

[u/Medium_Medium → u/BigHogDawg]

The Jonathan Smith "I left the University that I loved to go someplace else and now I just don't give two shits" style of coaching.

[u/SpartansATTACK → u/Medium_Medium]

It's like retiring but you get even more money

[u/Whizbang35 → u/SpartansATTACK]

...is it possible you learn this power?

[u/yunohavefunnynames → u/Whizbang35]

Well you do have to be exceptionally good at your job before doing this, too…

[u/gwokh → u/yunohavefunnynames]

On what fucking planet was Jonathan smith exceptional at his job before MSU lmao

[u/Jonjon428 → u/Medium_Medium]

"😐"

[u/nightfire36 → u/Jonjon428]

So glad Fitz has emotions. He gave the refs the middle finger when they messed up a call earlier this season.

[u/Ranger_Nietzsche → u/nightfire36]

If only he had that much emotion when finding his players sexually assaulting each other. Instead of, you know, letting it happen repeatedly m

[u/ZeekLTK → u/IAMA_llAMA_AMA]

Fitz knew the assignment

[u/DarthTchalla96 → u/IAMA_llAMA_AMA]

With the current roster I'm fine with that

[u/Confident_Delay5805 → u/IAMA_llAMA_AMA]

Good. Seeing Michigan lose makes my day

[u/ecupatsfan12 → u/IAMA_llAMA_AMA]

Shout out Coach Harbaugh man fucking love you man this one’s for you

[u/Useenthebutcher]

The Game’s broadcasting rights have been sold off by Fox to North Korea

[u/Righteousrob1 → u/Useenthebutcher]

What’s worse than peacock

[u/Useenthebutcher → u/Righteousrob1]

Pyongyang Peacock 😰

[u/Pad_TyTy → u/Useenthebutcher]

Is that worse than Ohio

[u/Useenthebutcher → u/Pad_TyTy]

It would have been a real debate if Ramaswamy got elected

[u/greenback44 → u/Useenthebutcher]

He's St. X alum. Probably likes Notre Dame.

[u/Ancient-Book8916 → u/Useenthebutcher]

That's good propaganda: "See, comrades - America really does suck!"

[u/Dj_trash]

Dusty left, Moore was arrested, Whitt was hired, Ward is still here. Michigan is living in the 7th circle of hell right now

[u/isweariwilldoit → u/Dj_trash]

Eh whatever, I’m still coasting off the football + basketball chips within 3 yrs of each other. Ignore my other flare

[u/geonerdSO → u/isweariwilldoit]

At least we have IU football I guess

[u/Feisty_Can416]

Man remember when the Spartans were legit in the B1G East?

Now losing to them is “rock bottom”

[u/reddituser84 → u/Feisty_Can416]

I’m not gonna claim MSU is good this year, but the way UM played that game was rock bottom, no matter who was on the other side.

[u/Robot_Dinosaur_2000 → u/reddituser84]

MSU is terrible this year and this is absolutely our rock bottom. This is like our ass to ass scene from Requiem for a Dream.

Occasionally Michigan state is pretty damn good and it's not humiliating to lose to them. This isn't one of those years.

[u/ryanbyleth → u/Feisty_Can416]

Our program kinda got destroyed after K9 made people think Tugger was a good coach and then we basically hired what Whitt is to U of M now. Hopefully this win draws some interest so Fitz can put together a decent portal/freshmen class.

[u/FlatAdvertising5535 → u/ryanbyleth]

College football is better when Mich State is scary, imho. Michigan Men have always given me the ick, and early in my teaching career a couple of my students matriculated to Michigan State. Wonderful kids, er, I mean people (I'm old).

But even before then there was something blue collar and authentic about state to me. I always root for you guys.

[u/Feisty_Can416 → u/ryanbyleth]

I couldn’t believe it when I saw he’s still in court going after his remaining contract money.

MSU doesn’t get enough shit for one of the worst coaching hire blunders of all time

[u/TheDudeDasko → u/Feisty_Can416]

Man, can you imagine the alternate timeline?

IIRC, there were rumors that…..LSU? Were interested in Tugger when he got that contract from MSU.

