Plain ol' Ohio

Posted: 3/17/2012 2:10:51 PM

From the Associated Press:

When Michigan plays Ohio State, millions of fans watch, thousands of alumni show their passion and bragging rights are on the line. But there's nothing too cute and cuddly about watching two behemoth powerhouses collide.

Now, when Michigan plays plain ol' Ohio? That's a different deal. That's a chance for everyone outside of Ann Arbor to pull for the little guy — a chance for sports fans to watch five players who didn't wind up at the big school have their day on the floor with five who did and see how things really stack up.

If I decide to create a shirt which I occasionally do, this would be a possibility, but I prefer the NY Times headline: "Ohio (Just Ohio) Ousts No. 4 Michigan", so my shirt would be read: "Just OHIO"

Or how about:

Just OHIO
Only the BEST

The inhouse General Counsel at the private equity/venture capital group at which I work is rooting for O-H-I-O 'cause he's in a bracket contest that is based on drafting teams (like fantasy leagues). He had the 7th selection spot out of 8 people. He's basically down to us and Georgetown. He came into my office yesterday morning and said, 'You're an Ohio guy, right?" I thought that he meant that I'm from the state of Ohio. Turns out he meant a follower/alumni of The Ohio University. We're both in the office today (Saturday) and he was excited about the 'Cats.

Watched the game with the excellent g.f. Normally, she roots for the 'Cats but doesn't watch. She doesn't like to stare at computer screeen for those games only on 'net and/or she gets too nervous to watch. I always thought that she follows the 'Cats in a general way. It was hysterical to sit beside her on the cOUch yesterday and hear her announce the game for me: "Kellogg and TJ are coming back in"...."Ivo's really shooting well. I like the way that he smiles." I had no idea that she actually knows who guys are. She watched with me to the end. She was yelling at the TV at Beilin and the UM players.

Where's the band?!

Sounds like you've got a "keeper" there, Monroe. Time to start looking for a ring!
