My whole point is that I don't understand why Michigan fans feel a need to continually ask for respect in this game, just as I don't understand the bashing that
OSU is taking in theDetroit press. If this rivalry taught me anything, it ceratinly taught me to expect anything. I witnessed the 1969
OSU heartbreak, as I witnessed Greg Lantry's missed field goals in consecutive years from almost identical spots on the field to seal victories for
OSU. I do not remember a single instance where this game was ruined by a player's poor sportsmanship. Even Woody's tirades were used by him as a segway for the next season. Respect is something that must be earned and has been earned, it is not something that one demands on a bulletin board.
