The Growing Cooper Manning, Michigan Hotel Rumor Is Probably Fake

September 7, 2024 by The Spun

College Football’s 10 Most Intimidating Stadiums (1:16)

Either Cooper Manning is the greatest troll in the world or the internet has once again led people to believe something that’s not true. 

On Saturday afternoon, No. 3 Texas will face No. 10 Michigan in what should be one of the most exciting games September has to offer. 

Even though Arch Manning isn’t expected to play, there’s a rumor floating around that claims Cooper Manning paid the Graduate Hotel in Ann Arbor to place a Texas flag outside.  

“I hear that Cooper Manning paid to have the Texas flag fly outside the Graduate hotel near campus,” the rumor states . “People in Ann Arbor are not happy about it. As a Michigan alum I’m not sure I feel about that.” 

Roughly an hour later, Michigan beat writer Zach Shaw poured cold water on this rumor. 

“Does the Graduate Ann Arbor not always do this? I know they do for Big Ten games Cooper Manning might be spending his money poorly then …,” Shaw tweeted . 

This response from Shaw would suggest that Cooper Manning didn’t spend money just to have a Texas flag outside the Graduate in Ann Arbor.

Maybe, just maybe, the Manning family will address this rumor before the game officially begins.

Kickoff for the Texas-Michigan game is at noon ET. Oddsmakers have the Longhorns as a slight favorite despite being on the road. 

ESPN’s computer model gives Texas a 74.1 percent chance of taking down Michigan in Ann Arbor.
