The face of Today’s Republican Party: This is what’s wrong with America. At the first tailgate of the year I witnessed this man consuming more resources than a small African nation. If you look closely you can see his Orange “W in 2004” hat. Great, just great.

Photo’s from Ohio State’s season opener against Cincinnati. The Buckeyes begin the 2004 campaign with a 27-6 victory over the Bearcats.

Later tomorrow I will describe my epic journey getting to the game and returning home via the Public Transportation System I swear revenge upon: COTA.

Sacrilege: Rose Bowl cedes to greed.

The Rose Bowl has put together a package to lure an NFL franchise to Southern California once again. The proposal to revamp the College Football Shrine includes luxury boxes and reducing the seating capacity to 65,000 from 93,500. This move will send shockwave’s from Eugene, Oregon all the way to State College, PA. The Grand Daddy of them all is selling its’ soul to the League.

1948 – Michigan 49 USC 0
Fritz Crisler’s undefeated Michigan (9-0) puts on one of the greatest displays of passing and running to trounce Jeff Cravath’s USC (7-1-1) by a margin of 49-0. Spinner plays featuring Robert Chappuis and Jack Weisenburger chew up the Trojans, and Chappuis passes make them dizzy. Weisenburger scores three touchdowns in the rout. Among Chappuis’ favorite receivers in his 188-yard aerial show are Bump Elliott, Howard Yerges, Dick Rifenberg, Gene Derricotte, Bobby Mann and Bruce Hilkene. USC gets beyond mid-field only twice as Michigan’s defense matches its potent offense.
