Texas can end OSU's playoff dreams before 4 PM today.  Hook 'em, Horns.

There's also a MAC championship game for those of you who are into such things.

Back door Buckeyes!

Seriously Chuck, you're a good egg, but at some point the entitlement of your fanbase must get embarrassing.  Get back to kicking our ass instead of plotting excuses!

I'm just glad in the final 3 most meaningful versions of The Game, UM destroyed #2 Buckeyes seasons (except last year, where they backed in and get to hang the "almost beat UGA Banner")

After 2 decades of futility, UM manage to finish off this rivalry with 3 straight glorious wins!

Anyways, your team played much harder this year, but the program is just generally soft under Day compared to what scumbag Meyer built.

Happy Saturday sir.

Funny you say this, I was just in a conference in Indy (unfortunately could not stay for the game and left yesterday) my Uber driver was talking about the game and said he has been doing it for 8 years and was so glad OSU lost.  Said they are by far the worst fans in the big ten and he has driven all of them.  Said the vast majority are super nice including Michigan and Iowa.

His claim, not mine, but my experience would concur, is that OSU has the most obnoxious and dismissive fan base in the conference.  Also shitty tippers. 

Full disclsoure, when he asked where I was going I told him Knoxville, so he assumed I was a UT/SEC fan. He was not aware I am  Michigan homer. 

EDIT:  This was specific to the entitlement comment.

Texas just got away with DPI, then roughed the punter—also not called—and picked up a PF flag on the return. 

I  am not normally one to suggest ref conspiracies but man.

So, no PI called on Texas, and no running into the kicker called on Texas, but they threw the flag on OSU?  The fix is already obvious in this game.  

 

BTW:  Texas and Minnesota are my second favorite teams, but it looks obvious early that the game officiating is to favor Texas to give them a chance to get into the CFP.
