It's Michigan vs. Everybody, Jay Graham and Aaron Hayden Weigh In
In the world of college football, rivalries often run deep, and the sentiment of "Michigan vs. Everybody" has taken on a new dimension. Former coach Jay Graham and Aaron Hayden recently weighed in on why Michigan, both the team and its players, has drawn criticism and disdain from football fans.
At the heart of their concerns is the perception of how Michigan conducts itself on the field, particularly with regard to player behavior and sportsmanship. According to Graham and Hayden, there is a growing sentiment that Michigan's actions are not in line with the values of sportsmanship and respect for opponents.
Graham, a former coach himself, expressed his reservations about the way Michigan wins and how the players interact with fans and opponents alike. He stated, "I don't like the way they win, the way they are waving at fans, I don't like the rudeness of it all, it's against sportsmanship, and I don't like it." Graham's sentiment echoes the belief that winning should be accompanied by a sense of humility and respect for the game and its participants.
"You should lose your job, and it's an embarrassment to college football the way this Michigan squad is acting," Graham asserted. He emphasized the role of college football programs in developing young men and stressed the importance of instilling values of respect and sportsmanship.
