Can’t believe the dorks from Michigan made it so that I actually want to cheer for Ohio State every Thanksgiving weekend after I spent the last 29 seasons rooting for the maize and blue in that matchup. They were insufferable.

Michigan fans have less to be excited about after Dillingham extension
Michigan fans were much less thrilled with the news of Dillingham agreeing to stay at Arizona State, especially after fans of the Wolverines thought they were in prime position to land Dillingham.
That’s all they gave him after all that?!?! Poor Kenny will never win a thing at ASU except a couple rivalry games.. t.co/OkKJmzbPQU

I get everyone is unbelievably irrational about us about everything but it is objectively stupid to turn down a job here if your goal is success in college football. Dillingham wants to stay loyal, very respectable, but he will not achieve close to half the things he would have
