It's a tough choice for the true Michigan man or woman.

Do they don sacrilegious robes and support regional nemesis Ohio State in the BCS title game Monday night at the Louisiana Superdome? Or do they oppose The Vested One in a battle against the Big Ten's national enemy -- the Southeastern Conference?

Also from the article:
The Big Ten is 14-12 against the Southeastern Conference in bowls since the advent of the Bowl Championship Series in 1998.

Easy answer.
The Big 10 followers stick together. I have numerous co-workers who graduated from "the school up north". W we root for U of M during bowl games, and they root for The Nuts at the same time.

I pulled for Perdue, Michigan State, Wisconsin, Illinois, Michigan and Penn State. I wouldn't have thought otherwise. We respect each other's programs and love their coaches. Anyone who has seen my numerous posts on Joe Pa and Mr. Carr will attest to that. Also, Ron Zook, was born about 10 miles away from my home town.

For what it's worth, Les Miles is from Elyria, Ohio (about 10 miles from my current home) and Urban Meyer is from Ashtabula (about 1 hour from me). They are all products of Ohio Football.

Ohio, the cradle of coaches!
