They even mentioned about Michigan’s weak game play saying, “We overestimated ourselves and forgot that the Longhorns are on a different tier in 2024. Your rich history, passionate fanbase, and undeniable swagger remind us that we still have much to prove before we can even think of comparing our program to yours. We’ll work on staying in our lane and recognizing that the path to greatness is long, and Texas knows the way. Sincerely, A Humbled Michigan Fan.” Accepting such thing publically was very brave of them.
