I have to vent about something.  It is not worth starting a new thread, but seeing the OSU B10 Championship ring makes it topical.

How could anybody even consider selling a B10 Championship ring?  (Even one with an ugly ass O in the middle).  There are players that work their asses off day in and day out for the shot to even compete for such a prized possession.  And to actually attain one - as the starting QB, no less - for anyone with a drop of school pride, must be the greatest feeling. 

That TP could sell something like that really shows the lack of school spirit that he has.  Talk about a guy who is just using college as a path the the NFL.  And look, there is nothing wrong with having strong NFL aspirations.  Most players at the D1 level do.  There is even nothing wrong with picking your college with a goal of maximizing your chances of making the NFL.  This is just being smart.  But, once you go to the school and while you are there, how could you not have pride in your school, your team and your team's accomplishments. Hell, we all hate OSU, but it is still a team with a vastly rich football history.  Their players are as passionate about OSU as ours are about Michigan. 

This just sickens me, and speaks to the type of person that TP is.  If I were one of his teammates, and he sold that ring, I would take it as a personal offense to the team.

Beating Michigan and winning the Big 10 has become so devalued that the OSU players themselves are not even interested, much less the OSU fans caught yawning and leaving during the 4th quarter of the Ohio State-Michigan game.

It is time for Michigan to step up and retake rightfull possesion of the Ohio State-Michigan game and the Big 10 championsip.

These classless interlopers must go.  Order must be restored.
