Countdown to Showdown (November 14, 2006)

COUNTDOWN to the SHOWDOWN:

4 Days, 3 Hours, and 30 minutes.........

What would it be without a couple of updates during the most exciting week in preparation for the biggest game of the Year - Decade - Century(?)

Overheard at the OSU Press Conference:

1. "Don't destroy Columbus." Troy Smith
2. "Don't destroy Columbus." Jim Tressel
3. "Don't destroy Columbus." Mayor of Columbus....
-all in reference to the riots of 2002 after OSU beat Michigan to go on to win the National Championship......


Jeez, these clowns are beginning to sound and look like MSU all the time. That's why you have to love Michigan's motto, "Act like you've been there before."


Overheard at the Michigan Press Conference:

1. "What would you say to someone who says that Tressel has Coach Carr's number."
"He should call him sometime." Senior Safetty Willis Barringer.


Number one Pick-Up line Overheard on High Street in Columbus:
"Nice Tooth!"


How do you know if an OSU football player is dating?
There's Tobacco spit on both sides of the Pick-up.......


From an Article in the Columbus Dispatch talking about Traitors who left ohio to play for Michigan......

Jeff Reeves uses his bling to block out unwanted noise. "I flash my ’97 national championship ring at them to get them to back off a little bit," he said. "I respect Jim Tressel," Reeves said. "But their fans are obnoxious. What I have a problem with, being a Michigan fan in Columbus, is that people here can’t leave it salone. They talk about it all year round." Reeves expects to hear some comments Saturday when he watches the game on the Wolverines’ sideline as part of a Michigan recruiting trip made by his son Darius, a Gahanna junior running back. And he expects he’ll have clean-up chores at home, too, because of some OSU zealots.
"They’ll toilet paper my yard in Blacklick," Reeves said with a laugh. "I know they will. That’s OK, I’m fine with it. It’s about class. Michigan fans have class. Ohio State fans have a one-track mind: football and drinking beer. Win or lose, those idiots will tear up the city."
