They should just draw from their own experience. The "Fab 5" was the single dirtiest group of scumbags east of SMU. They somehow forget that.

Not a big deal. They have to tell themselves something to feel better. It's also noteworthy that in that same topic of the tattoo "scandal", you'll never hear a Michigan fan bring up the fact that their 2009 team was cheating with regard to practice time (the reason they were on probation). We still kicked their asses that year. And call me crazy, but I'd venture a guess that extra practice time probably has a bigger impact to how you play on Saturdays than some kids selling their personal items. Michigan fans are just comical to watch. You can't take it seriously.

And you wonder why I vehemently hate scUM and its sorry band of fans!

Bunch of clueless asses with a serious cause of penis envy.

Don't worry, an ass whipping is coming Sept 1 and Nov. 24th.

That's hilarious. Talk about digging and scratching for any reason to excuse to justify losing for so long. A couple sold key chains and that is the only reason they lost the game for a decade. Heck even Rich Rod probably would have dominated us if it wasn't for those two key chains last year. But the fab 5 was mediocre. But to be fair, there was a couple of people with at least a little bit of common sense. A couple...

So in their own examples they must have less respect for their football team for cheating practices in the summer or is it different because its their team that did it?

why com u go two da mishigan wabsit, wut porpoise doth thut serf ?

ya, they would think.....finally, a buckeye fan who we can understand lol

hahaha LOLZ

If y'all are too proud or too ignorant to admit there's a huge differnce between accidentally practicing for 20 extra minutes a week because of a misunderstaning about vague rules over whether "stretching" counts as "practicing", as opposed to having your head coach lie to the NCAA repeatedly about his own cheating (knowingly playing inelligible players), then you have no business bashing another fanbase for having a debate over whether they'd rather win while cheating or suck while not disgracing their tradition/reputation/image. Tressell and OSU and Tatgate were a national punchline; RichRod and UM and Stretchgate were a footnoted anamoly with which most coaches and fans actually sympathized.

Look I realize I'm registering perilously high on the douche-meter today, but fellas your anti-Michigan jabs lately are getting laughably baseless. This board wasn't like this a couple years ago. Is it because now the shoe's on the other foot, now you've got the controversial hated coach with baggage trying to run a gimmicky high-school spread offense and dissing his instate recruiting base, while we've got the saintly low-profile figure running the pro-style (err... eventually) who's cleaning-up in the midwestern recruiting region, is it this juxtaposition that's got everyone all pissy and twisted? Is it the nervousnous of the unknown? Is it because you simply lost to Michigan for the first time in several years? Whatever it is, it says a lot about who you are, and how you're handling yourselves as a fanbase during this challenging period.

What helps you more at winning a football game "stretching" or selling your own ring!!!??? Roll tide ! That game can't come fast enuff!!

Yeah that's why I don't go over there. People from our side of the fence will almost never agree with much their people say, and so you get flame wars ensuing. Kinda like what native_tsun is doing in our threads here in the past 12-14 hours. Just stirring the pot because like I say there is very little the two sides will agree on in general.
