Who else hates having to root for OSU in this game?

Submitted by cp4three2 on

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.

We are Michigan.  We control our own destiny.  We have no business losing to michigan state on any given year anyways and don't deserve a big ten title if we do.   We don't sit there waiting for someone else to pave the way for us.  We don't need things to be easy for us.  If we are the leaders and the best, bring on the best of the contenders and we'll put up or shut up. 

No excuses, we are michigan.  Rooting for either of these teams makes me physically ill.  If anything, I'm rooting more for Michigan State on this one because their tears are so much sweeter when they lose to us when undefeated, and this way the hometown crowd's tears would be captured on national TV.

Only reason i root for OSU is because of Verlon Reed. Good friend of mine back when he was in high school. Really helped me with my track start and stuff during my freshman year when he was a senior.

This is a perfect game, its ugly as hell, nobody accept BJ CUNNINGHAM looks good. I can actually see Brionte Dunn packing his bags right now and getting in the car headed to AA. You know Kalis and company have to be in his ear on a day when we rush the ball for a million yards and tsio looks awful.

Fickell cannot manage a game for anything. Dunn will be at Michigan either because he is so drastically unimpressed by Fickell or because and more likely, Fickell is fired after a loss to MICH Thanksgiving weekend.

rooting for sparty because the osu dominance must end on all fronts.  and further, sparty will never be dominant.  just feisty for a few years, then back to crap

...I dislike TSIO more than I dislike LIttle Brother.  I would be happy if TSIO lost every game they ever played, period.  Let Little Brother win this one.  Michigan will have the opportunity to take care of business when the two play later.

I am NOT rooting for OSU, I'd rather let the chips fall where they may. I still feel bad I rooted for them in the Championship game against Miami, it was all about the Big Ten, I tell myself...

These are indeed putrid teams. We should def win bith games (barring an injury bug).
<br>
<br>Isnt it like IIRC the last 18 of 20 UM-Sparty games or so that the team that rushed for more yards won the game. We are going to at least double their rushing yards. They have a stout D line but we have Denard and Co. They have no O line and we have a pretty good one right now. If history holds then we win.
<br>
<br>And tSIO would struggle to beat Minnie. Nuff said there. (I might slightly exaggerate but well I am not worried about tSIO right now.)

Little brother looks like they have a pretty good D, and Ohio has no O.  

The last two games Ohio has played are the worst they have looked in years.

This game is so ugly.  I am worried it may break my TV.

It will be interesting to see if TSIO gets better once the ineligible, I mean, suspended, players come back.

Does OSU have an offensive line?

Watching Bauserman chuck wounded ducks 30 yards downfield to no one and make futile attempts to roll out of the pocket before getting sacked is the funniest thing I've seen all week.

let's not forget, OSU is missing it's top 4 offensive starters from a year ago, 3 of whom return next week.

 

State is a solid team with no OL (causing their experienced QB to get happy feet and make bad decisions at times) and a godd defense.
