Hey Michigan fans. You know all the bitching you've been doing about the BCS lately? This is why the rest of the country can't stand you guys! Yes, it's a flawed system, but get over yourselves.

The LSJ's Bleeding Green blog basically nails the sentiments of everyone outside of Washtenaw and Oakland Counties... we're all kinda glad to see you guys get hosed:

Ha Ha Ha! Being a Spartan fan, I take a lot of personal satisfaction in the fact that the boys in blue will not get a rematch with Ohio State in the National Championship. Sorry Wolvie, you had your chance and you lost. You don't deserve a shot at the crown unless you win your conference title - flat out.

Let me clarify that I think U-M is a very good team, they would probably beat Fla. and will likely knock off USC in the Rose Bowl. But I stand by my conviction that the Wolverines didn't deserve a to play in the NC and its time to quit crying about it.

Agreed. Leave it to the Wolverines to complain about playing in the Rose Bowl. Play your game against USC, and move on with your lives.

Yes, the BCS stinks and until there is a plus-1 system in place, we are going to have arguments like this just about every year. However, the Gators (who also disgust me to no end) won their confernce title game and played the toughest schedule in the country (exception in beating up on that tough high school team from Western Carolina a couple weeks ago).

The Big Ten confernce can also be held soemwhat accountable for UM missing out on a championship opportunity. By choosing to end the conference season earlier than any other conference in the country and having no designated league championship game, Big Ten schools are missing out on the exposure and momentum that can be gained (or lost) in the polls during the final two weeks.

I think the idea of a Big Ten championship game sounds nice, but the season is already too damn long. Sure, the added exposure helped Florida last week, but I really don't think UM would've benefited from a Big Ten title game, since they probably would've lost to OSU again anyway.

Look, what's done is done. My fellow Spartans and I are content to sit back and watch all the other Big Ten bowl games, and be happy with our lives. Plus, it doesn't hurt that our school is getting a fat check for $2 million, just for being in the same league as all these other schools that get to play in the post-season.

Gee, what can we do with that money? Hmmm. Well, it could be used to pay off about half of what we owe John L. Smith, about a third of our new coach's salary, or we can put it towards our nice, new $19.5 million parking structure. Man, sometimes it pays to lose.
