[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]UMD has 1.5 national championships in football since 1950 the modern age of football. When Michigan closes the gap with .5 more championships I’ll sit up and notice. Cramming in with 100000 people and spending massive resources for a non championship program of more than 70 years seems good for people with nothing better to do.[/quote]

Foolish comment.[/quote]

You’re right . Michigan’s 1 national championship in 70 + years is awesome !!
.5 more and you catch mighty UMD and that’s a tough task.[/quote]

So you've randomly decided that 1950 constitutes the "modern age of football" in order to say UMD has won more championships? That's funny. But why start there?

Michigan has had 9 national championships. In two of them, a future U.S. president played for the Wolverines. (Gerald Ford, 1932 and 1933)

GO BLUE!

Yes. Thank you.

Michigan is also the winningest program in college football. And the players actually do have to take classes and do well. They have one of the highest GPAs of any college football program.

Michigan is not Alabama. Recruits turn down Michigan every year because they don’t think they can handle the academics.[/quote]

Uh huh.

1 championship since the 1940s

UMD has 1.5

[b]100000 seat stadium seems a bit much.[/b] Get a smithsonian or Kennedy center .. jeez.[/quote]

How can it be too much when, until the pandemic, every Michigan game since 1975 had 100,000 people in attendance?

GO BLUE!

I agree. Just like Trump rally’s … people can’t believe they completely sell out but I say it’s great for people to be happy.[/quote]

1. Trump rallies don’t sell out.

2. Most people who go to Michigan games didn’t vote for Trump. It’s Ann Arbor, not Tuscaloosa.[/quote]

Still I’m glad the 100000 a game football fans are happy despite having fewer national championships than Umd for the last 70+ years. It shows perseverance and doggedness. UMD alum say if at first you don’t succeed … try again … then quit .. no sense in being a damn fool about it.  Both philosophies have their merit.[/quote]

Keep telling yourself you have more national championships and that your program is therefore more successful. Maybe one day someone else will agree with you … but probably not because it’s nonsense.[/quote]
