there is with fans but not so much with media

Posted on September 25, 2026 at 01:27:08 PM by Adamantiumblue

living in Chicago, I know many Iowa, Wisconsin, Purdue and Illini fans. They can't stand M or OSU and all that have ever been to Columbus easily vote it as the worst experience. The media is just riding this anti-Michigan narrative because Wentzel got 3 million clicks off his original signgate article in October '23.

Back to the board

Maybe a bit of a stretch, but is the widespread dislike of Michigan in the Harbaugh+ era possibly… - By Craig September 25, 2026 at 11:14:26 AM
- Stalions maximalists and MAGA are 100% overlap fwiw. Every anti-Michigan conspiracy theorist has a right wing lunatic Twitter page * - By Nikos September 25, 2026 at 12:31:00 PM
  - the crazy tweet about ____ that goes back to an OSU avatar account is nearly undefeated. It's uncanny* - By Daytripper September 25, 2026 at 12:34:19 PM
- Certainly there is a social media and maga-type-fan influence on all of it. lol at Iowa being wholesome. tampering, gambling investigation, racial discrimination lawsuit all very recent, plus the 2011 rhabdomyolysis incident* - By mtb September 25, 2026 at 11:45:09 AM
  - oh I see this was covered below and thus your comment likely sarcastic* - By mtb September 25, 2026 at 12:18:19 PM
- hmm, in my limited experience... - By Dunder September 25, 2026 at 11:34:26 AM
- Possibly. I think Michigan is among a handful of teams / universities (Bama, ND, OSU, PSU to an extent) that people love to hate - By BigLake September 25, 2026 at 11:18:27 AM
  - Right. Just based on success alone, there should be a ton of hate amongst the rest of the Big Ten for Ohio State. - By dnvrblue September 25, 2026 at 12:27:56 PM

- Sports has the same problem has politics and everything else. Tribalism, the media isn't serious anymore, everyone thinks their opinion matters and counts as facts.* - By gbmcq September 25, 2026 at 11:17:42 AM
  - The Western Michigan business is a great example of people believing what they want in spite of facts with click-whore media whipping up the resentment instead of reporting the facts. - By hurryup September 25, 2026 at 11:25:29 AM
