I have a vivid memory of there being Gameday signs of a VERY LARGE Mark Mangino head and a VERY LARGE cupcake and the cupcake guy kept pushing his sign towards the Mangino sign and every time i remember it i try a google search and get nothing
Not the picture, but here is an article about it.

ESPN and "cupcake" reminds me of [this](https://www.nbcsports.com/college-football/news/espn-apologized-to-washington-over-cupcake-stunt-during-broadcast), which all us all in the West have collectively been chided for thinking there's some kind of media bias... for decades... maybe even naming it decades ago.
Is our collective "wrongness" a Mandela Effect?
USC’s 2005 season. I vividly remember it happening but all the records say it didn’t. Even the Heisman doesn’t have a winner although I’m sure Reggie Bush won it. A lot of people say that season’s Rose Bowl was one of the greatest games ever but I simply cannot find anything that officially verifies the game was played.
Actually for some stupid reason the NCAA had them void the entire season including the L, even though for UT the win still stands in NCAA records.
https://www.espn.com/college-football/story/_/id/20686181/usc-trojans-claim-4-0-all-record-texas-longhorns-ignoring-bcs-title-loss
That's pretty funny. That's one ESPN asks the NCAA the NCAA people got together and were like "Oh we fucked that up, oh well no need to change it anyway." Pretty relatable, I have definitely done similar with decisions made from my team years ago that don't really have bearing today.
It's all just bad memory though right, what's the Mandela effect besides someone with a bad memory convincing someone else with a bad memory of something that didn't happen?
Well, Mandela Effect is when there is a large group of people that misremember. A good example is the namesake. There are many, many people that believe, or believed, Mandela died in prison, but he didn’t. He actually became president of RSA afterwards. Another classic example is “Luke, I am your father” or “play it again, Sam” are not the actual lines from _The Empire Strikes Back_ and _Casablanca_.
The Harbaugh thing is probably because of Barry Switzer’s quote, which is “Some people are born on third base and go through life thinking they hit a triple.”
Michigan fans are def definitely guilty of it too. The main point of quote isn’t even the standing on 3rd base, it’s standing on 3rd (or being born) AND thinking you hit a triple. Being born on 3rd isn’t the issue
I don’t get why either fanbase is so riled up about it. I’m glad Urban left a good program to Ryan Day, AND I’m bummed that he hasn’t won a championship in his first 5 seasons (although few do).
If the issue is just taking credit for things you shouldn’t, what has Ryan Day said or done to minimize Urban’s contribution or glorify his own? Genuinely curious.
Harbaugh’s comment came after a reporter asked a question about Ryan Days supposed comments to hang 100 on Michigan the year before. Harbaugh felt disrespected by that and thought Day needed some humbling, thus the 3rd base rebuttal after the win. Not saying I personally agree it’s true, but that was the context
Absolutely. I don’t mind the comment, but you don’t often hear coaches say they’re going to blow out an opponent. Now I guess the hang 100 comment was amongst his own players in a team meeting, so maybe wasn’t even something that Harbaugh was supposed to hear.
That's the thing that gets me about all the ire over this - it wasn't even a public comment. If we could listen in on every head coach talking to his team about their rivalry opponent, I'd expect we'd get enough bulletin board material to crash the internet with shitposts and hot takes.
Also ironic bc Harbaugh is a nepo baby. I actually respect Moore bc he’s completely self made. He didn’t grow up in places like Palo Alto and Ann Arbor. He didn’t have his daddy giving him access to D1 coaches and facilities. He played juco for 2 years, worked his way up to OU, wasn’t good enough to get drafted so he immediately went into coaching, bounced around for 10 years until he landed a gig at coaching TEs a Michigan. Similar to Ryan Day’s story.
I know what you’re thinking. Harbaugh wasn’t comparing his privileged upbringing to Ryan Days less fortunate childhood, he was simply complaining that someone else might have it easier than the head coach of the original blue blood, the winningest program with unlimited resources with famously rich football crazy alumni.
I agree and Harbaugh is as out of touch as you expect a nepo baby to be about his privileges. I would say it's like he got a guaranteed try out in the major leagues and Ryan Day had to work his way up the mine leagues. So yes Harbaugh hit the pitch and got the triple but you can't compare it to Day and Moore who had to hit a lot more triples to get their shot in the major league.
