Today Is The Day
Today is the big game, so don't bother me, I need to concentrate on this momentous occasion. Admittedly, with both teams losing last week, it takes the edge off a bit, but this is still the biggest game of the season.
The Michigan-OSU game has been THE game in the Big Ten (heck, the country) for decades, and even more so since Bo shocked Woody in 1969. (Check out the recent HBO documentary about the rivalry to learn more about it). And for all our other classic rivals--Notre Dame, MSU--really nothing compares to this. Even the Rose Bowl doesn't.
OSU has a bit more to lose, with only one loss. And they've been whomping on Michigan for years now. But maybe the Wolverines are due--though with the questionable health of its two top players, they'll have to figure out new ways to win.
Ohio is heavily favored, moreso than in the past several years, but I know, beating within the breast of every true Michigan fan, is that little spark of hope that says this is the year.

Tressel has beaten U-M five out of six, so I guess that is whomping on. Their two top players are Manningham and Long; watch when they go in the draft. Henne plays the most important position at QB (with a very inexperienced backup) and Hart's backups are not very good, so their questionable health (due to overuse by Coach Carr) puts U-M in a bad position. OSU is favored by four -- not too heavy.

I'll bet Jake Long is extremely happy that he stuck around for this year: Another loss to Ohio and a ground-breaking loss to Appalachain...
