Being a fan of Michigan football in 2024 is like stepping in poop.
First of all, no one outside of the farming industry ever thinks that they're going to actually step in poop; it's always some surprising, temporarily devastating occurrence that catches people off guard, especially if they're still experiencing a sugar high from winning a national championship or something. Michigan fans definitely should've realized that going through the subsequent offseason was like skipping through a field of cow pies, but that's not really a failure unique to them.
The second thing about stepping in poop is that it always takes much longer to get off your shoe than you think it will.
