As I've mentioned before, Northwest Ohio tends to be Ground Zero for all the Ohio State-Michigan sports rivalries, and normally the weekend of the football game is hard enough as it is. Seriously, if you think the rivlary is big where you are, you have no clue how heated it gets around these parts.
This coming weekend ... let's just say that everyone here is making plans to stay in the house all day Friday and Saturday. In all seriousness, between tensions, anger, and of course all the people who can't seem to "enjoy" an event like this without getting massively drunk, I just don't think that being out this weekend is going to be a very smart idea.
A question for those of you who follow college sports more than I do (which is probably most of you): I keep hearing that other teams are still considered to be "in the hunt" for a bid at the BCS title game. However, given that the third through fifth ranked teams all lost this past week, and there simply aren't any unbeaten teams that would come close to cracking the top five in any polls, is there not every chance that Ohio State and Michigan will meet again in January for the title game? A quick look at ncaasports.com says that the title game will be between the teams ranked #1 and #2 by the BCS formula, and doesn't say anything about the teams needing to be from separate conferences or anything like that.
