As a Michigan fan, I've gotten accustomed to watching Jim Tressel's teams be well-prepared, play disciplined football, and efficiently execute their game plans. Meaning the Wolverines lose to OSU time and again.
I didn't see that OSU team on the field last night.

This game, and all the bowl games, are utterly ridiculous. There needs to be a championship tournament. Ohio State would have lost by the second round of a 16 team tourney. LSU may very well have gone all the way, but could have held their victory up as true national champs rather than the empty title they hold now.
I love college football. I played in high school, went to Notre Dame and remain an ND and U of Oregon fan. But over the last few years I've pretty much stopped caring - not because ND has been an embarassment, but because the post-season is so frustratingly anti-climatic. I doubt I'll watch more than 2 NCAA football games next year.
NCAA basketball is where its at. Bring on the March Madness!!! Crown a true national champ on the court.

OTOH, Dale, I did see the Michigan team we OSU fans have come to respect, rivalry or not, stomp Florida. What a great send off for a fine coach! Playing you guys won't be the same for a long time.

Sig that's been one of my concerns all along. The boy is a good kid and a heckuva hard worker. I've worried all along that the lure of the Marines would attract him. It'd be great for the Corps but such a potential loss for his family and friends.
The other day his father calmed my fears with assurances that the boy has every attention to go to the nuclear school after coaching and finish his commitment on an atomic sub or carrier.
But until I see it with my own eyes I'll have that nagging worry. The crotch (Marine Corps) is a pretty awesome outfit and they have a lot to offer young men and women who want to step up and be counted. And this is from a vet of thirty five months, twenty days, and fourteen hours in the United States Army if anyone's counting.
