My First Osu Michigan Game

Submitted by the_big_house 500th on
Well I thought I'd take this chance to share with you guys my first OSU Michigan game in the Big House. This year was my second game and of course my blood was rushing nand I was very excited to be attending. I left my house with my friend (an OSU fan unfortuantely) around 8 am and we began our journey to Ann Arbor. Traffic was fine getting up there and I fell asleep for a majority of the trip. Anyways we rolled into Ann Arbor on campus around 11:30. Close call right? The course was packed with the tail gate as expected and Pioneer was filled to the brim so we decided to park on somebody's driveway who was charging for spaces. We quickly moved out torwards the Big House and I had to bare witness to groups of buckeye faithful rolling in with those damn flags waving on their cars and magnets on their back bumpers and trunks. There was a ton of people making their way through the gates and our destination was section 18.

I sat in row 26 and he was in 39 which I didn't realize until I reached my seat that the section was four or five sections away from the OSU supporters. Great I thought I have to put up with these clowns for the game. I was shocked to my stance on how many Buckeye fans attended that day. The enitre top section that was about eight sections away was all scarlet and grey. I shook my head in digust and looked to the person next me and said "what can you do right?" He nodded and the pregame started and ended then it was kickoff time. Osu of course chose to recieve (typical). I sung when "The Victors" played and cheered "Let's Go Blue" when the band started playing it. I loved my view of the field though and I got a perfect view of Pryor's interception and Smith's touchdown. The rest of game play wise was tough to watch. Hearing the mimics when Tate threw those pics lit my fire and soon I started to kind of mimic back. When OSU fans started chanting O-H-I-O I interupted by chanting O-R-E-G-O-N. I can tell you that a lot of people got a kick out of it and yelling "How are those Browns doing?" also caught some glares. I couldn't help it because I like to even the playing field when it comes to insults. At the end of the game I walked up to my friend's section and stayed for "The Victors" then left. I will admit that I really didn't see any of the causes of the fan ejections. I saw someone in my section leave escorted by and usher and officer. He looked drunk by the way he was walking and he was of course a Buckeye. Despite the loss I had a great time. It's always great going to Michigan Stadium and talking with new people about the game and team. It's a treat to go to the Big House anytime you have a chance to go and even if it ends in a loss you can still appreciate the fact your there. I hope to go to more games next year and I'm hoping that I also will have the grades to transfer to the campus and go to the game every Saturday next fall! Untill next year fellow Wolverines I look forward to yet another year of Michigan football! Here's to 2010!
GO BLUE

I pulled for Oregon big time last night. With a home win vs. one OSU team (Oregon State), they will be playing another OSU team in the Rose Bowl. Masoli is a great spread offense QB. He is quick, but not Denard-fast. They have a small scatback running (like our V. Smith) behind a solid O-line. Plus, a lot of good receivers. In short, they are what we WANT to become! It will be interesting to see how OSU tries to stop that attack. This Ohio St. D is very good, but nothing like the team from last year. They can be beaten by a good spread attack, just look at how well Joey Elliott played against them. An impressive Oregon win will show UM fans that RichRod's offense, if he can ever get it going here, will pose troubles in the Big 10.

next year and maybe the year after. Beyond that, I want to be the team that contends for the national title every year and doesn't gak against Upset U. The Ducks didn't do anyone any favors by nutting up in Boise this year. When Oregon runs all over the Bucks, we'll have to listen to how great the Smurfs must be.

Has a very strong offense. They were put to the test last night but Arizona couldn't hold back Masoli in the end. And their defense is also damn good too. Osu is in for a tuffy come January. As for the fans, god do I hate them. I had to put up with the red in my section all game long and this bitch behind me did not know how to shut the fuck up. One yelled at me "How's those Lions?" I answered "I don't know dumb fuck I'm from Ohio, I'm a Packers and Wings fan so I couldn't tell you dip shit." He only said "Your teams a joke." Then walked away.
