Idolatry Reigns

Today is the day that many Ohioans (and for sure, Michiganders) just seem to lose it. They just seem to let everything go - that is, except for OSU football. Today OSU goes up against Michigan, and this is apparently the most heated and contested football even ever!

I mean seriously, on the television news reports they are advising Michigan fans (are those even legal in this state?) not to wear Michigan clothing, to not drive cars with Michigan plates, etc...Truly does it get that bad?!

There is the typical dumpster and couch burnings (scary how that is so typical) but there are also 'curfews' that are being set. Students who live in the dorms are required to check in at 10pm, 12am, and 2pm. If they do, they are entered into a lottery for some big bowl game or something. How crazy is that? For protection of the people and property, the institution must go so low as to brib the students!?!

Yes my friends, idolatry reigns at OSU! I am so tempted to wear my Michigan sweatshirt today, but I ask if it is worth it? Should I end my life now, just to make a statement. I mean, that's what the news broadcasts are implying right - that wearing a Michigander enblem will mean absolute pain if not impending death, right?

Well, I'll pass on that today, but I ponder the insanity that is found in this love of hometown football.
