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.

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.

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.

Are any people in the Michiverse bringing up what would be the ultimate kick them when they are down move?

Getting Danarys Ellison to pony up however many millions it would take steal superstar WR Jeremiah Smith.     OSU fans would absolutely lose their ****.

We knew the Kirk Campbell move was coming.  Glad it wasn't allowed to linger into the bowl prep.

Unless you are already on a great NIL deal, it makes the most sense for every player to put their name in the portal every season.

Somebody had to pay for the embarrassing offensive display this season.

Gonna be an important day in Michigan football history.   Hopefully they can get a class they can win a natty with in 2 years.

Super important day but I think the portal will be more important if they want to get back to the crystal that quickly.

no argument on the relative merits but, the most recent Nat championship was flavored with portal guys not entirely built from them.   We might have to do it the portal way to get it in 2 but the QB is the most important component and he's gonna be playing in year 2.

Plus shatter the idea that the SEC is the only place people care about college football.
