That’s just glorious, LOL! :)

Makes more room for us Wisconsin Badgers, though we’re nothing to write home about this season. ;)

Even more meaningful because Hugh Hewitt is a buckeye.

Ohio State and Michigan are chronic underachievers in big games. This has been true for years. I think it has to do with the entitlement mentality embedded in their athletic programs, and this creeps into the kind of kids they recruit. Michigan football may have been humiliated to the point that they’ll finally realize no one in the Big Ten is intimidated any more, and the team may grow some character. Maybe.

One team stands for Old Glory and knees before God to honor Him.

The other team takes a knee to disrespect Old Glory and to honor BLM thugs.

Excellent game outcome.

Right. Being the object of jokes makes this so sweet. Remember when "half-sized" Ollie was going to the line in the film Hoosiers? The sense of drama peaked when that tall forward jostled him and added, "I didn't know they grew them so small on the farm."

ORU!!! The victims of cancel culture thank you.

Forgive my ignorance in this area.

Is there an elimination of the Ohio team after just one game?

Oral Roberts died in 2005.

Maybe you’re thinking of his son, Anal Roberts.

Shocked UF beat Va Tech, although they almost blew it.
