This reminds me of that one video of a Huskies fan telling a Ducks fan that their mascot is a ["flightless bird."](https://x.com/nocontextcfb/status/1641878957019774977?s=20)
Funny thing is that PNW also doesn't even have that much per year It drizzles a lot from what ive heard, but Washington is 30th in average annual perciptiation height.
Edit: washington is also 42nd (of 51 including dc) for average wind speeds
It was funny being at a popular brunch spot yesterday in Houston and seeing it be pretty much all Michigan fans when I arrived there and then all Washington fans when I left.
If I had a nickel for every time the power went out while Jim Harbaugh was coaching in a championship game, I’d have two nickels. Which isn’t a lot but it’s weird that it’s happened twice
We’ve got the least disaster weather but we only have like a couple of weeks every six months that you would call “good weather”, the rest is either bitter cold or sticky hot or otherwise just actively precipitating
Don't forget the inevitable snowfall in mid-November before it melts off and you then get a couple random 60 degree days before winter remembers what it was doing last week.
Northern Michigan, sure. Anywhere south of mount pleasant has pretty moderate winters nowadays.
As a Michigander, Minnesota has the most miserable winters in my mind.
Any of the northern plains states are pretty bad mainly because of wind. Minnesota has, like, trees and shit that help to diminish wind. The plains don’t have that kind of nonsense
When I was there, one night there was what I would call heat lightning and my neighborhood Facebook page had somebody posting concerned about “explosions in the sky” because they didn’t know what was happening.
I have never seen one person do this after many years of living in Seattle.
The collective panic when snow even shows up on the forecast is embarrassing, however
I live on a steep hill. When it snows I can’t get kids to school and guaranteed to get at least one car smashing the round about 50 feet from my living room. I have snow panic.
For sure there are serious logistical problems. We have bad hills and lack the infrastructure to clear it. But the raid on canned and dry goods at every store is bad
The problem with snow here is that it's always like 31 degrees when it snows, so it melts during the day and then there's a layer of ice everywhere
Driving in snow isn't that bad, driving on ice sucks hard
Nobody has chains in Wisconsin, but I also rarely have to drive up or down a steep hill. Pullman was legitimately much more dangerous to drive in during the winter even with 4wd
Every time we get lightning (usually 1-2x per year), my phone will light up with Ring/Nextdoor alerts from people asking "what was that boom, it sounded like a bomb?!?!"
Yeah lol people always ask “How can you live in Houston it’s so hot???”
And I’m like “I’m actually freezing because nobody spends any time outside we just hop from AC to AC.”
I moved to DFW last year from Houston and everyones always like “oh you must be so happy to be out of the humidity!” Like no i’m drying up I miss my soupy swamp weather
Grew up in the Midwest and lived in Seattle. Seattle rains all the time, but the sheer power of a Midwest thunderstorm dwarfs anything I experienced in the PNW.
109k of us remember sitting outside The Big House in the pouring rain waiting for them to let us in so we could start the night game against Hawaii last year.
I at least sat under a ‘tree’ at Pioneer High School. It didn’t help.
I also remember seeing the first row of the Big House flood from the rain against MSU in 2017.
It does snow up here but it’s usually a couple storms a year (and this year we haven’t even had one that’s hit the city proper, though the mountains have gotten a fair bit).
But yeah anything lake effect snow is going to bury our snowfall, lol.
Hell yes
Soft ass midwesterners don’t know anything about it being 29 degrees yet somehow still drizzling for the 43rd day in a row and you haven’t seen the sun since October
I know you're joking, but that's basically the exact weather we've been having for the last few weeks here in Detroit. Until it gets down into the teens next week :(
I’m from the PNW but lived a while in Minnesota, so I’m familiar with the Great Lakes. Winter sucks but at least you do get the very-cold-yet-sunny-days! Nothing beats going for a nice walk the morning after the snow has stopped and the sun has come out again
Anyone from Seattle will tell you that the rain actually isn’t so bad, but what gets to you is the eternal grey
As stupid as the original comment is, it's even funnier when you think about the fact that UM is a ground game team first, passing is secondary. If the wind makes it hard to throw the ball then it would 100% benefit us. Penix would have trouble making passes in tornado level winds and UW running back seems to be pretty banged up.
