Enemy of my Enemy

Buckeyes really do root for whoever is playing Michigan...especially whoever beats Michigan!

That's the newest trend among Ohio State fans, whose latest fashion statement is in the colors of Appalachian State, which shocked then-No. 5 Michigan 34-32 on Saturday in the first win by a Division I-AA team over a ranked I-A team.

Hours after the historic defeat, at least one street vendor was doing brisk business selling freshly minted Mountaineers T-shirts near the Ohio State campus. And local stores say they've been swamped with requests for gear bearing the Mountaineers' gold and black colors and logo, as Buckeyes fans take glee in the humiliation of their bitter rival.

I was at Jason's during the game; i almost felt a little bad with how much pleasure i was taking in Michigan's humiliation - almost.

We didn't get the game on TV here, but my parents mailed us a videotape of it. :)