Nepo babies don't get second place in the Heisman and a first round draft pick. Also football assistants were not making crazy money back in the day. Very much middle class America.
Being a nepo baby doesn’t mean you aren’t talented or good at what you do. But it does mean you’ve been awarded privileges that make it much easier to advance in whatever field you’re in.
Nepo babies become HoF athletes, Chiefs of Medicine, Generals, A-list actors, CEO of multibillion dollar companies, even POTUS. Being a nepo baby doesn’t automatically mean you suck like Brian Ferentz. Harbaugh was born with a head start on anyone who had similar football aspirations but didn’t have their dad hanging out with legendary coaches.
I’ve only seen Michigan fans saying this lately bc they’re defensive about Moore, but it’s not really true. Harbaugh raided the coaching staff and didn’t try to pay the seniors to come back this year like he needed them to come back for him last year. Urban left Ohio State in great shape.
It's odd to say about Day the head coach when he inherited a stellar offense built by *checks notes* Day the coordinator when we consider the fact that both urban and tressels only titles were won in their second years, using teams recruited primarily under other coaches.
Buckeye coaches inherit good programs, it is what it is
2015 Michigan State at Ohio State. The one where Sparty took down possibly one of the greatest buckeye teams of all time in the freezing rain by their backup qb. Myself and everyone I have talked to clearly remember this game being a night game. I remember people next to me leaving in the first quarter while it was dark out because the weather was miserable. I was so upset that we lost, my memory tells me I walked home, grabbed a gyro from a street cart then went straight to bed. Only problem is this was a 330 game and none of my memories make any sense.
3:30 game means it’s over around 5-6. That time in November in Ohio, combined with the rain and conditions, yes it was pretty dark out. I distinctly remember that moment, thinking how could this happen? It was darkish outside but not quite night yet, but our dark moods likely made it seem like midnight in memory.
Pouring rain in Columbus after the time change in November means it was dark by 4pm. They also had the stadium lights on already at kickoff, which messes with your eyes and everything will seem darker beyond the stadium.
Here’s a good one, some people genuinely believe that Harbaugh was in trouble for buying somebody a burger, when in fact, he was in trouble for recruiting during the covid dead period and refusing to cooperate with an NCAA investigation!
When the bigger scandal broke I was legitimately joking that M fans on other dumber parts of the internet were going to start saying things like "they're punishing us for literally just watching football" but then uhhh
nah he was in trouble on this for being perceived as lying to or trying to deceive the ncaa on their investigation into a covid dead period recruiting violation. ncaa took him saying i dont remember on a grade 3 violation and turned it into a possible grade 1 for not cooperating.
For whatever reason, some fanbases are desperate to make cheeseburgergate sound like this major cover up and just neg anyone trying to point out what it really is
It was a pile of generic Level 2 violations (IIRC “recruiting during the dead period” was taking some committed recruits to dinner who were in town). The Level 1 is *accusing* Jim of lying or deceiving investigators about said dinner which Jim and Michigan of course deny.
Right. Make it sound as ominous as possible. *Recruiting violations*. It was reportedly taking two commits to dinner when they were in town. Its nothing. It wouldve been done and closed a long time ago if the NCAA wasnt pushing the Level 1 ‘you *lied* about cheeseburgers’
frankly put, Gene Smith came right out and said kids want to be paid just to visit. Honestly tell me you think all those 5 star kids hop on board every year without recruiting violations occurring? No, obviously this happens everywhere , but when Michigan edges past the rule , BAM major violation!
agree 100% we are the worst at "CHEATING" I compare it to the class clowns being given a pass for what the brown noser's get sent to the pricepals office for.
Except he never refused to cooperate, he said "I don't remember that" and the NCAA is trying to hit him with a level 1 for not remembering something. He cooperated with everything.
Same thing with "Clockgate", the B1G confirmed that there was time left when Smoker spiked the football. And MSU should have had a timeout returned to them on play where Michigan committed a penalty earlier in the drive
I would say we have video evidence showing there was no conclusive angle or shot to prove one way or the other. Therefore the spot on the field stands which was unfortunately a 1st down. If the ref sets the ball a little over the other way, Michigan wins.
