is there ANY respect for UM down there or just pure, [censored]y hate?
My feelings toward your team are one of grudging acceptance. I accept you have some talented players and accept that you are one part of the greatest rivalry in sports. In other words I believe you are a necessary evil. In many ways it is important for you to exist if for no other reason that we can more clearly see the greatness of the Buckeyes in contrast to your team.
But respect??
I personally can't make that leap- maybe others can- there are too many things I dislike about your team and the culture that has been created in AA.

First, sorry to hear about Perry's mother, that's awful. That said, take off those maize glasses for a sec. Running up numbers against defenses like Houston, Eastern Michigan, Indiana, and Northwestern doesn't impress me. Do you Honestly think Perry will be drafted before any of the players I mentioned? I don't. Stats don't impress me for a number of reasons so quite frankly I don't care how many yards he's run for.

Keep it that way and you'll be OK here. The management wants this to be (first and foremost) a board for Buckeyes, but they also like the discourse of intelligent fans from other schools. Have some thick skin (at least until people "respect" you as a poster-you need to earn it) and avoid flamming & trolling.

respect?, of course we respect Michigan and the rivalry. I think 99% of the people here just enjoy to joke about 'scUM'.
Like so many other years, our game this season could well help define the national championship picture. OSU/Michigan in my mind is a rivalry only second (perhaps) to Navy/Army. OSU and Michigan represent the top tier in the Big Ten, and often the upper tier in the national scene. In terms of impact on college football as a whole, the OSU/Mich rivalry has to be #1.
That this is the 100th meeting makes it that much more special. We're really going to appreciate winning that one, marking the 3rd straight OSU win in a 3 game series where 2 were in the Pig House. (See, 'pig'/'big', just a joke).
You'll find better discourse here than some other OSU boards, expect to take some ribbing, but probably less than I'd expect were I to venture over to umgoblue.com for example.
Taking 'respect?' as a nick makes me suspect you're here to make a few points and then never return. I appreciate that you're not just trying to make a stink, and that you're taking jabs well. Should you decide you'd like to stick around and provide Weasel perspective more often, and would like a more suitable nick, just PM me.

clarity - yeah, 'respect?' wasn't the greatest tag but it was the first thing that came to mind when reading some of the threads involving UM. and i really didn't plan on being around long, i kinda feel like i'm trespassing on this site. just wanted to talk about THE GAME.
bucknutty - i don't think perry should win the heisman or anything, i just think he's the best (at least top 2-3). yes, he got some yards against bad teams, but so did the 4 guys you listed. nobody plays a top 10 team every week. and those aren't padded numbers. he doesn't play any longer thn he should in blowouts.
buckskin - i would love to hear more about the 'culture created in ann arbor' that you have such a problem with. can you explain?

I think at times that alot of mental midgets come out and make fooloish statements in regards to this great rivalry.
I'm a "Coach Hayes" guy. He is the reason that I follow this football team. This rivalry has always been a great one, but it totally heated up when Coach Schembechler took over at dUMb. Things got real bitter at times, but what we need to remember as fans is that Coach Hayes and Coach Schembechler were great friends off the field. Both of these fine men would have gladly died for the other, throw the "Game" aside.
I totally despise Michigan football for approximately 3 hours a year. In a perfect world we would both be undefeated every year going into "The Game."
"Respect?" Yea, you guys have it from me.
But, "The Mean one" may not feel the same way!

Respect may be a little strong. I do root for ******** most of the time. This week thought, I can't say it, don't want to hear it and really hate seeing it. The Bucks know it will be a though game, and, I think, are ready for it.
GO BUCKS
