Last 5 times we've played the B12

[Jaxbuck]

Its been ugly...

1998 Mizzou W 35-14
1998 T A&M W 24-14
2002 TTech W 45-21
2003 KSU W 35-28
2004 OSU W 33-7

Total: 5-0
Score: 172-84
Avg Score: 34.4-16.8


None of these games were even close. We were bigger, stronger, faster and more physical than every single one of them.

Also, we haven't lost to a team from what is now the B12 since the 1977 Oklahoma game.

As much as the media like to play up the SEC having the B10's number, I wish they would be fair and talk about how the B10 has owned the B12.

Couldn't have said it better myself. If only we could have beat Michigan last year...needless to say I would have killed to see us destroy Oklahoma.

Also, thats why I'm rooting for a Michigan win, it brings more credibility to the Big 10. Also, Texas losing to Michigan, and then us next year would be hilarious.

On a side note, two of my friends who go to Michigan that were at my house to watch the Alamo Bowl left early for reasons unknown. Maybe they were starting to get worried about THE game next year...

R0CK3TM4NN, did you just admit to rooting for Michigan against Texas?? Is that not a sin for you guys?? I don't care about the conference, I don't care about the state of Oklahoma, I will NOT be rooting for ou against USC! GO TROJANS!!

Maybe things are different for you guys.

Big10 folks tend to stick together.

Many choose to root against M*ch*g*n's opponent. I personally can root for them in bowl games.

It's all about supporting the Big10 which plays tough defense ontop of everything else. USC flash gets tons of praise, as well as crappy Texas and OU who are "dominators" despite giving up 30-40 pts all the time. It's pretty much about respect.

[WangHo]

A very, very large percentage of our fanbase would either fall in the "i don't care about the game" or the "GO TROJANS" camps. Can't stand ou with one ounce of my body.

Get ready to add texASS to that list

[JohnnyCockfight]

Michigan can eat [censored] and die. Like in a big, gay blowout. Hook 'em Horns!

I'll cheer for every other Big Ten team to win.

[ScriptOhio]

The Big 12 has turned into the "Big 2 and little 10". Does that sound familiar? After Oklahoma and Texas there is a big drop off to the next group of teams in the Big 12.

I guess its the way you look at it. I have a lot of respect for Michigan. If there is one team that I follow as much as Ohio State, it is without a doubt the school up north. It makes going into the big game that much sweeter. You know exactly what they've been through, and exactly how to beat them.

The rivalry has a lot of meaning here, and I think you'll meet two camps: those that hate Michigan with every ounce of blood in their body, and those that have the utmost respect for the school up north. But when that day comes on the 3rd week of November, everything changes. Don't get me wrong, my blood boils every time I hear "The Victor" being played for some reason for another. My Michigan friend invited me over for the Rose Bowl. I'll just have to stay quiet if they start losing it.

I'll be rooting for the Michigan rodents. A UM win over TX gives the Big-10 credibility ... which never hurts. I want to dominate an 11-0 UM team every year, not an 0-11 UM team. If UM isn't any good, what's the point of them being our rival? We might as well celebrate beating Indiana.

Indiana doesn't have the most all-time wins, nor have the best all-time winning percentage, nor did they go 13-0-2 against us in our first 15 games against them, nor did they ruin three of our undefeated seasons in the 1990s, nor do they have to most arrogant fans, etc...need I say more?

I'll do one better....
1997 - W, Missouri, 31-10
1990 - W, Texas Tech, 17-10
1989 - W, Okie State, 37-13
1986 - W, Colorado, 13-10
1986 - W, TAM (Cotton), 28-12
1985 - W, Colorado, 36-13
1983 - W, Oklahoma, 24-14
1982 - W, Baylor, 21-14
1978 - W, Baylor, 34-28

14 straight over the Big12. That's domination, folks.

And here I thought the Big XII was the greatest. I mean, they are always favored to beat up on Big 10 teams.

we gotta come up with a better sarcasm font... that [censored] hurts my eyes