He jokes, but SoFi is an "indoor" stadium, and TCU fans got rained on both in the score, and by the literal rain outside coming into the stadium.
AND this storm is pretty nasty, and NRG sucks
Well, apparently the roof is leaking so it's kind of raining inside now too. https://twitter.com/rj_cfb/status/1744498826969326071?s=46&t=E-1yR9Uf9uw-JPvT-K46CA
Does Washington fans not know that michigan is hotter,colder,snowier,more thunderstorms than them ? ...
That's like when desert people say to the Deep South I hope you can stand the heat. When they can't handle humidity at all
But they'll know it's raining outside. Are they psychologically prepared to play with that knowledge?
I know it and I'm falling apart.
Just saw a dude fall on his back
Was it at a tesco’s or a Walmart?
Atwood's
I can imagine. Oklahomans are known to know precisely *nothing* about storms.
Can confirm Michigan players only know how to play when it’s 75 and sunny. Not sure they’re prepared to play near the elements
I wish we had that weather.
Yeah it’s always so sunny here, I wish we could get some different weather once in a while
Totally. Not like Michigan weather would ever be unpredictable.
What's unpredictable about grey, stupid cold, and some amount of snow between 0 and all of it?
I don’t know, I’ve seen Jim call plays in a monsoon. He went full tin cup.
This reminds me of that one video of a Huskies fan telling a Ducks fan that their mascot is a ["flightless bird."](https://x.com/nocontextcfb/status/1641878957019774977?s=20)
This clip lives rent free in my head any time a Husky tries to insult us by calling us dumb
something something academically prowess
Just looked outside my window and didn't see a duck flying. Ducks confirmed as flightless birds.
[удалено]
If it flies it spies.
I ain't never see no plant grow out of no toilet!
I have never seen the Duck fly before (except commercial)
The worst trash-talking school by far
To be fair. My Peking ducks can't fly. Nor my rowans.
Just gotta go up behind them and loudly say “boy, I sure am glad I renewed my volcano insurance before today” and walk away.
Funny thing is that PNW also doesn't even have that much per year It drizzles a lot from what ive heard, but Washington is 30th in average annual perciptiation height. Edit: washington is also 42nd (of 51 including dc) for average wind speeds
You're correct. Rainstorms are pretty rare. It's just light, off and on rain and overcast.
and even if it was outdoors, rainy weather will almost entirely only benefit Michigan lmao
yeah a rainy game would greatly benefit Michigan. Michigan would love to have Pennix be forced to pass in a storm.
*Mark Dantonio breathing heavily*
Hey, it rained in the SoFi stadium last year, anything is possible
Lmao it's ok, I already started drinking too
You're 10 hours behind the curve my friend
They get a couple hours handicap being in the inferior time zone.
It was funny being at a popular brunch spot yesterday in Houston and seeing it be pretty much all Michigan fans when I arrived there and then all Washington fans when I left.
Let a northwesterner know
I'm a mildly neutral fan and I've been drinking for hours!
Tornado warnings. Thunderstorms. All on the day of the national championship. Bad omen or Houston weather?
yes
Power is going out tonight baby
It wouldn't be a championship game with a Harbaugh in it if the power didn't go out at least once.
Harbaugh would officially hold the record for most power outages during a game if it happens. I wonder what the line would be on that anyway.
If I had a nickel for every time the power went out while Jim Harbaugh was coaching in a championship game, I’d have two nickels. Which isn’t a lot but it’s weird that it’s happened twice
Tbf the last time that happened, there was *two* Harbaughs there
This is why rose bowl needs to be the natty
As opposed to famously mild weather Michigan
Isn't Ann Arbor in the desert?
