What happened Joe???
OSU beat UofM by a few points, in a high scoring game....
Should be interesting to see if we get a rematch in the BCS...

I tried to get him but negotiating with Bonnie is tough and killed the whole thing. Still hoping to maybe get Hextall.

I really need to learn how to use the recorder on my HD dishnetwork box!
What a game....
or so I am told.......

Have one of your kids do it. :tongue (Except you might get Dora the Explorer instead of the big game.)
Just read that Michigan is still #2 in the BCS so we could be looking at a rematch come January 8 in Phoenix.

Oh Gawd CHR I hope not...what is the point of seeing this game again?? Let someone else like USC or even my Gators give them a shot...
And another thing...what happens if they beat them? You crown Michigan champs after they lost to the same team a month and a half earlier? That makes NO sense.
I really really hope the BCS does NOT let those teams play again....

Yea...that would really suk
especially if Michigan won the rematch....what a controversey it would create
interesting
Thought this was interesting, my sister told me:
The Ohio pick 4 lottery numbers for the drawing on Saturday were 4239.
This was worth $5000 each.

Being a Big 10 alum: I would love to see OSU and UM. I also disagree with earlier statements re: OSU beating UM in the regular season. that happens with NFL teams and to a lesser extent could happen with inter-league play in baseball.

Even if that "other CA:" team plays in the BCS, it will still be a traditional game where two great conferences meet.... Big 10 and Pac 10 .... like the good old days in the Rose Bowl.

I'm a Michigan fan and I know that the USC loss could/should put the Wolverines in the no. 2 spot but I just can't get that excited about a UofM/OSU rematch. I understand what Joe is saying about it happening in other leagues and/or sports but personally it feels like a no-win situation.
In my mind, when Michigan upset Notre Dame it was pretty clear they were a special team. At the start of the season they weren't even ranked in the top ten and as a fan it was great to see them march upwards through the rankings as they over-performed and exceeded expectations. It was the kind of season a fan hopes for!
It was equally frustrating to see the polls rank USC higher whenever the voters could find any possible way to construe that they were a better team. It seemed pretty clear to everyone else that Michigan was better. My brother-in-law is a die-hard USC fan and even he has admitted that, this year, USC just isn't in the same class as UofM or OSU. I'm sorry if I've offended any USC fans but there is no getting around the fact that the team choked not once but twice. If I'm wrong we'll find out in the Rose Bowl and I'll be the first to admit it!
What really made me crazy was seeing USC ranked over UofM even though UofM had 11 wins and a loss to the best team in the NCAA while USC had just 10 wins and a loss to a poor Oregon State team. You can't assume a game-in-hand is an easy win - as clearly demonstrated by what happened yesterday!
As much as I would like to see Michigan be National Champions it's just not in the cards. I really believe the National Championship was played two weeks ago and Michigan lost despite a great effort. Even if they were to play Ohio State for the championship and beat them after a six week layoff it just wouldn't mean that much.
At this point I'd personally rather see Michigan play USC and make it very clear who is the better team. It also could mean the two biggest bowls for the Big Ten - any Big Ten fan loves that.
