I had a very enjoyable Saturday watching history be made in college football. For the first time in my life, the Michigan Wolverines and the Ohio State Buckeyes lost on the same day…

Having grown up with SEC football, I'm not much of a Big Ten fan. While Saturday was enjoyable in part because both Michigan and Ohio State lost, it helped that my own team, the Tennessee Volunteers, made easy work of Arkansas and seemed to play good defense for maybe the first time this year.

The Olympic Spirit Blog has some good pictures of the Ohio State game online. I liked the comment by this Illinois fan: "After years of having to suffer as a fan while Ohio State trounced my team, it is great that we ended their bid for the national championship!"

Armchairgm had a nice pun in his blog title: Ohio State Juiced by Illinois. Illini QB Juice Williams was the story of the day, throwing four touchdown passes.

For some reason it was hard to find many quotes from Buckeye fans in the blogosphere.

I watched the Michigan game during commercials breaks in my Arkansas-Tennessee match-up. One sports blog called the game between Michigan and Wisconsin irrelevant. Michigan and Ohio State still face off for the Big Ten title next week. But pride is never irrelevant - at least not in football.

Too bad they can't both lost again next week…
