VIDEO: Urban Meyer Awkwardly Trying to Compliment Michigan on FOX Broadcast is Peak College Football
By Mark Powell
Urban Meyer wasn't made for this, and it's going to take a serious adjustment. No, we're not talking about Meyer's transition to television as a whole, but his complete and obvious dislike for Michigan, his longtime rival while head coach at THE Ohio State University. On the most recent FOX pregame show, Meyer was asked about Michigan's chances in the Big Ten. At first, he gave refreshingly frank answer but later backtracked when his bias became brutally obvious. Essentially, we need more of this.

Meyer is right--Michigan does have an extraordinary set of receivers this season, an exceptional defensive line and one of the best defensive coaches in the country in Don Brown. Still, this doesn't exactly sound like he's all-in on the Wolverines, and who could blame him?
Thankfully, Reggie Bush and Matt Leinart are around to translate for the former OSU coach.
“Urban Meyer, college football analyst” doesn’t interest me much. “Urban Meyer, Michigan troll” does.

Meyer is trying his best to stay impartial, but it's an impossible task for the 55-year-old.
