But again, in the hood, there was much excitement surrounding this game. It appeared there were more people in scarlet in gray than maize and blue but I'm not sure that meant much. Two houses in particular were locked in their own battle. Unfortunately, my house is positioned between theirs. Every time there was a score or a play there was yelling from door to door. By half time, the yells were unintelligible because too much beer had flowed. At the game end there was much bragging and some hand shaking and of course more drinking. I'm not exactly sure how the next part went down but after much hooping and hollering, the U of M fan hopped into the Power Wheels of the OSU fan's child and began to drive up and down the road (beer in hand) yelling happy gloats to all who would listen. Up and down and up and down (including a near miss with a real car). That is how we roll (pun intended).

OSU vs UM in T Town
So this is a "border battle" town so much excitement ensued on my block over the weekend. Border Battle is something of a mystery to me since most of the folks who live here did not attend either institution and there are plenty of teams in the states of Ohio and Michigan. I personally did not watch the game nor did I concern myself with the result. I learned the outcome of "the battle" on Facebook where people posted their excitement or disappointment.
