Some UM blogger pushed me to this...




To be fair, can we assume that football pre-1950 was not exactly relevant? Sure, I can understand why you would not want to consider this, seeing as the majority of the UM program's success came pre-1950 but honestly, do those numbers really have anything to do with your current program? More specifically, does that have anything to do with anything but the 10 year old sweatshirts you wear with your "NC years" on it? Regarding split championships...that is what they are...split, noted as so.
I give you statistics...
Post 1950
tOSU (2) consensus National Championships ('68, '02 BCS); (4) split National Championships ('54, '57, '61, '70)
UM (1) split National Championship ('97)
So Ohio State has 6 claimed Championships since 1950 and two of them are %100 inarguable.
Michig@n has 1 claimed championship since 1950, which is also claimed by Nebraska
One of the best parts about this is that Michigan State...yes Michigan State, has one consensus Championship and two split! That’s three claimed NC's...ouch UM, ouch.


What have you done for me lately?
Yes, tOSU has lost two straight NCG's...and that made their BCS record...
tOSU
4-2 (wins: '99 Sugar, '02 NCG Fiesta, '03 Fiesta, '05 Fiesta; losses: '06 NCG, '07 NCG)
UM
1-2 (wins: '00 Orange; losses: '03, '04 Rose)


(years are listed as season, not bowl date)


I respect UM but I can't understand the arrogance. The "we are the greatest" shit should probably get some actual meaningful wins behind it sometime this decade, just maybe.
Bring your hate to Columbus, 11/22/08, good luck.