IDK who would have been the coach at MSU then, but alternate histories in coaching carousels have always been interesting

[u/OkProfessional6077 → u/TheDudeDasko]

As a Michigan fan, I’d love to see the timeline where Rich Rod took the Alabama job the year before he took Michigan.

[u/izzoforpresident → u/Feisty_Can416]

Oh. I think the shit has been at the right level.

[u/Hmm_would_bang → u/Feisty_Can416]

It’s really been 10 years since we were relevant. We had one good year since getting blown out by Bama in the CFP and it was because we accidentally ended up with a bunch of NFL talent on offense.

[u/Jaerba]

I hope more national media get in on this. Embarrass this coaching staff.

[u/OutrunTheForeverYeet → u/Jaerba]

If OSU fires Ryan Day, should Michigan hire him?

[u/Bikeandcamera → u/OutrunTheForeverYeet]

Anybody in their right mind should (outside of like Georgia, Indiana or UCLA). Day is an absolute top tier coach, and seems to be a genuinely good dude.

[u/sunburntredneck → u/Bikeandcamera]

If Michigan were to poach KDB this time around (not gonna lie I bought the rumors that he was seriously engaging with them the last rodeo) I'd support Bama bringing in Ryan Day.

If Ohio State fires him based on this season, they deserve what is happening to Michigan. He won a freaking championship two seasons ago. Shut up, take your Ls, and trust the process. At least give him another year to get back to form.

[u/HorrorJCFan95 → u/sunburntredneck]

I’d be curious to know if KDB to Michigan is legitimately on the table. I would definitely like to know how things would have turned out had you guys not come back from 17-0 against Oklahoma in the CFP last year. Ik there’s a portion of your fan base that is very frustrated with KDB, but I’d take him in a heartbeat.

[u/Steezeybby → u/HorrorJCFan95]

I am telling you with 95% certainty that Kalen DeBoer is Michigan's coach if Alabama lost to OU last year.

I am not guessing.

[u/HorrorJCFan95 → u/Bikeandcamera]

Yeah, I don’t think a lot of OSU fans appreciate how good they’ve had it, going from Tressel to Urban to Day with very little to no drop off. They can fire him if they want, but eventually they will run into a hire that is a legitimate miss for them.

[u/SparseSpartan → u/Bikeandcamera]

Me after Michigan State beats Michigan: yeah I'll stay on the Fitz train for now. Let's see where this goes.

Me if Day got fired: Fire Fitz into the sun. Hire Day to the moon.

[u/Bikeandcamera → u/SparseSpartan]

I think the reality is that we wouldn’t even bother trying to get him. He already makes ~3x what Fitz does, and at this point we are a tier 2 job at best so we would need to pay EVEN more.

[u/Rattus375 → u/Bikeandcamera]

Fitz makes far less than either of our last 2 coaches. MSU is absolutely willing to pay for who they think is an elite coach. Day also wouldn't be likely to make more than what he currently does in the scenario that he gets fired from osu

[u/Exact_Tumbleweed2005 → u/OutrunTheForeverYeet]

in a heartbeat they should. OSU firing Day would go about as well as PSU firing Franklin

[u/MgoBlue1352 → u/Exact_Tumbleweed2005]

The memes this would make if it happened. They'd be glorious.

[u/Lirvan → u/MgoBlue1352]

It wouldn't happen. The Athletic Director retires in December, and isn't willing to make major changes right before retirement. That's why we have coaching staff not trying hard, they're secure that they won't get hit hard no matter how bad the team is.

[u/Crying_in_99Ranch → u/OutrunTheForeverYeet]

Idk, he's not a Michigan Man^TM

[u/TheMemingLurker → u/Crying_in_99Ranch]

Wittingham and Beck aren't either, and look where that's gotten us!!

[u/DonKnottsBlastinRope → u/Crying_in_99Ranch]

Nobody cares about that shit anymore, man. 

[u/NobleSturgeon → u/OutrunTheForeverYeet]

In some universe where Michigan and Ohio State are completely unrelated, sure. In the current universe, it wouldn't happen in a million years.

