Ohio State survives again.
Somewhat good news for me i guess since the value of my Michigan-Ohio State ticket just shot through the roof

quote: COLUMBUS, Ohio -- A Columbus judge says he'll let an inmate stay in jail instead of moving him to prison right away so he can see the Ohio State-Michigan game on TV this Saturday. Jeff Renne told Franklin County Common Pleas Judge Richard Sheward yesterday that he would plead guilty as long as he could stay in the county jail through the weekend. Inmates at the jail can watch TV, but it's off-limits at the Orient reception center, where they are held before they're moved to one of the state's prisons. Renne was charged with forgery. He says if the Buckeyes win on Saturday, he'll still be "on cloud nine" despite being in prison. Judge Sheward says he granted Renne's request because it's Michigan week and he thought he should do his part for the Buckeyes. |
Until Saturday, there will be nothing bigger in Michigan or Ohio than this game, so let me be the first to say "Hail to the victors!"

I'm having deja vu with this Michigan-Ohio State game. I'm flashing back to Michigan-Notre Dame this season.
See, back then, my brain was telling me--Michigan in a blowout. No way can the Irish compete; no way in hell. Michigan will win by at least three TDs. BUT, my gut was telling me--these games are always close. Notre Dame has that magic touch. It'll be tight; Michigan will win, but it'll be nervewracking.
Same thing this week. I look at Michigan, and I see the most balanced, most explosive offense east of the Mississippi and a defense that has been possessed for the past month and a half. I look at the Buckeyes, and I see a scary defense, great special teams, but an offense that couldn't find its own ass with two hands and a map. No way they're able to keep the OSU defense off the field for very long; and before too long, that defense will be worn down. 8 men in the box? Navarre will bomb away to Edwards, Avant, and Breston. Drop back into coverage? Perry will run the ball right up their gut. It's inevitable. Michigan by at least 2 TDs.
BUT, my gut tells me--Christ, OSU should have lost at least 6 or 7 games over the past two years, but they are 24-1. There is a reason; I can't explain it, but there is a reason. This will be close, and if it is close, it'll likely come down to the kicking game; and if it comes down to the kicking game, Michigan is in trouble.
Thus far, my brain is up 1-0 over my gut. Let's hope it goes up 2-0.

I think he's confused OU and OSU.
Speaking of... since basically nobody outside of Ohio wants to see a OU-OSU Sugar Bowl, I think I speak for the vast majority of 'Poly college football fans when I say:
GO BLUE!

Game starts in 10 minutes. If USC or Michigan (really long shot) plays Oklahoma it MIGHT be a decent game. Ohio State and LSU i think would get crushed like everyone else.

quote: Furthermore, if OU played any other team in the Top 10 (save TCU and Texas, who they own), I'd guarentee you a close game. OU is being built up so high and while they are damn good, they ain't as good as everyone is saying. |
Just a minor quibble - while OU certainly outclasses UT, they don't outclass them by 63-14. I think that UT would do a lot better than that, given another chance this year. Probably wouldn't win, but it'd be closer.
