I personally live in Columbus, but am a Michigan fan and I don't think the campuses are close. OSU is crowded, huge, noisy, constant construction, almost overspaced. The few great times i've been able to come up to AA i get a completly different vibe. More of a small town with a tremendous passion for their team. Oh and academically they aren't close.

I'm a huge supporter of Hoke, especially because of his recruiting and what seems like a person who has a tremendous passion for Michigan. It's hard to disagree however with the point that to me his teams so far just haven't had the mental toughness to win close game, and that isn't acceptable. Our defense is suppose to be the strength of this team, at least it sure seems that way now, and it's normally a decent bend but not break type of defense. Every single time the game becomes tight or it's a big moment, we break like cardboard, and it's always a mental mistake. Also this week i've tried to be an optimist because we're a different team and anything can happen in one game, but i find it hard to see a W being possible saturday. We already make more mistakes against Ohio than anyother team and add that on to the huge amount of mistakes we already make.....trouble
