Did you hear about the guy that moved from Ohio to Illinois?

He raised the IQ of two states.

Yup, here too! In fact, even where you are might be considered by some to be the East Coast, Jeff.

Try moving to Ohio. That'll work too.

Very true. Referees usually get off the floor as fast as possible. If I was coaching, and noticed the officials were still around, I think I would know something was up.

I will put it to you this way. How many Ohio State Grads cannot read?

Peace.

Iow, same old, same old.

The MAC has supported the officials for their handling of the end of the game; Dakich was reprimanded for his comments. Below is a link to the ESPN.com story.

Rut:

Everybody knows my propensity to beat a dead horse, but by your logic of Buffalo being on the east coast because New York State is on the Atllantic Ocean is like saying Pittsburgh is on the east coast because Pennsylvania is on the Atlantic Ocean.

And far fewer OSU grads cannot read that UM grads.

Of course everybody in Ohio knows how to find UM, go north until you smell it, then west until you step in it.

I am done beating this dead horse.

But one other thing, Rut, the last two quarters of the Rose Bowl and the last three quarters of the BCS Bowl were five of the worst quarters of bowl play that I had seen OSU and UM play, and I always route for the Big 10 during the bowl games. I really felt bad for the UM players, because I really thought that their overall season was more indicative of their team than the Rose Bowl. And as a YSU grad, Jim Tressel's teams rarely get beat like they did to Florida. Just a bad night for both teams.

Rut, have a good remainder of your basketball winter season.

Mark,

The only thing standing between your statement and the truth are the state of New Jersey, the Delaware River and Bay.

A better analogy is to claim San Francisco is a US/Mexico border town because California is on the US/Mexican border.

I like your analogy, but where the Philadelphia Naval Yard located.
