I like to think of myself as a pretty open minded college football fan, but I know that I can be a little bit of a homer sometimes. But my god are Michigan fans the biggest bunch of cocky a$$holes I have ever witnessed. I read Mgoblog for $hits and gigs and I end up wanting to reach through the computer screen and strangle the fools who post on there. They really think they're an elite program again. Also for some reason they believe that our schedule is pathetic compared to theirs even though they play in the biggest pile of crap conference with no real opposition other than "Ohio".
Just had to get that off my chest...
The funny thing is, living on the east coast I never thought Michigan was a big rivalry or really understood the hate or the concept of dumb@ss Michigan fans. The Michigan fans I knew/know out here tend to be Michigan grads... who are relatively intelligent people, especially their engineers. Then I started doing the whole internet thing a year or so after I graduated.
The amount of mouth breathers on the internet who actually think:
1. That we're "chicken" when they asked out of the series earlier and we just accelerated the end of the series. There are also comments on record from their AD talking about why it was going to be hard/impossible to keep the series with an expanded conference schedule. I mean... seriously? You have to be beyond ignorant or stupid to believe that kind of crap.
2. That we were "lucky" last year, but refuse to acknowledge any luck whatsoever in the 2011 game where they had a fumble bounce into Denard's arms for a TD, Tommy Rees magically fumble the ball while going in for the game clinching score, and ND blow a lead with Michigan on their own 20 yard line with 23 seconds left in the game.
3. That Michigan is a superior football team and national brand to Notre Dame on every level, and that Notre Dame is "irrelevant" but Michigan who can't even regularly win one of the worst conferences around is the pinnacle of relevance.

As an aside, from everything I've heard there will not be a game next year. I think the only thing that can change that would be a ND win so they really want one more shot OR Michigan not wanting to cancel the game anymore because of Hoke's comments... so cancelling it would seem quite hypocritical. I was told many months ago before Hoke started running his mouth that the game for '14 was already cancelled in principle if a contractual settlement could be ironed out. Then again... we wanted out of ASU and that didn't end up coming to fruition. So we'll see what happens.