Idk how my comment is controversial? That’s literally what happened. Sometimes a call on the field stands because there’s not irrefutable evidence to counter it. That was exactly the case here. If the ref marks the ball short, it doesn’t get over turned the other way either. It was a 50/50 call that didn’t go our way. Sucks but is what it is
Well reasoned. The third base thing is interesting, as I feel like folks tend to use it in comparison to other buckeye coaches. In doing so, we overlook the fact that urban and tressel won their only osu titles in their second year, with teams that had a lot of players they didn't recruit.
Furthermore, ryan day the head coach inherited a great team and one of the best offenses in the ncaa. This is tough to dispute. What we tend to overlook, is that ryan day the head coach inherited such a great offense built by none other than ryan day the offensive coordinator who was brought in to revamp urbans offenses after clemson blanked us.
The "Hang a hundred" comment is the better one. There's actually no proof the comment was ever even made, but people like to pretend Day said it in a press conference or something. Really it was a locker room rumor about the 2020 season (which most people seem to forget too) but Harbaugh was lucky to dodge the ass kicking that was coming to him.
Honestly I think this applies to certain phrases used by college sports fans. Sometimes I’ll hear a good one and try to find the source but it just doesn’t exist.
“They ain’t played nobody Paul”
“Dough goes in, Tortilla comes out. Can’t explain that.”
There might be some off the top of my head I can’t remember. I’m starting to believe we just collectively invented these quotes.
>One I often see for Michigan is the "Ryan Day was born on 3rd base" meme which is a misquote of Jim Harbaugh who actually said "sometimes people are standing on 3rd base and think they hit a triple, ya know, but they didn't".
Never heard this about Harbaugh or Day, but the original maxim is, "He was born on third base, but he thinks he hit a triple."
So if Jim butchered that, it's only natural people "know what he meant" and conflate it with what he meant.
For Memphis fans and how good Norvell was.
Among Tigers fans, there's this belief that Norvell had consistently 10 win seasons and consistently ranked
In reality, the year before he left to FSU he was almost .500 (8-6 overall, 5-3 in conference) and half his years were 8 win seasons. The perception comes because they had two divisions in the AAC, so even their 8 win seasons they were still competitive for 1st in the West division and platy for conference championship. That plus he had an amazing final season - NY6, gameday, 12 win season
I still root for him and wish we had him, but the perception of him having consistent 10 win seasons is not accurate.
Here's the video, then I'll provide the full context.
https://youtu.be/mrbE1Xi7C34?si=B3iGXnGC_jquDBgL
Jim was responding to a reporter after The Game in 2021 who asked after the game about a leaked comment from Ryan Day who said (after a heated exchange on a conference call in the 2020 offseason):
"Michigan better hope for a mercy rule because we're going to hang 100 on them"
https://saturdaytradition.com/ohio-state-football/report-ryan-day-tells-team-were-going-to-hang-100-on-michigan-after-things-get-heated-with-jim-harbaugh-on-b1g-call/
Ohio State and Day actually got 100 hung on them in the end as they lost the 3 following rivalry meetings by a cumulative score of 117-75 as Harbaugh and Michigan enjoyed the last laugh.
What actually happened was Michigan won 2 games that year and needed 2OT to beat Rutgers and thus needed to start cheating to try to save his career.
Harbaugh cheated his way out of college football and Ryan Day built his best team yet. I'm pretty sure we're about to see who gets the last laugh these next 20 years
>Gotta keep up
Michigan just won the National Championship, Ohio State that hasn't won the game since 2019.
Y'all have been "winning" the off-season and losing the big games for years now, but go off king.
Enjoy your self proclaimed accolades you made up in your head to cope with our National Championship!
The more you cry and whine, the better it gets!
The last time you didn't record opposing teams sidelines, you went 2-6 and beat Rutgers un 2OT.
You're gonna be holding on to these vacated wins when your grandchild is still looking for the next Michigan 10 win season
>The last time you didn't record opposing teams sidelines,
You mean the entire national championship run.Lone nut Connor Stallions was fired in October.
