"Great Day of football...Michigan won and that team south of us lost to Oregon. Go Blue!"

"I don't know why ppl put up with the most overrated coach ever. You guys are Michigan, should be a powerhouse. He needs to go."
DC conceded,
"I hate Michigan. But, I love seeing this. coolest stadium in all of sports and arguably the most intense fan base. I went once, pretty fun!"
