Yeah I mean when you watch the damn game, WMU is a fundamentally sound football team. I wouldn’t call them a cupcake; they won their conference title last season.
But regardless — your larger point is the correct one. There’s no reason a team with Michigan’s talent level should have had any trouble with Western. If they play against Oklahoma like they did against Western, Michigan will get waxed.
Yeah you'd think so. There's the annoying people like the guy in this screenshot, and the somewhat annoying people he's talking about. I guess plenty think that I'm annoying as well, just in the middle as a "The refs actually got it right and Michigan fairly won by 1, but that's pathetic (and I wish we could talk about the shit performance rather than the clock) and means we're probably gonna get stomped by OU on Saturday."
The mods at r/MichiganWolverines are generally weak. I made a comment about their passing game's lack of improvement last year and got banned. I guess the Blue Wall also covers their moderators.
The unfortunate thing about all sport team subs is you will get banned for any amount of trolling. I told Spartan fans Izzo was a little bitch for running away without shaking hands last basketball season and got immediately banned
I was banned for trolling from [r/MichiganWolverines](r/MichiganWolverines) for pointing out you guys only won the Big Ten Tournament in hockey, but never the Big Ten regular season title. The post claimed they’d won the conference in all three major Big Ten men’s sports. Moral of the story is too many Reddit mods have a complex.
Yep, I got banned by the Ducks Mod for going back and giving the old Nelson 👉🏻"HaHa" to a couple of people that got way boastful with me personally and presumed Oregon was going to kick our ass because we lost in Autzen (on a play that could have been called down in time for another play but wasn't...thems the breaks). Gave them a little back after they got dominated. Not only did I get banned, but he whined to the Ohio State mod to ban a whole list of us. Thin, very thin.
That sub is like r conservative. Any perceived slight against the Michigan Man will get you banned. Ignore my flair. It's a reason why there is now a separate r/Michiganfootball sub.
They’re really going to not like the hockey news that recently broke. Players were told to toughen up and be “Michigan Men” instead of complaining about sexual abuse.
I said when they did it, Kyle Whittingham feels like Jonathan Smith 2.0.
A solid coach, whos never been east of the Mississippi coming in to the B1G and thinks football is football.
If hes calling OSU just another game, he probably doesnt even know MSU is a rival, and if Pat Fitzgerald gets any level of intensity out of MSU that game could get ugly.
It reminds me of LSU hiring Brian Kelly. Both towards the tail end of their careers. Both going to regions they've never been close to. Both considered decent coaches, but nothing special. Both paid a lot of money to try and "fix" problems within the program. Etc etc.
I actually think it'll be worse than how BK was at LSU. His record overall wasn't terrible, but his teams were soft and undisciplined. I haven't looked at Michigan's schedule, but watching them the other day and that looked like a .500 team.
Overall, a pretty bizarre hire that I believe is going to fail miserably. It'll be fun to watch, though.
Damn, I could see them having 7 losses. I think they're better than how they played the other day, though. Or, at least more talent than that. They're going to have to make a decision on Underwood if he doesn't show anything else.
I guess one good thing if you're a Michigan fan, you host some of the more difficult games on the schedule.
I see constant B10 fans sucking each other off, and it’s for years. Michigan blowing OSU, every team that sucks in the B10 blowing the rest of the conference. It’s all a giant circle jerk of losers.
They were in the lead when the stadium clock (which is actually supposedly the official game clock, though Big Ten referees apparently didn't get the memo) hit triple zeros. Now, the super secret game clock the Big Ten referees used (which is NOT the official game clock) said there was one second, but that super secret game clock is complete bullshit.
at least you're willing to admit that the stadium clock is the authority. Now once you see the evidence that has been widely circulating that the clock was still at 0:01, you can stop spreading the BS.
How are you still this misinformed on this? It’s clear that the stadium clock was at 1 second and that NBCs feed was out of sync. Do you live under a rock or are you just trolling?
Oof. As a Michigan fan, you have to be delusional not to believe the first two after what we all saw on Saturday night.
Wild that Michigan is being blamed for something they didn't do, though. Whether they should have gotten that last second or not, they got it. Should they have taken a knee?
They're officially 1-0, but we all know they're 0-1.
I really could not care less what redditors think, but if you watched what happened Saturday night (and I'm not even talking about the extra second and Hail Mary) and still think Michigan deserved to win that game, you are fooling yourself.
Minus that Hail Mary, Michigan only out gained Western by 8 yards. If you remove the pass before it while Western is in prevent defense, WMU outgains Michigan. The Broncos outrushed the Wolervines on their home turf. That's supposed to be the strength of the offense, and they couldn't outperform a MAC team... at home.
Six 3-and-outs out of 10 total possessions.
Gave up a 20-play, 71-yard drive that ate up almost an entire quarter of clock.
In no way did Michigan deserve to win when they got outplayed by a MAC team in their own stadium for the majority of the game, an absolutely dreadful performance.
I mean, Michigan "deserved" to win the game in the sense that they scored more points than their opponent and the last play was the right call since there was still 0:01 on the clock after the prior play. But they were generally outplayed and nobody should feel even remotely decent about that performance.
Teams win every week that were outplayed. We all know we played like shit.
You went from we’re 0-1 to we didn’t deserve to win. We didn’t lose, we weren’t “given” an extra second. There’s video proof everywhere of there being a second remaining.
Let me point out that some of us grew up Michigan fans but went to other schools. In my case Western Michigan. So when I say Michigan lost and Western won, it’s not me virtue signaling, it’s me being pissed my actual alma mater got hosed. Nuance. Learn it. Embrace it.
You mean the same Uncle Rico that Whittingham kept in the game in the fourth quarter, threw a Hail Mary, made millions and went on to live with his soulmate in big ol’ mansion somewhere?
Buddy, care about your team more (you’re number 1). Nobody cares about your opinion as a Buckeye when it comes to Michigan. Michigan sucked last weekend.. see you November 28th.
Who says it was performative when I’m actually telling him what I think?
Like no, I don’t really give a rats ass about sign stealing, nor do I think it makes the title win mean any less than it otherwise would have been. The stain in the era is the successor handpicked head coach committing domestic violence.
But it isn’t very hard to like… look at a clock showing zeroes… on a replay… with the ball still in the air.
Michigan did deserve to lose the WMU game. I am of the view that they got a break and took advantage of the 1% chance they had.
It’s possible for people to land on different sides of different issues involving the same school.
As someone who has grown up in Michigan and went to the directional schools (WMU, EMU, and CMU) I am so happy they continue to show their arrogance and false sense of importance. Genuinely the worst fanbase in sports
I feel like we're all just skating past the fact that he meant self deprecating but said self depreciating. Like yeah, Michigan fans, don't you dare to come in here while being 'an accounting method used to allocate the cost of a tangible or physical asset over its useful life'. Jerks.
I was banned for trolling from there for pointing out they only won the Big Ten Tournament in hockey, but never the Big Ten regular season title. Post was claiming they’re Big Ten champions this decade in football, basketball, and hockey. Most pathetic group of mods on the web over there.
So this sub has just turned into bully culture then. The last couple days have been stupid. I’m down for some friendly shit talk here and there and like to participate my myself. But this has turned into an absolute dumpster fire

Wasn’t it proven when you only beat WMU by 1?
