Wow, there are a lot of people that just hate Ohio. Come on folks, it's not as bad as living in that horrible, putrid state up north.

Yes, it is.

I seriously have always hated OSU and as a Michigan backer, hope for complete and utter descruction to occure in Ohio Stadium thanks to the Wolverines. I still think if this is a close one, they both play for the NC because I guarentee Florida and USC lose before then and I really think that's all that needs to happen as all the other one-loss contenders have been knocked off.

Sorry Rutgers, you're just not there yet.

Nope, sorry, Ohio blows.

[JackTheRipper]

Yes it does.

Glad to see people are giving Michigan a chance

I actually don't think Michigan will win, hence me just assuming OSU is in the MNC. I make a deal wtih you though, if Michigan wins, I'll spend next week with a UM avi and sig. If OSU wins however, well you get to spend the week posting with an OSU logo under your name.

Bucks by 7, mark it down.

Marked.

[JacktheRipper]

Wow, now that Bstn has it in his sig, Michigan is certain to win.

[Chief Bstn]

Well, I DID pick them..

Bama, I hope you're right on this.

I'm going to tell you all why Michigan is going to win this game:

1.) Michigan's defense can create more than enough pressure with the front 4, so they won't have to blitz. With one of the best linebacking corps in the nation, Troy Smith won't have anywhere to go if (and that's a big "if") he can get past the line.

2.) Michigan hasn't run their true offense since Notre Dame, and we all know what happened then. Anybody who has watched all of Michigan's games can clearly see that with the exception of ND, the offensive gameplan has been extremely conservative. Part of that is due to Manningham's injury, but Michigan has been able to rely on the defense to win games for them. But when they march into Columbus, the playbook will be opened up and OSU's defense (which is incredibly overrated, BTW) won't know what to do.

3.) Michael Hart

[Sportsbuck]

Wow, that might be even more biased than the opinon that I was going to say.

1) Do not forget that Ohio State has the athletes and the skills along the defensive line to handle whatever the Wolverines bring at them. This is where this game will be won. If my memory serves correctly, Woodley is the left defensive end, which should put him up against Kirk Barton. Barton will be the key to the game for the Buckeye offense. And don't worry, Troy will not have that hard of a time getting past the front four. We all know what he can do against Michigan, he just has that magic about him.

2) And how exactly is our defense overrated? We have been making the right plays at the right time. And I doubt Lloyd Carr will open up the playbook, we all know how conservative he gets on the road in a rough enviroment. Quinn Pitcock will penetrate into your backfield all day, unless you double-team him. When we see you do that, Henne will have Freeman, Laurinaitis, or anyone else we choose to bring right on his ass.

3) James Laurinaitis

Also as a bonus, why is everyone forgetting about Antonio Pittman? So what if he is facing a great run defense, which I might add is the best defense in the Big Ten against the run that I have seen in a good ten years. But let's not forget something folks: In 2003, Chris Perry ran all over a Buckeye defense that was the best in the country against the run. Just something to think about.

And, who will you choose to put Leon Hall on? It's almost like a pick-your-poison type of deal. We will throw to Ginn, Gonzo, Hartline, Robiske, even a little Maurice Hall provided he gets into the game.

Edit: Yes, this is biased, but I needed to vent.

[Sportsbuck]

DB, I love how you have turned my sig around on me. I also love how you can see the Maize outline on the hat.

Normally, I would come right back at you, and trust me, I have a sig made to do it.

But, I'm just going to ignore it, and let it drop.

[detroitbasketball]

I didn't take great care in preparing it, you know.

The main reason I did it was to put weed on the OSU guy's shirt.

[Sportsbuck]

Wow, DB knows what Weed looks like. That's something I didn't count on.

[detroitbasketball]

Even if I didn't, you do an image search for "weed" and you get about 10,000 results.

[Sportsbuck]

Well, you should know first hand. I mean, your old starting quarterback knew everything about it.

Jeff Smoker. Har. Hilarious.

I have every possible dirt on you via Maurice Clarett, but I won't get into it.

[Sportsbuck]

Yeah. I just had to get that one in.

Thanks to Mo Clarett, a buckeye fan can't win an argument anymore.

[detroitbasketball]

And you can't say something like "he doesn't count" cause without him, you never won that national title.

[JacktheRipper]

I want to note that I will not call marijuana the same thing again until after the game. I mean, with all the mj on the shirts and stuff, this could be fun.

Also seeing all that gange on the OSU guy makes me like them more. It's not that I smoke the stuff, but I don't like seeing it demonized.

P.S.: OSU has nothing on Auburn where cow tipping is concerned. It's as Auburn as celebrating with toilet paper.

I'm not even going to.

I can still remember buying his jersey the day after that game.

I also remember when I still liked him.

Well, for a place in the Midwest, Ohio does have quite a but of hillbillyness.
