Frankly, I am far more upset about the Nebraska thing than the Michigan thing. Sometimes it’s just painful to call both those states home. [sniffle] ---

As a born-and-raised Michigander who spent the majority of her fomative years in and around Ann Arbor and U-M, I can only say this… GO OSU! And everyone else that beats U-M! Woohoo! 😃 ---

Well, it wasn’t the rout I’d hoped for after the amazing first half, but it _was_ quite a game, wasn’t it? Heck of a welcome for our new coach, thanks. ---

The Buckeyes have been sucking for a long time now, not like the Buckeyes of my youth with Woody Hayes who used to rule the Big 10. But beating Michigan still feels great! ---

> [@](#): > > \*\*Barking Spider \*\* > The Buckeyes have been sucking for a long time now, not like the Buckeyes of my youth with Woody Hayes who used to rule the Big 10. Think about that for a second and get back to me. OSU football under [John Cooper](http://ohiostatebuckeyes.fansonly.com/sports/m-footbl/mtt/cooper_john01.html) had a terrific winning record, in general. Against UofM, not so much. In John Coopers 13 years, had a better than half the wins Woody had in 28 years (IIRC, 103/13 vs. 205/28) Forget about the Michigan thing (which sucks, I know) and your statement is crap. I was at OSU during Coopers time and though I hated losing to those jagoffs up North, I loved that we usually crushed everyone else. My $0.02. ---

Just gotta say that when **thinksnow** was here this summer, we went to a bar and actually got the piano players to play the “hang on sloopy” song. ---

Born in Illinois, raised in Ohio, now live in Michigan… Go (insert state of choice). I don’t know who to cheer for but have decided to root for the Buckeyes when they play U of M. Just kinda like the underdog. ---

Big thanks to another OSU : Oklahmona State way to go for beating OU, such that Texas can now play for at least the Big 12 Championship and perhaps the national title if we have a little more college football wackiness. Hook 'em Horns! ---
