maize n blue- hoke n hope- haha- the buckeyes are going to pound you this weekend. AGAIN!!!

Don't feel too bad- I can remember many years ago when blue used to win a game or two. Anyway, it's a great and storied rivalry- too many of which are disappearing. GO BUCKS.


GO PONIES!!!

Listen here Red, Michigan is gonna beat OSU Saturday. POINT BLANK. Michigan still holds a lead in the series too. Something John Cooper helped tremendously not all that long ago. And I betcha, some place up yonder that Bo and Woody aren't talking this week, best friends or not. Matter of fact up there I bet they are getting ready to send teams onto the green green grass in the cold November air against each other.

hahaha- both Bo and Woody were from my mother's alma mater - little school called Miami (O).
As a youngster I hated Woody then a prominent alum took me to his house and I met he and his wife. She could have sold refrigerators to Eskimos. I then became a Woody fan.
Sorry but I think the Bucs will win this one. And many more to come if UM is the new coach.
Hoke may be smart but don't think he can recruit and coach as well as UM. JMHO.

GO PONIES!!!

Woody Hayes... Lord do I respect him. Bo did so I do too. Bo worked for Woody and patterned his teams after his mentors teams. Miami (Oh) up where I grew up we call it the cradle of coaches. You do know that Lloyd Carr (one of Bo's boys) beat Urban Meyer with Tebow, right.... Bo couldn't recruit or coach as well as Woody either or so they said. This rivalry is about to go nuclear. Even more proof that god exists and loves us IMO. Ythe only thing about this Saturday is, for the first time since 97, they are the underdog with a chance to ruin OUR season. They failed that time too.

I've said it before here, but my Grandpa (the one from the overwhelmingly Michigan Family ie all his brothers and sister went there he went to work to take care of his mom) Hated Bo Schembechler. I don't think he ever forgave Bo for being from ohio.

Yea- I know all about the cradle of coaches. I was offered a scholly at Miami when I was a jr. Met and knew both Ara and Johnny Pont as well as the AD. I am probably one of the few that still admires Woody. Sad that he kind of 'lost it' in his last few years. Did you know that he spent a fortune having the old chinese books of war translated? He used to study them and try to apply them to fball.
Hope you aren't too sad after you lose this w.e. Spent many freezing days in Ann Arbor and Columbus watching those games. Go Bucs.

GO PONIES!!!

They play the game for a reason. GO BLUE!!!!

Sparty fight song == very under rated

Maize,
Honestly, I think Michigan/Ohio St. Is one of, if not the best rivalry in college football. I would love to go to that game one day.

Personally I only dislike Sparty about 3 weeks a year. They hate that but the fact of the matter is they are a University and a team in my home state. Those kids made that video for a member of the Michigan Marching band that went home to god as a sophomore in college. EXTREMELY moving! I hope they don't get screwed out of a BCS bowl due to a team they beat, even if it was my team. Otherwise I want them to go to the Rose Bowl, but that's up to them. We beat the Huskers for them.
