I'm almost positive Michigan will win this game, but even if they lose, as long as someone lights up Justin Boren then it will be ok.

OK, sorry but Hitting the holiday happy juice a little early?

No I just know Ohio State is soft. And Michigan is where Champions are born.

 

[Paper Lions]

Harbaugh angered a lot of U of M brass and alums with some of his comments. I don't know if they will go there, but if he keeps winning they might overlook it.

My guess is that it will be overlooked.

Wee bit of pee in OSU lake after 'jump'

Thursday, November 19, 2009 3:27 AM

By Doug Caruso

THE COLUMBUS DISPATCH

During the big Michigan Week jump, Ohio State University's Mirror Lake and a baby pool have a lot in common.

The jump, which will take place tonight, is one of many student traditions. But Ohio State also is a research university, so it was inevitable that someone would apply a little science to this ritual.

Last year, students in the College of Earth Sciences tested the water in Mirror Lake before, during and after thousands plunged in to psych themselves up for The Game.

"Interesting results from last year's study include a lake-wide temperature increase of approximately 3 degrees Fahrenheit during the course of the night and an ammonia spike around 1 in the morning," said Steve Goldsmith, a postdoctoral research associate.

The temperature increase could be chalked up to warm-blooded people standing in a cold lake, Goldsmith said. But, yes, that ammonia spike means exactly what you think it means.

Urine.

"It went from a background of 5.2 parts per million to a peak of about 42 parts per million," Goldsmith said. "So it was an eightfold increase."

Claire Mondro, a senior majoring in geology and English, helped with the research last year and plans to jump in with her friends tonight.

"It's nothing dangerous," she said. "It's just kind of icky."

Then she'll dry off and take water samples around 2 a.m.

The project has grown this year. Goldsmith said the sampling will continue every half-hour into the wee hours of Friday morning, and biology students will test for bacteria and other microbes.

It's a fun project, said Anne Carey, an associate professor of earth sciences who is overseeing the research. But the students take it seriously.

"We treat this as rigorously as any other research study we've done on natural water bodies," she said.

Goldsmith said he doesn't want to stop anyone from jumping in, though he does advise taking a shower afterward.

"Have fun, but don't open your mouth."

Stefanie Spielman, wife of NFL star, dies at 42

The Associated Press

8:20 p.m. Thursday, November 19, 2009

COLUMBUS, Ohio — The wife of former NFL and Ohio State star Chris Spielman has died after a lengthy battle with cancer.

WBNS radio in Columbus, where Chris Spielman co-hosts a show, says 42-year-old Stefanie Spielman died Thursday at the family's home in Upper Arlington.

Stefanie Spielman was 30 years old and three months pregnant in 1998 when she detected a lump in her breast. She later miscarried and discovered she had cancer.

Chris Spielman was playing linebacker with the Buffalo Bills when he decided to give up football for a year to stay home with his wife and children. When his wife lost her hair because of chemotherapy treatments, he shaved his head.

The Spielmans became advocates for breast-cancer detection and research, winning several awards for their dedication to the cause.

Chris Spielman was a standout linebacker at Ohio State and a 10-year NFL veteran. He's currently a college football analyst at ESPN.

I met both of them when I worked at Papa Joe's (a gourmet market) probably around 1991.

A lot of Michigan's best players have come from Ohio and coaches for that matter, but OSU has a pretty big advantage in state recruiting battles in that there isn't another major player like MSU to contend with in Ohio.

Was just coming here to post that. Truly a sad, sad day in Columbus. There is a very nice video tribute to Stefanie on that page.http://www.971thefan.com/live/content/stefanie.html

The Spielman's have always been very open and honest about Stefanie's battle with cancer. I've followed Chris's football career since he played in Massilon and I was scouting him for a rival HS team. He's always been 100% committed to whatever he was doing whether it was football, pimping for his wife's foundation or talking football on the radio. Just an awesome guy and an awesome family. Together they raised upwards of $6.5 million for the fight against cancer. I feel really bad for the family even though they knew this was coming for quite a while.
