One of the biggest moments in the rivalry history was osu coming out of the tunnel and tearing down the M club banner, it’s on a loop in both teams’ highlight reel, are people really upset about this? You win the game, you can do what you want. You know damn well osu will do it next year if Michigan can’t defend home turf.
If this pisses you off more than getting your ass beat in your own stadium, idk what to tell you. The only bulletin board material we need is our complete ass kickings in 2018 and 2019.
Seriously, I almost wish Harbaugh went harder. This rivalry needs a good long stretch of both teams being great and competitive against each other. With much more hate.
Stuff like this is why I watch CFB. Gg Michigan…y’all have been inspired the last couple of years. I can’t hate y’all for planting the flag…people are salty if they care.
I don't see any reason to be upset with anything other than the outcome of the game and anything that led to that outcome. The level of class your program wishes to carry itself with following a victory is its own business. If I had it my way, there'd be little class in this rivalry, exceptions for things like injuries and physical harm. I love the petty classlessness of it all.
The difference is that Ohio tore down the banner before even winning the game. Then it ended in a tie. Michigan earned the flag plant. They did not earn the banner
Eh. Humans have varying abilities to focus. One sign of a great coach is that they can help 18-22 year old men focus for 14 hours a day 6 days a week, in an environment where those men are surrounded by very enticing distractions (free booze, drugs, co-eds thinking you’re a hero, McDonald’s bags full of cash). You’ve gotta think bulletin board material makes that task easier.
This is fan speak. The season is a grind for the players, not 3 hours on a couch once a week. We hear it daily that players take motivation from this stuff.
I think if USC loses to Utah next week (which isn’t out of the question, they’ve already lost to them once), and Ohio State makes it into the playoffs, you guys may end up being on the bad end of the stupid bullet board material stories (as if Ohio State needed more reasons to give all against Michigan).
“In the dark” the buckeyes claim as if their fans and players didn’t run their mouths every day for the 365 days leading up to this game only just to smacked again.
I thought Howard & Hutchinson clowning Stroud & the OL at the Heisman ceremony last year would’ve been sufficient motivation, besides losing last year. Although I will say I think Stroud played fine and the OL played dramatically better than last year.
I wouldn’t say Michigan stomped us worse this year. Obviously the score got out of hand in the end but this was a very competitive game for most of the afternoon and OSU had legitimate chances to come back in the 4th.
I pledge to personally donate the full costs of the repairs for the field after that senseless act of placing a blunt flag post at midfield. I hope this makes up for the emotional damage done by my alma mater to the Buckeye nation.
I fully expect this to be bulletin board material for your team next year, and I think that’s great. Feels good to be hated bitterly again and not just a nuisance on the way to the B1G Championship like we’ve been to you guys for a while.
I hate harbaugh, and I hate everything about ttun, but I have to admit, at least he gets the rivalry, this is the level of hatred I expect on both sides, I respect him for it, I just hope we actually repay them for it next year
He's got his swagger back, but thankfully he isn't abrupting at every single play anymore. He would literally smash a clipboard in half while up 35-3 at the halftime, it was a bit ridiculous.
30 years ago people lost their damn minds when Florida State would take a chunk of grass from road wins to bury outside Doak Campbell. But back in the early 90s the sport took it’s fainting spells over any sort of swagger very, very seriously.
IMO this is the prefect level of celebration mixed with a touch of disrespect. Exactly what makes rivalries in sport, you don't get this why by not throwing a bit of shade at each other time to time.
Not an OSU fan and I don't care about the flag planting. The thing I thought was classless/ridiculous was the stupid picture UM ran down the field to take after the first interception
My absolute favorite Buckeye fan take of the year was the day of they game; a guy saying something to the effect of, “They didn’t PLANT anything, it’s turf! He and the other players held it up!”
I grew up in the Woodson years and will forever be afraid of them because of that man. The last decade has been a lot of fun at the end of November but I'm glad to see it balance out again and hopefully shut up some of these young, entitled fans who didn't experience David Boston getting flipped over Woodson's shoulder on their way to yet another rout. It's best when each team is one hundred percent focused and no one knows who will come out of a game where everyone gives everything they have.
Last I remember Schembechler hall (vomits) does have a little museum part. My first year in the band we got to visit the entire facility, including the workout room, field house, etc. because Brady Hoke really liked the band and invited us for a visit and even came and talked with us.
Harbaugh did make a good point later on. These teams already have enough motivation to beat each other. A flag plant isn't going to change much in the motivation department.
I believe Harbaugh is pushing for a large Michigan football history museum on campus. It will be much larger than the current one in Schembechler Hall that has very limited hours.
