First I'd like to say to all the Buckeye fans, congratulations on your well deserved win. The hardest part about the end result is knowing that I will hear nothing but gloating from Ohio State fans. This will be the third year in a row I have had to endure an Ohio State victory over Michigan, and each loss stings more than the previous one.
I would also like to say Michigan shouldn't play OSU again in the National Championship purely on the basis that if you don't win your conference you shouldn't be given a chance to play in the National Championship. USC appears right now to be a deserving opponent if they can beat Notre Dame with some style points.
But I just want to remind all you Bucks fans that you won't be on top of Michigan forever. These are your glory years. We had our glory during the Coop era and soon, we'll be back on top again. Lloyd Carr's record against Jim Tressel is soon becoming Cooper-like at 1-5.
As far as the game went, Ohio State played at home and barely edged out Michigan. If the game was played in Ann Arbor, I think the result might've been different. Neither of the opposing defenses were impressive at all. Crable also made a costly mistake that would've stifled OSU's offense and given Michigan an opportunity to win the game. But those are the breaks. In the end, OSU made more opportunities for themselves than Michigan did. So congratulations.
