    No it was my friend Tress vs LLLLLLoyd, (BTW Lloyd Carr was a fine gentleman but got whacked by OSU under Tressel.)

    ..... Lloyd Carr won four of his first five games against the Buckeyes, including two upset victories that ruined the national title hopes of Ohio State teams ranked second in the country. Jim Tressel was the fifth OSU coach to win his first game against Michigan and only the second to hold a 2-0 advantage over the Wolverines. Carr won a national championship in his third season. Tressel did him one better by winning the BCS title in his second.

    Carr gained his first win over Tressel in 2003. Tressel's Buckeyes salvaged a disappointing 2004 season by upsetting Michigan and depriving the Wolverines of an outright Big Ten title. The Buckeyes came from behind in 2005 to give Tressel his fourth win in the series and assure Ohio State a tie for the conference title. In 2006, the series' first showdown between #1 and #2 rated teams, OSU held on for 42-39 victory.

    In what would be Lloyd Carr's final game at Michigan Stadium, the Buckeyes clinched a third straight Big Ten title with a 14-3 win, giving Tressel a 9-1 record against Michigan. The Buckeyes 42-7 win in 2008 was their largest margin of victory since 1968's 36 point advantage. In the final game at the "old Michigan Stadium" in 2009, a big contingent of OSU fans saw the Buckeyes roll to a 21-10 win. The 2010 game opened with a scoreless first quarter and Michigan pulled within three at 10-7 in the second quarter. Jordan Hall returned the ensuing kickoff 85 yards for a touchdown to set a Buckeye series record. OSU ran off 27 unanswered points to secure a dominating 37-7 win......

    I didn't realize the Carr era started when Tressel took over.

    Youngstown Boys, am I right? Wink wink nudge nudge

    Any chance of him winning ended....whether he retired or not.

    Maybe everyone will be taking a back seat to Washington this year.

    Fair to say?

    I don't know any Michigan fan that legitimately thought last year was "our year". We were in year 1 of Harbaugh vs what was supposed to be the most talented OSU team ever (that then under performed). I mean sure, I thought it would be closer. We were down to a 3rd string DT and already struggling against spread style teams (ex: Indiana). Turns out Durkin was a great DC, just not against spread style offenses like OSU.

    As of now I believe we have the top defense in the country. We'll see if we can keep that up. I'm now much more interested in the Indiana vs Michigan game than I was at the start of the year.

    We have a pretty outstanding defense as well in case you haven't heard. And we've already had our bye so your defense has an extra game with of stats at this point.

    But like I've said Michigan does look pretty good. No doubt about that. It's good for the B1G and I don't hate Michigan quite as much as Pittsburgh so I'm OK with it, but I'm not okay with losing to them.

    Here are some stats on where these teams rank defensively in the FBS:

    Total Defense:

    OSU 3rd

    Mich. 5th

    Passing defense:

    Mich 3rd

    OSU 5th

    Rush defense:

    OSU 7th

    Mich 19th

    Sacks:

    Mich 2d

    OSU 69th

    but: Ohio U 1st!!!

    Interceptions

    OSU 4th

    Mich 32nd

    "Defensive Efficiency" (not sure how this stat is figured)

    Mich 3rd

    OSU 4th

    (Alabama 1st)

    Scoring defense:

    Michigan 1st 10.3

    Ohio St. 2d 10.8

    So, yes, fair to say....they both have good defenses.

    Well, how about if you just petition the mods....Zombo....to install an auto correct so that so that just like "Retard" any time anyone types the name Harbaugh on here that it autocorrects to "Booger".

    My YSU Penguins played WVU early this year on a really hot day in Morgantown and was leading for a part of the first half, tied at halftime 14-14 until WVU finally put them away 38-21. 1-AA vs 1-A is generally a tough matchup.

    And I was told by some West by God Virginia people it's WVU not WV. πŸ˜‰

    No. Because WSU has been killing the same teams.

    Bama and OSU still own the right to be called the top teams. I guess Clemson too

  • More defensive stats:

    - S&P+ believes we would give up 3.7 points to the average D1 team. Clemson is 2nd at 10.3

    - We're also #1 in YPP allowed, YPA allowed, RZ trips allowed and TFL.

  • Also #1 in boogers eaten on camera

    Maybe those Washington Schools are better than we think. Could be. No telling at this point. They only play fellow Pac 12 teams from now on.

    Washington may be the real deal....but I don't know about WSU....they lost to bother Eastern Washington and Boise st.

    There should never be any point made on here beginning with "we would". Tell us what you did, not what someone thinks you would do.

    S&P believes Scarlett Johansen would want to ravish my naked body......so, maybe you have a point there.

    But stop derailing the thread everyone. How bout that #1 team in Texas, Houston Cougars? Maybe 2-loss TCU can fill the void. And let's not forget Tessitore's proclamation that "TEXAS IS BACK FOLKS."
