    I developed a deep hatred of Michigan like 10 years ago when I went to a bar in Dallas to watch the Red River Rivalry game. There were a bunch of Michigan fans at the bar and they were the most bougie and douchy fans I’ve ever dealt with. I’m sure that’s not all Michigan fans, but man they left such a bad impression, I’ve actively routed against them like they are TAMU or OU.

      My dad and grandfather went to Michigan so I grew up as a fan (obviously I became a Texas fan when I went there). I almost went there myself, so take my 2 cents with a grain of salt.

      I understand that a lot of Michigan fans probably seem stuck up to neutral observers, but I feel like many flagship schools (including Texas) are in the same boat. Plus, Texas and Michigan were struggling for so long recently I feel a sense of solidarity between the two programs. They even have their OU (OSU) and A&M (MSU)

      I’ve had a similar experience with Michigan fans. But also with tOSU fans lol. So the cheating tips the scales for me this year and I’m hoping the buckeyes win it. Not gonna say I’m actually rooting for them though haha
