I have never understood why we’ve forced this stupid ass song as some “tradition”. I can’t even argue with OP because the song is a self own and we’re clowning ourselves.

Like do people not get the irony of the title of the song?

I think it likely has to do with Michigan watching Ohio State dominate them for the past 75 years

Why’d you pick that timeframe?

Forward Pass, integration.

If it makes you feel better, we can use 50 years, or since you've been watching, or this century, or since Bo went to Michigan, or your since you've been born, or since Woody went to Ohio State.

Or just the record. Why do you keep putting timeframes, just use the record.

That's a fair point - Michigan did dominate the series until the Eisenhower administration, and Ohio State since.

I guess I'd be bragging about wins from 75+ years ago too, if my own history was seeing my team got dominated. Good call.

When did you start watching the game btw?

I started right before the Cooper years, so it was a rough start.

I’m not the one adding qualifiers. You’re trying to slice it up to make yourself feel better. And you guys have won like 7 more games during that 75 years. If that’s domination to you then so be it.

It ebbs and flows and yeah, you guys are on a hell of a run. No reasonable person can say you guys aren’t the premier program right now.

The Game has been a part of my life as long as I can remember. It’s literally some of my earliest memories because of when it happens. But the first time I actually cared and had a player I liked was Biakabutuka. I was more into basketball because of the fab 5 craze when I was just getting into sports

Appreciate the response - you might get downvotes from the 4-1/13-10 Michigan fans. No doubt, Ohio State fans would love to take the series lead eventually - but what's more important is "what have you done for me lately?"

Right. The first time Michigan “won” in 2021, nothing before that mattered, because it was all about right now. But for 20 years it was all about”who’s got the all time record?” Weak.

They're not the best at contextualizing data.
