I sure hope the best team doesn't win, because this year that means we will lose (I fear I won't have to watch past halftime...but I won't be sober enough to care by then anyway). We have been pretty horrible.
Speaking of outhouse...glad to see the OSU research department is doing some groundbreaking things

Plenty of urine in Ohio State lake
COLUMBUS, Ohio — Intrepid Ohio State University researchers have learned students don’t just party in a campus lake during rituals before the annual Michigan game.
They also excrete there.
Thousands of students will jump into Ohio State’s Mirror Lake tonight, ahead of Saturday’s
Before, during and after last year’s big swim, the College of Earth Sciences monitored the water quality.
Postdoctoral research associate Steve Goldsmith says the lake’s temperature went up 3 degrees throughout the night, and the ammonia level surged. He says body heat could explain the warmer water, but the ammonia likely means one thing: urine.
Goldsmith advises students to have fun, just not open their mouths.
Maybe they can do some groundbreaking research on the urine content of the Ohio River next or public swimming pools.
