Let’s talk about history today. After all, you can’t know where you’re going unless you know where you’ve already been.
For as long as I can remember, Michigan teams have largely fallen into the category of good, but not great. Think of the teams from 1971-1974, 1985, 1992, 2006, 2016, 2021, and 2022 — every single one of these teams had the potential for greatness but came up short for one reason or another. The last two years alone it felt like Michigan was finding new and inventive ways to lose big games.
In 2021, Michigan got its ass kicked so fast by Georgia in the College Football Playoff that fans barely had time to process the anguish.
