Ha ha. Coming from Ohio with two parents who went to Ohio State, I grew up with a rather different take on the rivalry. Sorry about your loss there, pal.

There's a pretty good documentary being shown on HBO about M-OSU this week. I don't know if it's the same one.

So last night on our public TV station there was a fascinating documentary on the history of the Michigan/Ohio State rivalry. Was it broadcast any where else? I didn't know Bo Shembechler (sp?) died.

you forgot the best part of the two point conversion story... When one of the Michigan players (I think it was Calvin O'Neil) was told that Woody had said, "Because we couldn't go for three", he replied by shaking his head and saying "oh, it is on".

At least, that is what i think happened.

Also, my favorite call from Bob Ufer. When OSU once kicked a game winning field goal, and the OSU crowd went wild (in columbus), he said "5,000 alumni, and 80,000 truckers go wild!" Best. line. ever.
