GOOOOOOOOOOOOOO Wolverines!!!! I hate the Buckeyes! Did you see Marlin in the game against Chicago? Nice pick, nice sack! Go Marlin!!!

Marlin, I'll jump out of my grave and punch you in the eye!

Marlin,

When the Colts play the Pats, please be all over R. Moss like a chaep suit, like white on rice - you get the picture. Take him away and we've got this game. Marlin - you the Man!

Marlin seems to have a very selective memory of that OSU-Michigan game last November.

It was not as close as the score would indicate. As a matter of fact, at one point, the score was 21-7. Michigan did mount a serious come back, aided by an OSU fumble deep in their territory and a dubious pass interference call against OSU on a Michigan 4th down play late in the game.

Last year Ohio State was clearly the better team, but it looks like the tables may have turned. OSU lost most of their offensive veterans and Michigan is loaded. However, this rivalry is more about heart than talent or records.

I predict another hard fought contest ending in a Buckeye victory!

Sadly, you may be right! You guys have Carr's number. AAARRGGHHH!!!! But, you're also right it's all about heart. Every year I look forward to this game.
