Michigan - Ohio State game thread

[UMass922]

I'm getting shivers watching the Ohio State band here. This is going to be huge.

[UMass922]

Michigan comes out throwing. Effortless-looking drive there for the opening TD.

[unknown-swac]

I was about to count Michigan out..

OSU - 21

Michigan - 14

[UMass922]

Very entertaining game so far. Certainly living up to expectations.

[ASU Kep]

I've got $$$ on Michigan...thank God they scored before the half!

[UMass922]

28-14 at the half. Ohio State is scoring at will.

[ASU Kep]

Michigan gets a 3 and out...

[ASU Kep]

TD Michigan, 28-21.

[ASU Kep]

Things not looking good...35-24 OSU...OSU INT under review.

[ASU Kep]

INT overturned...4th D UM.

[ASU Kep]

I can't believe they are punting on 4th and one in this situation.

[ASU Kep]

Bad snap...MICHIGAN RECOVERS deep in OSU territory!

[ASU Kep]

TD MICHIGAN!

[ASU Kep]

TD under review...UM posed to go for two.

[ASU Kep]

100% BS call...TD over-ruled. See? "Big" Conferences have horrible refs too, guys.

[ASU Kep]

NOW its a TD Michigan!

[ASU Kep]

UM decides to kick XP...35-31...I don't understand the call at all...

another OSU fumble on the snap, Michigan ball

[UMass922]

Michigan needs to step up the red-zone defense here . . . has to hold Ohio State to a FG . . .

Heh. Well, so much for that happening.

[AppGuy04]

TD Michigan

2 point conversion good

42-39

[UMass922]

It's incredible how close Michigan has kept this game. It's felt like Ohio State has been firmly in control pretty much the whole way--yet here we are with just a three-point game. Michigan might not be able to get the ball back, though.

[AppGuy04]

1st down, game over

[*****]

kinda low score for a basketball game huh?

[bobcatfan06]

Anyone think that game was better than the USC vs. Texas MNC game last year?

:bawling: :bawling:

Anybody who doesn't think those are the 2 best teams in the country is crazy. I won't be heartbroken if we don't get a rematch though, the Rose Bowl is a VERY nice consolation prize. All the kudos in the world to the Buckeyes, Troy Smith is definetely the Heisman winner.

[Go Lehigh TU Owl]

Well Michigan's close loss probably eliminates Notre Dames chances at the title game. Owell i'll still enjoy when ND stops USC's winning streak next week in the Coliseum. Notre Dame will beat USC next week, mark it down. :nod:

[UMass922]

Troy Smith is definetely the Heisman winner.

I don't know . . . he's no Josh Johnson.

Seriously, though, now that we all know Harbaugh has seen Troy Smith play (and shred his alma mater's defense to pieces, no less), can someone please ask coach if still truly thinks the best QB in the country "period" plays for San Diego? I'd love to hear his answer.

At least I don't have to change my avatar to Montana St. for Bison 95.

[seantaylor]

The only team that is close to either of these teams is USC. But, I think Florida will get into the NC game, and it will be an absolute massacre. Michigan deserves the rematch.

[JohnStOnge]

I was pulling for OSU because I like Tressel but...tell ya' what...it'd have gotten awfully dicey for the Buckeyes if there hadn't been that helmet to helmet contact penalty that kept Ohio State's last TD drive alive because their defense wasn't stopping Michigan too well.

As I understand it, it was a correct call. But it sure wasn't an intentional foul...just really bad luck for the Wolverines.

I've often said that random chance...luck...plays a role in football games. I think Ohio State got pretty lucky there. I'm happy about the outcome but...man...what a tough break for Michigan on that play. We'll never know if that helmet to helmet made a difference in the outcome but it sure is possible that it did.

[LacesOut]

Good christ what a game!! I had OSU by a FG, but no way did I expect all those points.

[Gil Dobie]

I was on the road for the NDSU game, so I didn't hear anything but the final score. Ohio St wins the Big 2 again.

:thumbsup: :thumbsup: I didn't think OSU would allow M to move the ball that well. Great game.
