Wanted to share this with BP.
Yesterday, my Brother, my Brother-in-Law and I watched THE Game at Buffalo Wild Wings in Greensboro.
Not very many people there for either team, but there were us three Buckeyes, a spattering of Buckeyes around, and four Wolverine Fans to our left.
We introduced ourselves to the fans of TTUN. The four gents are: Shawn, Randy, Keith and Will.
Keith ends up being
Tripp Wellborne's brother. For those who don't remember, Tripp was a two time All American at Michigan from '87-'91.
We bantered, we jeered, we cheered, and we were all riled up during that Ride that was THE Game yesterday, but I have to say...
Those four gentlemen that pulled for TTUN were absolutely spectacular. They elevated the experience at an off-site viewing of THE Game that I never would have guessed would've occurred.
Keith was talking with Tripp during THE Game, and handed me the phone. First time in my life that I ever got to talk with someone that actually participated in THE Game.
Sure, Tripp went 3-1 (lone loss during Bruce's Finale), but the respect that he had for the rivalry was amazing.
Just made it special.
Anyway... regardless of the outcome, the seven of us all had a great time enjoying the GREATEST RIVALRY IN ALL OF SPORT.
