I beg to disagree. Those games ARE lessened when one team is in the crapper and a victory over a team in the crapper doesn't mean as much. Michigan's greatest win was over the 1969 Buckeyes because it was The Game and because it cost us so much.

I was so looking forward to beating Michigan in AA this year because I expected them to be making a run at the NC.

So I agree that those rivalries are huge regardless of records, but huge comes in different sizes (just ask the lady that takes out my pants).

All that said, part of the joy of beating Michigan is making them feel pain. If we can experience that joy without even playing them all the better.

On the other hand -

My favorite episode of Alfred Hitchock presents when I was a kid was about a woman who squealed on her gangster boyfriend and got him killed. The gangster's brother tracked her down and had a gun to her head. She told him to go ahead and shoot. Her life was crap and she wanted to die.

He took pity. Got her out of the gutter. Bought her nice things. Even married her.

About a year later he asks her is she is happy. She says yes. Happier than she has ever been in her life.

He says good. Pulls out his gun and shoots her.

I want Michigan at 9-2 thumping their chests and all set to print Big Ten Championship tees.

I agree with all you've said. But since huge came in as an ultra double super sized extra extra value meal last year, I guess I can accept a brief hiatus from it this year.

There is an army of UM fans in central Ohio, in Columbus, where I live in Lancaster, and elsewhere, that are UM fans for the sole purpose of being antagonists. We'll call these people "John Cooper's Army."

These are people that have no affiliation to UM, and in many cases don't follow UM much of the regular season, either. What these people do, is the day of The Game, they break out their Desmond Howard bobble heads and put on their Charles Woodson jerseys, and they head out to bars en masse to heckle Ohio State fans. They recite UM's history, the National Title years from the day of covered wagons, all the streaks and records and so on, and they rub OSU fans noses in shit if UM wins the game. If they happen to lose, they vanish into the woodwork like cockroaches.

Actually, we do have something similar in Michigan. We call them "Spartan fans" :wink2: only they don't vanish into the woodwork whenever Michigan State loses....they just check the Michigan score to make sure they lost too and pretend it's basketball season.

The skunkbears are getting desperate...

The MZone has learned that an email is currently circulating amongst former U-M players asking them to show their support for the 2007 squad by being outside Michigan Stadium to greet the team bus when it arrives for Saturday's game against Notre Dame.

The email, arriving in the in-boxes of former players this week, reads as follows (personal information deleted by us):




Michigan Men... "A call to Arms"

This Saturday approx 1:45pm, we want every former player to meet just outside the tunnel (at Michigan stadium), to support (and remind!) our team on why they wear that winged helmet! We want to show our unity for the Wolverines, when they step off the bus.

For further details, please call Ron Simpkins @ (313)-[xxx-xxxx]

Go Blue,

[xxxxxx]



I wonder if they'll show up wearing bags over their heads. I stole that from one of the comments but I thought it was pretty funny

The Michigan athletic department has declared a "maize out" for the game. If anyone goes ahead with it, the glare will at least keep the cameras off the crowd. :p

:slappy::slappy::slappy:OMFG. Do you realize if they actually do that the stadium will just look like a gigantic toilet filled with piss? I can't wait to see this.

No way the gray beards participate though.

I wish all schools (tOSU included) would stop with the color-x Outs.

It was cool the first time when PSU did it, its lame when they keep repeating it and even lamer when others copy it. Let it go.

P.S. there is a special place in hell for schools(Maryland) that do color-X Outs, can't get anyone but the students to go along and can't sell out the stadium. Note to dickheads- the color-X out only works if the WHOLE stadium is color-x!! And don't even get me started on how in the fuck you can't get them to where black, I mean seriously, is there an easier color in the world? Hand out trash bags with arm holes cut out if you have to and maybe cover those huge empty seating sections with a black tarp?

Last night had to be the lamest color-x Out I have seen to date.

Penn State's White Out(tm) :tongue2: isn't impressive because everybody wears white, it's impressive because everybody wears white and screams until they collapse a lung.

I can just imagine all the UM students and alum sitting on their hands in their maize t-shirts, politely waiting to jingle their car keys on third down. :roll1:

Generally I agree. Although I do find the "Orange-Outs" the Washington Nationals have been doing quite impressive.

Michigan coach calls out wideout

Posted: Friday September 14, 2007 10:13AM ET

Mario Manningham, Lloyd Carr, AP

Michigan coach Lloyd Carr didn't give a resounding endorsement of Mario Manningham when asked about the play of the junior wide receiver. "I don't think he's played as well as he can," Carr said. Hints about Carr's dissatisfaction with Manningham may have come in the praise he had for Adrian Arrington.

You know, I just realized this on at the same time as our game. I'm kinda sad now... I really wanted to just sit back with a bag of chips and laugh for a couple of hours at the circus. But there's no way I'm flipping from one of the few tOSU games I'll get to see this year.
