The Game

A few words on The Game.
Ohio State has not lost in years to the team up north,but I fear that run ends today with a ranked Wolverine team attempting to qualify for a BCS appearance with a win and Ohio State likely to end the Luke Fickell era shortly to welcome a new coach.

I suppose the soap opera like issues around the program for the last year has dampened my spirits for today far more than usual,but I am sure I'll be into the game as much as ever when it kicks off.
michigan has to be the favorite and likely winner,but OSU has a chance,especially if an inspired bunch of Buckeyes decide to send Fickell off the right way.

The key to this one?
Keep it close and hope the mind games start setting in for a michigan bunch that has zero members that have ever beaten the Buckeyes.
Ohio State has to run the ball and keep the score close as they are not equipped to have to throw the ball in order to get back into games with double digit deficits.

Even as painful as a loss to them will be,I look at it as a slight aberration.
After all,for next year Ohio State will likely have Urban Meyer,they will have Brady Hoke.
Where is Nick Bakay for the advantages on that one?
