What I find funny is that losers from sorry behind teams think this stuff hurts me. I just know what it feels like to finally lose a couple of games in a row. I would still rather be Michigan than Illinois that does not know what a Big Ten Title is. And for all the Big Ten teams that are gloating right now, you will still have to beat them later in the year. Talk to me when you play Michigan and then run your mouth when you win.

BTW, Rutgers beat Illinois two years in a row if I am not mistaken. Concentrate on beating a top 5 team before you come in this pond. ;)

Peace

It would've been just as easy to say they'd rather play the Cubs, but he didn't say that.

WOW, we in WV have been in that pond and we would rather be in the winner's pond! :D But thanks for the offer!

..ahem...2001...

And how many 0-11 season have you had since then? :D

And when was the last time Illinois beat Michigan? Talk to me after October 20. :D

Peace

Don't you mean concentrate on beating <B>any</B> team? ;)

1999 - 35-29, @The Medium-Sized House

Are you sure you want me to? :D

Hey, look at the bright side, Jeff. You get a chance at redemption this weekend against another D2 team-- Notre Dame.

Well, I guess U of M has finally gotten the howler monkey off their backs.

Not really. They still have to beat a D1 team.

How many 0-11 seasons have you had since then? ;)

It sounds to me like you need to pick better teams if all you can say is we beat a big time program almost 10 years ago.

Peace

How about saying the Oregon Ducks beat your big time program almost 3 weeks ago. ;)

It's even worse than thought for Michigan. By the AP on yahoo sports.

ANN ARBOR, Mich. (AP) -- The Big Ten may take up to three weeks to decide whether to discipline Michigan's football program for using an ineligible player.
Athletic director Bill Martin said he didn't know whether penalties, if any, might include forfeiture of the Wolverines' 14-9 victory over then-No.10 Penn State on Sept. 22. It was one of three games in which freshman safety Artis Chambers played this season.
Martin said Saturday that the university immediately contacted the Big Ten after learning that Chambers was ineligible under the conference's freshman rules. Chambers, who enrolled at Michigan in January, cannot play the remainder of the season and did not travel with the team for Saturday's game at Northwestern. The Fort Wayne, Ind., native can still practice with the Wolverines.
Big Ten spokesman Scott Chipman declined Monday to elaborate on the process a compliance subcommittee would use in determining possible sanctions against Michigan.
Martin and athletic department spokesman Bruce Madej said Monday that they could not talk about Chambers' case because of privacy laws. Coach Lloyd Carr refused to discuss the situation at his weekly news conference Monday.
Martin acknowledged Saturday that the university had misinterpreted Big Ten freshman eligibility rules. "Obviously, I take full responsibility for that," he said. "This isn't on Lloyd -- it's on us." Martin said he hoped the matter would be resolved sometime this week.
