UM/OSU - The game will be decided by how well Michigan can run the ball. If they can't run, they will lose by two touchdowns or more. They should hope for a bad-weather game.

Mostly sunny and 50 degrees is the current forecast

Torn ACL for Hendon Hooker.

Thus the game will be decided by health. Corum is banged up and no ones sure how healthy he'll be. There are rumors that our RB 1A Edwards has a broken hand. 2 players on the line are injured. Our top pass rusher didn't play last week. Top 2 TEs didn't play last week (1 is out of the year). Michigan has no shot unless most of those guys are back IMO. With them back I actually feel fairly confident though I probably shouldnt.

Virginia vs Virginia Tech canceled.

Dabo seems to think Northwestern and Indiana are huge rivals

Well he is from the south so he is stupid.

The announcers in the Illinois-Purdue game wouldn't shut up about what a huge rivalry game it was. I do not recall ever giving a single horsefeathers about Purdue football.

Reminds me of when the B1G first went to divisions and Iowa/Purdue was the protected rivalry game and everyone on both sides was confused.

Closest team in your division...somewhat similar competitive levels. Where I live it is almost as close to Purdue as it is to Champaign and there is a fair amount of Purdue fans around. I think Purdue's style of "play" in the game this year against Illinois is going to create some resentment if it continues in the future

In-state normally comes first. Purdue-Indiana, that's the rivalry. One thing I always found amusing when I was at OSU was how much they horsefeathering hate Michigan. I mean hate. Well, they hate everyone who isn't OSU, but the hate for Michigan is on another level. In Ann Arbor, they recognize OSU as their biggest challenge, but the stronger dislike is for MSU. However, similar to ND in Ann Arbor they generally consider themselves above everyone all the time about everything. Some not jokingly, compare UM to Harvard and MIT. They sell t-shirts that say; Harvard, Michigan of the East.

 

I've never seen a worse college atmosphere than Columbus in terms of perspective on what college sports are. I live in Alabama and there are definitely some nutters at Auburn and in Tuscolusa, but it is nothing compared to Columbus.

Interesting take RE: Michigan. I definitely agree that Michigan fans are very pompous. More talking about the perspective of rivalry. I agree that OSU fans have this unhealthy hatred of everything Michigan but I haven’t met very many Michigan people that say they dislike MSU more. They do dislike MSU especially in basketball but they loathe OSU.

[Derwood]

OSU fans are nowhere close to SEC fans. Come on.

I grew up in Michigan and am a MSU fan because of Michigans superiority complex. But I always had the feeling that MSU took the rivalry with Michigan way more serious than Michigan fans did. No doubt they were more interested in hating OSU

Yeah I didn't grow up in Michigan so I didn't get involved in all of that. I just thought Michigan's helmets were cool as a kid and then Charles Woodson + Robert Traylor breaking a backboard cemented it.

[Old Style]

Rumors that Mike Leach is going to step down after the Egg Bowl due to health reasons.

[Andy]

OSU fans are nowhere close to SEC fans. Come on.

Take VERY much for what it's worth because it's from da Bum, but he grew up right by Purdue and always said Ohio State fans were by far the worst visiting fans he encountered.

What does he know about the SEC? Maybe, LSU fans are the worst in the SEC, but there is nothing, and I mean nothing that even comes close to Columbus.

 

They use to and might still have one of the fraternities who keeps a mannequin’s head on a stick with a rubber dildo sticking out of its mouth on the end of a 10 foot stick. Every home game they put the helmet of the opponent on it and parade it around High Street and the area around the stadium to the cheers of everyone, young and old.

 

If you wear a jersey of the other team and you’re a guy you will get spit on multiple times. If you’re a female you’re name will be whore for the day.

 

I’m just scratching the surface here. They aren’t fans, they’re anti-fans. They don’t love OSU as much as they hate the team they are playing.

I've lived here for 15 years and have never seen any of this behavior. I wore a PSU shirt to an OSU game and people were nothing but nice.

 

Your hatred for Columbus is as delusional as it is vitriolic

You’ve never been to game or hung around campus then.

 

After they lost to Michigan in 2000. I was at the library. My car was vandalized in Arps parking garage. All the windows were broken out and someone used a fire extinguisher to put dents in the body. Then the person set off the fire extinguisher inside the car. It was a powder based system. His hand prints were all over the car.

 

When I called the campus police officer to report the crime. He walked around my car, saw the plates were Michigan license plates and started smiling. He took my information then said, you know you are from Michigan. He refused to take prints or give me a ride to my apartment at 11 o’oclock at night in fridges temps. This was before cell phones.

 

Kirk Herbstreet had a popular radio show on local radio in addition to his other gig. He had to move due to harassment from fans.

 

Don’t give me your lame ass horsefeathers. Columbus is a nuthouse as far as OSU goes.

 

I got more.

[Derwood]

So things in 2022 are the same as they were in 2000. Got it.

 

I'm not saying OSU fans are great (they're not), but it seems like a huge coincidence that not once in 15 years have I seen anything you've reported.

He’s not wrong there. OSU is the worst.

 

Now from when I was at Arkansas, I never had a bad experience with any fans so can’t tell you who was the worst there. Sports and fans were just more intense down there compared to Purdue/Big Ten.
