@Dinger – interesting perspective. You don’t think the national media would recognize Oregon as a good team? I would hope they would, but you’re probably right that Oregon would not get the respect they deserve.

But I still want to beat them.

So the choice here is really between an off season where the national sports writers…

a) Talk about how RichRod has turned things around, got the monkey off Michigan’s back, will probably never lose another game to Ohio State with his magical offensive brilliance, how Tressel is a fool and a dinosaur for playing 1950′s ball in the age of spreaderation and how the entire club is full of choke losing to a Michigan team with significantly less talent, on paper, all the while completely discounting Ohio State’s Rose Bowl victory since it came against a “second tier” PAC-10 team and not USC.

b) Continue to talk about Ohio State being, probably the worst team ever, in any sport, for yet again losing the “big one” while RichRod defends himself against a fan base in revolt and wolvie fans continue to languish during a period of unprecedented Buckeye dominance.

I’ll take option B with a large Coke please.

el Kaiser, I’d tend to agree with sportsmonkey on this.

Although I have a longstanding respect for the Michigan program, going back to Woody-Bo days, we can never beat Michigan often enough nor badly enough to quench my bloodlust.

I’ve always wanted the Wolverines to do well, except when they played the Buckeyes, but the last couple years are different. No carnage would be too great to inflict on the current UM regime.I want for Evil Tressel to step up and deliver an epic ass-kicking tomorrow.

I’m sure that as I continue to add on the years I’ll mellow out a bit more. Life’s too short to cling to such an immature attitude. But still, another year or two, I wallow!

@NMU – Man, with that kind of past, you are more than welcome to hate on, hate-ah.

I used to be a 1-11, beat Michigan and everything else is okay guy. Now, I’m not so sure.

Honestly, I could live with a 1-11 season, so long as that one win was against UofM. But I’m also a bitter, small, petty person filled with rage and hatred from being picked on all through school during the John Cooper era while growing up in Toledo. I shall continue to wallow in schadenfreude.
