Big Football weekend in Ohio!!

[Cinder & Smoke]

Staci *WINS* the Daily Gold Star!!

I'm not really a die hard anything fan.
but ...

Isn't it actually the University of Michigan?
Michigan State is as different as Columbus State is to Ohio State.

Michigan State bleeds green and white. UofM bleeds that other color!

{{hugs}}
GO BUCKS!

YESS!!!

Give that girl her Prize ... as soon as we figger out what da prize IS!

OSU is playing against the University of Michigan ...

a.k.a. "the Wolverines" or "U-M" ... the BLUE Team.

"Michigan STATE (University)" is the "Spartans" or "MSU"

And she sez she's not a phann.

But I come from a whole clan of OSU fans - and have family in Michigan which is why I know the difference.
after this thread I sent them an email just wanting to say hi and GO BUCKS! funny I haven't heard anything from them!

[pitc9]

I will be at the Horseshoe! It's gonna be insane.

Lucky Duck!!! Have Fun!!!!

[cyber-sibes]

G O B U C K S !!!
enjoy the game - it will be insane, so be careful!
My son's at OSU, but I don't think he's going. And OSU is my hubby's Alma Mater.
We're a little farther south of the Michigan border, but we still see an occasional blue & gold cap or sweatshirt. Then they go away.

Haha... "Then they go away"... that's true.

What I don't REALLY understand... is the bantering we have against eachother... OSU against Michigan.. vice versa? OSU fans are getting really mean right now since it's 2 more days left til' game time.

Why is your son not going? It's going to be a part of OSU/MICH history.. no matter what happens..

do you mean in general or here b/c I don't see anything mean here -
OSU fans are notorious for being insane after the game - regardless of the outcome - wait until all the rioting afterward- that is what ticks me off.

[CountryWolf07]

Yes, just in general is what I meant. It ticks me off also. I just don't see the point of turning over cars and setting them on fire, or setting dumpsters on fire.. I mean, that is ridicilous. Have some common sense, people.

Go Buckeyes!

(Once a Buckeye, always a Buckeye )

He's just not into football, and he doesn't like crowds. The only time I've ever been in the stadium was for graduation when my husband got his Phd. But he used to go in early before the games just to hear the band! He IS a big football fan, and he'll be watching! We have friends in Columbus who are going. I think it's absolutely awesome that you'll be there!

[joycenalex]

and i say that having lived in columbus for the last 16 years. i've been to a game at the 'shoe, and it was sooo much fun. still i think MICHIGAN has the slightest edge this year. MICHIGAN by 3!

[pitc9]

Say.... a few toys or treats for our pets??? Huuummm????


Wadda ya say??

Here at Ohio State, we take it VERY seriously when it comes to Michigan.. We have a tradition where we JUMP IN Mirror Lake the day before the GAME! We did it at midnight.. and here are pics:

Yes by the way I froze my ass off, but it was so amazing, so amazing that I can't describe it.. it's definitely one of the greatest things I've done here at Ohio State.







What Mirror Lake looks like now:

Since Rachel brought it up....I got this email this week.

Bud Light Presents: Real Men of Genius...
Today we salute you, Mr. Mirror Lake Jumper-Inner.
Ignoring the obvious dangers of severe hypothermia, you trudge onward
and plunge into a 27 degree body of water in the middle of November.
Armed only with an abundance of buckeyes around your neck, you are
living proof that nothing is unbearable as long as you have a big set
of nuts. Splashing around tirelessly, you disregard the frigid
temperatures and try to warm yourself by incessantly chanting "O-H"
and "I-O." Why do you do it, they ask? Because no wind chill factor
is gonna stop you from showing a little school spirit and a pure
hatred for those b*st*rds up North. So crack open an ice cold Bud
Light, oh Crazed one of Columbus, because when it comes to the
Buckeyes, you're simply NUTS.
