Yeah the Bucks did it.. But they did it ugly. At least from what little of the game I was able to watch.

There are only two types of tOSU games in the Jim Tressel era. Win ugly and lose spectacularly.

I could not disagree more. Every win over Michigan is spectacular.
No other win, or loss, for that matter, is all that important.
I believe we have five more exhibition games this year.
1-11 is a good year, if the single win is against Michigan.
11-1 is a bad year, if the single loss is against Michigan.
Bowl games carry very little importance.
It was nice to win the BCS against Miami, and regretable to lose to LSU and Fla, but not important.
Our last loss of any significance was 1778 days ago. Not bad.
My first game at Ohio Stadium (NEVER "The Horseshoe"....I think that profanity came from Musburger) was a snowy day in 1966, the only losing season of my lifetime. I have never been so cold in my life. Woody, of course wore a short sleeve white shirt and tie, with no coat. So I was there during the 10 years that Woody went to war against that Buckeye traitor, Schembechler. There's never been anything else in sports quite like it, and the rivalry is no less bitter today.

It's the same at the service academies--at Army, for example, they could lose every game but the Army-Navy game, and still have a successful season.

I agree with you about Michigan (mostly). Though I may be spoiled by Tresselball from the last few years. I've been a fan since the early 90's and love getting the bowl wins and beating Miami especialy almost as much as pounding Michigan.
The last time I was in The House That Harley Built was a heartbreaking loss to Texas a few years ago. (we did get our revenge in their house) I like going outside the Big 10 for other big schools and being on national TV. We get USC at home next year and I think we trade games with Tennessee after that. Anyway, my point is one of the great things about college football is that every game matters. Of course, Michigan matters most of all.

Every game does matter, which is why I think a Div. IA playoff of any kind would be an abomination as vile as the designated hitter rule.
But the Michigan game matters much more. You had to sit through the pain of the Coach Cooper years. Outstanding teams, blasting everyone. Nine, ten, eleven wins....but then losses to those snotty socialists from up north.
Woody got it right. No one who was so beloved ever carried such a burning hatred. They always talk about his boring offense, and against the traitor Schembechler he did play it very close to the vest. But twice, before Schembechler, he rang up 50 points in The Game. One was the legendary 1968 game where the Buckeyes led 42-14 in the last minute of the fourth quarter. The Bucks scored to make it 48-14. Woody went for a two-point conversion and made it, for 50 points. When asked why he would go for two in the last minute of the game he said it was because he could not go for three. He also ran up 50 in 1961. He ran up the score in both of those games, because he remembered Michigan pouring it on for 58 in a game right after World War II. Woody knew history.
A couple of years ago, I heard a story about Lllllloyd Carr. In a game with seconds left, Michigan has the ball on the OSU 1-yard line, 4th down, trailing by 5. Coach Carr calls timeout, looks to heaven and prays, "I have always been a God-fearing man, Lord, and I've never before asked your help. But just this one time, Lord, give me a sign, tell me what to do." To his amazement, he hears the voice of God thundering down from the clouds, "Toss sweep right." He's incredulous, but overjoyed, and sends in the play called by God. The ball is snapped, the toss is made, and the Buckeye outside linebacker knifes past his blocker and nails the tailback for a three yard loss as time runs out. Carr is crushed. He looks to the sky once more and says "Lord, why did you give me that play? They killed it!" Again he hears God's voice, saying "I don't know... Woody, why did we call that play?"
There is no prettier picture in sports than Michigan fans in Ann Arbor during the last seconds of a Buckeye victory.
