3. It ain't luck
the luck is the fantom defensive holding call that all the ABC cameras missed.

5. Well of course UM is slightly handicapped
By having to admit athletes who must take actual classes and not FOOTBALL as taught by Jim Tressel and open only to football players.

But, go ahead, stay complacent. We don't mind.

6. Oh yeah of course-Michigan stands out in D1 as the only pure...
"scholar athletes" around. Yep they get up and put on their suits and go to class and then sing in the barbershop quartet and then go to study by candle light....oh I almost forgot they go to football practice to prepare for this week's game for the old Big Blue team just like it has been done for ages.

Mmmmhmmm :eyes:

7. Say what you will...
There is no Football class, taught by the coach, open only to football players, for credit at UM.

8. That's true. NBC did a piece on this last year
during the Michigan/Notre Dame game. They pointed out that neither ND nor Michigan offered credits in "football". In fact, some OSU guy transferred to Maryland and a huge number of his credits wouldn't transfer.

And Tressel teaches the class! They can get up to 10 credits. Between that and setting the bomb sniffing dogs on the Michigan team when they came to Ohio last year, I really have no respect for the guy (oh, and playing the player who was going to be suspended for last year's Michigan game, then sitting him out later.) And when he lied about his player choking the Wisconsin player last season too (though he did apologize later.)

2. Ohioans don't deserve this win.
After screwing the country in the 2004 elections! So it must be a pyrrhic victory for them.
