The Game: M 42 - "The" Ohio State 27 - Not Anymore. Post Game Thread.

At age 63 I never thought I would cross this off my bucket list. Best overall effort I've seen in several years. But truly the story was the offensive line. Simply put, they imposed their will; end of story.

Coach Howard congratulates Harbaugh during the post-game celebration.

I never realized how tall Howard is. Harbaugh is 6'4", and Howard is towering over him.

Roman Wilson hauls in a pass while Harbaugh watches in the background. This kid has quietly stepped up and has a promising future.

Hutch enjoyed meeting Stroud so much the first time he figured he'd go meet him again.

(chill out, OSU sympathizers ... we win once every 10 years .. gimme a break)

Mr. Ojabo takes a moment to introduce himself to Mr. Stroud.

Haskins chooses to fly high for this TD while OSU defenders enjoy the show.

Really happy for Jim Harbaugh

"What do you mean, the check didn't clear? ... I wrote it myself!!"

Wisconsin's defense can shut your offense down, they scare me far more than Iowa. Actually, Wisconsin's D has shut down everyone but M and Notre Dame.

I'm rooting for the Gophers (tied ATM), who can play defense themselves.

UNL racked up almost 500 yards on them

[THE_WIZARD_]

Congrats to all the M fans. This probably felt like when UNL and Oz finally beat OU in 1978...or when Oz conquered Miami in the Orange Bowl finally. Feels good. Happy for you guys but HARBAUGH!!! is still a schmuck...but happy for the M fans.

I've been rooting for M since 1964. I was in the stands when Bo beat Woody in '69. Setting aside recency bias this may be the most satisfying and uplifting Michigan win I've experienced. A lot of people don't like Jim Harbaugh but Ryan Day showed some dickishness when he and JH were both asked in pre-game interviews to say something nice about the opponents they were about to face. Harbaugh did his part, Day wouldn't.

In the post game interviews you may or may not have heard Hutchinson mentioning that the OSU players were doing a lot of disrespectful jawboning, stomping on jerseys ...... Hutchinson added, I guess we did the talking with our play today. None of this is new between these two football programs and their fans but when you have that kind of shit thrown your way then, on the field, you ass-rape those schmucks, it has to be pretty satisfying for the coaches and players. For me, living vicariously like I have through M football, this win was the best.
