Distraught over watching rose bowl

Once, when I was very small, I was watching The Game with my late father and grandfather. When I said something about hoping that UM would lose every game, both immediately corrected me.

"Let UM win every game. Let them roll into the OSU game every year undefeated and on a high and let them leave with their tails between their legs. When we beat them, really whup them, let no one misunderstand who deserves to be called the best team is in all of college football. And, let them understand clearly that the route to any national championship or Big Ten title runs through the Shoe!"

For long periods of time, the bowl games actually were an anti-climax to The Game. I would personally like to see it all go that way again. Let the Big Ten win all their bowls and let us beat all of them. Let UM come to Columbus or us go to them with the NC on the line. Let everyone else play for second. If they beat Texas by 50 points, what does it say about the cannowhoppass we just opened on them?

All I care about is that the Buckeyes win, and win big, over a schedule everyone knows is a tough one.

Buckeyes #1 in 2005, the next NC year!

What about non-conference?

I agree with the stats comment!

Oh, and you definitely win :)

Maybe that was back when Iowa thought it was a problem to be using their 12th string running back whose only football experience was Madden. But after they saw that Drew Tate was able to be Jesus in pads at times, they regained their confidence and went on to be co-bigten champs.

I always pull for the Big Ten teams in any bowl or non-conference game. Even the weasels. I won't cheer much, but I'd like to see them bring a win back to the Big Ten.

But as soon as that's over, screw 'em.....

It appears that I'm in the minority on the subject but I simply can't/won't bring myself to root for scUM no matter who or where they play. I know it's a good thing for the conference to have all the teams do well in them but I just can't do it when scUM is involved. Any other Big 10 team I have no problem rooting for.

I'm dying to see UM smoke Texas. Even if they do lose this game, I can't imagine them not being in everyone's top10 next year. They have loads of talent coming back (Benson and their LB are gone, but they still have a lot of returning players) and Oklahoma won't be a shoe-in for a top-10 next year (they'll still get it tho).

If OSU blows out the other OSU, and UM massacres UT, I think OSU could be top-10 around the same spot as Texas, with UM looming at like #12.

Have your cake and eat it too! Root for scUM in the bowl game, and root for them to embarrass themselves in the parade.:scum4:

It's a no lose situation. Root for the B10, if scum wins then I feel somewhat good about the conference win, or laugh all day at Michigan for losing (I then throw it up in the scUM fans faces I know).
