Rooting for OSU against Nebraska and MSU is the effect of being in separate divisions. It's painful. I hate that the Big Ten has diminished the rivalry while upping the MSU and creating the Nebraska rivalry.

Michigan will have to beat these teams anyway if they want to win the division and conference. I will always root against OSU.

And Braxton Miller sucking makes it even more bitter sweet. I love seeing him look like an idiot and stop short of the boundaries to get cracked, but I want MSU to lose and because he sucks, I'm not sure OSU can put up even a TD.
Practice makes perfect. Unless you're the Buckeyes. Then you have to cheat.

You don't have to root for tsio. You can root for MSU to lose. It's not really the same thing, if you think about it carefully.
October 1st, 2011 at 4:18 PM |
I was thinking...
I was thinking...
I was thinking about who I should root for in this one and I was thinking OSU for most of the week. Then I decided I couldn't do it. I figure I only need to root for Michigan to win the conference and not teams in our division to lose it. I'm hoping they both look terrible on the way to an OSU loss. OSU looks pretty one-dimensional and not impressive at all.
I can only continue to reference the fact that I live in an onion factory.

definitely
definitely
But OT: Devastated may be what you meant, its a stupid pet peeve of mine. Decimated is to be reduced by 1/10th and historically was a self inflicted penalty by the Romans against their own legions to discourage cowardice while still leaving them 90% intact. If Dantonio suspended 5-10 players as a punishment for infractions then the team would be decimated.

Rooting? I don't even like
Rooting? I don't even like
Rooting? I don't even like watching this game. The offenses suck, and NOT because of the D's. State's uniforms are hideous, while the picture is so bad that ohio's scarlet looks like an even more hideous pink. The only thing more bland and colorless than the weather is the stadium, except for the truck drivers sitting in it. Hell, even the cheerleaders look like chewing gum on a sidewalk.

Never, ever, ever root for OSU!

I'm sorry but if it somehow resulted in Michigan going to the Rose Bowl, Bo absolutely would root for OSU. Bo was all about what was best for the team. Only guys like Dantonio root against their rival in spite of his own team.

That would be my status for the OSU-MSU game. Realizing that an MSU loss helps us, but at the same time, being unable to bring myself to support the Buckeyes lest the MGoGods strike me down and put my alumni association card in the MGoShredder.
