Go Bucs?

It is either that or root for Hairball. I choose the Bucs.

 

[NU Houston]

Definitely cheering for OSU. Harbaugh has yet to beat them as a head coach, which is hilarious. I hope he loses again today.

It's a really tough call. Michigan has been my most-disliked Big Ten team all my life. But if our goal is NU winning the B1G ASAP, weakening the hegemon seems like a necessary predicate. Losing to UM is an event the OSU program hasn't had to deal with in the Urban-Day era. The potential for maximum fan base toxicity, transfer portal drama and a reshaping is too strong to let Michigan arrogance prevent us from appreciating what the win might do. Go Michigan, then go Wisconsin a week later.

It’s Big 1 and little 13 these days. OSU is playing a different game.

Like Houston, I think Harbaugh’s losing streak is hilarious. I’ll be fine with either result, but I’ll actively enjoy an OSU blowout.

Every other week, I want OSU to lose.

Any Michigan loss is a good one. The one and only time I've "rooted" for them was when Tennessee was kicking our *** in Tampa, and I was entirely sick of Rocky Top and "SEC! SEC!"

Meanwhile, up I-4 in Orlando, MichiGag was thrashing Florida, and I gritted my teeth and shouted Go Blue.

It was not a proud moment

How can anyone root for the OSU evil empire in this game??

It's now 10-7 Bucs Michigag had a great opportunity and blew it.

I don’t feel the need to root for anyone in this game. I can’t even get worked up on behalf of the meteor.

 

[SLUCATS210]

I think NU competes with Michigan more for recruits than OSU. Plus academically we stand out more when we are compared with OSU. For that reason, I believe a Michigan loss helps us more than an OSU loss.

 

[Seattle_Cat]

Micjhigag is dominating in all aspects of the game. I am surprised.

Harbaugh won the offseason. Big staff changes brought energy back to the program. Someone should take notes...

 

[NUCat320]

Will this inspire the Illini?

If Michigan can beat their longtime nemesis, maybe just maybe we have a chance today!

 

[GECat2]

GO BLUE!!!!!!

 

[Fanaticat98]

I don’t relish either side winning this. But for parity in the B1G it may begrudgingly be better for Mich to win one. Both for parity in the East and parity for the more workmanlike West teams (Iowa/Wisky this year) to win a CCG.

It is beyond my understanding. Folks keep saying Michigan fans are arrogant. Arrogance is way better than that collection of a-holes who follow the Buckeyes.

Thankfully Michigan won.
