"Football Armageddon"
[preemptive apology: this devolved into a protracted rant against tOSU and the state of Ohio]
I don't care about the National Championship ramifications; I want to see them beat tOSU. A University from a State that represents a large portion of all that is vile, base, and dumb in the world. They also cannot spell. And their most celebrated coach, Woody Hayes, is the perpetrator of the most unsportsmanlike act in history when he punched a player on the opposing team.
Ironically, while located roughly in the center of The United States, Ohio possesses none of the virtues or unique features found in other geographic areas. No Southern Charm, Northeast history / culture(?), Western natural beauty, prairie desolation, etc. It's like a national backwater, utterly devoid of class or accomplishment.
Ohio is equivalent to the locally owned & non-distinctly named restaurant holed-up in the shell of a Pizza Hut that you're forced to patronize while at some random exit on the long trip back from some family vacation. The lights are dim, the coke flat, your family exhausted from a long day of driving with four more hours to go, the physical surroundings eerily familiar of a chain restaurant you're not sure you would have wanted to eat at in the first place. All you want to do is eat your soggy chicken tenders and get the hell out of there. You can very nearly hear the Twilight Zone theme song playing.
That's Ohio. Heck, the river which runs through Cleveland was once so polluted that it regularly caught on fire.
The University? It's the salt (or should I say pepper) of the earth.
I ran into Dr. Jay Green in a hallway at church on Sunday. We hesitated. Awkward silence. He said: "We're not friends this week." Repent Jay, you must have no truck with evil. If I see you with a Buckstache, it may be time to get the session involved.

Yeah, Indiana is the second state in which I've lived which happens to be adjacent to Ohio. Now, it not only represents that medium-sized state next door to which I have no reason to go, but it also represents that largish stretch of toll road between where I am and where I'm going.

I'm not sure Holton, what I can assure you of is this.

Yeah, that didn't work out very well. But I'm still with Choltie on this one.

The key is Henne. If he plays the game of his life, Michigan should win.
