Well any school pass Michigan football in all time wins in our lifetime?

Well? Will Michigan win another B1G championship in my lifetime?
The real question is when is Harbaugh going to make it to Indy??
I’m still young and yes they will. Just like Ohio StAte has basically made Michigan irrelevant during my lifetime.
Yes, and I hope Franklin is there cheering the other school on when it happens.
Another enigma: Will Michigan have a fan or graduate post on this board who is not a douchebag during our lifetimes.
Now that Dick Honig is retired I'd say there is a much better chance now of passing Michigan in win totals than there was when he was able to control wins/loses with his whistle.
How long are you planning on living?
The 65 wins before the year 1900 really help pad their record.

It has already happened. Approximately 67 of those wins were illegitimate due to the Big 10 referines. However, I believe Michigan still has more legitimate wins than Pitt.
Until Wolve and JimJim chime in, this thread is meaningless.
I'd like to see the Venn diagram on the Michigan grad/non douchebag sets.
If they hire back Dick Rod, it could happen in my 84 year old mom's lifetime.
Feels good knowing Michigan was a trendsetter back in the day. You can thank Michigan for football
Of all the records in sports, the ones that I care least about are all time wins. Who has the most wins in MLB? Most people would say the Yankees. They would be wrong. It's the Giants. The Yankees are actually 8th behind the Cubs, Dodgers, Cards, Braves, Reds, and.... Pirates. You can look it up, but who cares? What I care about is how many wins and championships my favorite team has won since I've been a fan. If I were a Michigan fan I would lament only 1 National Championship in my 60+ years. Pretty sad.
How many wins in the modern era? I believe Michigan is 3rd. In the conference.
Measure it by wins in your lifetime. Penn State's on top over that span for me.

Good point, Jovialgent. But since national titles are so subjective in Division 1 football, I don't scoff at their pitiful single 1/2 title.
What should really frost the arrogant wolverines is that since World war II, the almighty maize and blue have had only ONE -- 1 -- one -- undefeated, untied football season. Heck, Joe Paterno himself had TWICE that many in his first 4 years as a head coach!
Think about it ... with alums like Honig and scammers like Witvoet and Lemonier helping them during so many seasons ... Michigan managed all of a single, solitary, all-by-its-lonesome self undefeated & untied season in something like 70 years.
Yet the fan base is still loaded with smug, arrogant ....
Wrong OP. Winning percentage of .730.
To answer your question, it is possible but unlikely.

The pattern, which is nothing more than where extra leather and padding were sewn, is the creation of the A. G. Spalding Sporting Goods Co. Princeton head coach Crisler was among the first to put paint on what was a stock item from Spalding that was not created for any particular team.
Heck, if Harbaugh stays at UMich long enough, even Kansas football will pass them!
In the last ten years Ohio State has about 27 or so more wins than Michigan. Do the math: even if that pace drops slightly to an average of 2.5 or 2 or even 1.8 more wins per year, OSU will pass Michigan in the lifetimes of many on this board.
As for recruiting from 2016 through 2019,, Harbaugh has done pretty well. Ohio State has done better. PSU has done pretty well, too. Michigan is by no means accelerating away from its competition.

Their goal has never been to win the MNC. It’s always about winning Big 10 and going to rose bowl.
Interesting because they have been very successful in not winning what they don’t care about winning. And not very adept at winning the BIG in this century. They are excellent at repeatedly losing the Rose Bowl whenever they make an appearance.
I mentioned it here once so forgive me for rerunning it. A client’s son was going to UM in the late 80s. I met him not long after our MNC. We talked football and he said their goal annually is to get to the Tose Bowl. I looked st him stunned and said our goal is to win the MNC. Big philosophical difference.
Any Michigan troll should always be met with the same set of gifs. Operant conditioning and negative reinforcement.
records based mostly on a team existing are not very interesting

In a way, that's true. The combined win total of the University of Pittsburgh and Pittsburg State University far surpasses anyone.
(In fact, Pittsburg State is only 13 wins behind ASWP so we may see them surpass "The Other Pitt" in our lifetimes)
