007 - someone up there hates this state

[whatwolverines]

[Few things in life make Griffin truly upset. Economic problems and Ohio, mainly. Today, one of those problems seems to have taken a new step in making him extremely upset, as with recent football announcements. Now, Griffin loves football a lot, and even his calendar has a countdown to opening day (same with hockey, and you're going down, Anaheim) with a cute little blue and gold 'M' on opening day's date. And for a long while, he was waiting for the news of when 'The Game' was going to be, being the infamous one day event where Ohio State and University of Michigan faced off and determined 364 days of either misery or happiness.

And then he got the news.

Like receiving news that a relative has died, Griffin is curled up on his couch (which somehow moved from one side of his living room to the other, but he doesn't care) and pissing and moaning like the world is going to end. It pretty much is, for him anyway. So what's this god-awful news? Well, thanks to some terrible decisions regarding football divisions...

Michigan and Ohio are playing two games.

That's two instances of fans nearly killing each other and people peeing in gas tanks and vandalism and two chances at being miserable for a year. Even the U of M-MSU rivalry hardly compares to U of M-OSU. This is a tragedy.

And so he sits, crying and raging in the midst of a temper tantrum. Any other decent year, he would probably be excited but he's had a losing streak to OSU lately, so this is devastating.]

Well, you'll get two big games now. Two times to grind them in the dirt under your massive foot!

[ That glint in her eye is just a little scary. ]

Isn't the fact it's not easy a challenge enough for you? Isn't the fact it's going to be hard more satisfying when it's finally done?

[ 'Almost' isn't good enough either for her but she's not gonna give up ever about such little setbacks. It strives her to win. ]

It'd be better if we stuck to one game. I mean, wha' if it's a draw? What're we gonna do, then?

Then you'd only count the second game, if you lose the first, you beat them the second time around~

[ The only logic that breaks this is the Arizona Cardinals. That was bullshit against the Packers. PURE BULLSHIT. ]

But wha' if it doesn' coun'? I'm screwed. 'sides, it's like a pride thing if ya win it. It won' feel half as good thinkin' that I only go' halfway, if tha's wha' happens.
