Can we please stop with the "scUM" reference please? We are better than that. TSUN and/or M*ch*gan and/or whatever else floats your boat that's not completely low brow will suffice.

Nope!
I really don't think it's a big deal at all... "worst state ever" and being called "cheaters" all the time is way worse than the play on words/initials (scUM)...I'm not a fan of it but it's nothing. Unless coaches etc were using it, it's nothing.

scUM scUM scUMMITY scUM............(sung to the tune of Monty Python's spam)
Battles are sometimes won by generals; wars are nearly always won by sergeants and privates. Football is no different, the guys down in the trenches win the games, not the coach.
If I could give helmet stickers, you sir would be the beneficiary of many!
scUM is not low brow at all in my opinion, they have been called many terrible things over the years by fans, but scUM is not all that bad. I mean, how many times do you hear "F*** Michigan!" on Mirror Lake night? If that was the only phrase used to describe them on this site, then it would be kind of over the top, but scUM? If it's really that bad please explain your ratioanle.
I've never heard F Michigan and high fived more random people in my life than Mirror Lake night. One of the best nights of my life.
Sorry Urban, Woody is still my favorite
I won't ever stop calling them scUM and other play on words. No offense, but I don't think your pledge will ever get rid of that word association with ttun...
No.
MeChicken and MeatChicken are fun as well.
But, TSUN is our official Hayes/Meyer-approved term and should be used -- unless you want to do push-ups.

I rarely use it. Not because i'm mature, I just like saying Meatchicken more.
"YOLO" = I'm about to do something extremely ignorant/stupid & I need an excuse to do it.
Uhh, no.
What the hell just happened here? I am confused did some guy just ask us to stop using scUM, on a Buckeye Board. Well you sure can go to hell. Fuck M!chigan
If you don't like it or the term go somewhere your feelings won't get hurt scUMbucket

Perhaps it is offensive to actual scum to be associated with that particular university?
Meh, I guess these things give the rivalry "character", but I still prefer to use "The University of Michigan". I mean, "That State Up North" and Hoke's classic "Ohio" are innocent, slightly clever monikers for your enemy, but there's a fine line betwixt those things and "Fuckeyes" or "Wolverqueens". I think all's fair in such a fantastic rivalry, and there's no question that the latter nicknames give The Game some edge, but I'd prefer to see less of those and more of the former.
Yeah, I'm pefectly fine calling them "Michigan" or "Wolverines". Maybe I'm a fake Buckeye but I just can't hate one of college football's truly great programs and half of the greatest rivalry in all of sport. I dislike them because their joy comes at the expense of my favorite team but they are a world class institution and football program, I respect them.
4-6 seconds from point A to point B and when you get to point B, be pissed off
You sound like my wife when I call them Meatchicken and tell my kids to hate them. She thinks everyone is a "worthy opponent"
I'm with Hodge on this one. I ascribe to the theory that a classy rivalry is better than a blood feud, so I tend to use TSUN/TTUN or the "buy a vowel" M*ch*g*n.
Thanks Andy. That's all I'm asking.
Just get sick of the boisterous trashy contigent yelling scUM and fcuk Michigan. I see from the myriad Down votes that this one is a losing battle.
Not really into the nicknames, it's kinda corny. Would rather just denigrate the school by pointing out that we own them on the field and the court, and under Urban it's just going to get worse. scUM, TSUN, "Ohio"- never really into this stuff. It's just dumb in my opinion, and weak hate. Wouldn't even make Silky Johnson bat an eye.
I'm calling a Voldemort Voldemort, not "You Know Who."
Is all of this going to be on the 11W mid-term exam?
Only on 11W can the M-Man have 3 upvotes (mine included) compared to Nerdalerts -14 for trying to be more politically correct towards ttun.
I hate aacc. SCUM indeed.
Normally, rising above name calling is the appropriate path. However that jingle of an anthem ringing in my ears brings clarity and understanding to the situation..... "We don't give a damn for the whole state of Meat-chicken"!

So Showthemohioshere and Bigbadbuck says scUM and you exacerbate it by repeating it x amount of times even after we get the joke they are making... Imaturity at its finest. Bravo.

My copy and paste on my keyboard actually got stuck and this is what happened. I thought about deleting most of it because I really only wanted to have it on there like 15-20 times, then I decided it would have about as much tact as a scUM coach at a buffet if I left it all on there.
-The Aristocrats!
Once this comment took up the whole page, I started staring at it looking for the hidden picture or maybe even the first word I saw, like love or courage. Nope, no such luck, just the word scUM repeated multiple times, but I did learn two things. 1. I have been trained by Facebook to do this and must cut down my time on social media, and 2. I need another cup of coffee this morning.
I thought about putting something in there. I really should have. Sorry to disappoint Bayou.
-The Aristocrats!
@Bluebayou...there is a picture in the text you are just looking at it wrong. Stretch your right eye up and our left eye down and tilt your head to a 45degree angle and you're sure to see it!
That's rivalry dedication!
Wherever you are, there you be!
If you guys don't agree with a request made by someone on here, there are certainly more mature ways and less inflammatory ways to talk about it and perhaps even work out a compromise or at least agree to disagree with integrity.
So is the compromise we remove the s?
I agree with your sentiments but lets be honest, you can't convince everyone to stop calling Michigan scUM just like you can't get them to stop using Ohio. I think its immature either way but just get over it and read around it.

