Dave Partnoy Still Can’t Beat Michigan Shirt – Viral Big Noon Kickoff Moment
When Dave Portnoy made his explosive debut on Fox’s Big Noon Kickoff in Columbus, he electrified the crowd with something more than commentary—he pulled back his hoodie to reveal this maize‑and‑blue tee emblazoned with the words “Still can’t beat Michigan,” drawing a chorus of boos and instantly turning the garment into cultural currency.

This shirt isn’t just cotton and print—it’s a lightning rod of college‑football drama. Portnoy, a proud Michigan alum, wore it amidst a WWE‑style promo, singing “Hail to the Victors” and poking at four straight Wolverine victories over the Buckeyes. It’s the kind of devious fan gear that only someone with Portnoy’s boldness would don live on air—and in the face of hostility.
It reflects more than a rivalry: it’s pure spectacle. This is the shirt for fans who thrive on the history, the taunts, and the theatrics. It references The Game, one of North America’s most storied rivalries—dating back to 1897—and Michigan’s current four‑game streak over OSU. Wearing it signals allegiance to dominance and personality: a blend of collegiate pride and media-fueled trolling.
More than a souvenir, this tee is a conversation starter—wear it, and you’re wearing the moment: Portnoy’s entrance amid smoke, taunts, and laughter. You become part of a narrative that stretches from early icons like Woody Hayes to modern broadcast face-offs. It’s not just nostalgia—it’s athletic history punctuated with personality, provocation, and unmistakable fandom.
