Michigan Football: Fans get taste of own medicine with spring game cancelled

Michigan football fans are the first to talk about spring game attendance, but what’s the offseason talk now that the scrimmage is cancelled?

When it comes to college football, one team sits atop all in terms of all-time wins. That team is Michigan. Wolverine fans won’t be afraid to tell you that their favorite team has the most wins of any in the history of college football despite the lack of recent success.

Michigan hasn’t won the Big Ten title since 2004 — that’s 14 years ago for those of you counting at home. The Wolverines haven’t won the national title since 1998 and have been shuffling through coaches over the past decade — Rich Rodriguez, Brady Hoke and now Jim Harbaugh.

With Harbaugh, however, there seems to be a renewed sense of hope. Michigan football is on the way back to the top of the Big Ten because it finally has a competent coach at the helm, despite not finishing higher than third place in the East division in his first three years.

Football is fun again in Ann Arbor and the fans act as if the Wolverines have been on top this entire time.

In fact, following in-state rival Michigan State’s spring game, Michigan fans were quick to point to the low turnout for the Spartans despite 30-degree weather with lows in the teens in East Lansing with no sun in the forecast.

Let’s take a look at one tweet that sums it all up:

Well, Mr. Huge understands that frigid weather and spring break are valid excuses, yet uses a picture from about an hour before the game’s actual kickoff — about 15,000 Spartan fans were in attendance. Will he say the same about Michigan’s spring game with rain and 40-degree weather forecasted?

Probably not as Michigan has cancelled its spring game due to weather concerns.

Let’s get this straight. Michigan fans roasted Michigan State for only having 15,000 in attendance but still going through with its spring game in winter-like conditions, but the second it starts raining, their program shuts it down and locks up the doors until fall?

How does that medicine taste?

It must be the offseason because Michigan fans are already dubbing Shea Patterson the Heisman front-runner and the Wolverines as College Football Playoff favorites despite not having seen their team play live. Hail to the victors, am I right?