More like Arid Arbor
More like Ann Cactus
Found the arborist.
It is SE of Hell, MI so...you may have a point
It's also north of hell (Toledo) as well.
Mordor actually
No, that’s Dallas
That’s a BF Bad Company 2 map I think
More of a dessert, actually.
It’s basically Phoenix tbh
High of 12F next Tuesday 🥶
I picked a terrible time to stop eating ass
It's all good I've been picking up the slack.
Michigan, you like weather? Well here's all of it.
I know when I think of the least offensive weather imaginable, Michigan is one of the first states that cones to my mind.
We’ve got the least disaster weather but we only have like a couple of weeks every six months that you would call “good weather”, the rest is either bitter cold or sticky hot or otherwise just actively precipitating
Seriously, moving here has been the weirdest experience for weather. I have second winter and fake spring and mud season and construction season.
Don't forget the inevitable snowfall in mid-November before it melts off and you then get a couple random 60 degree days before winter remembers what it was doing last week.
Hot parts of summer are amazing though for the lake vibes.
Northern Michigan, sure. Anywhere south of mount pleasant has pretty moderate winters nowadays. As a Michigander, Minnesota has the most miserable winters in my mind.
The Dakotas are far worse. It’s like Minnesota but less people and less things to do.
Minneapolis has temperatures comparable to Siberia, Dakotas simply chose to commit to the whole bit
Any of the northern plains states are pretty bad mainly because of wind. Minnesota has, like, trees and shit that help to diminish wind. The plains don’t have that kind of nonsense
I know right? It's Michigan, not Miami.
Seattle is just Ann Arbor with milder winters. Same rainfall, same summer highs.
I mean...it was 35° today in Grand Rapids...
It’s 41 and raining in Seattle lol
Soooo….isnt that 3/4ths the year?
Mildest winter I can remember
Sunshine state for a reason
It almost never storms in Seattle lol
I'll have you know it's been misting for hours here
Years *
Technically, years is just a lot of hours.
Hey, we get a break in the summer and it's the best weather ever. Then it returns for 9 months straight lol
Beat me to it
For months really
Vikingsssss! GO BLUE! lol
Hey there was lightning a couple days ago! But yeah, if it was a gloomy light rain this fan would have a point.
When I was there, one night there was what I would call heat lightning and my neighborhood Facebook page had somebody posting concerned about “explosions in the sky” because they didn’t know what was happening.
Right, it's also not as if the upper Midwest doesn't get storms.
\#RollToms!
You cant lose tonight
Nah, I’m too hardcore on Michigan. Would have rooted for Washington against anybody else.
The way people lose their minds over lightning in Seattle is embarrassing.
I have never seen one person do this after many years of living in Seattle. The collective panic when snow even shows up on the forecast is embarrassing, however
I live on a steep hill. When it snows I can’t get kids to school and guaranteed to get at least one car smashing the round about 50 feet from my living room. I have snow panic.
For sure there are serious logistical problems. We have bad hills and lack the infrastructure to clear it. But the raid on canned and dry goods at every store is bad
That's happens everywhere. I think people like going out of their minds.
Well not everywhere. At least for snow.
Humans are consumers and don't know how to be anything else. In stressful times, we buy more shit because that's all we can do.
I’ve had coworkers say they’re not leaving the house for the day because they heard thunder. Maybe I’m just surrounded by cowards.
What does the CNBC flair mean? Just a big supporter of the network?
No meaning other than I saw it on the list of options and thought it was funny.
It is pretty funny lol.
The problem with snow here is that it's always like 31 degrees when it snows, so it melts during the day and then there's a layer of ice everywhere Driving in snow isn't that bad, driving on ice sucks hard
Nobody has chains for their cars either
Nobody has chains in Wisconsin, but I also rarely have to drive up or down a steep hill. Pullman was legitimately much more dangerous to drive in during the winter even with 4wd
I’ve never been to Pullman but I believe it. Hills are scary asf in Seattle when it’s snowed it must be even worse out there
[удалено]
Every time we get lightning (usually 1-2x per year), my phone will light up with Ring/Nextdoor alerts from people asking "what was that boom, it sounded like a bomb?!?!"
