The Michigan Wolverines have disappointed fans once again after entering Week 5 of the 2026 college football season with a loss to Minnesota, falling 20-14. This was Michigan’s second defeat of the season, and the Wolverines managed only 180 total yards. The outlook has completely changed for the Wolverines as the team continues to struggle to meet expectations.Michigan quarterback Bryce Underwood (19) makes a pass against Western Michigan during the second half at Michigan Stadium in Ann Arbor on Saturday, Sept. 5, 2026. USA TODAY Network via Reuters ConnectDave Portnoy Declares Michigan’s Season Over After LossIn a recent conversation, longtime Michigan supporter and Barstool Sports founder Dave Portnoy shared his thoughts on the team’s loss and said:“All right, Minnesota beats Michigan 2014. Seen a lot of Michigan football games. That was just about the grossest. Like, you want to talk about going to the dentist and having, like, your molars and your wisdom teeth just removed with, like, a wrench? And I know everyone’s going to be up Bryce Underwood’s (expletive) Be like, he sucks, we want car, and maybe we do need car.
