It's pretty incredible. Apparently Jon Runyan suggested it to him (yeah Michigan!) but I still give Westbrook all the credit in the world for taking the knee. <BR/><BR/>I'll generally root for any Big Ten team in the bowls depending on the matchup, but not OSU in the title game. No way.<BR/><BR/>I will root for every CCHA team in the NCAA tournament, OSU and MSU included, though I didn't want to see Sparty actually pull off the title. If it was Sparty vs. Minnesota though? I'd be singing that circus march as loud as anyone.Packer487https://www.blogger.com/profile/04807642066292189138noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14201311.post-30727541438407296222007-12-18T11:54:00.000-06:002007-12-18T11:54:00.000-06:00Normally I'm all for rooting against non-conferenc...Normally I'm all for rooting against non-conference opposition in any sport, simply for the fact that it makes your own conference stronger, or at least appear stronger. <BR/><BR/>However, Tim has a point: An OSU win over LSU serves to benefit no one but OSU. Recruits won't suddenly be thinking Big 10 over SEC, although they may take OSU over an SEC school. Michigan gains nothing with an OSU win, so we default to the norm... F_ck OSU.<BR/><BR/>As for the Westbrook play, I haven't seen it, but heads-up moves like that will certainly win me over as a fan far before personal stat padding. Absolutely BRILLIANT decision.<BR/><BR/>Rodriguez: Martin goes from goat to hero in a day. Nice redemption Bill :) There will certainly be some growing pains next season, but the excitement surrounding it is far superior to another season of status quo. Fortunately for us, the waiting will be very short-lived, what with 2 fantastic hockey teams to watch until April/June (fingers crossed), and the tremendous potential the Tigers have.<BR/><BR/>Lions?

And to have them be able to hold 2 national titles in 5-6 years over us in recruiting.<BR/><BR/>To me, there's absolutely NO reason for a Michigan fan (and it's unclear what allegiance you hold) to be rooting for OSU in that game. Michigan gains no real benefit from Ohio State being national champs.<BR/><BR/>And those hicks don't deserve it.Packer487https://www.blogger.com/profile/04807642066292189138noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14201311.post-50697556384384991292007-12-17T06:24:00.000-06:002007-12-17T06:24:00.000-06:00"Beat those Buckeyes, Les."Are you serious?
