Live Blogging--Michigan v. OSU

Because seemingly I am watching the big game by my lonesome...I think it would be fun to live blog it as I have done for events in the past...so here goes nothing...

12:05....Everyone better shut-up about OSU going for 5 wins in a row over UM...its not going to happen.

12:08....I don't think I have ever liked Paul Magiure....and I don't think that will change today.

12:09....OSU gets the ball first...a good chance to see how UM's defense will play today

12:12....INT....Stevie Brown....GO BLUE!!! I'm excited

12:14....Key 3rd down for the offense....and we start it with a penalty

12:15....Hopefully our lack of a TD here doesn't cost us like last week...and we miss the FG.  Epitome of our season so far in the first few minutes of this game...

Now I am mad....

12:18...LOST promo makes everything feel better

12:20...Have I said that I don't the coaching staff? gesh

12:20....Tackle that punk!!

12:21...Griese's Game Plan for OSU...."Dominate"....what the heck does that mean

12:21...Nice third down stop..."You suck...you suck"

12:22...Odoms...couldn't catch the ball last week...and muffs the first punt he sees.  Killing me.

12:23...Nice horrible throw from Pryor...wow...

12:24....SACKED...Brandon Graham!! 10 sacks this year

12:26...our defense is giving us a chance...now if our offense could work some miracles and maybe move the ball a little bit....that would be great.

12:28...gosh our offense is sucky

12:33...man another sack on third down...a little Ironman should be played

12:34...nice punt...not so much...haha

12:35...is it so hard to gain yards on first down?

12:35...AVG yds per play...UM: 0.1...OSU: 0.6....and UM just went lower after being sacked.

12:36...Five straight three-and-outs combined...ouch

12:37...I've seen this somewhere before...huge run for Wells...and an OSU TD...yikes

12:38...I'd say that's Brandon Harrison's fault...you are a safety for a reason...

12:43...I think we need to try something different on offense...because we have like no offense

12:44...oh nice little tidbit...Michigan has the MOST three and outs in COLLEGE FOOTBALL

12:49....well we didn't get a first down in the first quarter...hopefully we get one in the second...*sigh*

12:53...double ouchie...our secondary has had its share of struggles this year....OSU 14-0

12:56....another LOST promo...helps numb the sting...

12:59...punt, punt, punt, punt, punt....the defense for OSU is always in the right play just like every other defense this year

1:05....Take that OSU...UM band was the first to do "script Ohio"...haha

1:07...there is something tacky about the Best Buy commerials were the sales people are telling these touching stories about the product they showed...

1:09....nice 4th down stop by Michigan....Let's get a first down!!!

1:11....could that be a first down?  Amazing!!  I didn't think it was possible....

1:13...Nick Sheridan is not very good...not very good at all.

1:14...yay going for it and getting it on fourth down!!

1:14...and another first down!!!

1:15...how many drops can Odoms have in a season...a million?

1:16....oh man...down to the one!!... come on give us the TD!!

1:17...under review...come on give it to Minor

1:18...let's go punch it in!!

1:20...GO FOR IT!!!

1:20....TD!!!! 14-7....Hail to the Victors!!!

1:21...Now at least I feel like we can be competative...lets keep it up defense...

1:22...its sad that I have to resort to playing my own band music to rile up a crowd of one!!

1:26...whooo...a sack by Jamison...wearing #78 instead of #90...I like it just the same...haha

1:28...one of the few times...I don't mind running the clock out of the first half...

1:28....nice big pass play though...maybe we shouldn't give up just yet

1:29...of course we run another stupid WR screen and have to use our last timeout

1:32....that was so stupid...4th and 6 with :14 seconds left...go for it...but no...delay of game...and punt

1:34...129 years Jim Tressel....129 years Jim Tressel

HALFTIME...I guess it could have been worse....but certainly it could have been a lot better.

1:52...Let's score on this opening possession...show we mean business in the second half.

1:56....Nice fake...fooled the cameras...

1:58...Now we are ripping off some nice runs...lets keep it up

2:00...Drive stalls...too many WR screens

2:02...Wow, seriously a repeat of the start of the second half last year....huge gaining runs and a TD by OSU...thats a tough one to swallow

2:08...Wow a draw play on 3rd and 11...that is why we have the most three-and-outs in football.  Thanks for the roughing the punter penalty though...

2:10...Have I mentioned I hate our no huddle offense?

2:11...Nick Sheridan not making a lot of fans today...least of all me

Nick Sheridan = Brad Johnson....yikes

2:16....Chris Wells out hurt?  That can only help us...

2:22....I like that big pass play!!! Then we follow that with a first down run...and then a million yard loss run...

2:22...3rd down and 15....we are at our best in these situations...yeah sure

2:24...When we can't even punt right anymore...you know something is not right...that is our specialty.

2:25...Well huge return gets turned into another OSU TD....this is not going well...28-7 OSU...*gulp*

2:28...Third string QB...this is going to be good...oh yeah

2:29...Not much different than the previous two...ineffective

2:30....The announcers are starting to become annoying with the OSU love...

2:32...There was holding on that play...we gave up a millon yards on it...Donavon McNabb style...barf

2:34...End of the third quarter...this lousy season is almost over...

2:36...Pick that off....That is why we don't win these kind of games!!!

2:38...Wow that might have been an actual INT...overturn it...give us a little hope

2:39...perhaps its for the best...

2:43...More LOST promos...make me smile despite the crappiness

2:45...Fumbled the kickoff return...I've this many many times this year...grrrr...Rich Rodriquez

2:46...Boy OSU fans are going to be insufferable...and sadly my brother is one of them...GO PSU!?!

2:47....42-7....was it really 14-7 at some point?  I can't recall...

2:50...Nice return by Odoms for what it is worth...

2:51...Oh thank heavens...Sheridan is back in...that will save us

2:53...Why don't they just marry Laurinitius?  It seems like they are willing...stupid laws

2:56...By saying they aren't cheering for somebody....kinda means they are...gross

2:57...Another deep bomb caught by OSU...I love this...I really do..."It's perfect" says Paul Maguire

3:00...This is going to be fun...can we add a safety to our offense's performance today...well...here is their chance being pinned back at the one...GO BLUE...ha

3:01...So close...maybe on second down....

3:04...Wow Michigan is 1-15 on third downs...now 1-16...that is terrific

3:10...We had a player of the game?  Who knew?  That honor goes to Brandon Minor...

3:11...I bet you can guess who was the OSU player was...

3:13...Well that was fun...

Wow this certainly adds the exclamation point to an extraordinary season (not in a good way)....
