Finally, A Happy Thanksgiving: Hail to the Victors!

I once wrote: Happy Thanksgiving! When We Beat Ohio State. Given our track record for the last 20 years, I didn’t think that day would ever come. We beat them in 2003 when I was a student. We were robbed in 2006 by bullshit personal foul penalties. We beat them in 2011 when Luke Fickell had to fill in for a fired Jim Tressel. We almost had them in 2013 when Hoke went for two. We were robbed again in 2016 by inches (see Buckeyes Wolverines: Fourth & Short Trip Report Recap).

But that era of losing is over. This weekend we won. And we won big. As a fan of all sports in the underachieving state of Michigan, I don’t know what winning all the time feels like. I doubt it’s as thrilling when it happens every year (see Nick Sabanā€™s rant about ā€˜self-absorbedā€™ ā€™Bama fans may be the best thing youā€™ll see this year). We might lose the next ten but in the words of Bob Seger, “We’ve got tonight. Who needs tomorrow?”

Duck Ohio State!
