Tonight is sad in Ann Arbor...

And anywhere else in the world where there is a University of Michigan fan. Michigan lost to Ohio State.
*sigh*
This is so wrong. 3 points! 3 friggin' points!!
For those of you not familiar (and have you been living under a rock??), the Michigan v. Ohio State rivalry has been going on for years. It can pit family against family, neighbor against neighbor. In Ann Arbor, it literally becomes a Blood Battle as both schools try to donate the most blood during drives held in the weeks leading up to the big game.
The loss was made even more poignant by the passing of Ex-Football coach Bo Shembeckler. This man epitomized team loyalty...leading Michigan to the most winning seasons ever under one coach (something like 17 out of 21).

It's so sad. I'm going to have to go watch Serenity tonight, just to make up for it.

A fellow in the subway tonight wore a Harvard shirt that made me smile. It noted that Harvard is the Michigan of the east (to be fair, the shirt was blue and gold :)

I'm pretty sad for the Big Blue.
