"I think of Soltan as the Maureen Dowd of the blogosphere,
except that Maureen Dowd is kind of a wrecking ball of a writer,
and Soltan isn't. For the life of me, I can't figure out her
politics, but she's pretty fabulous, so who gives a damn?"

Then There's the
Michigan-Ohio State Game


Despite the game's billing as one of the most important college football showdowns in recent memory, the demand for high-priced tickets may no longer be greater than the supply.

A month ago, there were almost no ticket auctions on eBay that ended without a bid. Now there are tickets - mostly with opening bids of more than $1,000 per ticket - that go unsold.

This may be partly the result of concerns about safety in Columbus. Horror stories about the treatment of Michigan fans have stopped some fans from pursuing tickets.

[One student] said one of his roommates had planned on joining him but decided to stay home to avoid what [the student] called the "danger aspect" for Michigan fans.
