The Ultimate Rivalry Statement
Michigan’s latest move is about to become the new standard for shutting down trash talk from Ohio State. When the Buckeyes try to run their mouths, the Wolverines will be ready to plant a flag in their faces – literally. And why not? The outrage over this gesture is exactly what makes it perfect.
A Lesson in Humility
Think pieces from every corner of college football have decried flag planting as poor sportsmanship. But let’s be real, if you don’t want to see a flag on your logo, don’t lose – especially not as a heavy favorite at home. The fact that Ohio State’s coach was desperate for a win over a rival and still couldn’t deliver is all the more embarrassing.
The Buckeyes’ Hypocrisy
Meanwhile, Ohio State fans are notorious for crossing out M’s on campus and in public spaces. Yet, they still managed to lose to an average Michigan team. That defeat will haunt them forever, and the Wolverines will make sure to rub it in their faces.
Embracing the Flag
Michigan should take this opportunity to double down on the flag-planting tradition. Imagine the chaos that would ensue if they started planting flags everywhere, from the Ohio State campus to the streets of Columbus. The Buckeyes would lose their minds, and Michigan would get to remind them of their shortcomings all season long.
Perfect Timing
The timing of this move couldn’t be better, coming on the heels of a thrilling Shammgod play. It’s a one-two punch that will leave Ohio State reeling. And with the Big 10 title game and playoffs on the line, Michigan has the upper hand. The Buckeyes may have expansion to thank for their postseason hopes, but they’ll never live down the shame of being outplayed by their arch-rivals.
