The Ohio State 42, Michigan 39



While this game was certainly entertaining, I'm not sure if it deserves the "Best Game Ever" praise it seems to be getting. It may have been the biggest regular season game ever, and I certainly hoped you all tuned in. It will be on ESPN Instant Classic on Wednesday.

Michigan never really put the issue in doubt in the second half and boy was their run defense exposed.

Jim Tressel outcoached Lloyd Carr again.

Mike Hart had the game of his life and I'm sure made Paul Pasqualoni cringe if he was watching the game. Of all the Central New York High School players Pasqualoni failed to recruit at SU, he is my 58th favorite.

Troy Smith could've just picked up that replica Heisman when he ran into the locker room after the first half. Saved himself a plane ticket.

They couldn't have a better play-by-play guy for this game than the hyperbole throwing Brent Musberger. He's done this game for at least the past five years now and should just be put on it permanently. Most of the time I find him annoying but for a game that couldn't get any bigger, he's perfect.

The only safe place for Lee Corso after he picked Michigan on College Gameday was ten feet from the Michigan bench.

There is no more fun song played at a football game than Ohio State's "Hang on Sloopy", played at the beginning of the fourth quarter and throughout the post-game celebration.

To quote Rocky Balboa and Apollo Creed "Ain't gonna be no rematch", "Don't want one". I just don't think this game was as close as the score and we deserve to see either the Urban Meyer Spread Offense or the Song Girls playing in Glendale. Of course if Notre Dame is the only other one-loss team, than we have no choice, I guess.