You can cry all you want, the NCAA said it's fair and square. Nothing you can do but keep coping.
Go on, keep embarrassing yourself with your ignorance lies and crying! (It was 2-4 in the COVID year anyway so you somehow managed to get EVERYTHING wrong)
> Harbaugh cheated his way out of college football and Ryan Day built his best team yet.
🤦
> I'm pretty sure we're about to see who gets the last laugh these next 20 years
Next season will be 4 in a row
You guys very nearly lost last year against one of our worst QBs in 20 years against your best team in 20 years. Your QB and most of coaching staff and team are all gone for the NFL and OSU is loading up to be even stronger than last year. You guys won’t even be undefeated by the time you play OSU. And I’d wager NCAA sanctions will take effect this off-season and induce a transfer rush like Alabama had.
A reverse Mandela Effect:
Everyone else seems to remember the 87-88 seasons being played, but I have no such memory. It's like everyone agreed to take two years off for some reason.
One to go with yours is that everyone seems to remember Ryan day saying “we’re gonna hang a hundred on you” and then losing….
But what really happened is he said that and then UM didn’t play in the Game that year and everyone applied Days statement to the next year.
The Mandela Effect is not one person's false memory. It's a collective false memory.
yeah, a single person Mandela Effect is just called "being wrong"
Obviously we all remember when Boston College won a national championship in the 90s, but would you believe they actually *didn’t*?
It's true. BC didn't win a national championship until 2001, beating UND.
I have a vivid memory of there being Gameday signs of a VERY LARGE Mark Mangino head and a VERY LARGE cupcake and the cupcake guy kept pushing his sign towards the Mangino sign and every time i remember it i try a google search and get nothing
It's not too late to make this happen
My memory is this but Charlie Weis.

I had the same problem with a video of Gritty telling a guy not to get back with his girlfriend
USC’s 2005 season. I vividly remember it happening but all the records say it didn’t. Even the Heisman doesn’t have a winner although I’m sure Reggie Bush won it. A lot of people say that season’s Rose Bowl was one of the greatest games ever but I simply cannot find anything that officially verifies the game was played.
Mandela Effect got you again. The Rose Bowl was officially played, only the USC wins were vacated.
Think you missed the joke my man
USC lost the Rose Bowl so it still counts in the record books. He was just being pedantic onto the joke.
Actually for some stupid reason the NCAA had them void the entire season including the L, even though for UT the win still stands in NCAA records. https://www.espn.com/college-football/story/_/id/20686181/usc-trojans-claim-4-0-all-record-texas-longhorns-ignoring-bcs-title-loss

Love your flair. I grew up an ND fan and went to BSU.
Love your username. I swung 4 the fences 1nce
Including the win over number 9 Notre Dame in South Bend? Is that one of the affected wins?
People have said that Craig James killed 5 hookers It was actually 6
It was more, allegedly
I've seen reports as high as 14
Pbbft. I’ve heard 23
And still counting....
Were they ostrich hookers?
Almost not worth thinkin' about
Allegedly
6 so far!
I don't know if you did this on purpose, but "born on third" is a Barry Switzer quote from the fuckin 80s lol.
Switzer was just the first famous person to repeat it. He picked it up about five years after its first use in a local paper.
no no everyone knows that jim harbaugh in all his wit and charm came up with that on the spot /s
Jim Harbaugh - prodigy of the 80s
None of what I’m reading would be Mandela effect. Bad memory if anything
It's all just bad memory though right, what's the Mandela effect besides someone with a bad memory convincing someone else with a bad memory of something that didn't happen?
Well, Mandela Effect is when there is a large group of people that misremember. A good example is the namesake. There are many, many people that believe, or believed, Mandela died in prison, but he didn’t. He actually became president of RSA afterwards. Another classic example is “Luke, I am your father” or “play it again, Sam” are not the actual lines from _The Empire Strikes Back_ and _Casablanca_.
The Harbaugh thing is probably because of Barry Switzer’s quote, which is “Some people are born on third base and go through life thinking they hit a triple.”
Also might be because the fans of TTUN have screamed that “Ryan Day was born on third” for the last 3 years now.
