Blame it on me.
Did you see the MSU - UM finish? I was just watching a little of that game and the Spartans were blowing them away 20-6, and had the game well in hand, so I went out to do some yard work. Next thing I know one of my neighbors (who is the scourge of the neighborhood being a Michigan fan) comes running out hollering how the funny stripped helmets just scored and they are going to win the game.
I went back in to watch the overtime. Now we don't play Michigan State, and they have already lost in the conference, and it would really be best for our national ranking if the funny helmet team is undefeated when we go up to beat them in that hole in the ground.
Even so, I just couldn't bring myself to root for them. So blame it on me...I started cheering for the Spartans again and low and behold they pulled it out. So even though the other way around would have been better for the Buckeyes, congratulations to Coach Dantonio! Even though he wears the green now, he once was one of us, and he's one of the good guys in college coaching.