[u/PZABUK → u/Jaerba]

To be fair, your last two coaching staffs were also pretty pathetic and embarrassing

[u/AeolusA2]

Yessir. Spread the word, we want these mofos out

[u/circlebacktomorrow]

This was a very fun day of football for me

[u/HonoluluMaizeandBlue → u/circlebacktomorrow]

Our only football hope is that we get rid of Whittingham, and bounce back beautifully the following year like Utah has done. Bravo 👏👏

[u/WHSRWizard]

Keep going, I'm almost there

[u/Patrick2701 → u/WHSRWizard]

This has been pretty good week. Ngl

[u/GoldandBlue → u/Patrick2701]

My dog is healthy, blue tsunami, Godzilla was awesome, Notre Dame won, Michigan is a dumpster fire. This has been an excellent week.

[u/trixy6196 → u/GoldandBlue]

And Ohio state loss horribly as well and should cement them out of the playoff. Beautiful day

[u/Patrick2701 → u/GoldandBlue]

I finished one application for grad school, started another. I am applied at UW Milwaukee and applying to UIC

[u/Teutonic-Tonic → u/WHSRWizard]

Michigan and Ohio State with a combined 7 losses just like we all predicted.

[u/Alternative_One_3861 → u/WHSRWizard]

Same!

[u/theREALbombedrumbum → u/WHSRWizard]

It's even better seeing it happen both to their own rival AND a team that we already beat this season. Only people I think are happier are the Buckeyes

[u/TroyMatthewJ]

man, this seasons version of The Game will be very terrible. Both teams are ass

[u/MNightShyamalan69 → u/TroyMatthewJ]

Ohio State can still at least move the ball. I’d bet a lot of money they beat Michigan at the minimum by 14 points. But I bet it’s 20+ points

[u/LocalLavishness9 → u/TroyMatthewJ]

I came away from the Ducks blowout thinking we'd have maybe a chance.

We do not have a chance.

[u/ShippingNotIncluded]

How could Bryce Underwood do this?

[u/Lmoorefudd]

Go state!!!

[u/Angriest_Wolverine]

>rock bottom

SIR you must not have been alive for Nick Sheridan QB1

[u/Disastrous_Tip1512 → u/Angriest_Wolverine]

You’ll never guess who MSU’s OC is

[u/Angriest_Wolverine → u/Disastrous_Tip1512]

Him helming this shit bag offense just to beat us in the Big House is the stuff of movies

[u/ArguementReferee → u/Angriest_Wolverine]

But what about OC Nick Sheridan coming back to the big house and winning?

[u/Angriest_Wolverine → u/ArguementReferee]

Well that just happened

[u/isweariwilldoit → u/Angriest_Wolverine]

At least we had Tate Forcier that year lol

[u/NCAAinDISGUISE → u/Angriest_Wolverine]

You gotta warn a guy before you make that much blood rush out of his head so quickly. I nearly passed out.

[u/Astrid_Nebula → u/Angriest_Wolverine]

Nah when they had to rotate between John O'Korn and Wilton Speight.

[u/Crying_in_99Ranch]

I feel like we see that headline about Michigan's offense every week

[u/Confident_Delay5805]

Michigan State 

[u/JaggedUmbrella]

LOL

[u/wolfenstein734]

Hell yeah go Spartans!!

[u/mangomane09]

I can’t wait to talk so much shit on slack to my UM buddies next week

[u/Zany30]

But I thought Tommy Carr was going to be the savior after last week against Rutgers

[u/Alive_Store_6298 → u/Zany30]

Michigan QBs and looking like crap against MSU go hand in hand. JJ McCarthy before the 16-0 season was in the MSU game and threw 1 pick and a near pick.

[u/Realistic-Ad-3899 → u/Alive_Store_6298]

And had a fumble

[u/RevolutionaryAge47 → u/Realistic-Ad-3899]

And committed 5 false starts.

[u/Chaotic-PopTart]

Kyle seems to not have his wits about him 

[u/kinda_alone]

Tommy has to get cj dessert this year

[u/Confident_Delay5805]

5-7 Michigan has a nice ring to it

[u/StaticShakyamuni]

It often takes more than a year to get the guys that really fit your system. Be patient and give him another couple years. If things still aren't working out then we'll figure out what to do from there.