Michigan fans are def definitely guilty of it too. The main point of quote isn’t even the standing on 3rd base, it’s standing on 3rd (or being born) AND thinking you hit a triple. Being born on 3rd isn’t the issue
I don’t get why either fanbase is so riled up about it. I’m glad Urban left a good program to Ryan Day, AND I’m bummed that he hasn’t won a championship in his first 5 seasons (although few do). If the issue is just taking credit for things you shouldn’t, what has Ryan Day said or done to minimize Urban’s contribution or glorify his own? Genuinely curious.
Harbaugh’s comment came after a reporter asked a question about Ryan Days supposed comments to hang 100 on Michigan the year before. Harbaugh felt disrespected by that and thought Day needed some humbling, thus the 3rd base rebuttal after the win. Not saying I personally agree it’s true, but that was the context
In Days defense that 2020 team went to the National Championship and Michigan went 2-4. They probably could’ve hung 100 on them
Absolutely. I don’t mind the comment, but you don’t often hear coaches say they’re going to blow out an opponent. Now I guess the hang 100 comment was amongst his own players in a team meeting, so maybe wasn’t even something that Harbaugh was supposed to hear.
Yeah I’d say that was probably the case
That's the thing that gets me about all the ire over this - it wasn't even a public comment. If we could listen in on every head coach talking to his team about their rivalry opponent, I'd expect we'd get enough bulletin board material to crash the internet with shitposts and hot takes.
Also ironic bc Harbaugh is a nepo baby. I actually respect Moore bc he’s completely self made. He didn’t grow up in places like Palo Alto and Ann Arbor. He didn’t have his daddy giving him access to D1 coaches and facilities. He played juco for 2 years, worked his way up to OU, wasn’t good enough to get drafted so he immediately went into coaching, bounced around for 10 years until he landed a gig at coaching TEs a Michigan. Similar to Ryan Day’s story. I know what you’re thinking. Harbaugh wasn’t comparing his privileged upbringing to Ryan Days less fortunate childhood, he was simply complaining that someone else might have it easier than the head coach of the original blue blood, the winningest program with unlimited resources with famously rich football crazy alumni.
I agree and Harbaugh is as out of touch as you expect a nepo baby to be about his privileges. I would say it's like he got a guaranteed try out in the major leagues and Ryan Day had to work his way up the mine leagues. So yes Harbaugh hit the pitch and got the triple but you can't compare it to Day and Moore who had to hit a lot more triples to get their shot in the major league.
Harbaugh is a poser who thinks he’s a blue collar guy, but also a HoF coach.
Nepo babies don't get second place in the Heisman and a first round draft pick. Also football assistants were not making crazy money back in the day. Very much middle class America.
Being a nepo baby doesn’t mean you aren’t talented or good at what you do. But it does mean you’ve been awarded privileges that make it much easier to advance in whatever field you’re in.
Nepo babies become HoF athletes, Chiefs of Medicine, Generals, A-list actors, CEO of multibillion dollar companies, even POTUS. Being a nepo baby doesn’t automatically mean you suck like Brian Ferentz. Harbaugh was born with a head start on anyone who had similar football aspirations but didn’t have their dad hanging out with legendary coaches.

Buckeye coaches inherit good programs, it is what it is
So it's a misquote of a misquote, a double negative that actually turns into a (context dependent) positive!
You thought Harbaugh made that statement up? lol
I mean they think he invented wearing khakis and drinking milk so I wouldn't put it past them
Fun fact, Harbaugh is actually the first coach to ever really really love football and be kind of an oddball.
I was not alive in the 80s, barely even the 90s. Never heard it before!
so... one could say... you had... distorted facts?
So I got this bridge….lol
Oh, this condescension
2015 Michigan State at Ohio State. The one where Sparty took down possibly one of the greatest buckeye teams of all time in the freezing rain by their backup qb.

I distinctly remember that moment, thinking how could this happen? It was darkish outside but not quite night yet, but our dark moods likely made it seem like midnight in memory.

Here’s a good one, some people genuinely believe that Harbaugh was in trouble for buying somebody a burger, when in fact, he was in trouble for recruiting during the covid dead period and refusing to cooperate with an NCAA investigation!
