Michigan turns down deal to pay for OSU's stadium.

Michigan and Ohio State announced today that they were selling the rights to the Michigan/OSU game - it would become the SBC Michigan-Ohio State Classic, for a two year consideration of $1.6 million. Ohio State's coach was thrilled because it would help offset the cost of their stadium upgrades.

Michigan alumni objected, and it now appears that Value City University will have to foot the bill for their own field.

Thank God and Go Blue!

2. What, you won two games in fourteen years

or something like that? And still can't afford to pay for your own stadium upgrades?

4. The problem with that statement is....

OSU is heading up and the Puppies are heading down. I expect Meeeechigan to be on the same level as Michigan State in a couple of years.

BTW: My team is the only "U" in college football.

6. 3 losses is evidence of a decline?

And up is down. Black is white.

7. Yes, and a 7-1 record shows you are on the way down

apparently. As does having freshmen phenoms at QB and RB.

NOT that I am taking anything for granted, mind you. Ohio State and Michigan State are both quite dangerous - particularly when a win against Michigan would make either team's season. OSU has had an unlucky year.
