[GeneralHankerchief]

Well, both of them beat PSU, so I am going to sit silently and sulk.

Meanwhile, I'm going to hop on the Rutgers bandwagon.

Michigan:
OSU:

GO BLUE!!!

or as my Columbian hallmate likes to say:

VAMOS AZULES!!!!!!!!

[ELITEofWARMANGINGERYBREADMEN88]

Go Pittsburgh and Pen State :) :-)! !

[Aenlic]

I was all set to be mightily interested in the outcome of the game next week. As a Texas fan, I needed to hope that OSU beat Michigan by a huge amount, thus setting up a Texas/OSU rematch for the championship. Sadly, Kansas State beat Texas last night and so now my interest in the big matchup next Saturday has waned. I think I'll jump on the Rutgers bandwagon now too, just out of spite. (sigh)

GO BLUE!!!

or as my Columbian hallmate likes to say:

Heh.

One of my professors always says "Go Blue" at the end of lecture on Thursday...except on the Thursday before the Ball State game where he said it wasn't needed... You know what happened there...

Anyway... 6 Days!

...OSU beat Michigan State by a huge amount...

Hmm... I don't know what to make of this statement. On the one hand, it is coherent, as Michigan State is probably the only team worse than OSU, but then again, I know you were talking of Michigan...

[discovery1]

I take it you guys are talking about football?

If so, I can't really say anything.

Yes, we are disco. How's your football team doing?

[discovery1]

Well, we have improved over last year as you well know, but that doesn't say much. 2 wins with 9 looses.

[Alexander the Pretty Good]

NJIT's football team remains undefeated since 1881.

Yeah, I corrected it. I was trying to say Michigan and Ohio State and it came out OSU and Michigan State.

It's nothing against the Wolverines. It's just that (up until last night when KSU beat them) the UT Longhorns were needing a big blowout by OSU of Michigan in order to keep UT's BSC championship hopes alive. But UT took themselves out of contention by losing to Kansas State. So now it doesn't matter. I might even cheer on Michigan. I've always liked them more than OSU.

When was the last time the Wolverines won a national title? I was trying to remember and it isn't coming to me. 1997 or so, co-champions with Nebraska?

[Reenk Roink]

ESPN is obviously shooting needles...

5 Days!

Yup, '97!

[Ice]

Ha, they have us in the Rose Bowl. Not a bad bowl, but I think we are going to be in the BCS Championship.

[Reenk Roink]

Wow...

Seems like every sport except Soccer is not cared about here...

Anyway, I love this article:

So many reasons to hate Ohio State

We're not nice to Bucknuts that invade our town every other year, not by any stretch. Wearing scarlet and gray usually earns you some choice words from the Michigan faithful, or maybe even a stray water balloon tossed in your direction.

But you guys take it to a new - and disturbing - level. Buckeye fans have been known to assault opposing fans while the Columbus cops turn a blind eye. To Ohio State fans, a sucker punch is an acceptable form of behavior when a Michigan student is on the receiving end.

That's not rivalry. That's not fun. That's sick. And Ohio State fans should be ashamed of it, instead of touting physical intimidation as a reason why Columbus is a tough place to play.

The same dichotomy (It's a big word, I know. Ohio State students, I recommend dictionary.com.) applies to the respective athletic departments as well.

In Ann Arbor, the visiting Buckeyes are greeted by a friendly athletic department representative, who guides the team to the visitors' locker room.

In Columbus, the visiting Wolverines are greeted by not-so-friendly attack dogs, in a "security measure" that Ohio State takes against no other team.

Seems a bit excessive, especially when the hardened criminals usually hail from Columbus (insert your own Maurice Clarett joke here).

But when your all-time record against Michigan is 39-57-6, you need every unfair advantage you can get. At least that's how the screwed-up thinking goes in Bucknut country.

1 day!

Just saw on ESPN.com that Bo Schembechler collapsed and died today.

Legendary UM coach Bo Schembechler has just died. The hype to this game will now reach unheard-of proportions.

EDIT: grr second place

This could either overshadow or motivate the UM effort. I wonder how "silent" the moment of silence will be in Columbus, I'm sure they'll have one.

Do it for Bo!

[Kongamato]

Does anybody else despise Brent Musberger's play-by-play? He acts like a drama queen and exaggerates everything.

[Reenk Roink]

42-39 OSU lead...

2 minutes to go...

OSU ball...

I STILL BELIEVE!

So do most people:

[Reenk Roink]

Gah...

[Ice]

Gah...

Those 10,000 Alumni and 80,000 truck driving OSU fans should be happy.

[Kongamato]

Waaait a moment. I remember seeing a votemap on ESPN on Thursday or Friday showing that the nation, with the exception of states Michigan and Wyoming expected OSU to win. That map was all red. What a fickle set of voters.

Also,

UM is no better. The standard response to obnoxious UM fans around here is to ask what they majored in.

Let's not go there on academic quality. I could easily pull up the rankings on universities.

[Kongamato]

Wasn't going there. What I was saying is that a lot of their fans aren't students or alumni.

That's true, I used to go to a game every season since I was 13...

Anyway, we still have a small chance to get a rematch against OSU. *hopes*

The Rose Bowl is the best second prize one can hope for though...

[Reenk Roink]

Can't believe I'm saying this but GO NOTRE DAME!

[Reenk Roink]

Ermm... GO UCLA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Ice]

Ermm... GO UCLA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Oh well. Always next season.

[Gregoshi]

Oh come on, USC deserves to jump over Michigan - they beat the "great" Notre Dame after all... wait, so did Michigan and by a larger margin.

Forget about that, USC only has one loss... eh, apparently Michigan only has one loss too.

Well, even though USC's only loss was to unranked Oregon State, it was a close game... um, well, it seems Michigan's only loss was in a close game too - against the #1 team in the country.

That all doesn't matter! The polls are never wrong!
