The Big Game

...is, of course, OSU versus Michigan.

I just heard the good news. Because of a local ABC blackout, ESPN will broadcast the game out here in LA. Not seeing it (in one form or another) would be unthinkable. I haven't missed it in decades.

A month ago, it looked like it just might be another game, but, as the gods decreed, it's the most important game of the season. It will determine major bowl games for either team and may also decide who takes the conference.

Michigan, understandably, is the underdog. They might be on fire, and it might be a home game, but they are facing a team that's only lost twice, both times to top five teams, in their only close games this season.

For great coverage of the rivalry--from an Ann Arbor guy point of view, not a Columbus guy point of view--check out my friend's blog The M Zone. If you're a Buckeye fan, however, I'm guessing Pajama Guy is already too intellectually challenging for you to be reading this post.
