No. 12 Michigan State vs. No. 2 Ohio State
| 
Nov 21 00:55 UTC 1995 |
On many occassions, Ohio Grexers have wanted to come and visit all our
cyberfriends in Ann Arbor, Michigan. However, we have not been able to do so
for various reasons. So, it is our pleasure to finally send a delegation to
Ann Arbor this weekend... your good will ambassadors, the Ohio State University
Football Team!
On Saturday, November 25, No. 12 Michigan will meet up with No. 2 Ohio State
in your very own town. Ohio State is currently 11-0 and we are not prepared
to let anyone block the path to the Rose Bowl. Last week, OSU won a sweet 42-3
victory over IU's Hoosiers and, no offense, we're ready to take MI on in the
same manner.
You might wonder what I'm saying here. Let me rephrase then..... GO BUCKS!!!

BTW, Michigan State is in EAST LANSING -- Michigan is in Ann Arbor.

Yeah, well, I'm not a football fan, but as GrexOhio-dude, I felt it my duty
to mention the fact that Ohio State is going to beat you -- no matter what
you want to call yourself.

I do not follow many sports and football is down near the bottom of
the heap in my book. As such, I do not keep track of when the games are.
However, I live only a mile or so from UofM stadium. This year, I have
gone out on a saturday to pick up grocerys or run some errand and come
back to find that the game has just let out. This means that the Ann Arbor
police have put up barracades and turn Ann-arbor/Saline Road into a 5-lane
one way avenue from the stadium down to I-94. I live in a burb on the
other side of this road with no other access. I have to make a 15 mile,
30 to 45 drive out and around to get to my home that is only a 1/2 mile
from the grocery store. Needles to say, I feel like Nuking UM stadium,
the players, and all the fans each time this happens.
College should be about learning and education, not sports.

Oh great, less than a week after I move a block away from the stadium, it's
the Ohio State game? I think I'll spend the day at my parents' house, since
I rpobably won't be able to get to my apartment if I leave.

Unless it really is Michigan State and not "Michigan." I can see how
it would seem like a trivial difference to an Ohioan, but in Ann Arbor,
the Univ of Mich's football rivalry with Michigan State is nearly as
intense as it is with Ohio State. (Though even a second-rate school
in Michigan can kick Ohio's butt, nyaaah!! :-) (Ok, so my knowledge
of football is limited to its impact on traffic that gregc mentioned).

Now I'm confused.
The original item just said "michigan" not "michigan state". What are
responses #3, #4, and #7 all about? Do I have to worry about traffic this
Saturday or not?

Re #7: Yes, I'm sure it's Michigan now, not Michigan State. And Rob, perhaps
any second-rate or first-rate school has a *chance* of beating Ohio State,
but what are the chances of Michigan beating OSU? None? Slim? Rare? <grin>
Re #8: I accidentaly wrote Michigan State in this item's header instead of
Michigan (but I think I was correct in saying that Michigan is NO. 12 right
now, wasn't I?).

Well, *I* will be at the game, as I am at almost every game, and though
I'll no doubt be worn out from events of the night before.
(We'll probly lose, but I have twenty bucks riding on it with one of my
vendors, and had to bet on Michigan as a point of honor. That's usually
a good way to make them lose)

I have made it a point never to willingly set foot inside the stadium,
unless I am being paid for it, which occaisionally happens when I once took
the Indiana coaching staff from the Campus Inn to the Stadium, and two weeks
ago when I took a satellite technician from the Clarion to the Stadium.
The traffic has never bothered me, I use about 20 different ways to
dart in and out of the tra. depending on the attitude of the perns in the back
sat. If you are nasty, you can be sure that I will do my best to find a log
jam, if you're nice, you'll get near the stadium, and only have to walk just
a bit. SO BE NICE TO EVERYBODY!!!

Michigan *was* ranked #12, before they lost to then #19 Penn State on
Saturday. Now Michigan is ranked #20 or #18, depending on your poll.
Only an ignoramus from Ohio (redundant) would confuse Michigan with
lowly michigan state. That's like confusing OSU with Ohio University (or
is that University of Ohio? :-).

I think any Ohio State fan needs to be concerned with their chances of going
to the Rose Bowl..I think they will but how unfortununate that they wont be
in the running for a national title just because they will be going to the
Rose Bowl.

I think that the OSU fans use the buckeye to pelt their teams following
losses. Is the buckeye edible? Does the grexOhio dude have recipies? Do
share, won't you?

Ohioans are just sore because they got Toledo and we got the UP, which I
might add is prettier than any part of Toledo current titleholder of Armpit
of the World).

the cokking cf (there *is* a cooking cf, isn't there?).
Re #17: True. :( Sorry for leashing my frustrations out on you all. <evilgrin>

voila! A buckeye! <g>

Sounds like the perfect size to clog an artery...but Mmmmm.... :-)
Robert, there's indeed a cooking cf. Post your buckeye recipes, and
I'll post some wolverine recipes in return...nothing like wolverine
tail roasted over an open fire.
