PersonalSay what you will about the need for a playoff and I'll agree with almost all of it. Nonetheless, today is a happy day for me on two levels:
- As an LSU alumus
- As a kid who grew up in Ohio, but just 45 minutes south of Ann Arbor
Growing up in Toledo, you had to pick. You had to. Michigan or OSU; there was no fence-straddling; once you picked, a hatred for the other somehow wove itself into your very core. I picked Michigan. OSU was over 2 hours away, Michigan had cooler helmets and Michigan also had Anthony Carter at the time. Electric.
As an LSU alum, I'm an LSU fan (of course). There's nothing cooler than showing up to class on a Thursday morning during football season, parking in the shadow of Death Valley and right next to an RV (one of many) that's already started tailgating for the game on Saturday. Great atmosphere, great school and great people. I wish I could've been there last night.
As a Michigan fan, I am an ardent, and sometimes vocal, OSU anti-fan. The last four years have been rough. Really rough. I mean really rough. If both of my teams had lost to OSU this year I might've needed (more) therapy.
