Michigan Football is always close to football supremacy. With the addition of head coach Jim Harbaugh, the Wolverines are regularly in the College Football Playoff and Big Ten Championship discussion, but have been unable to get over the home in their own division.

Due to falling short of expectations, they are no strangers to jokes and jabs from media, pundits and fans. One big time personality had an opportunity to get a friendly-ish jab in at Michigan.

“Jeopardy” host Alex Trebek interviewed one of the contestants on a recent episode, due to the contestant’s Michigan fandom. Watch below to see the exchange.

“Aaron...is our champion,” Trebek said. “He is a law student and a loyal fan of the University of Michigan Athletics, who got smoked in college football this year by The Tide. Alabama. What are you hoping for next year?”

The contestant may have been caught off guard and brought up one memory that Michigan fans want to forget for the remainder of time.

“It's been a rough decade or so,” he said. “The very first Michigan sporting event I saw was the historic loss to Appalachian State so it can only go up from there.”

Michigan lost the Citrus Bowl in January 35-16 to Alabama after they fell short of an appearance in the Big Ten Conference Championship.

Back in 2007, Michigan started the season hosting Appalachian State when they were ranked No. 5 overall in the country. Appalachian State, then an FCS program, pulled off one of the biggest upsets in college football history.

In a surprisingly close game, Michigan had a chance to win the game, trailing 34-32, with a field goal. However, their kick was blocked as time expired in regulation and the Wolverines were on the wrong end of an upset.

Word to the wise: if you are a Michigan fan, stay away from Alex Trebek.
