Findlay? For gosh sakes, Findlay?!?

Mark, I'm more than willing to mention Appalachian State to various esteemed, blue members of our forum. But now this?!? It's enough to make the rest of us Big 10 fans cringe...

I am not going to make any excuses. The University of Findlay (which happens to be just fifty miles south of Toledo down I-75) is one of the top Division II basketball programs in the country (currently ranked 5th in the nation) and lost last Thursday to the University of Dayton, 81-78. The Oilers men's basketkball program is one of the best in the country. Last year they were 29-2 and were the GLIAC regular season and post-season tournament champions before losing in the second round of the NCAA Div. II tournament.

Mark, this sounds eerily similar to the excuses...er, reasons Rut gave for Michigan losing to Appalachian State. Maybe the two of you are more alike than you thought.

Maybe Ohio State and Michigan fans really can get along!

Maybe dogs and cats really can live together!

Absolutely NOT!! I didn't derive any pleasure from seeing OSU get beat by UF in basketball, but the facts are facts, UF has a quality program. As to that school up North, Appalacian State did a number on them and my sons and I just loved how the game ended. We only regret that Appalachian State couldn't have scored a touchdown on the blocked kick at the end of the game. Jim Tressel owns Lloyd Carr, just like he owned Gerry Foust at The University of Akron (Foust was 1-8-1 against Tressel and YSU. That is why Zips joined the MAC so they wouldn't have to play the Penguins anymore.)

They certainly lost together today.
