No, I'm not going to the Michigan game this year, unfortunately. Rather, that headline above was what Luke Fickell told the annoying reporters the second time they pressed him at his news conference today on all the rumors swirling around about the Buckeyes Head Coach next year.
What Luke really said, in response to a question about what he knew was "I know that there's a game at noon on Saturday. My ass will be there," That ended the questions on the coaching situation and put the focus back on the game, where it should have been to start with.
With all the dirty water that is flowing under the bridge right now, you have to admire the way Luke stood in there and took all that crap, and never gave one little inch on his singular of purpose focus on winning this game. If you didn't get to see the short press conference, the O-Zone has the video of it.
John Porentas also has a nice column titled Fickell Gets It - Michigan Game Is The Yardstick It's a good read, and if you're feeling a little nervous about Saturday, well maybe it's the pick me up you need. Check it out. Go Bucks!
