bigger than the super bowl in these parts!

I thought that we played a great game, but the Buckeyes were phenomenal. They really tore up our defense in the first half.

I thought it was pretty incredible seeing Mike Hart charging through a series of defenders, though.


The administration sent us an email about going to Ann Arbor, saying:

"Try carpooling to the game; if possible, drive a car with non-Michigan license plates. Keep your Michigan gear to a minimum, or wait until you are inside the stadium to display it. Stay with a group. Know and obey the laws regarding alcohol use. If you are of legal age to drink, use alcohol in moderation. Stay in the blue. Stay low-key; don't draw unnecessary attention to yourself. If verbally harrassed by opposing fans, don't take the bait. Avoid High Street in Columbus."


I was actually in Columbus that morning for a crew (rowing) race against OSU, and it was pretty intense just being there. Even forty miles out from Columbus, 4 out of 5 people were wearing Buckeyes shirts. They stationed a big state trooper in a black bandana to watch over us, and our trailer was guarded by a scary huge black truck. Luckily we left Columbus 5 hours before the game started, and there weren't any problems at all.

And we cleaned their clocks on the water!
