The Bo Schembechler versus Woody Hayes period,  both teams were good.

We had a fundraiser back just out of this period for a local high school teacher from Brookfield Ohio who had MS and a young family.  I got to meet Earle Bruce and Bo at the event.  Earle was ok but Bo was really an amazing guy came all the way down at his own expense.  Amazing event.

I try to measure all coaches since on both sides by their examples.  Hopefully the rivalry gets back to that #1 vs #2 standard.  Will it, who knows.

Most of them were just real annoying. Spoiled trolls. Especially young buckeye fans that don't know disappointment.

They can hear all this shit until I get bored. Eat shit THE Ohio State

And I’m okay with UM fans rubbing it in…let’s be honest they waited long enough. 
 

When the coach gives bulletin board material though…I’ll say thank you as an OSU fan

It's been 729 days since OSU last beat Michigan

Only because Hairball pussied out in 2020.

I’m looking forward to witnessing UM get punked by an SEC team.

Especially by buckeye fanatics...... but there were some funny memes.  Not bad if it doesn't really get nasty.

Same thing as the poli stuff but far less mean not to mention incorrect.......ok I won't mention it.

A lot of nonsense in that 2016 game we don't have to rehash

* Was the win OSU vacated, but that was before 2011

I got tickets to the title game so I'm riding that high

Have fun. 

@tiamat63 said:

What * have I missed?

We'll see how Harbaugh is able to maintain his staff and deal with roster turnover. MacDonald is my biggest concern.   But 2016 was an upperclassman laden squad and they couldn't get by an offensively inept Buckeyes team.    There isn't any type of history of that man making this a yearly thing.   Credit to their coaches, UM was ready and outplayed us.

@mld-woody said:

Even the one with an * by it...

Or wait, that was probably before 2011

Either way. This is still fun. 

Go Blue

729 only because of the covid-19 year break.

I wouldn't play the numbers game and Michigan it's not your strong suit this century....... just sayin'.

Ah yes, from Eleven Warriors...right

Ultimately Day said it and you can sit here and pretend it works into your "class" argument. Hey, at least it wasn't Day making a video of him stepping on a Michigan player's jersey 

Kind of hard to go on and on about "class" when your team got to it's current heights behind "Youngstown Boys" Tressel and "deleted texts to protect a domestic abuser" Meyer. The latter of which absolutely provided a program to Day on a silver platter

Arrogant for sure.  Stupid too. I’ve never taken any butt kicking of UM (we’ve had a lot over the past couple decades) for granted. I thought in almost every year over the past two decades OSU has kept away from making these kinds of statements and doing these kinds of things…maybe because there were a few scares along the way close games to keep OSU centered but honestly it has been the trademark of the UM program. “Blood on the field” to “guarantee win” to Mike Hart in general.
 

I think this year was very workmanlike for UM. Focused for the most part for the entire year. I don’t know how the heck you lost to Sparty but Hats off to your team.

I hope next year when OSU is a year older in some key spots and hopefully wiser the order is restored.

Not to be the fan that complains about the refs, but the big ten admitted they screwed up some calls in the MSU game, and the CFP committee immediately ranked us higher, and one rep said they still thought we were a better team. That might help explain that. 

Harbaugh cleaned defensive house this off-season and it seems to have worked beautifully. Ballsy to do. I expect Day to do something similar.

And how would you describe Day's comment of "hanging 100" on us? Or an OSU defender posting a video stomping on our backup QBs jersey?

Were either of those stupid? (or classless)

If only Harbaugh had the class to say he'll "hang 100" on them....

I'm sure that was his intention   -but-  he could have said it better,. or maybe not I don't really know that much about him personally maybe he's just not a good public speaker.

Most P5 head coaches are at least decent at it.....it goes along with the job..... just sayin'.

It was very clear. You don't go out and directly say it. That was the point. 

@mld-woody said:

Haha alright. You're either doing this on purpose or you really don't get it. Entertaining either way. 

If only Harbaugh had the class of Urban Meyer, huh?

@browns149 said:

Not missing the point at all. Harbut is a classless individual, and he proves it every time he opens his mouth

He had EVERY coaching advantage growing up in the family he did. So him saying that about Day, when in fact he has had it a lot easier in his career is a joke
