… for the whole state of Michigan.

This is pretty much the reason why I haven’t posted anything else this week, and it will be the reason why I won’t get to either of the subjects I promised a couple days ago. I’ve tried not to go too overboard with sports in Uncle Crappy, but the week of the Michigan game is a whole different deal. It’s pretty much all I can think about, even this year with all the other crap surrounding Ohio State athletics.

I have plenty of thoughts about that stuff, but I’m not going to get into it now. Maurice will still be there next week; so will Andy Geiger, Jim Tressel and the NCAA.

So this week, it’s just about the football. The Wife and I go to Columbus tomorrow night; we’ll do some football-related stuff during the day Friday (we may go heckle Dan Patrick when he does his Friday radio show from the Buckeye Hall of Fame Cafe), have a small pep-dinner with my folks and Fred and Ethel Friday night.

And we’ll be in the lot no later than 8 a.m. Sausage and beer for breakfast. Sweet Jesus…

And here’s the best part: Ohio State 23, Michigan 21. Take it … to the bank.