I don't really care what you guys call us. This is part of the fun of a rivalry.
Not here to troll...Go Blue
Nerdalert, I appreciate the sentiment, and while I choose not to use such terms myself, I respect the right for people to express themselves however they see fit. Well, unless they are my kids, then they get a timeout and have to stand in the corner.
You put your kids in timeout for calling your team scum? They must be LSU fans I'm guessing?
Good one Oyster. Luckily, none have used the term scUM, but I have already lost one of them to LSU. I can't blame her though since she does go to school there. Darn you Louisiana for offering in-state high school graduates with qualifying gpa and test scores free tuition! Trust me though, if she or my others ever do use that term, to the corner with them.
Asking someone to stop saying scUM is like asking people to stop down-voting on this page. It's part of the rivalry. Their fans call us bad names, we call them bad names. It's going to happen. Not to mention that it's as much a part of this page as horrible spelling and even worse grammar and intolerable run on sentences, so suck it up, and move on with your life, Nancy.
-The Aristocrats!
what kind of scUM would post this topic? :-p
"Winter is coming" - Urban Meyer
scUM sc scUM scUM scUM scUM (to the tune of the Tums commercials)
My nephew, now 9, still thinks M!ch!gan is a "bad" word, refuses to wear any shirt with blue and yellow together. During a Spring Game a few years back, Ttun softball was playing our ladies and was waiting out a rain delay by their bus. As we walked pass, the same nephew, then 5 years, suddenly started to shout at the girls, "Go home Blue, Blue stinks, Buckeyes are better than Blue." As we were hiding our laughter, my brother-in-law swiftly corrected his son. He told him it was ok not to like UM, but we need to be nice to our guests. Even if they are from UM. He asked my nephew, "How would you like someone was telling you to go home and that the Buckeyes stink if you were visiting at M!ch!gan?" My nephew thought about it for a second and replied "Why would I want to go there?" No hiding the laughter after that.
Concerning the scUM issue, I really do not see it as a big deal. They, Ttun, have their names for us. I show Ttun fans respect and do not mind to talk football with them, but the conservation will be terminated once they slander the Bucks or display lack of knowledge of their own team.
I think one of you should start a thread dedicated to you favorite nickname for the University of Michigan to see how many there are.
Those who stay will be CHAMPIONS!
~Bo Schembechler
Count me as one that enjoys the rivalry immensely. Even to the point where I want [them] to be as good as possible going into the Game. The name calling is all part of it, and only ratchets up the emotion between fans. Anything that brings the country's greatest rivalry to the forefront in the midst of the SEC SEC chants is good for us AND [them]. I would love to see us in the same division and both in the top ten going into the game that decides who goes to the B1G championship. Sadly, I don't think they make it this next year, but perhaps in 2014, this could very well happen. And, **sigh**, how long till football?
After some thought, no no I dont think so
I particularly like the vulvarines.
Michiscum. Yesterday, today, tomorrow, and forever....Michiscum.

scUM is a stupid moniker. Always has been. It makes us sound like a four-year old who just figured out the things that rhyme with F*CK. Very cute, now finish your milk.
TSUN or TTUN or even M*CH*G*N. But whatever. I don't really care either way. Just ask yourself if Woody would have ever uttered scUM.
Everyone can find the right term for themselves. I tend toward Hodge, Andy, and Nerd in preferring words other than scum, although I am not offended by anything else either. Some of my best friends are from MI. ok, my wife is from MI, although she is an apathetic fan. Nevertheless, let people find their favorite name and have fun with it, as long as it remains fun.
If we aren't supposed to use scUM, then is Ann Arbor Community College (AACC) acceptable?
I like what the fake lantern had to say on the subject:
I lived in Livonia and Hazel Park in the late 70's and Michiscum is as light as it's going to get. I've still got some hard feelings, even after nearly 40 years.

Class isn't exclusively about what is said, it is also about how it is said. Currently, there are two TTUN fans commenting on this post. Neither have a single downvote. That is classy. So what if someone says scUM or whatever if it is being done in a playful tongue in cheek fashion. Personally I don't like scUM and prefer TTUN but whatevs.
Treating others with respect is important, what one calls the stinky body orifice of a school they went to is less important.
