Game Thread THE GAME: Ohio State 42, Michigan 7 (Nov. 22)

[JimsSweaterVest]

I just got back from the game. Like I said in the Boeckman thread I am the hoarsest SweaterVest in Buckeye Nation. I am so so proud of all our players, and so proud of all our seniors. As tacky as it sounds, I had a tear in my eye as I was leaving.

I thought the officials did an excellent job of letting both teams play today. I wish officials were like this for every game.

Yeah i thought it was a really good job done by the officials today. They understood the circumstances and let the kids show their emotions.

Way to go TP and crew, way to send the Seniors out with a win over scUM. Way to go to the Seniors, teaching the youngsters how to take it to scUM. Way to go JT and staff in continuing one of the best runs against scUM in the history of the series.

Great game and an even better send off for our seniors. Always makes me happy when guys like Nick Patterson, Jon Thoma and Marcus Williams get in there and make plays. And the hit by Spitler on McGuffie was heard here in Pennsylvania.

The Bucks need Oregon St. to drop one of their final two games otherwise they win the Pac10 Rose Bowl bid. If oOSU wins out they would be tied with USC at 7-1 in the conference but holds the head-to-head tiebreaker. USC (barring they win out) will then get an at-large bid and most likely knock Ohio State to the Outback Bowl.

BTW.....nothing tacky about a tear in the eye....has happened to me three times with OSU....Once when as a boy, Oklahoma beat us with the "ewee' kicker....once in a rose bowl and then in 2002!

A Thankful Dad

Sorry so sappy...

One year ago today, we were flying back from Ethiopia with our newly adopted daughter. On the flight from LA to New York on the way over, I was blessed by watching Michigan collapse against Wisconsin, and then cursed to watch the Buckeyes do the same against the Fighting Zooks (and the refs).

Taking off from Addas Ababa late in the night, we knew that we wouldn't hear about The Game until it was over. The first thing I did after clearing customs was to find a paper and read excitedly about the 14-3 victory and Beanie's great day. It was great to share that with Mihret.

​

My dad had The Game on the DVR, and I thought that watching it while she slept on my chest was just about the greatest thing ever.

Until today.

Watching "running... tackle" (as she calls it) with my daughter, having her spell out O!H!I!O! after big plays, hearing her say "Beanie", and getting to jump up and down with her when the Bucks score... it doesn't get much better than that.

So, thank you Seniors. Thank you Beanie. Thank you Buckeyes. Thank you Jim Tressel.

You not only made this great morning possible for a dad stuck in California, you've made it so my daughter only knows a world where THE Ohio State University beats Michigan.

my daughter ran around the house giving my dad, my brother, and i knuckle bumps after every score, it was great!
