1997 Champs? BTN Says Michigan

[Count 'Bility]

Lets settle this for good guys.

MASCOT VS MASCOT!

All right Herbie, go out there and kick the snot out of........oh, guess we win this battle too.

Bo would screw it up and put Lil Red in there and the vulvuarine would pull out a bobby pin and it's game over.

The mentioned strength of schedule as usual was based on teams previous years records. When Lloyd Carr saw it for the first time before season started he compared it to climbing mount Everest. And he climbed it.

So what does that have to do with the current year's strength of schedule? Last year's national champion is this year's national champion because they were national champions the previous year?

I don't know what is funnier, seeing Michigan and Nebraska fans get bent out of shape about this or seeing their respective fan bases wishing it was still 1997..the last time both schools had great teams.

Michigan Fan probably takes comfort in knowing that, no matter what, they have scoreboard on you for that year.
And Ohio Fan can take comfort in the fact that they didn't have to face Nebraska that year, because the beating would have been worse than what they got from TSUN.

Michigan fans wish OSU still had Cooper and Ohio State fans can take comfort knowing Cooper hasn't been our coach for a long time.

The fact people still argue over a split national champion after all these years is funny to me because you really don't know who would win the game unless they played it out on the field. Example: OSU vs Miami in the BCS championship game. If you asked everyone before that game, 99 out of 100 would have said Miami would kill OSU.

That game was also between the two supposedly best teams. 1997 would have been too, but Michigan wanted to play in the Rose Bowl. Nebraska was willing, Michigan wasn't. That is probably why 1997 seems to get brought up more than any other split MNC.
