At the same time it would be BIG for the big ten knocking off a SEC on their home turf. Man this hard. I guess I will go with the flow.
    agree. I can hardly imagine ANY situation where I would pull for UM, and won't here either---tho it's sure tough to root for Saban and the Tide! I must admit, Hoke is/has been a great pick up by UM. As soon as they announced that hire, I was worried. And I respect the heck out of him for sitting Fitz and Clark. With Urban in Columbus, I think tOSU and Mich are going to be meeting frequently in the B1G championship game!

    You guys don't understand the rivalry!

    How don't i understand the rivalry?? Been watching tOSU/Michigan for 50 years! The greatest memory I have is OSU beating Michigan in 1968 50-14 with Woody going for 2 after the last TD. Woody hated the team up north and wanted to beat them by 50 every time, and rejoiced when anyone else beat them, whether it was by 1 point or 50. I'm guessing Woody understood the rivalry. I don't care if Ohio State beats an 11-0 Michigan team, or an 0-11 Michgan team. Either win is just as sweet. As long as UM loses, it doesn't matter to me. I flippin hate Michigan. Nothing personal to any of UM fans. A lot of my friends are UM fans, and they're still my friends. But the U of M can never win another game--which would be a perfect world as far as I'm concerned.
    Don't tell me I don't understand the rivalry!

    oh..sorry about that. :) ..never mind
    btw...let me just say...(as a firm UM hater)-- I folow your posts on here, and you seem like a decent fellow. Just happen to be pulling for the wrong team, but otherwise one of "the normal ones" (and there aren't that many on here..)

    brady hoke suspending two players for this game that has BCS championship hopes week 1 shows that he wants to separate the program from others that turn their cheek. toussaint is a key piece to michigans offense. im a hardcore michigan fan so im taking them in the upset but i wouldnt be suprised if they dont pull it off. HAIL TO THE VICTORS GO BLUE

    I really just hope Michigan competes and Bama doesn't blow them out. I really would like to see Michigan win but I also would like to see them lose.

    Right in the middle of commentators talking it broke to another audio and video feed. Then the feed rewinded.

    No it was great not perfect. Perfect would have been a pick 6. :).
  • Tiger2003
    That looks like a bad spot.
