Michigan 47, Notre Dame 21

I honestly have never laughed so hard during a football game. That pretty boy bitch, Brady Quinn, (a native of Dublin, Ohio) got utterly humiliated. The play where the ball slipped out of his fingers was priceless. I guess I was right when I said he should be modeling for Abercrombie, not playing football.

OK Penn State. What's YOUR retort! (after last week's beatdown from ND)

It's always a good day when Notre Dame loses.

two things: nd proves they are over-rated as always and it looks like there's gonna be a showdown at the end of the season with that team up north (also as always).

One of those rare moments in history I rooted for Michigan (as I hate Notre Dame).

But in reality, I was wishing for an earthquake.

many of my osu friends (see also: 2) were in line with your thought process.

If OSU keeps the #1 ranking and Michigan climbs to #2...which probably won't happen with USC's weak schedule...has there ever been a situation where the #1 team has played two different #2's in the same regular season?

I knew this would happen. I've been posting it online for over a month. Toledo would upset Michigan in Ann Arbor. One of football's greatest dynasties would come crumbling down to a MAC team, and a MAC team team that's at its all-time worst. Keep in mind Toledo recently lost at home to Florida International. I was right, folks, Michigan sucks that bad.

Toledo beats Michigan 13-10 after late FG miss

ANN ARBOR, Mich. (AP)—Holy Toledo.

Michigan’s K.C. Lopata missed a 26-yard field goal with 4 seconds left, giving the Rockets a 13-10 win over the once-mighty Wolverines.

Toledo coach Tom Amstutz, who has spent most of his life in the city just south of the Michigan border, gazed at the scoreboard displaying the stunning score as he celebrated on the Big House field.

Yeah..... I shouldn't of bought season tickets this year.

I remember the grand ole days when the program was solid and I could sell an OSU ticket for $600

Well at least Michigan can still hang their hat on one of the best fight songs in the nation and possibly the best stadium.

Hootenany · « **Reply #16 on:** October 13, 2008, 09:56:23 AM »

They really are this years Notre Dame. I predict they'll be back next year contending in the Big Ten. Everyone knew it would take at least a year to install the spread offense... especially without Pryor.

Proud Toledo alum! Until the last couple years, Toledo was good for one quality upset a year (although not Michgan) and they were in the rankings as much as any MAC team.

Agreed on the song, disagreed on the stadium. The Big House is a like a big high-school stadium (ala Elder's Pit) and is quite hideous (though I hope the renovation of it makes it look better *cough* HAYWARD *cough*).

Best fight songs?! A bunch of repeating half note scales is the best fight song?! Let me put it this way, Hail to the Victors was a practice lesson in my 5th grade band practice book. John Philip Sousa liked it just because of the tuba and lower brass parts...

As classic as it may be, musically it's about as basic as you can get (boring).

^You need to listen to the whole song! I present two examples below to illustrate the greatness and difficulty of the song. It's truly one of the best in college football.

(CNN) -- Urban Meyer
Football or health? The Florida head football coach will not step down but instead will take an indefinite leave of absence, he said Sunday. Sports Illustrated reports that Meyer said being with his players at a "spirited practice" Sunday morning persuaded him not to resign.

On Saturday, he stunned the college football world when he announced he would leave Florida after five seasons because of concerns about his health. He was rushed to a Gainesville hospital December 6 after suffering major chest pains, and he said Sunday that he had experienced chest pains for the past four years.
