I'm an equal opportunity o$u-michigan hater...

Depends on who losing will most adversely affect the conference formerly known as the Big Ten. With the tOSU win and Alabama loss, it appears that the conference formerly known as the Big Ten will likely be playing for a National Championship. That wouldn't be possible had tOSU lost----of course tOSU will still have to defeat Michigan State, but I bet the officials calling that game will be very aware of the advantages that a win by tOSU affords the conference .

Though that can backfire ... look at Bama's extra second giving them a chance for a long kick to avoid extra time ... only to be returned for a touchdown by Auburn.

Both teams have legions of "Walmart" fans, a good chunk of which went to our fine MAC schools. I wish both could lose, but since I happen to live in MI and am surrounded by UM's insufferable fans, I root for OSU in this case.

An earthquake/tornado combination during the game...

Cheer for a 0 - 0 final score, screw them both.

Well, you do have to admit that although it may not have turned out the way they wanted, it did definitely helped them avoid an overtime

Don't really care...was a mild UM fan in my youth (parent's were both from Detroit and my Uncle a UM grad). I grew to hate both UM and OSU but I have to admit that I like Brady Hoke and would like to see him perservere at Michigan.

Neither of my parents went to a B1G school, and I wasn't raised to have a particular allegiance to any. So I am pretty neutral on the Michigan / Michigan State thing. Having said that, I will always root for a Michigan school against OSU.

The interesting question now is: which players might be suspended for part or all of their next games?

Because the ejections occurred in true first half, there is no further suspension is what I heard.
