Michigan fans/Ohio State fans

Tomorrow begins the week of "The Game" (cue the music).

For both teams, and their fans, everything changes starting around 630pm-7pm (the minute their respective games with Northwestern and Purdue end).

The DU Lounge will be running a-plenty with jokes geared towards both sides, and it should ALWAYS be reiterated that these are just jokes. Nothing is to be taken personally and low blows are not welcome.

Should Ohio State survive the Purdue game with a win and Michigan survive the Northwestern game with a win, "The Game" will feature two Top 5 teams for the first time in a LONG time. This year's game should be a war not seen since the days of Woody and Bo.

That being said, Ohio State fans WILL do their best to keep it all in check and leave it all on the field. No personal attacks, no cheap shots. We all represent each other in this, so let's keep it clean.

Michigan fans WILL do their best to keep it all in check and leave it all on the field. No personal attacks, no cheap shots. You all represent each other in this, so let's keep it clean.

27 hours before we go to war with each other....let's not act like it actually IS a war. Leave that to semi-suspended Miami players.

Sign in, Buckeye fans and Wolverine fans.

Get the blue midgets!

There IS no other game: Linfield. Willamette. Salem. Playoff berth on the line. The third-ranked and undefeated Wildcats travel to McCulloch Stadium for their annual donnybrook with the Bearcats. Winner heads to the Division III playoff. Loser goes home.

Go Linfield!

Who is on grandchildren duty this weekend, or he'd be in Salem

Steubenville/Northwest is tonight!

Go Northwest!

And someone should inform "Northwest" that there have been a couple of additions to the country since the early 19th century.

In the great Pacific Northwest

..they're located in the southwest part of the county.

Matter of fact, I can't find a single place where they'd be in the Northwest part of it.

You should definitely take that into account while you're running your campaign: Not every voter in the district is a Rhodes scholar.

By the way, how's the campaign going?

...the national support I have is tremendous. I've spoken to three Congresspeople in the past 5 days, and have fundraisers set up for the next couple of months.

Speaking engagements scheduled in a few places (but DAMMIT the Medina County HQ doesn't f-ing know how to return calls)

"DUers For Congress" fundraiser in 2 weeks here...raising money for me, Vince Whitacre and Charlie Crystle.

Not like very many people know about Ohio High School Football....


our high school football ROXXORS everyone elses.

can't be evil can they? :evilgrin:

Rivalries should be fun. As long as you're winnin'! :-)

Aka its law school.

Of course, should either by some miracle get to the Sugar Bowl, they will just be completely dominated by Oklahoma...

....just as I wasn't ready to hand it to Miami last year, when all the college talking heads said Ohio State had no chance.

Which gave them a decent running attack...which I've seen no real evidence of, despite pounding the hell out of Indiana. Oklahoma has played several tough opponents this year and beat the tar out of all of them...and I mean hard. Embarassing, in fact.

Of course, Navarre will just throw 28 interceptions on his first 30 passes against Oklahoma, so the Wolverines won't fare any better...maybe if he didn't choke in big games I might have some faith in him...

They were down 28-7 against Minnesota going into the 4th quarter, they won 38-35. Navarre also did great against Michigan State which I considered a big game because Mich State was #1 in the Big 10 at the time. He is doing great this year imo, he is completing 58% of his passes, he has 2,494 passing yards, 19 touchdowns-8 interceptions.

But, still, there's always going to be the lurking fear with me that he's going to go belly-up in the big one...

As a native born Minnesotan and having attended 'The U' I was crushed by that. The jug was so close. Not since I was there and Chip Lohmiller kicked it thru the uprights--and yet, in the end..

The Goph's Coug'ed it!

Football in Minnesota can break your heart. At least since 1960--which was before my time.

....for 9 of the 14 games last year. I give him plenty of snaps for his season, but he's not the reason we won it all.

Our defense is. And it's better than last year's.

Oklahoma is playing the best football in the NCAA this year. But I'm not handing them anything yet.

Total rushing.... RB had over a 100 on his own.

against Michigan State HIMSELF.

Michigan can run the ball right down anyone's throat.

Go Blue!

Miami didn't look unbeatable at all. They lost to Florida State by a missed field goal that was wide right, they were tied at 10 with Rutgers going into the 4th quarter then unloaded scoring 40 something points. They barely beat Pittsburgh and Virginia Tech as well as Tennessee and Florida. The only close game Oklahoma was in was against Alabama and that was just the second week of the season, most teams tend to get better as the season rolls along.

It will be close, and it will be a war if we see OU vs. OSU.

Go Blue!

AWD and I have had amicable discussions on this in the past. No profanity, mutual respect.

Because your losing streak against the Buckeyes is about to be 3 in a row.

Tressel vs. Carr= Buckeye Domination

You had it during the Cooper years, now you pay back all of that karma.

As long as the S/G get by Purdue this weekend, next Saturday in A2 should be a good one.

Official Buckeye karma now engaged - "Navarre, throw it to the guys from Ohio...."

Good luck everyone! (especially Alabama tomorrow)

(go bucks!)

...who's also a Buckeye fan!

WELCOME!!!!!

Sasquatch checking in.

and will be flying all week. Go Bucks!!!!!!!!!!

...waiting for the Purdue Game while watching SU & Miami.

n/t

I would munch rather watch Northern Illinois face off against Eastern Michigan this weekend.

I need to tell my wife as she is certain not to be there. She goes shopping or whatever on that day.

My wife and daughter take off for the day too......every Ohio State/Michigan game

Rivals talk trash, but there is always respect there.

This should be one hell of a "Fire Lloyd Carr After Another Loss To Ohio State" Week.

....maybe we'll be seeing how civil we can keep it when and if our teams meet up in the Championship game! :evilgrin: Good luck with those Wolverines Jeff...we've got Rebels to do battle with *gag*! :scared:
