What insecurity? What faulty logic?
I had a friend once, where I couldn't tell if they were laughing or crying sometimes. Usually it's a bit easier to tell with written words, but I guess I mistook the two again.
Should I feel inadequate b/o UM's national reputation? Do you think about this shit before you write?
Worse than the Patriots fans bitching about Deflategate? Or more recently, the non-DPI call at the end of Seattle game? Seems to me, Michigan fans are pretty typical sports fans. Probably somewhat better educated and more polite than Ohio and MSU fans, on average, but that goes without saying.
You've got me there. You're right. The fact that Michigan should have won or would have won an upset if not for poor officiating doesn't make them the better team any more than the 30-27 final score proves that Ohio is the better team.
Obviously not. Ohio fans are even photoshopping video stills to "prove" that Barrett crossed the 15-yard-line. Doubt they'll ever accept it.
UM's national reputation as a place where kids who have money but can't get into tier 1 colleges go? Yeah, you should feel inadequate. The pompous posting about academics is pretty laughable if you knew anything about the pedigrees of many of the folks posting here.
I was comparing UM to OSU - which is admittedly difficult in and of itself, but for other reasons. And how OSU views itself against UM. Not UM against Everybody. Stay with me.
I think his point was more that it's like BU and BC having the same debate while MIT and Harvard kids look on.
Trust me, following along with your line of thinking isn't hard.
Not even. It's more like BC kids talking about how much better they are academically than BC while MIT and Harvard kids look on.
If you look upthread, I was trying to respond to a poster who was wondering about the nature of the rivalry. I was partially explaining OSU's obsession with UM.
I don't know, man. That east coast/west coast/southern/midwestern/western/foreign kids want to attend one of the best public schools in the US doesn't bother me. Congrats to you for being the, uh, biggest school in Ohio.
Can you expand on how osu serves Ohio than umich serves mich. Being serious - is it just that they have more in state?
Michigan in-state tuition is $13,800. Ohio's is $10,000. Not a huge difference. B students in Michigan go to MSU.
Are you kidding? Ohio fans are whining every bit as much as Michigan fans in this thread -- about anyone daring to point out the horrible one-sided officiating -- even though you won the game.
If you are from out of state then UM isn't a bargain, let'a not pretend that it is. They also don't go need-blind for out of state kids, so they are looking for the cash (ftr, I don't mind that, they are a state school) not the talent. You went to grad school there. Let's not go too far on this one.
Compared to private schools it is a big savings. I saved myself/my parents $40 - $50K at least by going to a state school (undergrad).
This is good to hear.
I don't disagree generally that state schools are great value, but out of state tuition at UM for undergrad is not a big savings vs. the elite East Coast schools, particularly because UM either does not give out of state kids scholarships or financial aid (I had been told this was the case but could be wrong) or is very meager with them.
My uncle went to OSU med and was one of the top pediatric urologists in the US, and built up one of the best pediatric surgical staffs in the US out of 90 percent tOSU grads, in Ohio.
And the SoSH UM contingent has proven itself to be whiny as shit.
First of all, never dis the big cat.
Fine line bw anger and whining but I hear you.
No anger is saying that was a bad call, but we weren't the better team on that day and we deserved to lose because we still messed up x, y and z. Even Pats fans can mostly do that in game threads.