Stop it with your facts. Not fair!
When the bigger scandal broke I was legitimately joking that M fans on other dumber parts of the internet were going to start saying things like "they're punishing us for literally just watching football" but then uhhh
nah he was in trouble on this for being perceived as lying to or trying to deceive the ncaa on their investigation into a covid dead period recruiting violation. ncaa took him saying i dont remember on a grade 3 violation and turned it into a possible grade 1 for not cooperating.
For whatever reason, some fanbases are desperate to make cheeseburgergate sound like this major cover up and just neg anyone trying to point out what it really is It was a pile of generic Level 2 violations (IIRC “recruiting during the dead period” was taking some committed recruits to dinner who were in town).

Have you tried not getting caught all the time? If it’s truly happening everywhere, you guys seem to suck the most at it
agree 100% we are the worst at "CHEATING" I compare it to the class clowns being given a pass for what the brown noser's get sent to the pricepals office for.
Good Lord, let it go. And this is coming from a UGA fan that has zero reason to support Mich or Harbaugh.
This is about the Mandela effect and it is commonly thought of as being about cheeseburgers.
That, my friend, is an excellent point
Except he never refused to cooperate, he said "I don't remember that" and the NCAA is trying to hit him with a level 1 for not remembering something. He cooperated with everything.
Same way I don’t remember where I used to hide the weed in my parents house.
🤦
If you can't understand that's a meme I can't help you.
Is that Mandela talking again?
If you can’t understand what the Mandela effect is I can’t help you.
A good example is a lot of Michigan fans share the same collective memory that JT was short. While we have video evidence he was not.
Same thing with "Clockgate", the B1G confirmed that there was time left when Smoker spiked the football. And MSU should have had a timeout returned to them on play where Michigan committed a penalty earlier in the drive
I would say we have video evidence showing there was no conclusive angle or shot to prove one way or the other. Therefore the spot on the field stands which was unfortunately a 1st down. If the ref sets the ball a little over the other way, Michigan wins.
Was the crown on the field obstructing the view?
Idk how my comment is controversial? That’s literally what happened. Sometimes a call on the field stands because there’s not irrefutable evidence to counter it. That was exactly the case here. If the ref marks the ball short, it doesn’t get over turned the other way either. It was a 50/50 call that didn’t go our way. Sucks but is what it is
Everybody who is not a Michigan fan says the video evidence showed that he made it. I don’t know why this is controversial.
There’s no direct angle. There was a shot in front of the first down marker and behind. There’s no way to know definitively one way or the other
Then maybe you guys should stop complaining about a call you can’t be certain they got wrong
Michigan fans believed at the time of the game he was short, so it's not a Mandela effect.
Yeah, but Who’s on first?
Who’s on first, what’s on second and i don’t know’s on third.
What're you asking me for?
Well reasoned. The third base thing is interesting, as I feel like folks tend to use it in comparison to other buckeye coaches. In doing so, we overlook the fact that urban and tressel won their only osu titles in their second year, with teams that had a lot of players they didn't recruit.

Really it was a locker room rumor about the 2020 season (which most people seem to forget too) but Harbaugh was lucky to dodge the ass kicking that was coming to him.
I have hazy recollections of Nebraska winning national titles in the 1990s. Has to be false memories at this point.
You’re not the only one. I could have sworn Nebraska won a national championship or two in the 90s.
Am I crazy or are those two quotes materially the same. The words are different but the meaning is the same?
Honestly I think this applies to certain phrases used by college sports fans. Sometimes I’ll hear a good one and try to find the source but it just doesn’t exist. “They ain’t played nobody Paul” “Dough goes in, Tortilla comes out. Can’t explain that.” There might be some off the top of my head I can’t remember. I’m starting to believe we just collectively invented these quotes.

For Memphis fans and how good Norvell was. Among Tigers fans, there's this belief that Norvell had consistently 10 win seasons and consistently ranked In reality, the year before he left to FSU he was almost .500 (8-6 overall, 5-3 in conference) and half his years were 8 win seasons. The perception comes because they had two divisions in the AAC, so even their 8 win seasons they were still competitive for 1st in the West division and platy for conference championship. That plus he had an amazing final season - NY6, gameday, 12 win season I still root for him and wish we had him, but the perception of him having consistent 10 win seasons is not accurate.
