Any "contest" of top college football traditions that does not include Script Ohio in the top 8 hardly warrants notice.

It's just a popularity contest. I refuse to take part.

Tyler Ecker....same guy that ran out of bounds on the last play of the OSU-UM game that year. :slappy:

Tyler Ecker SHOULD HAVE run out of bounds on that play, but didn't. He turned to stay in bounds to fight for extra yards, despite that they didn't have any timeouts. He got tackled (and its arguable about whether he fumbled the ball), and the clock kept running and they lost.

Personally, I pull for Big Ten teams in OOC games and bowl games. That usually goes for M*ch*gan, too. But I admit I was laughing at their loss to Appy State. I would have laughed at Wisconsin in that situation, but that's about it. Lately, I think I dislike Wisconsin more than Michigan. Last year, Nebraska became my favorite Big 12 team, as they were, in a way, a Big Ten team. This year, I think Nebraska will be my least favorite team. I don't want to see a team come in and win the conference in their first year. But I'll still root for them OOC.

:lol: What?

Avant caught it, laterals went to Breaston, Hart, Avant, fumble, Manningham, Avant, OL intentional fumble, Hart intentional fumble, Hart, Ecker.

He decided that as the slowest skill player on the field, he should try to score from 75 yds away, instead of letting Breaston run it in against the only nebraska defenders still trying. He was on his hip for all 60 yds, including when Ecker decided to just casually stumble out of bounds 15+ yds from the endzone with no attempt to lateral :lol:

They were talking about the final play of the '05 OSU-UM game where Henne completed a pass to Ecker with little time remaining on the clock and Ecker turned it up field instead of running out of bounds to save time.

Yeah - sorry - I didn't make myself clear. I mean OSU-Michigan that year.

About the 5:20 mark:

Damn. Right you are. I remembered that the game ended with him, but obviously forgot the specifics. Good call.

Maybe it would help if we put the game being discussed in tags around the text. That would make it easier to keep track of which Keystone Wolverines embarrassing exercise in epic ineptitude we're talking about.

For instance,

[Alamo Bowl festival of suck] Ecker should have lateraled the ball[/Alamo Bowl festival of suck],
but
[Troy Smith spanking #2 of 3]Ecker should have run out of bounds[/Troy Smith spanking #2 of 3].

Similar rules are necessary for Crable. His failures were so rampant - Beanie 06, Troy 06, App St 07, Beanie 07, etc - it is easy to get them mixed up (my bad).

This thread brings up an interesting question about Big Ten culture, and more specifically Buckeye culture: Which do you care about more, sticking it to your arch-rival or supporting your conference?

Neither answer would be a bad thing. But it gets to the point of whether the Michigan "hate" or whatever you want to call it is actual factual hate or just a rivalry.

We love Michigan around here. They've been like a gift that keeps on giving.
