ran a search, but couldn't find a post that had all these quotes in it from THE post-GAME.

Michigan Head Coach Lloyd Carr

On the game ... "We had some big third-down drops. We had a big play at the end of the half that if we could have completed a pass down inside the 35-yard line we would have had a chance to kick a field goal and make it 7-6, which really changes the game. Even if they get a touchdown in the third quarter, we're one score back. We just never really sustained anything."

On the health of Chad Henne ... "You could tell in warmups he was not throwing the ball like he was two weeks ago. Of course he had a problem last week. He said he felt good. We had a deep pass to Mario (Manningham) in the second half early where Mario had them beat, but the ball was a little underthrown because I just don't think he had enough on it. He tried. He took some punches out there. I don't think there's any question that he or Mike Hart were where they have been. That's all part of the game; credit Ohio State."

On characterizing the season ... "I think it's impossible to be totally accurate at this stage because this is really disappointing. We had an opportunity to really do something special here for us -- winning this game and everything that goes with it. When you fail to do that, the disappointment is very difficult. I won't even begin to answer your question. I wouldn't know how."

U-M Senior Running Back Mike Hart

On the offense ... "We didn't think we were going to be this bad off. We made a lot of mistakes out there. Give credit to the (Ohio State) defense. They came up with a great game and had a good scheme against us. The defense did a great job."

On explaining the game ... "When we watch the film everything is going to be right there. We made too many missed assignments, too many dropped balls, missed blocks, bad cuts. Whatever you want to call it, we just didn't put it together as an offense today. When you don't do that, you aren't going to win games."

On injuries ... "I was fine today. I was good enough to play and it definitely wasn't a problem. Chad (Henne) was out there throwing the ball fine so it's definitely not the reason why we lost today."

U-M Senior Linebacker Chris Graham

On the game ... "It's not the way you want to end things with that outcome. They played hard today and we played hard against them. We gave them our best shots. They had a good run and caught us with a different adjustment, but they played well. Hats off to them today. I can't hold my head down, because I did all that I could do."

On the Chris Wells touchdown run ... "Yeah, they had that one big play, but Coach (English) made some adjustments and we went in there and fought hard. This is a game you want to give your all to. They kept giving a couple pops here and there, and we did our best to adjust to it and stop the run to try to get a three-and-out."

U-M Senior Safety Jamar Adams

On the defense ... "We didn't play good enough. We gave up too many points; 14 was too much. We had to hold them to zero in this game and we didn't get the job done."

On the hype affecting the game ... "It had no effect on this game. We just focused on the game and were ready to go."

On playing in his last home game as a senior ... "You lose your last one for the championship in the Big House. It's a hard thing to deal with."


Ohio State Head Coach Jim Tressel

On the rushing game ... "Our defense was not going to let them control the game with the run, and we did a pretty good job of moving the chains a little bit. I wish we would've scored a little more, wish we would've been a little more consistent. We did what we needed to do, and 14 points was enough to win the Big Ten."

On winning four in a row against Michigan ... "Its special for our kids. I mean, we've had wonderful kids and they work so hard at it. This game means so much to them, and for them to be able to accomplish that is special for every kid that is a part of any one of those four. It means it must be very difficult to win five, because I don't know if anyone's ever done that."

On running back Chris Wells' performance ... "Beanie Wells is a difference maker -- he's physical, he's a fiery guy. You could tell in the locker room before the game that he wanted to put the team on his shoulders and go with it. He's the best. He's the best back in the Big Ten in my opinion and we vote tomorrow (for all-conference) all of you."

On defensive end Vernon Golhston ... "Vernon Golhston is a special guy and this is an important game for him coming back home here to play, and I'm sure (Chad) Henne will see him in his sleep. He's a great football player, and our whole defense put a lot of pressure and that's the difference in the game."

On winning the Big Ten championship on the road ... "You know, that's special to be able to win the outright Big Ten championship two years in a row, and three years in row being a part of it. We're the first ones to do that since Penn State joined the league so I'm pretty proud of those guys for, you know, being able to do that away from home after a tough loss a week ago, to show the character these kids have."