Tbh don’t even need a “large” one but it’d be nice to have a public one that’s more easily accessible, especially if fans can visit it before a home game. I’d put it near Ferry Field in the IMSB or even as an addition to the Rec Sports center across from Elbel.
But "And there it is, [Winning Team] stands the flag upright with a perfectly weighted patio table umbrella base at center field" just doesn't have quite the same ring to it.
Man, I hate Michigan and USC but it's great to see them back in the National Championship picture again. Now if we can get Texas and Florida back it'll be like the 00's all over again.
Exactly what I want to hear from a football coach. I wish we did that in Autzen when we beat the Ducks. The best part about this sport is the rivalries. Let there be fights, plant flags at mid field, play for obscure trophies and let the mascots brawl on the sidelines.
Harbaugh has no respect for Day, and he's not afraid to show it publicly. Michigan has all of the swagger and positive emotion in the rivalry right now, and we're searching for answers.
I love that they did it. Hell, the next time we win in Autzen, I hope the entire Oregon State team meets at midfield and takes a synchronized shit on the toilet bowl at midfield.
Curse baker mayfield every day for that stupid fucking shit. Glad he’s riding pine where he belongs. Also Harbaugh is a dumb fucking corny asshole who can’t hack it in the NFL
It's amazing how short their memories are (Harbaugh won 2 in a row!!!! who cares we almost universally wanted him fired before that) or how long they can be (remember those victories we had in the late 1800s that give us the series lead even though we're sub-500 the past HUNDRED years) depending on the situation. They're adorable.
For the 2nd straight year you’ve been disrespected and then go out and embarrass OSU, this year in Columbus… you deserve to plant the flag in the Block O.
One of the biggest moments in the rivalry history was osu coming out of the tunnel and tearing down the M club banner, it’s on a loop in both teams’ highlight reel, are people really upset about this?

If you don't want 'em to do it, don't let 'em win. Simple as that.
Seriously, I almost wish Harbaugh went harder. This rivalry needs a good long stretch of both teams being great and competitive against each other. With much more hate.
Stuff like this is why I watch CFB. Gg Michigan…y’all have been inspired the last couple of years. I can’t hate y’all for planting the flag…people are salty if they care.
Here we are talking about that tunnel again.
“Are people upset” yeah sure, but we are mad we lost not about this flag thing.
The fight in the tunnel afterwards will be legendary
Bob Ufer's radio call of that moment is incredible.
I don't see any reason to be upset with anything other than the outcome of the game and anything that led to that outcome. The level of class your program wishes to carry itself with following a victory is its own business. If I had it my way, there'd be little class in this rivalry, exceptions for things like injuries and physical harm. I love the petty classlessness of it all.
It’s disrespectful but doesn’t do permanent harm to the playing field. On top of the sentiment “if you don’t like it then fucking win the game”
The difference is that Ohio tore down the banner before even winning the game. Then it ended in a tie. Michigan earned the flag plant. They did not earn the banner
I think this rivalry is tilted towards UofM for years to come.
I still have burning memories of Ohio State fans practicing their spelling lesson in the Big House. This had only better be the very beginning.
This move is insulting, and petty, and cocky, and is exactly what this rivalry needs. Physically harmless, but absolutely stinging; I'm furious.
100% agree. Don’t get embarrassed (for the 2nd straight year) at home if you don’t want this happening.
"I feel bad for the lawnsman that has to patch up that divot, though," Harbaugh added later, probably
Lawnsman. You know Harbaugh knows how to lay out a grid and tackle it. No blade missed
Isn’t it turf? I thought there was a joke that baker mayfield really tried planting our flag into turn and it just fell right over
Even this would be a backdoor insult at tOSU for not having real grass. Dude playing 4D chess in our minds
Doubtful lmao
Bulletin board material is something us fans like to think makes a difference. These dudes don't need any extra motivation to win.
Extra motivation doesn’t really matter but lack of it does, basically
Eh. Humans have varying abilities to focus. One sign of a great coach is that they can help 18-22 year old men focus for 14 hours a day 6 days a week, in an environment where those men are surrounded by very enticing distractions (free booze, drugs, co-eds thinking you’re a hero, McDonald’s bags full of cash). You’ve gotta think bulletin board material makes that task easier.
Yeah people think world class coaches and athletes are really like “oh man I’ve kind of only been half-assing my games so far, now I’ll ACTUALLY try!”
This is fan speak. The season is a grind for the players, not 3 hours on a couch once a week. We hear it daily that players take motivation from this stuff.
OSU supposedly spent all year "in the dark" practicing and preparing to avenge that loss and Michigan stomped them even worse in the Shoe.