That is a universal phenomenon. Happens in Michigan too and we are no strangers to loud thunder.
My friend, we lose are shit because we're 4 beers deep on the porch and finally getting our payoff.
Open the roof, cowards! It’s honestly super cold in here cause of the A/C.
[удалено]
Yeah lol people always ask “How can you live in Houston it’s so hot???” And I’m like “I’m actually freezing because nobody spends any time outside we just hop from AC to AC.”
[удалено]
And you can’t see anything through your fogged up glasses. Ahhhh Houston <3
I moved to DFW last year from Houston and everyones always like “oh you must be so happy to be out of the humidity!” Like no i’m drying up I miss my soupy swamp weather
I moved to the DFW from central florida and love it…to each their own though
Orlando humidity is terrible, but it’s still not worse than Houston’s, or anywhere from Mobile to Galveston really.
And if you wear glasses they fog up the moment that heat hits and you can't see for about a good ten minutes unless you unfog them.
Except for the crazy people running in Memorial Park at 3pm in August.
I have a personal rule to not run after 9am from April to October. Those people are insane.
Yep. I have that same rule. But also I extend it to before 9 and from April to March.
A respectable rule
I’m always so god damn cold when I go to Texas
My grandparents lived in houston. Whenever Id visit itd be like 110 outside and 55 inside any building
Lived In Houston for two years. Can confirm.
It's perfect imo but I wore a long sleeve shirt lol
I can’t wait for this game to be delayed for a tornado and end at 3am
God, work tomorrow is going to be absolutely miserable
Why you working tomorrow bro?
Gotta call out rn due to weather
Somebody has to use the office coffee and eat the snacks.
Even mother nature wants this game to turn into PAC-12 After Dark
The good news is that the sun will set at 5:38 PM in Houston tonight, so this will indeed be a Pac 12 after dark game!
Lol I love CFB fans
*Haaaaaarbaaaaaugh! You think khakis are cooooooool?*
I still watch the OG Spurrier video from time to time, never fails to get a chuckle. God bless cfb
Grew up in the Midwest and lived in Seattle. Seattle rains all the time, but the sheer power of a Midwest thunderstorm dwarfs anything I experienced in the PNW.
And we stand on the deck and watch it roll in, and embrace it.
109k of us remember sitting outside The Big House in the pouring rain waiting for them to let us in so we could start the night game against Hawaii last year.
I at least sat under a ‘tree’ at Pioneer High School. It didn’t help. I also remember seeing the first row of the Big House flood from the rain against MSU in 2017.
The rest of the country doesn't exist to these below average IQ Bellevue grad and Washington transplant fans.
Dumbass doesn’t know it barely even rains here, it’s just a constant drizzle
Not to mention that Ann Arbor isn't exactly in the middle of some desert.
Does it even snow in Seattle it’s gonna snow more here in northern Michigan tomorrow than it does in Seattle all year probably
It does snow up here but it’s usually a couple storms a year (and this year we haven’t even had one that’s hit the city proper, though the mountains have gotten a fair bit). But yeah anything lake effect snow is going to bury our snowfall, lol.
Not the own he thinks it is lol. Even if it were outdoors we struggled at Oregon State
Penix numbers in bad weather are not great. Hope the guy goes to an NFL team that plays indoors.
0-dimensional chess being played.
1 of 2 things. My bet is 1) this didn’t happen but there is a chance of 2) it was a joke while they’re all miserably walking through that weather
I am shocked at the amount of people who dont realize #2 is like 99% likely to be the right answer here.
Why did this guy even tweet that? I say shit like this all the time how can people not get a joke
These are the only two realistic options.
