Down From the Ledges

Instant classic, or so it was deemed by ESPN. The OSU/Michigan game was instant heartburn for me. Those close games are only exciting and fun after the fact, and then only if your team wins.

In my case I was getting pretty angry about all the turnovers in the game. OSU had Michigan on the ropes and let them back in the game by not holding onto the ball. At one point my wife literally had to talk me off of a ledge, sort of. When Michigan went up 21-12, I decided to go work outside and give up on the game. I was literally on the roof working on our Christmas lights when OSU scored the touchdown to make 21 -19. She called to me from inside the garage that I'd better come back in and watch the rest of the game.

Thank goodness for the miracle of DVR. I climbed down the ladder and rewound the game so I could see the touchdown and the rest is history. It's nice to see Michigan get a little taste of what it was like for us during the John Cooper era.

So anyway, congrats to the Buckeyes and bring on the Fighting Irish. At least we hope so. It would stink to not get into a BCS game after all that, but only time will tell.
