No, it’s bigger than that. I know lots of hardcore Michigan fans, and to a person they despise Meyer because he owned them when he was at OSU. Close friends like Whittingham as a coach, but they honestly hate that there’s any connection to Meyer at all.
My cardiac diagnosis of this team is more congestive heart failure, which is a condition that happens when your heart can't pump blood well enough to give your body a normal supply. That's our offense, and in several cases our defense.
To any Michigan fan who discovers that Whittingham has the stench of Urban Meyer on him, even after just 2 years, he’s an acolyte. I’m not sure you understand the deep hatred Michigan fans have for Meyer and everything he’s touched.
Went to the White House with the Packers (Favre’s backup) after winning Super Bowl XXXI, but wore his Bears jersey because they didn’t get to go after winning in ‘85 due to the Challenger disaster, an idea his teammates blessed. I found that hilarious as a Packers fan.
