Michigan-Ohio State at high noon(EST).
Doesn’t get much better as a college football fan, especially when your daughter attends one of the schools - Go Blue!
Wearing my Arizona shirt with a Michigan hat so I will be having 6-7 hours of nerve wracking viewing coming up.
Watching Big Noon kickoff on Fox because my daughter is on (in the background like they do on ESPN game day) as a part of the Michigan dance team. Btw, Leinert did a nice farewell Pac 12 segment.
Go Blue & Go Cats!!!
The Game

Re: The Game
Ryan Day in almost in a no win situation. Expected to win as an underdog simply because Harbaugh is not on the sideline. Fans don’t cut him any slack for losing to Michigan.
Always like this game but watching B1G football has really become boring. Their offenses are sooooo bad

Re: The Game
I grew up in Michigan. There was no bigger sporting event in the two states than the UM/OSU game. Bo v. Woody. 3 yards and a cloud of dust.
Back then it was the Rose Bowl or nothing. You could go 10-1 and still sit home on New Years Day.
The Rose Bowl itself never really mattered after that. the PAC-8 had a home field advantage and used trickery such as the forward pass.

Re: The Game
The wife and I wanted to go to this game but tickets were going for no lower than a $1,000 a piece.
Just nuts.

Re: The Game
From my childhood in Toledo - "halfway" (more or less) between Ann Arbor and Columbus - never a close call who I rooted for.

Re: The Game
Growing up in NY, college football wasn’t a big thing. I guess Army/Navy was a thing, but there were no dominant teams in the region to root for (Boston College and Syracuse were meh and never on TV).
The Fab 5 got me interested in Michigan basketball, and so I started rooting for them in football too. Still do. Go Blue!

Of the 12 coaches, Rush picked the one whose fans have the deepest passion, the longest memories, the greatest lung capacity and … did I mention deep passion?
Re: The Game
They did a fly over that looked a lot like the offenses in the B1G. I think it was a passenger plane

Re: The Game
That Michigan punter is outstanding. He booted a 70 yard punt, and just punted a long punt inside the 5. This is Ray Guy good.

WTF is this "World Famous Buckeyes" bullshit???

I'm rooting for tOSU, and even I rolled my eyes at that crap.

Re: The Game
Catholics vs Convicts should have told you ND is not as Catholic as everyone thinks.
But back to The Game, Michigan flexed its muscle when needed and made the bigger plays.
And I’m still convinced tOSU was behind this sign stealing discovery. As they say, snitches get stitches.