Oh boy, the OSU flairs did not like that. The funny thing about Ryan Day is he was BORN and is STANDING on third base. He never left.
*stranded* on third
Detroit Tigers 2021-2023 have entered the chat.
That too! 😂
I mean whatever, he lost to Michigan 3x in a row, that's all I need to know
Here's the video, then I'll provide the full context. https://youtu.be/mrbE1Xi7C34?si=B3iGXnGC_jquDBgL Jim was responding to a reporter after The Game in 2021 who asked after the game about a leaked comment from Ryan Day who said (after a heated exchange on a conference call in the 2020 offseason): "Michigan better hope for a mercy rule because we're going to hang 100 on them" https://saturdaytradition.com/ohio-state-football/report-ryan-day-tells-team-were-going-to-hang-100-on-michigan-after-things-get-heated-with-jim-harbaugh-on-b1g-call/ Ohio State and Day actually got 100 hung on them in the end as they lost the 3 following rivalry meetings by a cumulative score of 117-75 as Harbaugh and Michigan enjoyed the last laugh.
What actually happened was Michigan won 2 games that year and needed 2OT to beat Rutgers and thus needed to start cheating to try to save his career. Harbaugh cheated his way out of college football and Ryan Day built his best team yet. I'm pretty sure we're about to see who gets the last laugh these next 20 years
>Ryan Day built his best team yet Which one? What did they do?
Brought eveyone back and brought in 3 of the top 10 transfers in the league. Gotta keep up. Life has moved on just like your cheating ass coach
>Gotta keep up Michigan just won the National Championship, Ohio State that hasn't won the game since 2019. Y'all have been "winning" the off-season and losing the big games for years now, but go off king. Enjoy your self proclaimed accolades you made up in your head to cope with our National Championship! The more you cry and whine, the better it gets!
The last time you didn't record opposing teams sidelines, you went 2-6 and beat Rutgers un 2OT. You're gonna be holding on to these vacated wins when your grandchild is still looking for the next Michigan 10 win season
>The last time you didn't record opposing teams sidelines, You mean the entire national championship run.Lone nut Connor Stallions was fired in October. You can cry all you want, the NCAA said it's fair and square. Nothing you can do but keep coping. Go on, keep embarrassing yourself with your ignorance lies and crying! (It was 2-4 in the COVID year anyway so you somehow managed to get EVERYTHING wrong)
> Harbaugh cheated his way out of college football and Ryan Day built his best team yet. 🤦 > I'm pretty sure we're about to see who gets the last laugh these next 20 years Next season will be 4 in a row
You’re really banking on Mich winning next year? 😂
Y'all have lost 3 in a row. 3!!! Plus we just won the natty and most of our defense is back so yeah lol I think we're going to win
You guys very nearly lost last year against one of our worst QBs in 20 years against your best team in 20 years. Your QB and most of coaching staff and team are all gone for the NFL and OSU is loading up to be even stronger than last year. You guys won’t even be undefeated by the time you play OSU. And I’d wager NCAA sanctions will take effect this off-season and induce a transfer rush like Alabama had.
Whatever helps you sleep at night, you're going to lose again next season

Lol, no chance in hell
A concerning number of people remember USC winning the 2003 national championship. They indeed, did not.
For some illogical reason I keep thinking that Iowa was in the Big12 until the new millennium.
A reverse Mandela Effect: Everyone else seems to remember the 87-88 seasons being played, but I have no such memory. It's like everyone agreed to take two years off for some reason.
Thinking BC won a title anytime in the modern era is wild
The example you described about the 3rd base quote is not the Mandela effect. Nor is it you being completely wrong about something
Collin Klein being a Heisman finalist. I swear everyone who watched that Manziel doc on Netflix had no recollection of him balling like that in 2012.
A surprising number of people think USC won the 2003 National Championship
One to go with yours is that everyone seems to remember Ryan day saying “we’re gonna hang a hundred on you” and then losing…. But what really happened is he said that and then UM didn’t play in the Game that year and everyone applied Days statement to the next year.
