"Just seeing a different color. You know, how I look at it is they got the same color as the f**king Ohio State. So, I just like it like that to be honest."

According to him, the loss was a positive result for college football's reputation in general.Cowherd explained how these storylines help keep the spirit of the game alive."Well, I think what's happening in the sport is something," Cowherd said on the Joel Klatt show (Timestamp-2:30). "My primary complaint has been for years, we don't have enough great games. Too many people gaming the system. They're ducking big games. ...""The system is not as punitive. The storylines will last longer. There will be more fluid and I think we really saw it last year. I think Ohio State losing to Michigan, though Buckeye fans would disagree, was great for the sport, because Ohio State, as a 20=point favorite, lost and still got into the playoffs and won the natty. That's the NFL."Sherrone Moore will be looking to improve on his debut campaign with the team this upcoming season. Can the Wolverines go on to win their first natty in 2025 following Jim Harbaugh's departure?
