edit: to be objective though, the Auburn-Bama game is nuts; those people are insane, I have no doubt.

It gets that type of noteriety becuase of the history of the game. The BCS has helped level some of the anti-south bias in the mainstream press. The reason I say it is not as good a game anymore is more a function of Michigan's horrible program than OSU.

Good God, I'm all for scUM bashing, but they were #2 going into last years game and would have gone to the BCS title game had they won. They've been to 3 BCS Bowls in the past 5 years. Would you just stop already? [censored]!

#2 Michigan last year was a paper tiger and was like the 50 year old starlet trying to get by on her looks. They get to go to BCS bowls becaus they are Michigan, not becuase they have had a good team for the past few years. They have lost their last 4 bowl apperances including 3 BCS bowls.. It is just a given that OSU is going to hand Michigan its ass every year, now that might change with RR coming ot UM...
BTW, watched "Fields of Glory" last night on Ohio State. It was pretty kewl and your stadium is very nice looking. I would love to ride up and see it one day...

Wow, thanks for showing your ignorance regarding the rivalry.