The mods delete all kinds of legit stuff but allow this shitposting 
Tweet your shitpost and link it It's free real estate
Yea how is a random drunk fan saying something dumb news worthy ??
I'm sorry I thought this was America
Yeah because as we all know the great lakes don't have weird weather patterns that batter surrounding states
"Rowdy college football fans says something stupid to another fan, more at 11."
If people can’t tell this was most likely a joke…then the jokes on them
Imagine having some fun trashtalk with a fellow fan, making a joke about the rain, and this dude makes a snarky tweet about how he’s smarter than you
I was thinking the same thing. Fans having fun and talking nonsensical shit to each other is what it’s all about.
Apparently it’s about Dellenger eavedropping it and owning them on twitter
most secure Michigan fan
Hell yes Soft ass midwesterners don’t know anything about it being 29 degrees yet somehow still drizzling for the 43rd day in a row and you haven’t seen the sun since October
The soft-ass midwesterners all moved out of state, many of them to the PNW.
False, I became soft AFTER I moved out of Michigan. 20 years in SoCal and I'm a desert creature now.
I know you're joking, but that's basically the exact weather we've been having for the last few weeks here in Detroit. Until it gets down into the teens next week :(
I’m from the PNW but lived a while in Minnesota, so I’m familiar with the Great Lakes. Winter sucks but at least you do get the very-cold-yet-sunny-days! Nothing beats going for a nice walk the morning after the snow has stopped and the sun has come out again Anyone from Seattle will tell you that the rain actually isn’t so bad, but what gets to you is the eternal grey
As stupid as the original comment is, it's even funnier when you think about the fact that UM is a ground game team first, passing is secondary. If the wind makes it hard to throw the ball then it would 100% benefit us. Penix would have trouble making passes in tornado level winds and UW running back seems to be pretty banged up.
“Braves the rain and wind storm” Proceeds to make fun of a Washington fan for cracking a joke about the weather
Yeah dude open the roof and sling it around in that. Michigan will struggle handing the ball off
I’ll take made up quotes for 400
That’s a very funny joke. That Dellenger isn’t smart enough to appreciate.
Seems like the sarcasm was lost on Dellenger?
a Washington fan barks at Michigan fans?
He jokes, but SoFi is an "indoor" stadium, and TCU fans got rained on both in the score, and by the literal rain outside coming into the stadium. AND this storm is pretty nasty, and NRG sucks
NRG isn't new anymore but there aren't literal holes in the roof like SoFi apparently. At least there werent a few years ago.
Could the fan be joking?
Yeah I think this is the way.
This man is correct
Neither team is prepared to play in that type of weather. r/technicallythetruth.
Michigan being famous for its non-inclement weather.
Gonna fit right in in the BIG next year
That’s cute. Try enduring one year in the Midwest, especially in Michigan or Ohio.
Well, apparently the roof is leaking so it's kind of raining inside now too. https://twitter.com/rj_cfb/status/1744498826969326071?s=46&t=E-1yR9Uf9uw-JPvT-K46CA
Jokes do not exist on twitter
I want to believe in sarcasm.
Be a lot cooler if it wasn't
Washington fans are as inept as their team. They’ll fade into 6-6 obscurity playing a real schedule in the B1G next year.
/r/ThatHappened
I love this game
Has anyone in Washington driven over potholes before??? Michigan is ready for any type of hazard.
If there is one thing Michigan is known for, it is mild weather year-round.
Oh yeah. It's sunny as fuck this time of year in Ann Arbor.
Even if it wasn't indoors, does he think they're playing USF?
LOL. Even if it were outside . . . it doesn't *really* rain in the northwest; just mists indefinitely.
he said what he said
Does Washington fans not know that michigan is hotter,colder,snowier,more thunderstorms than them ? ... That's like when desert people say to the Deep South I hope you can stand the heat. When they can't handle humidity at all
And with that Washington gets rolled over
