I was laughing and thinking the same thing! That's
almost too easy -- I wonder if any writers at the game
will pick up on it for the stories tomorrow. Sheesh.

Oh well, it'd have been nice for Big Ten pride, but
you can never be too sad to have OSU lose a game.:)

I remember a few years back when the Big Ten didn't
have a basketball tournament and the teams were having
a dry stretch in the NCAAs and the call was that the
league needed a tourney to "better prepare" teams for
March Madness (total hogwash, as Clem Haskins showed
in the year before the tourney began that all you
needed were a few creative tutors :) ) ... now we'll
have to see if the long layoff discussion after the
complete eggs laid by OSU and Michigan (along with the
BCS leapfrog game) will lead the Big Ten to perhaps
schedule games later in the season ... or at least
take the Pac 10 route and move one or two key games
back a couple weeks to give the league exposure and
keep teams "fresh."

Tomorrow we all start at 0-0 again and hope can spring
eternal for purple-clad enthusiasts. I'd love to see
"Phitz in Phoenix" next year ... or even better!

GO CATS!!!
