The painful truth

From Stewart Mandel via Sports Illustrated.

Shortly after Saturday's Rose Bowl-clinching win, Jim Tressel told his team:

"You can have three hours and savor this, but when the clock strikes 12:00, we know what week it is....

I'm just playing with you guys...

They have no defense

...Take a couple of days off
.
"

Edit: This got picked up by a couple of Buckeye Blogs. For the record, I know this is a made up quote. Tressel would never be that truthful or funny. I also know that if he did say it, it wouldn't matter. All the bulletin board material in the world won't make tackles or cover receivers.

Maybe TUOS will let us win to get another Big Ten team bowl eligible and thus make more money themselves.



Probably not.

You all don't think this is the perfect storm?

I'm uneasy.

Whets.. It may be the perfect storm and I am hoping for a Michigan win, but Tressel has a keen sense of the obvious about the Michigan defense. There would have to be significant improvement for them to win, but that is why they play the games. Let's see what happens and either way we can still continue our childish exchanges with each other. Go Blue!

Childish! Childish!?

Wow. I've been promoted. I might just buy a lottery ticket.

Yea seriously the Michigan D makes mediocre QBs look good. Pryor will probably run for 170 yards himself as he's a loping gazelle that no one in our secondary will be able to tackle. Hopefully he'll throw an INT or two and keep us back in it. If the offense can show the shades of brilliance it's shown all year and keep that together for 4 quarters then they might have a chance if it's close late. If it is I think emotion will take over combined with some crowd support. If not then it will be over in the 3rd.

I'm about to call my dad and see if he wants to make the drive and enjoy Bob's chili and try n score cheap tickets. I'm sure he'll probably say no but we'll see. Updates coming.

Just remember this old adage:
If things are going well, it's probably an ambush.
