X Week

Horrible pass by McCord.

 

Big 10 refs not giving Ohio State much respect.

 

Buckeyes respond and quickly. 14-10. They absolutely needed that drive.

 

14-10. Buckeyes offense rolled on that drive.

 

An area of concern for M is not being able to run effectively so far.

 

Total offense O 193 M 113 at half. Definitely felt Ohio was the better team in the 1H but McCord’s early pick put Ohio in a deep hole.

 

I think the Buckeyes took being called soft personally. 8 straight runs down our throat for the TD.

 

Momentum is all on Michigan’s side now.

 

MHJ just said not so fast my friend.

 

1 more first down and it’s game over.

 

Whew……

 

This was a big game that lived up to it's hype. Congrats Bobda.

 

A heavyweight slugfest between two outstanding teams.

 

Congratulations Bobda, the Wolverines played their game to perfection and certainly deserved the victory.
Maybe next year?

 

Guess it will be a long offseason for Day.

 

Hey the A&M job is open! His name has been tossed around in the media.

 

There's a rumor that Day is going to consult Lou Holtz, who was 5-3-1 vs. Michigan, to see how he can improve OSU's performance vs. the Team Up North. (Couldn't resist. Complete respect for how both teams played.)

 

Michigan now has 1001 wins after Saturday’s game.

 

Just watched it for the first time yesterday, great game. Two very evenly matched teams, the one that made the fewest mistakes prevailed. Congrats to Bobda. I thought we had all the momentum and were on the verge of taking control until Zinter went down and Corum took it the house on the very next play. Huge emotional surge for which we had no answer, kudos to the blue for digging deep and pulling one out for their fallen captain.

Here's a quick summary of my day.... had a 1:00 flight to Philly to connect to Amsterdam. Got to the airport at 11ish to check bags and get through security in enough time to find a seat at the bar and settle in to at least watch the first quarter. Found perfect spot, bartender was a Buckeye and everything was perfect. Saw the first series or two, then the fire alarm goes off. No false alarm, they announced the need to evacuate the terminal and just as I was walking out I could hear the first of McCord's interceptions. Ugh...I tried to scramble back to get a view of the replay until the nice, local sheriff deputy suggested to me that I will turn around and evacuate on my own or in handcuffs. Lovely....we wait outside for the Fire Department to arrive and they took just long enough to secure the situation then for us to return, clear security again and immediately need to board our flight. Didn't see another play. Not the start of the trip I was looking for. Landed Philly, followed as best I could on my phone until I could begin the sprint to the nearest bar. Arrived just after we had tied it up 17-17. Liked the was things are going, feeling pretty good about the boys, ordered a beer and then Zinter goes down and the rest is history. Ugh....

 

Welcome back Terry, between you and Mike you both really covered some ground and trips to remember hopefully for years to come
