Week 2 of college football is here, and games are getting intense. The 2203 national champions Michigan Wolverines lost to the Texas Longhorns. This is the only second time that the two major programs have faced each other. Their first encounter was in the Rose Bowl in January 2005. As expected, social media is there to add salt to the Wolverines’ wounds. Antonio Brown, the former NFL player known for controversies, joined the Texas fans and fueled an already heated rivalry.
Brown, who is known for his bold and often provocative statements, sarcastically shared a meme on X and pointed out Michigan’s loss. Michigan fans were very confident before the game and expected their favorite team to put up a strong fight, but Texas dominated throughout the game, leaving the home fans dumbfounded.

Michigan fans, of course, will not find any joy from today’s game! But, that’s part of the game. You win some (you win all if we see their 2023 season), and you lose some! Opposition fans will use the losses for banter. Antonio Brown wasn’t the only person to have fun at Michigan’s cost. More than anything else, the Wolverines must be trying to make sense of what exactly happened today. How can the mighty fall like that?

Texas Longhorns defeated national champion Michigan Wolverines
No.3 Texas defeated Michigan’s once football topers by 31-12 at the Big House Today. Longhorns will be on the top spot in the national rankings for the next week after today’s dominating victory. Longhorns started the game aggressively, showing their intentions that they were in Ann Arbor to play and not to be pushed around.
Did anything go right for Michigan? Not really! Bad defense, bad offense, interceptions, drops, fumbles! It’s like Sherrone Moore’s worst nightmare about the game came true. Michigan did not get any sacks on defense and didn’t score even a single touchdown until the last two minutes of the game.

Wolverines fans are very disappointed because this was Michigan’s first loss since the 2022 College Football Playoff and first regular-season loss since 2021. For the first time, the national champion team scored its first touchdown 58 minutes into the game, which was of no use as the outcome was decided. Warren finished for them with a 30-yard touchdown pass to Morgan. The entire Texas team was fabulous on the field today.
What’s your perspective on:
Antonio Brown's antics: Justified banter or unnecessary drama? What do you think, Michigan fans?
Have an interesting take?
It was still redeemable in the second quarter until Warren threw a pick, and Loveland fumbled a catch. The Horns ended the half with a touchdown because their QB, Quinn Ewers, still remembered how to throw for a TD. Naturally, both sets of fans were hyped up for the game. Texas fans will go home happy, and Michigan fans will find it hard to digest this one. Can they turn it around next week? What do you thing? Tell us in the comments!