Counter point. Michigan took offence to being it called a fluke and used that as bulletin material /half s
If this flag is what gives Ohio state the motivation to win, Ryan day ain’t worth SHIT
That speech from Hartline was terrifying. Guy sounded like a stone cold sociopath
I think if USC loses to Utah next week (which isn’t out of the question, they’ve already lost to them once), and Ohio State makes it into the playoffs, you guys may end up being on the bad end of the stupid bullet board material stories (as if Ohio State needed more reasons to give all against Michigan).

-"Don't no man call me soft!"
I wouldn’t say Michigan stomped us worse this year. Obviously the score got out of hand in the end but this was a very competitive game for most of the afternoon and OSU had legitimate chances to come back in the 4th.
I pledge to personally donate the full costs of the repairs for the field after that senseless act of placing a blunt flag post at midfield. I hope this makes up for the emotional damage done by my alma mater to the Buckeye nation.
I hear they are still fundraising to fix the damage done by the stake incident at MSU, if you want to get involved there too.
Brady Hoke's account?
I’m upset but truthfully I think the response is great
I fully expect this to be bulletin board material for your team next year, and I think that’s great. Feels good to be hated bitterly again and not just a nuisance on the way to the B1G Championship like we’ve been to you guys for a while.
I hate harbaugh, and I hate everything about ttun, but I have to admit, at least he gets the rivalry, this is the level of hatred I expect on both sides, I respect him for it, I just hope we actually repay them for it next year
If you don’t want the other team to plant a flag in your stadium then don’t lose to them.
Tell that to WSU, we just gate off parts of the field after we lose😎
Harbaugh swagger back confirmed
“What’s your deal?”
He's got his swagger back, but thankfully he isn't abrupting at every single play anymore. He would literally smash a clipboard in half while up 35-3 at the halftime, it was a bit ridiculous.
I would too if I had to deal with dumbass fans who wanted me fired
[удалено]
People being mad at someone planting a flag at midfield at a football stadium is the funniest and saddest behavior.
WSU had cops surrounding their logo so UW couldn’t do it last night. I like WSU, but that was pretty sad.
Ohio State fans think it’s their birth right to win against Michigan and now don’t know how to react after getting bullied 2 years in a row.
What makes me even sadder is the baby Michigan fans saying it's bad behavior.
30 years ago people lost their damn minds when Florida State would take a chunk of grass from road wins to bury outside Doak Campbell. But back in the early 90s the sport took it’s fainting spells over any sort of swagger very, very seriously.
IMO this is the prefect level of celebration mixed with a touch of disrespect. Exactly what makes rivalries in sport, you don't get this why by not throwing a bit of shade at each other time to time.

NC State and Michigan "planting" flags at UNC and OSU are memories I'll take to the grave. I know I keep saying this but god damn what a weekend lol.
Panzies at WSU put up armed security around the center of the field after their loss 😂
Two beautiful games.
Hell yeah! Best Rivalry Weekend ever!
It was beautiful. Ben Finley’s postgame interview is just about the best I’ve ever seen. He’s so tongue in cheek.
Mine started and ended poorly. The middle was alright though.
One week ago, I texted my friend (NC State grad) that I felt sorry for y'all losing three quarterbacks after having such a promising season.
"You think planting the flag was bad, wait until they find the upper decker i left in the locker room toilets"
Lol upper decker. I immediately think of Meredith's son in The Office.
This is great. Winning that game should mean something. Celebrating that win should mean something. It’s a rivalry.
I grew up in the Woodson years and will forever be afraid of them because of that man. The last decade has been a lot of fun at the end of November but I'm glad to see it balance out again and hopefully shut up some of these young, entitled fans who didn't experience David Boston getting flipped over Woodson's shoulder on their way to yet another rout.

Michigan alum and current head football coach more than okay with players planting flag at rivals midfield after win. More at 11.
Had enough harbaugh/Michigan posts yet cfb?
Plant away you blue and yellow bastards, you earned that right.
Lol wait they have a museum?
Yes it holds every pair of khakis he has worn during every win in his Michigan tenure.
Michigan does have a pretty nice natural history museum.
Yes, there is a very small museum in Schembechler Hall called the Towsley Family museum.
Even Colorado has a museum, including a weird plaque all about Chris Fowler
Last I remember Schembechler hall (vomits) does have a little museum part. My first year in the band we got to visit the entire facility, including the workout room, field house, etc. because Brady Hoke really liked the band and invited us for a visit and even came and talked with us.
Throw it in the Gerald Ford Presidential Museum on North Campus and then elect Harbaugh president* so it qualifies as an exhibit.
Yeah with lots of Bo stuff still...
