  Ah... there's nothing like the satisfaction of watching Michigan kick Ohio State's ass. OSU put up a great fight and even grabbed the momentum a couple times. But the Buckeyes were outmatched and after a season of pulling out wins at the last minute against opponents, the Bucks ran into a defense they couldn't overcome.
The final score: 35 to 21. I was on pins and needles for the whole game. But it was a classic matchup... the 100th meeting of two great teams, riveting action, and the best team won. We set another NCAA record for attendance at hallowed Michigan Stadium yesterday... 112,118. It's the first crowd larger than 112,000 in the history of the NCAA. The Bucks fans I ran into around town were courteous; I saw none of the shit you see in games involving other rivals.
Not to say it didn't happen, but I didn't see it. The Michigan/Ohio State rivalry runs deep, but, for the most part, it's not a rivalry of trash talk. These are two top notch teams and we all know it. And most of us respect each other. It was a geat football Saturday. Michigan is now #5 in the BCS rankings and goes to the Rose Bowl. There's always the very slight chance that the right combination of upsets could lead us to the Sugar Bowl.
But I wouldn't bet on it. I wish more gay guys cared about football. I don't devour Sportscenter or The Sporting News, but I love college football and what I'd love would be a gay sports bar to go watch football. The bar here in Ann Arbor tried opening early on Saturdays for the games a few years ago, but no one ever came, so I guess that's the answer to my question about the popularity of the concept.
No mean comments about gay men... I guess most of us just aren't going to come running to watch football.
