Pretty awesome doc (non mich/osu fan), really enjoyed it, too bad this thread is full of retarded arguing.

Did the reporter with the uneven goatee send anyone else on tilt?

No, he wasn't too bad.

The only thing that tilted me was that Ohio State alums/fans had 3 or 4 analogies that made no sense. If I rewatch it then I'll post them here. Probably hick quotes that you only get if you're a Buckeye fan.

The one objection I heard (and I have yet to see it) is that, from about 1990 on, they focused solely on the Buckeyes, the horror of the Cooper Era and rebirth under Tressel. This is a reasonable storyline, I guess, but they could probably have also focused on the season-saving joy that 95 and 96 brought and the lead-in to the great 97 season. Also, no one talked to Carr, and if I understand correctly this was simply because they didn't contact him, despite him being 1) the current coach and 2) being on the sidelines since 1980. I realize Lloyd is not the most open with the media but I think he could give some interesting thoughts on the rivalry.

They did mention the 91 and 95 games. that was it. I actually remember being shocked there wasn't even any mention of the 100th meeting in 2003.
