Whipped Wolverine

It was close for a quarter and a half and then things returned to normal as Ohio State cruised to a 37-7 pounding of the michigan wolverines in Columbus.
The win which clinched a share of the Buckeyes sixth straight conference title and seventh straight win over michigan.
The bowl that OSU will be headed to will be announced next week,but should be either the Sugar Bowl in New Orleans against either Arkansas or LSU or the Orange Bowl against the ACC Champion either Florida State or Virginia Tech....

Buckeye Leaves

1) Play of the game was Jordan Hall's kick return for a touchdown right after michigan scored their only points and trimmed the lead to 10-7.
The wolverines never had the same gas tank after that.

2) I cannot wait until Hall becomes the featured back as I think he could be the best Buckeye back since Eddie George.
That is a big statement,but only Jim Tressel's loyalty to Boom Herron has stopped that from happening.

3) Boom had a big game yesterday though,although most do against the cream cheese D that is played by the wolverines.
Herron's 98 yard run for a score that was canceled would have been a series record...

4) I dislike the uniforms worn in the win.
OSU looked like Rutgers for God's sake.
Ohio State has tons of tradition and they dont need to be an attention hog like Oregon,so can we please scrap the alternate togs?

5) So much for "Shoelace" Robinson.
Anyone remember all the "Shoelace" for Heisman and michigan is back talk???

6) I really missed Brent Musberger at the game.
No one brings the attitude of the college game more than Musberger and Big Ten games are lacking something without him...

7) Sean McDonough is passable in the booth,but three weeks in a row with Matt Millen?
Tough to take a guy seriously with his track record,yet he speaks with such certainty.
If some network ever put Gus Johnson with Matt Millen as a team on broadcasts,I might just lose my mind...

8) This could have been worse on the invaders as Terrelle Pryor was picked off late in the first half,Herron's TD was called back and became an eventual field goal and Jim Tressel sat on the ball at the end of the game rather than score another TD deep in opposing territory.

9) To those of you that think this rivalry is passe' and the Buckeyes "own" it for good.
Two words-John Cooper.

10) One more for the road-Keep Rich Rodriguez...