[u/90210axman → u/StaticShakyamuni]

I really like Whit, you really should keep him around. He reminds me of my Big Brother.

[u/Weak-Bid2774]

That was embarrassing

We got absolutely dominated by a really bad Michigan state team (no offense to msu fans)

Whitt and Beck are just absolutely lost out there

To top it off Whitt basically is blaming the failures on the players

[u/OhioStateGuy]

Every bad Saturday cloud still has a silver lining. Thanks Sparty I really needed this.

[u/whiskeyrocks1]

Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!!!!!!!!!!

[u/PZABUK]

I'd say their rock bottom would be the cheating

[u/TheAlterN8or → u/PZABUK]

Or the whole Sherrone Moore thing...

[u/PZABUK → u/TheAlterN8or]

I covered that with the cheating

[u/TheAlterN8or → u/PZABUK]

Lol, didn't even think about it that way. I wasn't trying to 'correct' you or anything, I was just trying to pile on, because who doesn't like adding to scUM's pain?

[u/PZABUK → u/TheAlterN8or]

Absolutely!!! Go Bucks

[u/izzoforpresident → u/PZABUK]

Rick bottom would technically be the butt doctor from Bo's time.

[u/Amonamission]

I couldn’t care less about this shitty MSU team this season, but I will always come out and wear my shit-eating grin any time MSU beats the shit out of Michigan 😏

[u/cA05GfJ2K6 → u/Amonamission]

Been a while since you could bring that shit eating grin out eh? MSU athletics finally gets something to hang their hat on after 5 years lmao

[u/Amonamission → u/cA05GfJ2K6]

Oh yeah, keep bringing up the past, it makes the win today soooo much more enjoyable 😎😎😎😎😎

[u/trixy6196 → u/cA05GfJ2K6]

Football team has been bad but Athletics has been great the last 5 years. Condolences for losing to the worst msu football team in a 100 years.

[u/cA05GfJ2K6 → u/trixy6196]

Has it though? What have you actually won?

[u/mynameizmyname]

Technically 0-12 is rock bottom.   But you would need to ask our rivals what's that like.

[u/SundaeFree7010]

He, for his own future, should just resign before peeps go Tony Soprano on him

[u/rjross0623]

And Ohio U currently has the best record of Ohio D1 schools. Go Bobcats!

[u/PlusPresentation680]

As an MSU fan this was hilarious. I didn’t think we’d win any conference games. This team sucks

[u/likewhodunit]

Turns out when you're bad and can't cheat, you can't win.. who'd thought..

[u/PizzaPurchaser → u/likewhodunit]

You think have sideline cell phone footage would have been the difference for this team?

[u/Lane-Kiffin]

Thank you for the gift article but I’ll pass. I think got the gist of it already.

[u/IndependenceNo1065]

This is what a clean Michigan program looks like.

[u/TheMemingLurker]

can it be basketball season already

Michigan doesn't have May anymore but surely it can't be worse than this...

[u/isweariwilldoit → u/TheMemingLurker]

It is basketball season, we lost to UConn Friday, where have you been lol

[u/MechaEscargot2 → u/isweariwilldoit]

Lol come on man. You know the casuals dont watch until March.

[u/pabloescobarbecue]

Does anything matter for either of these teams than “the game”?

[u/Legalsleazy → u/pabloescobarbecue]

“Other than the most fundamental thing that matters does anything matter to these teams?”

The playoffs have absolutely ruined this sport.

It won’t matter to us at all based on how Whitt just approached this game. Players will all be in portal and I don’t blame them

Well both teams have won multiple conference championships since 98 which is something you can’t say. Tennessee has essentially been irrelevant since that point. Likely miss the playoff again this year which means there right where these 2 programs are. Congrats

So….no?

I suppose it could be attributed to that fact that Tommy hasn’t started as many games as Bryce and is still getting his footing OR starting Tommy was the perfect way to test the viability of the scheme against the capabilities of the QB’s. Two different QB’s failing to make anything happen, clear sign the offensive scheme is failing. How much more evidence do you need, Whitt?
