***Official OHIO STATE-MICHIGAN Thread*** (2 Viewers)

[Kal El]

Believe me when I say that I am not a homer, but I am an eternal optimist. Besides that, I have run into far too many Ohio State fans over the years, and if you think I'm a whiny tool, ignore me. Others do, and we both are the happier for it. Meanwhile, I'll still support Michigan and my alma mater, Liberty, and let people know that I am.

Being an optimist has nothing to do with the statements I referred too. They were simply statements that were either flat out wrong or just ****-ish. So yes, they reek of homerism despite your statement to the contrary. p.s. My daughter is a Liberty grad.

What year?Still, I'm not a blind homer. In fact, I dislike them as much as you do. But with this Michigan team, and which has been shown in the past, anything can happen. Michigan might pull off an upset next week, or they might get destroyed. I'm inclined to think the latter, but I thought they'd get destroyed by Florida on New Years this past year, and they scraped by with a win. The NFL has any given Sunday, NCAA has any given Saturday.

2005, but she had to do summer school so didn't walk the stage.And absolutely, UM could win the game. We've seen it all in that series. Not arguing that point one bit!

No chance Graham comes back. What are the rest going to do? Go to the CFL? Arena?

WOTS is that Graham is staying.

Mark me down for the Wolverines getting smashed. This will be an ugly stamp to an ugly year. Pryor is going to make us all remember why we wanted to desperately get him in maize and blue.

Saw an opening line of Ohio State - 24.

Can't recall a line in this series ever that high.

I am flying into Columbus with my son the day after this game. Hope it is a happy place.

Let's go MSU - give us some love. You know you want to help us out, Dantonio, after we gave you a great start. :(

I finished summer 2007, but I wish I lived close enough to go to the games as an alumnus. They're more fun than just on TV, and anything is more fun that having to follow the stat lines on the internet.

I'm seeing -20 right now. A UM win would pointspread wise be a bigger upset than Toledo over Michigan.

MSU would love to help, but you've already seen what happens when the Spartans take on the best of the Big Ten.MSU isn't as good as its record. Won a couple games they shouldn't have against Iowa and Wisconsin. After years of losing games they should've won, I'll take it, but a win at PSU is a longshot at best.

 

[Mad Cow]

Well I am also cheeringfor my undergrad alum BYU to knock out that sham of a Utah team. Living out here, you can see how poor of a #7 team they are. It is ridiculous.

The fact that Michigan was favored by less than 20 against Toledo is just another testament of just how much Michigan has sucked this year.

Ohio State win would move OSU ahead of Michigan in all-time Big Ten standings

Cleveland Plain Dealer

Tuesday November 18, 2008

There is more on the line Saturday for Ohio State than a share of the 2008 Big Ten football title.

A victory over Michigan would move the Buckeyes into first place in the all-time Big Ten football standings.

Michigan enters Saturday's game with a slight advantage in winning percentage (72.4 percent to 72.2 percent) all-time. A Buckeye victory would move Ohio State in front (72.283 percent to 72.282 percent).

Michigan, which has been in the league longer, has more wins, 463-446.

Michigan won 15 of the first 28 league titles from 1896 through 1933, though the school withdrew from the league in 1907. The conference has been known as the Big Ten since Michigan's return in 1917.

Ohio State joined the league in 1912 and began playing league games a year later.

In modern times, Ohio State has been the dominant team since each of the last two changes in league membership. The Buckeyes have compiled the best records since Michigan State joined the league in 1953 to replace Chicago (which left after the 1939 season), and since Penn State's entry expanded the Big Ten to 11 teams in 1993.

Penn State, meanwhile, hasn't been able to keep up with Michigan and Ohio State, winning 62 percent of its Big Ten games through last weekend. During the same time period, Ohio State has won 78 percent and Michigan 73 percent.

While I'd be STUNNED to see UM beat OSU (heck, I'll be shocked if they lose by less than 2 TDs)... I do have to say that every player wearing maize and blue on that field will know that winning that single game would essentially erase their entire miserable season, and that makes them at least a 'little' dangerous.

I would be shocked as well, but not totally surprised either.. I've been around long enough to see that anything can happen in these games (and usually do). It never matters what the records are going into this game.

