Game Thread That Team Up North @ Ohio State - 11/24/18, The '62' Game, Revenge Revoked

Nice work @Ramzy - as usual.

THE SITUATIONAL: DOMINION

Hits the nail on the head and drives home the clear differences between Ohio State and scUM. Perhaps best summarized in this paragraph:
Gotta include the UfM part of that paragraph...

"HOW DO YOU TACKLE A RIVALRY? YOU SHOW THE MOST INCREDIBLE AMOUNT OF RESPECT YOU CAN FOR THAT RIVALRY.– Urban Meyer"

Thanks. Fun one to write.
lol... nice recovery @Ramzy.

"Every year is its own chapter, but the story doesn’t really change,” said Ramzy Nasrallah, executive editor of the Ohio State site Eleven Warriors. “The story is that Ohio State’s aspiration is to be Michigan.”

...

“Michigan does not want to be Ohio State,” Nasrallah, the Eleven Warriors editor, said, “because Michigan wants to be Michigan and still beat Ohio State.”

Oh no. Did he really say that? Yes, he did.

I said all of those words within my broader explanation to the author about how the Gold Pants tradition began, by making superiority over the arch-rival a relatable and reachable exercise. I probably spoke for 20 minutes without stopping to breathe, detailing the Ohio State football tradition from pre-Chic Harley through the Maryland OT win the previous Saturday.

About 12 seconds of context-less sentence fragments were all that made it to print though, and it made me look...well, I want to kick my own ass for saying that, even though I didn't say that. It's not a journalism thing; I spoke too casually to a writer unfamiliar with Buckeyes and Wolverines. I guess what I'm trying to say is Go Blue, hey let's all be Michigan fans."

No joke, that didn't occur to me the first time I read your article. I genuinely thought it was some female Michigan fan.
his cow of a mom cackling in the background is the clincher.

OSU Trustees Claim Vindication
Submitted by Gerald Ford on November 28th, 2018 at 9:00 AM

COLUMBUS (The Harbowitz Report)—Michael J. Gasser, Chair of the Ohio State University Board of Trustees, announced Tuesday that Ohio State’s football victory over arch-rival Michigan represents “a complete and total vindication of the Board’s decision to disregard facts and basic moral guidelines when deciding to retain Coach Urban Meyer.”


Gasser made his incongruous remarks inside a large, obviously oval, stadium known to all OSU fans as “The Horseshoe.” Speaking on the 50 yard line before an assembly of trustees, university officials, and a smirking Urban Meyer, Gasser commented, “The Board took some heat when we retained Urban. Some people felt strongly we should prioritize character, integrity, and the reputation of The University above winning football games.”


Then pointing triumphantly to a scoreboard still illuminated with the final score of 62-39, Gasser concluded, “But where are those naysayers today? I’m pretty sure hanging 62 points on That Team Up North fully exonerates Coach Meyer and lays to rest, once and for all, any concerns that this great institution would ever allow itself to put the ephemeral concepts of integrity and morality above the foundational cornerstone of our great University - winning football games.”


Following Gasser’s remarks, each Trustee prostrated himself before Meyer and ceremoniously placed the football coach’s cleated foot on their neck in symbolic gesture of pious submission.
If you can't beat 'em, mock 'em.

DFBIA and it isn't close.

I'm still owed a case of beer from a Wolverine Welcher for a bet on the 2004 game. Beginning to suspect he's not going to pay up.

edit: To be fair, I can somewhat understand his reticence, given the 58 times I cordially invited him to "Have some, motherfucker!" every time Troy Smith, Ted Ginn, or Branden Joe busted it.
Speaking of which, am I the only one who still watches this awesome @DA-Bucks video on a near-monthly basis?
