I don't want to make this about me, but rather a life lesson for us all.
I was banned from MGOBLOG after Michigan's dramatic 3 OT comeback victory over Rutgers in 2020. I was somewhat drunk and compared McNamara to Brady. I called a poster who diminished our victory an ASSHOLE.
I feel somewhat vindicated. McNamara has indeed proven to be an exceptional QB and a remarkable leader. The team has fought back to being ranked #2 in the country after beating OSU convincingly. We didn't get to this point by giving up on the team in 2020.
The larger life lesson is that friends should not give up on friends when they are down and out. Being a sports fan is somewhat analogous to being a friend. We support the team, and the team tries its best to reward the fans. When the team is having a bad year, it's more important than ever to be constructive and supportive. Small victories, such as the Rutgers 2020 game, should be acknowledged in the same way that large victories are acknowledged.
Anyway, I'm the biggest fair weather fan in the world and am being somewhat hypocritical here.
Go Blue, beat Iowa...
