This coming from a fan, yes they are that bad.

the QB carousel is a joke. They should've sold their souls to land Pryor. (who btw has stayed out of trouble for all those on here that were adamant he was a thug)

I'm actually one too. I think it has something to do with the fact that they were on TV every week when I was a kid. Combine that with the helmets (thought that they were really cool when I was a kid) and I just starting following and rooting for them. Then I had a cousin that went there too, so that was the icing on the cake.

Where I grew up, you were either a Michigan fan or a Notre Dame fan.

I was not/am not/never will be, a Notre Dame fan.

My old man's alma mater. Was tatooed in me as a youngster, and was never able to shake it. My old bedroom had the helmet stenciled in all over. He even pulled a fast one on me in my grade school yearbook, and changed my ambition from Irish sheep herder to Lifelong Michigan fanatic. My friends still break my nutzz over that one.

well that is respectable... just didnt expect to see a Pennsylvania guy to be a Michigan fan.. but you have to root for you and your family's alma maters..

My mom graduated from Penn State

My father from Temple

Me @ University of Arizona

& my bro is currently a WVU student/partier.

So those are the college teams I go for (well and the Gators in the SEC just cause I would get shot around here if I didnt root for them)

michigan has way more trouble than just qb. when coach rod gets that team rebuilt, it will look more like wvu, not michigan.

a side note about the spread, stoops and part of the oklahoma staff spent time in T-town this summer. word is Saban and Stoops were working on some defenses for the spread. just curious to see what they worked up.

They should be a lot higher then that. They are impossible to win the NaTional Title this year. Im guess 490-1 is a huge underlay.
