OBSERVATIONS FROM A MICHIGAN PARTY

[UpNorthBuckeye]

great read.

In my parallel universe, it's a Lazy Boy, not a Barcalounger.

And wives?? They are just not allowed.

They went to the craft show.

As I said in another thread, I moved a couple years ago and my new family room is undefeated. Should have watched the NC game there, I guess. And for Illinois I was at Maumee Bay State Park, in the lounge.


I hope my wife understands that I have to be at home from now on for OSU games.

My daughter is talking about getting married in November 2008. I told her if it's a game day I'll be watching the game so just plan around it!

Let's hope Oh8ch is right, too, about MSU, Illinois and scUM all being tougher. We need a dominant Big Ten.

It starts in the Bowl season.

Go Bucks!

And oh by the way:

Yes, I was thanking God for Jim Tressel while watching Arizona try desperately to gack away a game that had fallen in their lap.

Yes, I was saying "Let's GO! Let's SCORE!" late in the first half of The Game.

As I've said before; JT has the job that all of us value above all others (unless you don't like a challenge) because he is smarter than we are. Whether he is smarter while sitting in front of a computer is not the question; he is smarter when the lights are the brightest and the pressure is highest and when things are happening too fast-and-furious for any but the most composed and in-control to truly shine.

The other antithesis of Tressel-ball in Mike Leach. I was watching TTech against Oklahoma on Saturday night, and with a 34-13 lead with about 30 seconds to go in the third quarter, first and goal at the 6-yard line, his QB throws a pick. They ended up having to make 2 4th-down stops in the red zone, and recover an on-side kick to hold on 34-27.

How long had JT been dreaming about being able to take a knee near the Michigan goal line in Ann Arbor to end a victory?

JT should have had a sense of humor about it though. He should have lined up in 5 wide in shotgun then took a knee.

Excellent post. I have recently returned to Ohio after living "abroad" for many years. So we have started some traditions of our own. We go to a friends house - myself, daughter, brother and friends (husband and wife). We all bring food eat before we watch the game. I buy something new to wear, this year a new ball hat. Yelling at the TV is greatly encouraged. Throwing things is allowed as long as you don't break anything important or hit the dog.

Last year we gathered for the NC game and you know how that turned out. So after The Game this year I said we could not get together for the Rose Bowl as we don't want to ruin it. Unfortunately I was outvoted so we are gathering again to watch that. If we (God forbid) loose then I will make sure we never get together for a bowl game again.
