HOT TAKE WARNING: I'm not sure that I could be more disappointed in Michigan football than i am right now - coaches, players (Oh No!!! Don't criticize the players - they are just kids, giving everything they have!! Fuck that!! These guys need to play better.) Nothing on this team is good enough at this point. Ohio State's bitches - top to bottom. Jim Harbaugh is Urban Myer's bitch. Let's not pretend anything different. There is no argument to the contrary. Don Brown is Greg Schiano's bitch. Shea Patterson - not ready for prime time. Ed Warriner - not good enough. Pep Hamilton - Ryan Day's bitch. Lots of bitches on Michigan's team and coaching staff. Bitches! Michigan- not good enough. Three star mafia - not good enough (trust the coaches!!!!). OSU owns Michigan's bitch asses. So unhappy to come to that realization. Somebody send me a text message next time Michigan beats OSU because NOTHING matters until that happens. Done. Out. You guys enjoy this shit. Michigan remains in the mediocre midrange of college football. No changes on the horizon .
I read one the other day that said basically said “Haskins is a bum. And that Shea outplayed him the entire time he was in there.”
Since we cannot seem to beat our arch rival OSU on any consistent basis over the last 20 years of "modern day football" (4/20 including only 3/10 on our home field), is it time to finally break with "the unbreakable tradition" and shake up the divisions and schedules and have Michigan move to the West?
1) This would add more needed strength and balance to the West Division.
2) Gasp... we scratch playing OSU as the last regular season game of the year.
If Michigan wins the West division we still end up playing perennial East powerhouse OSU in the Big 10 Championship game (likely this happens 8-9 times out of 10). This would also keep us from playing them "back to back", in the last regular season game and Big 10 Championship game.
10 years ago I would have said no way to this idea, but after the last 10 maybe it is worth some consideration?
FWIW, I'm 50 and grew up with Bo's Michigan since I was nine in 1977. Forever Go Blue
Michigan should def be in the West. But the conference didn’t want to separate them and OSU. Nothing really they could have done.

agreed--and like the OP said, if they were in the West, yet kept the tradition of playing OSU the last game of the season, it's very likely they'd be playing each other back-to-back more times than not...and that's really not beneficial for anyone.

that is why they kept them together. Preserved the tradition. Not their faults that the teams the B1G expanded with are garbage
I like that they are in same division. I don't think they should have the possibility of playing twice in one year and I enjoy that OSU kept them from their first appearance in the B1G championship game.
