One possible option: The Falklands War. The Argentinians were trying prove a lot with that. It was on home ground. The British were in Thatcher-era draw down from its post-WWII global force projection to meet its more efficient Western Europe defense commitments. The UK had to travel into the worst possible climate conditions and the Argentinians failed to use all their local advantages against the UK. However this one fails because the Argentinians were a conscript army not a massively funded professional army. Will have to think on this one.

I'm very interested to see "Desmond Was Tripped" diary on this game in the MGOBLOG. What this was in military history was a shocking victory over a hubris-addled opponent on its home court by a force that was without its most reliable weapons but which had a few significant advantages that the hubris-addled opponent insisted on fighting right into the teeth of to prove itself. Maybe the flag skirmish is the better story of that. Maybe OSU are the German veterans returning from WWI to stories of the stab-in-the-back from all the things the Nazis said were the cause of that.

Co-worker who is part of our Michigan fan cluster which has formed in my part of the office dropped Michigan 'M's on the desks of the OSU fans in the office and on different floors. No word on if he was thrashed by Jack Sawyer or if Jason Avant had to rescue the 'M's.

If any of these MAGA creeps were anti-war they would oppose Putin.

This Sawyer character needs to be suspended for the OSU bowl game.

Gaetz didn't get approved.

I don't think the Senate can allow the guy in charge of the largest and most powerful military in the World to be a recess appointment. I think the Senate will have to fight these garbage nominations done probably just to placate his lunatic base.

Tulsi is the real prize Putin wants. Patel is so loathsome to the Senate that something will slip in the wake of this one. If its Tulsi that's really bad.

Hegseth nom will have to overcome "quality control" https://bsky.app/profile/mcbridetd.bsky.social/post/3lccx3napya2o

I would guess that the Hegseth and Patel nominations are in trouble with the Senate. I feel like Trump had to try to ram those through to keep the Proud Boys, certain internet figures, Bannon, etc. on his side.

Putin definitely wins if Kash Patel is allowed to be FBI Director.

They want to return to pre-MLK, pre-civil rights, Mississippi Burning.

‪George Bredewoud‬ ‪@gwbutrecht.bsky.social‬ · 4m The next four years of American Horror Story will unfold in the White House. It’s unbelievable we’ve come to this. The world watches in dread as sociopath Trump and his cronies steer the U.S. towards ruin, dragging NATO and climate efforts down with them.

Michigan planted the flag 2 years ago. This is: fake crisis that really is about OSU program lacking leadership.

the Michigan DB room did yeoman's work. Makari Paige...was he really a factor before today?

The upon further review that came out of the 2021 game was Seth's best work ever... this deserves something as good. Upon Further Review 2021: Offense vs. Ohio State | mgoblog

Kalel Mullings calling the OSU program classless!

Baker Mayfield got away with that...what are those bitches crying about?

Wave bye bye!

Plant that flag!

Shock and awe!

Sherone Moore waving goodbye to the Buckeye fans!

Michizvada! Oooh...i want that on a t-shirt

Which is worse. Being given a cupboard barren of all the NFL draft picks and FAs and still winning a road game in your most important rivalry with your two best players out Having the best recruiting and NIL situation north of Tuscaloosa and a team full of 5* and not winning for 4 years?

You can't spell medayiocre with without the letters D-A-Y.