I've been talking myself into being nervous about this game since Saturday. While Ohio State should win, I can think of five good reasons Michigan could pull this one out.
Chad Henne has graduated.
OSU will be scoreboard-watching. They know a Penn State loss could send them to the Rose Bowl, so it's inevitable that some of their focus will be on Michigan State, not Michigan. Teams in this situation generally do not fare well.
No one on this team has ever lost to Michigan.* Even the fifth-year seniors have not seen a loss during their tenure. This, combined with the previous item, could make it possible (if not likely) for an Ohio State team to somehow come in looking past Michigan. Yikes.
Chad Henne has graduated. Seriously, if you're trying to hold a three-point lead with two minutes to play, is there anyone you'd rather see lining up across from you? I think not.
Michigan has the talent to beat OSU, but their record doesn't show it. Sure, their quarterbacks are the suck, and Rodriguez has them playing a system they're not really suited for... but still, they ain't The Citadel. They're the ### #### Michigan Wolverines.

That's cool. I thought you were doing it as satire from all the other similar type posts that come up in the UM vs OSU thread year after year. My bad. I misinterpreted. I didn't realize UM had played so many more games in the B10 than OSU had either. Learn something new every day.

I've never said others don't care about this. I think it's an interesting bit of trivia, but that's about it. I rank it right up there with UM having the most wins out of any CFB program in the country....though I am not sure that is still the case after this trainwreck of a season.

I've never said others don't care about this. I think it's an interesting bit of trivia, but that's about it. I rank it right up there with UM having the most wins out of any CFB program in the country....though I am not sure that is still the case after this trainwreck of a season.

That's exactly the way we feel about it. Your reaction made it seem like WG started a whole new topic and indicated that it should be plastered all over the locker room this week. Even in his post he just says that he "didn't know this". You're just trying too hard to "not care".

As I said above, I misinterpreted his post. I thought it was originally satirical for some of the other things we've seen in OSU vs UM threads of the past. That's why I I thought he was being funny. Then when he was confused and Bobcat chimed in, I figured I missed something, so I asked if it was something they really cared about. WG clarified himself, Bobcat made some Cooper comment and made known once again that he hates UM and here we are I don't think I commented on the stat one way or the other until after you made your comment.

Ohio State win would move OSU ahead of Michigan in all-time Big Ten standings

Cleveland Plain Dealer

Tuesday November 18, 2008

There is more on the line Saturday for Ohio State than a share of the 2008 Big Ten football title.

A victory over Michigan would move the Buckeyes into first place in the all-time Big Ten football standings.

Michigan enters Saturday's game with a slight advantage in winning percentage (72.4 percent to 72.2 percent) all-time. A Buckeye victory would move Ohio State in front (72.283 percent to 72.282 percent).

Michigan, which has been in the league longer, has more wins, 463-446.

Michigan won 15 of the first 28 league titles from 1896 through 1933, though the school withdrew from the league in 1907. The conference has been known as the Big Ten since Michigan's return in 1917.

Ohio State joined the league in 1912 and began playing league games a year later.

In modern times, Ohio State has been the dominant team since each of the last two changes in league membership. The Buckeyes have compiled the best records since Michigan State joined the league in 1953 to replace Chicago (which left after the 1939 season), and since Penn State's entry expanded the Big Ten to 11 teams in 1993.

Penn State, meanwhile, hasn't been able to keep up with Michigan and Ohio State, winning 62 percent of its Big Ten games through last weekend. During the same time period, Ohio State has won 78 percent and Michigan 73 percent.

Usually you get that after posting some stupid opinion, not facts. I guess those are stupid facts.

Same question to you. Is it a really meaningful "fact"?? Will you be bummed if you drop below UM if they somehow pull one out of their butts and go back on top? I found it funny...nothing more, nothing less.

Yes, we realize that you, and all other UM fans, are above caring about such useless and meaningless statistics. We get it. Thanks.

When they're winning, they care and will brag about how much Michigan has won. When they're losing, then they're above caring, and will mock other football fans for caring.

It's a Michigan thing.

And God forbid anyone forget that Michigan dominated and racked up a ton of wins back when our great grandfathers were in college and the Ivy league was still a premier NCAA conference. That trumps the fact that Michigan has accomplished nothing but 1/2 of a National Championship in the past 60 years.

Except when they're rolling Cooper every year or something like that.

I will give you $100 for every post of mine where I am bragging about beating up on Cooper. GO!!

I was not singling you out. You know better.

Your post was in response to BigJ's that included "me and all other UM fans". That's why I took it that way and offered up the challenge No biggie

I certainly hope it works, because punching the Buckeyes in the mouth with an upset would take the bitter taste of this season away slightly. Will it happen? I doubt it, but I didn't think Michigan would beat Florida last New year's, so we'll see what happens. I do have to work during the game, so that's a bit of a bummer.
