The Ohio State University's supporters will never let Michigan forget it if the Ohio Bobcats get an upset.  I actually wonder about the future of Brady Hoke's "Ohio" meme if we lose the basketball game.  Would he continue to do it?  Probably, I suppose.  Would Brandon?  Would Beilein?

Beating Ohio U. becomes a real imperative.  A pressure game, against a good team, on what is hardly a neutral court -- it will be a virtual home court atmosphere for the Bobcats.

[Ed.- Sorry, I momentarily thought our regional action was in Columbus.  Silly me, thinking Columbus was in the Midwest when of course it is a well-known part of the West.]

This game gives me an awfully bad feeling.  I remember Loyola-Marymount.

I have been a Michigan fan since I can remember and was mocked because I grew up in Ohio, but I went to OU for my 4 year degree and love the place as if its my second home

As a former student of both u of m and ohio university I have no problem rooting for michigan. If they managed to play uva I'd have all my schooling covered.

Charlottesville and Ann Arbor have their similarities... If you enjoy the outdoors there is a ton to do here. Also there is a great music scene. There are different neighborhoods depending on what you want. What are you looking for? We are technically in the South so that is a major difference. Any specific questions?

Now even more people know about U-M's juvenile, arrogant behavior in referring to OSU as "Ohio" when, in fact, there is an Ohio University. And it goes all the way to the top. Beautiful.

Obviously, when Hoke got us all to start saying 'Ohio,' it was b/c he knew this would happen down the road. There are no limits to the man's wisdom...

(Oh, and also gotta love the committee's sense of humor sending Sparty to Columbus.)
