Time to finish the Battle of Toledo

That 2016 game was the biggest reffing travesty of injustice in football history.  We will by 17 with fair refs.  We still win with really bad refs.

What makes you think Canada would want it?

Why the f*ck would we want it?

Michigan and Ohio fought a “war”, and Wisconsin lost (the western half of theUP). The Michigan territory already had the Eastern half.

ohio was one of the largest congressional delegations shortly after its statehood.  They had a lot of power; thus, they were able to game the system.  Some things never change; stay classy Ohio. 

That would be a difficult decision; the precedent for a man choosing loyalty to his state over the union is Robert E. Lee, and no matter how honorable of a man he was he joined an evil cause. The invasion of Ohio would be a better cause, but I'm not sure I can follow that precedent.

If I did, however, I'd want strategy input. A rash, early declaration of war would be disastrous, as would an unrealistic objective.

The only way to wage a successful war on Ohio would be via a massive sneak attack. Use Michigan's position on the Great Lakes to quickly and quietly annex most of the ships, load soldiers, transit them to Lake Erie, and invade the entire Ohio northern shore before they realize what is happening. The goal here is to stun Ohio with rapid but modest gains, capturing most of the north shore with an emphasis on holding all of Cleveland. A stretch goal would be holding Toledo (there will be a raid, but it's mostly to capture their entire stock of Jeeps), but that's actually less important if our sea lines of communication remain open, which they will if we hold the rest of the shore.

Upon success, there will be an immediate move on Akron (whose strategic significance--tires for the vehicles Detroit is pumping out for the war effort--will not be lost on the Ohio general staff). At least three divisions will appear to march in this direction, but it's a feint--when Ohio moves the bulk of its force northeast to intercept this attack, our divisions carefully dispersed in the western Detroit suburbs will emerge across the Michigan-Ohio border, bypass Toledo, and sweep on a large arc southeast across the empty plains toward a now-undefended Columbus. 

The Ohio forces, drawn north of Akron by pursuing what is a planned retreat to the coast, will be caught totally out of position, and by the time they are able to re-organize and return to Columbus, Michigan's forces will already be there. The government will flee to Cincinnatti, residents will be given 36 hours to evacuate, the block M flag will be flown above Ohio Stadium... and then the entire city will be razed to the ground.

At this point, holding their capital, their sea access (Toledo, now cut off, will fall quickly), and most of their industrial base, we will graciously allow them to to sue for peace. The conditions will be simple: We get to keep Cedar Point, we take Toledo (this is revanchist, after all), and we generously return Cleveland. Our forces cede all of the land back up to the pre-Toledo war border. Urban Meyer is forbidden from coaching again, and the ground underneath the former city of Columbus is salted and is to remain uninhabited forever.

Oh, and what used to be Ohio State University moves to Athens. They always talk about wanting to be just "Ohio" anyway.
