Funny stuff. Everybody needs to get some sleep and it will be better in the morning.

Tell me you do not remotely understand the rivalry without telling me you do not understand the rivalry.

Just as hilarious, is thinking the Bucks have a chance of winning the National Championship. Ryan Day does not win big games. He's a perpetual choker. A loser.

Ohio State Football has two rules:

1) Beat Michigan

2) Win the National Championship

Jim Tressel and Urban Meyer understood this.

If you cannot do either, given the resources and expectations, hit the road. This is not the Cleveland Browns where everyone showing up with their shoes tied is considered a success and continued losing for higher draft picks is celebrated.

Whatever.

I fully understand the rivalry. I think it somewhat stupid, but I understand it. I was an avid Bucks fan until I was maybe 25 years old. Going to Florida and having lived in SEC country for the last 45+ years has changed that. I still root for the Bucks after the Gators and pretty much any SEC team.

I will admit it was a bad loss. Michigan sucks and much has been said about OSU spending $20 mil to attract various players to the roster. I also understand the feeling when you see your team, a team with high expectations, tied to the whipping post. I also don't like Day. Not so much for his coaching, I think he looks likes a Toussauds wax figure. His face is shiny and greasy looking like it's made of wax.