OSU Senior Defensive Lineman Vernon Gholston

On winning consecutive Big Ten championships ... "It's big. With a team like Michigan, winning four years in a row is big. Not too many teams have done it. Stuff like this doesn't happen too often."

OSU Junior Linebacker James Laurinaitis

On whether OSU smelled victory when Michigan couldn't get anything going offensively ... "The emotion was high on our bench, but we just kept saying 'calm down and play the next play' because the next play is the most important."

On what their approach was in terms of stopping Mike Hart ... "We just said let's get back to the basics and do our job. That's the thing we need to focus on: doing your job and not doing anything out of the ordinary."

On how much they thought Chad Henne was limited in throwing ... "I didn't really notice him being limited. We were all so focused on doing our jobs that you don't notice little things like that. We just had a lot of pressure on the quarterback."

On Vernon Gholston's performance ... "He's a great guy and player. He's obviously very talented, but it's his work ethic that's incredible. He hits the weight room after we've had a three-hour practice and spends hours in the tape room. That's the reason he's a tremendous player."

The good:
OSU domination victory.
The tailgating and delicious food prepared by some very hospitable Michigan fans.
My 11th Row seats.

The bad:
The weather, it was pretty damn miserable.
Chad Henne....just wow. (Throw in Manningham and the Michigan O line)

The ugly:
The Michigan fan who spit on my face. If that was you, you know who I am, because I was the one who took your ass down.

You can say anything you want to me. I had people get in my face and yell "FUCK YOU!", and I may think you're an immature asshole, but I can handle it. However, spitting on me will get your ass kicked, and by the look on your face, you didn't think I would do anything about it.

Saturday Observations: OSU the Victors

Ohio State sophomore RB Chris Wells broke a 62-yard touchdown run in the third quarter.

An 11-1 record and a trip to the Rose Bowl? Not bad for a supposed ?rebuilding? season.

Ohio State?s fourth straight victory over archrival Michigan clinched the program?s third straight Big Ten title, further solidifying coach Jim Tressel?s recent superiority over both Lloyd Carr?s Wolverines and the conference in general.

so, East, you kicked the dickwad's ass? Nice, I would have done the same.

I never threw a punch, because 2 Ohio State fans pulled me off him, not knowing what had happened. However, he did get a face full of pavement when I ran back and tackled his ass and then pinned him down.

Now, perhaps unfortunately, I didn't have the same self restraint that the Ohio State fans showed at Penn State. It's not really something I'm too proud of, but at the same time, it does bring me a smile to my face when that student realized he'd fucked up and had the fear of god on his face.

East,

I agree 100%, you can say whatever you want to me and I will chock it up to you not being able to handle your 6 pack of Natty Light. But spitting at or on anyone should get you an ass kicking to last a lifetime. He is lucky the other two Buckeyes that pulled you off didn't know what happened because speaking for myself if it was me and you told me what happened the idiot would have had two Buckeyes turning his ass into a punching bag.

A big loss

University of Michigan students Herman Sidhu, left, Ashish Chaddha, center, and Kevin Murar, walk quietly from the stadium after the loss to Ohio State.

BY DAVE GERSHMAN AND TOM GANTERT
The Ann Arbor News

After watching the Michigan football team lose, yet again, to Ohio State, Kevin Murar was almost at a loss for words.

"It was the most boring game I've ever seen here," said the University of Michigan student from Rochester Hills.

Michigan's 14-3 loss to Ohio State on Saturday left Wolverine fans in a somber and subdued mood. The thousands of fans left in such silence that on some streets surrounding the stadium the only sounds were car radios and boisterous Ohio State fans a block away.

...

"It got so bad, I couldn't even watch it," said Brendan Kirchner, a U-M student from Waterford, who walked out of Michigan Stadium before the game had ended.

The game is sure to reignite debate among fans about the future of Michigan coach Lloyd Carr. "The feeling around campus was if we lose today, then he's gone," said Kirchner.

cont'd...

this is truly the gift that keeps giving...

such diehard fans these-uns, tripping over themselves to make ol' Bo proud in so many ways... sheesh!

It may be heartless but I will never get tired of seeing scUM fans crying in the stands when ABC throws the camera on the crowd. Got to see it thanks to App. State, and I got to see it again yesterday.
