Ohio State football fans aren’t going to let Michigan’s boasting go unanswered

To Brian: I got a chuckle out of Mickey Geslak’s take on Ohio State and Michigan’s newfound place at the top of college football world. Obviously Geslak had is head in the sand for the last 20 years. Ohio State was usually at the epicenter of college football for most of this period, amassing 12 major bowl or playoff wins, playing in five title games, winning two. Michigan has won exactly three major bowls or playoff games over the same span. Let’s not forget that Michigan took a powder on playing the Buckeyes in 2020, a sure victory for OSU, and then most likely cheated their way to victories in 2021 and 2022. Geslak and Michigan fans have always been a little touchy considering seven of Michigan’s purported national titles came before Charlie Chaplin was a movie star or most people had indoor plumbing.

To the editor: I don’t understand why Buckeye fans are upset about the Michigan championship. It’s their first undisputed in 75 years while the Bucks have won four. Also, OSU’s record verses UM is 40-32-3 during the last 75 years.Mick Hause, Pickerington

To Franz, Mick: Michigan earned the right to gloat. While the Wolverines cheated last year and the early part of this season, they put together a respectable late run to the title. Whether that title is taken away remains to be seen.