Harbaugh did make a good point later on. These teams already have enough motivation to beat each other. A flag plant isn't going to change much in the motivation department.
You can do whatever you want* when you win a big rivalry game and it will be celebrated
See that’s where MSU messed up. They lost.
I remember when Baker did it and
I miss those days
How we feeling about
who the hell is Uryan
MY COACH. We never doubted youish
I believe Harbaugh is pushing for a large Michigan football history museum on campus. It will be much larger than the current one in Schembechler Hall that has very limited hours.
Tbh don’t even need a “large” one but it’d be nice to have a public one that’s more easily accessible, especially if fans can visit it before a home game. I’d put it near Ferry Field in the IMSB or even as an addition to the Rec Sports center across from Elbel.
Since you guys have such a historic program, that’s earned.
Y’all still got his name on stuff huh? Yeah that tracks. Trashiest team in the nation
When teams plant flags in artificial turf, they should have a tripod or stand for the flag. So it actually stays upright by itself for pictures.
But "And there it is, [Winning Team] stands the flag upright with a perfectly weighted patio table umbrella base at center field" just doesn't have quite the same ring to it.
Or we can call Devin Bush and have him dig a hole with his cleats
Don’t want to assume anything but I think he’s ok with it
Honestly? That would be kinda cool
My thoughts exactly. Iconic/cool moments like these make the rivalry even better and memorable
Man, I hate Michigan and USC but it's great to see them back in the National Championship picture again. Now if we can get Texas and Florida back it'll be like the 00's all over again.
Ah yes I loved the 00’s*
Prefer that to playing you in the Citrus Bowl every other year.
Old school Rose Bowl
A blast from the past would be refreshing honestly
We're a year or two behind but hopefully we'll be there soon enough
So Harbaugh to replace Harrison Ford as Indiana Jones confirmed?
Who cares? If Day can't plant his boot in Harbaugh's ass next year he should be fired.
Who cares. play smarter and better instead of being pissy over something inconsequential.
I’m completely fine with it. Y’all beat our ass and we deserved it. Everything still hurts
BASED AF
That flag drinks milk bro
and none of that candy-ass 2% or skim
Love it
Cry.
I’ll take your flags but not your insults - soft osu coach
I'll be there for the first day it's on display
I love this response.
Exactly what I want to hear from a football coach. I wish we did that in Autzen when we beat the Ducks. The best part about this sport is the rivalries. Let there be fights, plant flags at mid field, play for obscure trophies and let the mascots brawl on the sidelines.
That's a great response.
On campus is the only way to go
Harbaugh has no respect for Day, and he's not afraid to show it publicly. Michigan has all of the swagger and positive emotion in the rivalry right now, and we're searching for answers.
It’s weird that we’re just ok with coaches being this openly disrespectful to each other. This sport is getting trashy as fuck.
I love that they did it. Hell, the next time we win in Autzen, I hope the entire Oregon State team meets at midfield and takes a synchronized shit on the toilet bowl at midfield.
Damn that's HATEFUL 🤣🤣🤣
I WILL bang your wife and her mother in a ffm while drinking whole milk.
Curse baker mayfield every day for that stupid fucking shit. Glad he’s riding pine where he belongs. Also Harbaugh is a dumb fucking corny asshole who can’t hack it in the NFL
Maybe I'm old school and at the age of 46 set in my ways. But, to me this will ALWAYS be pure bush league and extremely disrespectful.
Flair checks out
This booger eating clown is 2-6 in the rivalry.
45-23
45-23
Here ya go
2-5*, but counting is hard
It's amazing how short their memories are (Harbaugh won 2 in a row!!!! who cares we almost universally wanted him fired before that) or how long they can be (remember those victories we had in the late 1800s that give us the series lead even though we're sub-500 the past HUNDRED years) depending on the situation. They're adorable.
[удалено]
Memories are a Spartan's best friend
A Turkish guy incited civil unrest for this moment
I think that's a 'yes'
@Washington State
Flair up 2, if UW, get bent.
You really would think that, yknow, losing the game would be a much bigger deal than anything that happened afterwards.
Lol
Jim “Indiana Jones” Harbaugh
For the 2nd straight year you’ve been disrespected and then go out and embarrass OSU, this year in Columbus… you deserve to plant the flag in the Block O.
Alright I hate Michigan more than OSU but I respect this quote.
Yes, it will probably the last time in many years that Michigan will win at the Horseshoe, so it makes sense they want it in the museum
what did they expect? "no I'm very disappointed in them for doing something baker mayfield did first"
Baker Mayfield didn't do shit first. We were planting flags at Notre Dame back in 2004.
Oh sure, but when Baker does it, our own administration says “ItS BaD SpOrTsMaNsHiP.”
