Non Buckeye fans, tell me

[spydermike72]

As bad as Michigan is playing ?? 7 wins in a row is not playing bad!! Time will tell who is victorious!!

Go Blue!!

 

[richtee]

No no.... Tail already jinx'd OS...let's let it work ;{)

 

[spydermike72]

Here is the reason, they Buckeyes play boring football and the fans are all arrogant and most of them do not understand the meaning of sportsmanship. Try going to Columbus with a Michigan plate on your car, or wearing gear from another team there, you may not make it out of Ohio!! A little razzing is fine, but physical harm is another!!
That is just my humble opinion!!

Go Blue!!

 

[spydermike72]

I hear ya Rich, I will lay off now...

 

[richtee]

MIKE!!! dambit! Sheesh I set him up SOOo sweetly too.. Sigh

 

[invader q]

Could always be worse. You could live here in Nebraska where our coach is breaking all sorts of the kinds of records you don't want to break. With luck, we will get a new coach soon.

 

[richtee]

Q..I would think living in Nebraska is punishment enough. Might move there just to escape Michigan, however. Sigh. The state, not the team :{)

Yes you guys have won 7 in a row but even Michigan fans have to admit that loosing to Appalachian State and Oregon and a few close wins over Penn State and Illinois is not typical Michigan football. Its good but not good for Michigan. Can you really argue that Michigan is playing better football than Ohio State this year? I have never been to a Michigan/OSU game and dont really like going to the Shoe that much for the same reasons you said Mike, but I have done lots of fishing in Michigan and can say that there are plenty of arrogant fans up there also, really there are A-holes every where you go! I think the Bucks have won the last 3 against Michigan? It will be hard to win up there no matter what the records are. Is Hart back to 100% yet?

 

[spydermike72]

You are correct, although losing to Oregon is not as bad looking as it was in September. This is not a typical UofM year for sure. Of course UofM fans and alums are arrogant but you or any buckeye fan would be safe at the Big House, where as the same cannot be said for the Shoe.
Hart is not 100%, but we are playing Sparty this week, so I am sure he will play. This is probably the toughest stretch for UofM - MSU,Wis, and pOSU all in a row...

 

[twistertail]

I hope they beat M. State and Wisconsin and that they can rest up Hart for a Big 10 title showdown with OSU! Of course the Bucks have to do their part and beat Wisconsin and Illinois. I want to see the best of both teams on Nov. 17th!!

For the record...... <thinks to self> "I cant beleive I am about to say this" Oklahoma is the best football team in the country right now. My wife and I are firmly divided during football season. This part of the world (Arkansas/Oklahoma border) you either a Sooner fan or a Hog fan, she is the former, I am the latter. AAAANDDDDD further more we are a head coach away from playing for a National Title.

Did you ever think that the day would come when the Red Nation said to themselves "Beating Kansas is going to be really tough this year."?

I can't believe how well KU is playing. I keep waiting for the bottom to drop out. I also have to keep reminding myself that this isn't the men's basketball team they are talking about when they mention KU sitting atop the Big 12 conference!

 

[ajthepoolman]

I am not happy to say it either! But I think that when it comes to big games and the pressure it brings, OU has the experience that Kansas and Missouri lack.

That said, I hope that Kansas whips them all. And it really wouldn't surprise me if KU blows it or walks out with a win. They play as solid of football as you can ask. It was midway into the 3rd quarter against Texas A&M before Kansas recorded their first penalty. (KU had never won in College Station till Saturday, the greatest football atmosphere regardless of what others might tell you)

Kansas is a disciplined team that ranks high in defense, offense and every other major stat. The only thing that they don't measure is how they will respond to the pressure of a major bowl game.

 

[richtee]

And as a Michigan fan, I can verify that THAT is more meaningful than most of the stats used by the BCS! Heh.

 

[ajthepoolman]

So true. Pressure is a major factor at least for the first quarter!

 

[twistertail]

Talk about bad sportsmanship, anyone see the video of the Penn State fans throwing beer cans and the OSU fans? It was on Youtube but was taken off.

 

[richtee]

No kiddin'. Wow. Bad. Especially if they were empty...;{)

 

[twistertail]

they were throwing empty ones and full ones. One guy ran up about 5 feet away from the Buckeye fan and threw one! I guess it happened before the game just outside the stadium.

 

[richtee]

Sheesh.

These guys are gonna be running the country in 20 years too. Scary. I've said many times - I'm glad I'm 44 and not 24. Makes me worry for my kids- and theirs, etc.

I think the same thing sometimes Rich, I turned 30 this summer. I dont think there are that many more bad kids out there now than there ever has been but with the internet and everyone having picture phones and video phones you see everything now. And bad news travels fast!
