Arrogant or confident?
I would imagin that if UM was having our kind of success on the field and on the recruiting trail, UM would be a little bit more confident too.. It just comes with the territory man. You win you have the right to be proud. All that behind me now, I can truly say that UM is on the right track recruiting mainly OL and DL difference makers. Taking the all the right steps for sure. Gonna be a great game in a couple of weeks!

back to reality? really? no offense but our best teams havent even been beat by teams outside the SEC in years, much less throttled. I would say that the "reality" is that the top of the SEC is just that much better than everyone else. so IMO while we may get a little cocky at times about our football, we have the right to be, and we ARE living in reality until other teams can prove us wrong on a consistent basis.
on a side note, i am very much looking forward to the opener and have a lot of respect for the program CBH is building at Michigan.

So you mean to tell me you've never, NOT ONE TIME EVER, rubbed it into an ohio state fans face when yall beat them? If there was no such thing as bragging right college football wouldnt mean what it does to us. Im not saying people should be douches about it, but as fans bragging about winning is all we get out of it.
I enjoy watching the games. Following my team, etc... Way more than i could ever enjoy bragging about it. Of course everyone jokes around with other fans but I don't go around bragging constantly. If I bring up beating another fans team it's usually in defense to them taking a shot at Michigan. WillyWolverine

of course you enjoy watching the games, we all do. but if you watched the games but never talked about them to anyone or never said another word about them after the fact then it would be pretty boring. im not saying be a douche, im just saying that the reason you get defensive when someone calls out your team is because you take a sense of pride in winning and if you respond at all to those people it shows that you care beyond just "enjoying watching the games." I didnt come over here to brag or "be a douche" and im not trying to get into a pissing contest, but when i see another fan calling out our whole fan base i have to come to our defense.

Well i see a big difference in talking about the games and bragging about the wins. I very much enjoy talking about the games. I don't get anything out of bragging to other fans.
Look I wasn't trying to be a dick to all Bama fans but it's just my opinion that Bama could use a couple 9-3 seasons to make the portion of your fan base that are loud obnoxious blowhards shut up.

Believe me, we had our share of 9-3 (and way worse) seasons before Saban came to town. I know there are punks in every fan base, but really you only notice them as much when their teams are winning. Thats just how it is. Give Brady Hoke a few years in Ann Arbor and im sure we will be noticing the Douches in your fan base as well. Like i said, i meant no harm, Just had to stick up for the majority of the Bama fans out there who dont happen to be much different than you.

Well said Shane. This is the reason I spoke up as well. It just rubbed me the wrong way when all the Bama fans in the thread were being polite, trying to talk about the game, the excitement, and the prestige of the two programs; then multiple posters attack us as a whole, seemingly out of the blue.
Meanwhile, back at the ranch...
Barely 2 weeks left until an awesome game. Looking forward to hearing Brady Hoke's favorite music "the Sound of Football"

Well it has rubbed me the wrong way from all the Bama fans on the Blue Board acting like Michigan has no business being on the field with Bama. Just because the Bama fans in this thread were acting reasonable doesn't discount all those other fans.

best solution...dont get on TBB...i gave up the main boards back when we were on the old site. all they are is a bunch of 40 year olds who live in their parents basement beating off to the "hot girl" threads, and telling everyone on the board every time they take a dump. Stick to the teams boards and youre more like to find the conversation youre looking for.

It's great to renew a rivalry of two of the top programs in college football history! As a child I was always drawn to Michigan's uniforms and the cool striping on the helmets. Michigan fans have class and we look forward to a great time in the big D inside - Jerry World! ps bring wallets - I hear beers are $12!
Yeah, beers are expensive there, also if you bring a date and she wants a margarita it's $22.
Prices are ridiculous at Cowboy Stadium.This post was edited by TAMUWolverine on 8/17/2012 at 10:01 AM
