Rob Oller commentary: Deep in enemy territory, Michigan alums gather

THE COLUMBUS DISPATCH

The indoor dining area overlooking the 18th green at Muirfield Village Golf Club offers a surgery observation room view of nature receiving a nip and a tuck, where fescue and feldspar are trimmed and raked to make the natural appear almost unnatural.

Oddly enough, golfers playing the 18th hole who looked into the Muirfield dining room Thursday would have caught a similar view of a most unnatural variety. Not 100 yards from where Ohio State legend Jack Nicklaus plays host to honoree ceremonies during his Memorial Tournament, 30 members of the University of Michigan Alumni Club of Central Ohio gathered to sip wine, swap stories and enjoy one another's company in a room draped with maize and blue block-M flags.

In terms of appearing out of place, a Michigan alumni club having its spring dinner at the northern home of one of the Buckeyes' best-known boosters is like earthworms choosing to party in a robin's nest. Another perspective: How brazen of Meeshigan fans to drink pinot noir in the beer-and-burger world of Buckeyedom.

Or there is this: Meeting at Muirfield, which needs only hash marks to feel like Ohio Stadium each spring as thousands of Ohio State fans fill the Memorial galleries, symbolizes the fish-out-of-water feel of a Michigan fan living in the Land of Tress.

"It's been a living hell," said Steve Casciani, a 1985 Michigan graduate living in Columbus who is fully aware of the "Leave if you don't like it" attitude his comments are sure to bring.

"Herein lies the difference between Michigan and Ohio State," he said. "We don't hate, and we teach our children not to hate other teams. There is no hate up in Michigan."


No, you teach the little bastards to think they are so superior to everyone else they don't have to hate them, they pity them. You teach them to be conceited, arrogant little pricks.

We simply teach our children that it is ok to hate evil(and conceited arrogant little traitorous fucks). I don't have a problem with that.

Morality lessons from traitors, you have to love the irony.

what a crock of shit. that's why everybody is cheering the burning of the Ohio State "offer" by Gardner.

The only thing worse than the arrogance those assholes display, it's the fact that it's completely hollow.

And some Buckeye fans actually hope they're successful to make the rivalry "more competitive"? Hope the whole goddamn campus is swallowed up by the earth. Fuck scUM.

Yeah, but I'll take that comparison. Darth Vader was ten times cooler than that pussy Luke Skywalker.

This is my son's first season of flag football (spring flag football at that) It's an 8U league. He leads the league in receptions with 10, has scored 5 or 6TDs and has 3INTs with one taken back to the house.

Today, he received an offer to play slot WR at Michigan in 2010.... We're, needless to say, very excited....
