I have the unfortunate pleasure of being a Michigan fan as well. How can you cheer for OSU?:madmax: Traitor!!! The Big Ten was overrated again this year. Michigan was no match for USC. I don't care if everyone on that team is a no-name, Carroll is an amazing coach. Carr has to go. He can't and won't beat OSU because Tressel is just too good.
OSU/USC would be a fun game to watch.
The BigTen routes for the BigTen when they are not playing each other. If you go to hardcore OSU fans, the majority of them route for Michigan when they are not only in a regular season game, but also a bowl game. The President of the OSU Alumni of Phoenix was throwing a get together to watch the Rose Bowl, and all, including myself, cheered for Michigan. It is a shame that they didn't play better though...

Do you listen to sports talk radio? Jim Rome is full of OSU fans calling/emailing in stating the above. Yesterday afternoon on xtra910 on the Jeff Dean show, it was non-stop flapping. It will be interesting to see how many people fall off of the wagon now.
Even your first post moves toward my point. "OSU's defense sucked, we couldn't block, blah, blah, blah" I guess it is easier to tell yourself that your team didn't play well than it is to admit you got beat by a team with more talent, more speed, and a better gameplan.
I'll give it to you though, OSU fans are dedicated.
That is nothing what he was saying. He was saying that OSU fans aren't nasty, don't rub it in (as you are now), and admit to their mistakes, and don't blame it on the refs, a single bad play, a certain player on either team, ... They blame it on themselves, and that is what you call good sportsmanship.
And skinny-tire: The season has been going for a while now. I went and watched the OSU vs. Illinois game on Sunday... and there were games before that.
