Will somebody please teach The Buckeye Blog how to read?
It's easy to prove your point when you've already got your mind made up on something.  Since the dawn of the Tressel era, Buckeyes have convinced themselves that their years of futility against Michigan under Cooper was a direct result of Cooper "not getting it."  "He never emphasized ...

Unverified Voracity Plays Whack-A-Media
mgoblog — ... to stop a power run game like Michigan State the key player is the defensive end, who has to crash inside to eliminate the hole and disrupt the pulling offensive linemen, which will naturally cause the RB to bounce outside into the waiting arms of a linebacker. Spielman does that. And he cloaks his disdain masterfully when called upon to do so. He can do Michigan games whenever he pleases. Don't leave us with Andre Ware, please. Etc.: Ohio State fans can't read. The WLA does hate week right;  apparently those of us with Fandom ...

Michigan: A Look At The Stats (And A Couple Intangibles)
Around the Oval — ... 1. Rich Rodriguez - We hate him, West Virginia hates him, a small but vocal (and overly excitable, if not out-and-out dumb) portion of the Michigan fanbase hates him. He can coach, though. He's showed that time and time again. How will he handle the game? Beauford at Maize n Brew doesn't buy into the concept of "getting" the rivalry, but I do. It's not so simple as "getting it = winning it," but I think the Cooper years, especially when contrasted with the Tressel years, have shown us that treating the OSU-Michigan game as just another game is a mistake. I'm not suggesting that ...

How Do You Kick ‘Em When They’re Already Down?
The Buckeye Blog — ... Wolverines have been so overwhelmingly humiliated already that it sort of takes the fun out of it. How do you beat a team that has already beaten themselves so badly. What do you do with a team that is so far down, it is getting harder and harder to see a return to the greatness they once knew. But here we are, just days before “The Game” and as loyal Buckeye fans, we have a duty. And don’t think for a minute the Michigan fans aren’t feeling the pain of this season. Sure, they may be quick to jump to the defense of their multi-million dollar mistake of a coach but dig past ...

Well, That Went Better Than Expected.
Around the Oval — ... thought about Rich Rodriguez "Getting It," the Ohio State-Michigan rivalry would remain a relatively even battleground, despite the fact that the Wolverines had come in to Columbus about to wrap up arguably their worst season in school history.  Although Beanie Wells' third consecutive OSU-UM game with a 50+ yard touchdown run, the offense was unable to sustain any sort of continuity, and as a result could only muster up 14 points in the first half.  The defense played nearly flawless in the first two quarters, but it only took one poor drive late in the second ...
