I watched all of his press conference today previewing the game with O$U. He never once used the term "Ohio" in reference to them. I wonder if he finally got the message.

GO BOBCATS!

he may have got the message but the 113,000 reported to be in attendance haven't. They were chanting beat ohio during the 4th quarter. I was sitting there in the southeast endzone wearing my ohio colors I should know. Oh I like Michigan but never believe that sellout b###. A large number of students don't show up those that do being late. The michigan announcers were calling on the university to sell those seats too those who want to watch the game. I guess our student section isn't so bad afterall.

I was there as well Dave and heard the chants....Don't get me wrong, I hate Ohio State and want Michigan to win this week, but doing it without calling them "Ohio" would be preferred.

GO BOBCATS!

I have reason to believe (more than idle speculation but not entirely confirmed) that Michigan's Legal Affairs Office may have registered an opinion with the president, who even at Michigan is a superior of the football HC, that a school in Athens, Ohio, may have a legal right to that name, that O$U has recognized same, and that there might be negative legal ramifications if Brady continued with his nonsense. Now, Brady may relapse occasionally, but I think he's been given marching orders on this matter. I guess we'll have to wait and see.

Edit: I do know as an absolute fact that back in the Glidden years the president sent a sharply worded letter to the Rose Bowl telling them to cease and desist in placing "Ohio" in the end zone when OSU was one of the teams in that bowl. They used to do that on a regular basis. They have never done it since. I suspect we might have a similar scenario playing out here.

couldn't agree more about not wanting to hear the ohio chant. sorry I sounded otherwise. Michigan is certainly a lot more fun to watch with a qb who can pass and a new threat at rb. Hmmm, a coaching staff that made adjustments.
