Some co-workers went to the Texas v. OSU game AT Texas in 2006 and were not impressed by several Texas fans. But in the 2006 Nat'l Championship, OSU and Gator fans had a great time before, during, after the game. At least that was my experience. Everybody has their idiot fans who ruin it for both sides.

The best part was some of the OSU players jumping into the stands to hand their moms the roses. As for Henne after four years he is what he is not surprising to me at all. His recievers however laid an egg they should be ashaimed. Hart, well I am just glad he is done talking. He went from being a hard working class act to someone who simply has a big bark and no bite. I can not stand players who talk, just go play football. Jake Long did not look so hot either, but I doubt his draft status will change he is the real deal. As for the Michigan fans everything said from this post is true. Great pre-game set up on the golf course by the way, I thought that was amazing. If OSU is disliked purely based on too many awful fans then i get it, but thats it. Our coach is always respectful, our team academics are no longer a joke, only a rogue player here or there gets in serious trouble(those are the ones who usually never had a chance), and our players are respectful and say the right things. It is about the football when the game is played at UM and I enjoyed that. GREAT hosts UM my hat goes off to you. Had the chance to go to the game it was awesome.

Mike Hart seems like Major Applewhite at running back. I like the guy. Whoever pointed out that he has maximized his talent is dead on -- he doesn't have true NFL talent, but I wouldn't be surprised to see him play in that league for a few years. Manningham was flat fucking awful. I hadn't seen him play yet -- what is the deal? Butterfingers and alligator arms. Henne was bad, but OSU’s QB wasn’t much better, and he wasn’t hurt.

Is there a 'star' on Michigan's offense who isn't overrated? Henne averaged 2 yards per attempt.

Game. Ever. Manningham was uncharacteristically awful and Chad Henne has to go down as the most overrated college QB since Rick Mirer. Never has someone with so much hype been so irrelevant when his team needs him the most. He's the anti-VY. Michigan is a decaying program. They need a new coach, new players, and a new attitude. Worst. Game. Ever.

I was at the game that Archie Griffin set the OSU rushing record in his freshman year. And everything said here about OSU fans, ages 18-24 is true. They truly are an embarrassment to the rest of us.

Also, Columbus is smack dab in the middle of the state so every unemployed 18-25 year old deadender from Akron, Canton, Toledo, Dayton, Youngstown and the dozen of other small cities in Ohio jump in their 93 Cutlasses and drive two hours to Columbus to harass the enemies. The result in what you see on big gamedays there. The alums are no different than any other massive state school. The problem are the students and hangers on.
