Yep, can feel it in the air now.  Pretty soon I am going to be planning out that first Saturday where I will inevitably consume entirely too much alcohol by 7:00 PM for the game to be remotely memorable in even the most basic sense.

But I will eat Ribs.  There Will Be Ribs.

Srry for threadjack, but just had a classic interaction with a douchey OSU alum.  I'm at a nice event with my wife and kids.  Lo and behold, we get seated at a table of 8 with this OSU alum and his wife.  When he learns that we're Michigan grads, he starts going on and on about Harbaugh, and his temper, and how he couldn't beat Meyer, blah, blah, blah, and then he has the audacity to say that Harbaugh is a Buckeye.  What?!  Guess being born in Toledo.....makes you a Buckeye?  Finally had to tell him to stop with the lies.  This guy was so perfectly OSU.....they aspire to be like Michigan, but the converse is not true.  I just pitied him.

Don't forget about Ron Johnson #40. He played RB (HB) from 1966-68. He rushed for 270 yards against Navy in '67. In '68 He was the first African American to be team captain of the Michigan football team. He passed away 11/10/18, RIP!

Ron Johnson was one of the finest running backs in Michigan history. He just doesn't get the publicity he deserves. Went on to a decent NFL career as well.

RIP Ron Johnson!!!
