Desmond Howard has no class! There's a time and a place for that kind of trash talk. A radio show, a talk show... not a Heisman Ceremony

He was obviously being playful. Surely we aren't so overly sensitive that a guy cant even make a quip like that these days?

That was cringe worthy to watch and not to mention incredibly uncomfortable for everyone.

There’s a time and place for trash talk among fanbase. This absolutely is not it. No way, no how. Can’t understand why you would think it’s appropriate or earned.

Cringeworthy? Maybe for OSU fans still butthurt over the beating they took.

I know these days people are very easily offended but this was way down on the meter for offensiveness.

LOL beating they took?.. UM doing a lot of talking for a team who’s trophy case is identical to Vanderbilts in the last 15 years.

He has since apologized for his clown comment because he is getting hammered by both um and OSU fans.

Some apology

coolstanley

Not surprising that a meechigan fan clicked your lol option. Even though he knows his team stinks and will be getting drilled by Georgia.

He needs to apologize to CJ for cheapening his moment of honor, and he needs looking straight in the eyes of the full Oline and apologize for disrespecting them in front of a national audience. Desmond Coward.

Why did Desmond say that, why, why, why.....it's not fair.

I think you are being a bit too sensitive here. amongst guys/athletes, this sort of stuff is common place and expected. If you don't want to get ribbed about a bad loss, then don't lose badly.

as far as his moment of honor, give me a break. the guy finished 4th. he was nothing more than the 3rd loser in the heisman race, and this will all be forgotten by the first week of January.

Not sure if any of you saw it but Ohio State band put on an epic trashing of Michigan a a couple weeks before their game. They did this huge performance putting the Michigan “M” in a trash barrel lol. It was pretty good actually.

Huge rivalry this is part of it

I agree. If you don't want to hear trash talk don't lose the damn game.

Um his stats was from 11 games. Get a freakin clue. And btw, you're ripping a guy who finished fourth? He had the best QB rating in the country and HE'S ONLY A FRESHMAN!!!!!!!!

AND PS, QUIT SAYING HANK AARON TAKING A AMPHETAMINE IS THE SAME THING AS BONDS TAKING STEROIDS. GEEEEZ.

wow. I guess I will make myself comfortable here. bring in a big screen, maybe some art. Take a seat in my easy chair and enjoy the little spot I have made my own in your head.

the amphetamine thing must really be bothering you. keep in mind, it is not my fault one of your heroes used PED. But, if you followed the bonds thread, you will understand that its ok, he didn't cheat, there was no rule against what he did. nor what mays, schmidt, Frank thomas, Camaniti, or any of the other players through the early 2000s.

Of course I did. It was funny that you said he apologized.

Here is what I do know.

When OSU is winning you are all chirpy.
When OSU loses you are full of excuses
When OSU loses you go looking for things to whine about and deflect. Whining about things that haven't happened or reporting fake news and making mountains out of mole hills.

All I know is Michigan is in the dance, is Big Ten Champs, manhandled OSU and decimated Iowa in the Championship game. My stinky team had zero problems with OSU so Im not sure what that makes them. Sometimes I think you are like 11 years old. Such a baby. Such a poor loser. You take this stuff way too seriously.

If we do get drilled by Georgia maybe you can console me as you know what that feels like. That Clemson debacle wasn't that long ago. Anyways the best team in the Big Ten losing to a SEC team in the semis or championship isn't all that unprecedented.

I don't think it was so much what was said, it was the stage it was said on. it just seemed a little over the top. strangely, it made me think of the Minnesota/Pittsburgh game last Thursday. Minnesota is up 29-0 in the 3rd quarter and Witherspoon picks-off Cousins, only to run 30 yards to the endzone with his Teammates to celebrate.

there's a time and place that's right for everything, that wasn't either.

And we could care less. It's all part of the rivalry. Pointing out the Howard ribbing of OSU is super snowflakey.

Wow just wow. Where have we heard this before? We know the playbook this is from. What a joke and so transparent.

Brick is a devout OSU fan. Him speaking the truth makes him well rounded and his own man. He is even keeled. You could learn a lot from him. I certainly have over the years

Brick has been watching Ohio State since the ‘50’s. He has a right to say as he pleases 🍻

I understand you "can't win em all'" but the team up North was fired up and ready to go. OSU looked ho-hum, another day at the office. Perhaps because of how they handled MSU they were not worried. However in this rivalry YOU BETTER BE READY. The 1970 Buckeyes had to cross a carpet that had the score of the 1969 game every time they went to practice. Coach Day better get their attention or he could be the first OSU coach to lose 2 in a row since John Cooper. BTW I was at the fiasco against Clemson at the Fiesta Bowl. A gentleman in full Michigan garb was sitting with us in the OSU section. He said he was in town and wanted to come support the Big 10 team. I thought that was classy.

larryallen73

I have no dog in this fight but this is seriously a big ado about nothing. He didn't really apologize as much as laugh at anybody that thinks this is something. It's about as sincere as my 17 year old daughter apologizing after she spends too much money at the mall!

I would be more concerned with the Rose Bowl, then some random PLAYFUL comments, because I don't think that game is a gimme for ohio.

coinkat

Unfortunately sportsmanship seems to be a thing of the past. Being a die hard Big Ten supporter and given the current environment, I am no longer embarrassed to admit that I enjoyed the wit and sportsmanship of USC Coach John McKay.

As for Brick, I suppose the carpet with the 1968 score was unrolled and in plain view in Ann Arbor.

Brick

One year the team up North won they left the final score lit up on the scoreboard all winter long.

coolstanley

Justcommoman, they got manhandled yes, but look at some of the recent spankings the Buckeyes gave to the skunk weasels. You want to talk about manhandled. UM's first conference title in 17 years.

2015 42-13 OSU (29 POINT MARGIN)
2018 62 -39 OSU(23 POINT MARGIN)
2019 56-27 OSU (29 POINT MARGIN)

Talk about outright ass whippings

Tabe

I'm a Michigan guy through and through and I think this was low class. Wrong place, wrong time.

Poor Howard still getting drilled lol.
