Get ITT and tell me why we don't. Here we are the Monday after a comeback win on the road, and half the fanbase is doom and gloom. I'd venture to bet that a good portion of those already giving up on this year, are the same one's who are selling their OSU tickets every other year to the highest bidder wearing Scarlet and Grey.
Did you notice how few Ohio St fans were in Beaver Stadium on Saturday? I know for a fact their fans are afraid of making that trip, and in the same breath, think they own the Big House. Don't tell me it's because of our record against them either. Making the trip to Columbus in the 90's was not a fun experience for Michigan fans, even though we were dominating the series at that time. I'd even make the claim that going to Columbus in the 90's was a lot harder than it is today. Due in large to the series record, as of recent. My point is, they fought back hardest when their backs were against the wall. Our fan base folds, at the first sign of problems.
We want our cake, and to eat it too. We want to be at the top without putting any work in for it. We want to have a home field advantage but don't want to have to stand on third down. Every year it's the same song and dance. Everyone is on board with hopes sky-high, then bail when we aren't beating teams by as much as OSU or PSU. Get a grip people. Have some damn pride. I'd rather lose with Michigan, than win with anyone else. So tell me, do we have the softest fanbase in CFB?
