The original history lessons from Altie were moved out of public view and for good reason. This post was being made on my phone while this was happening. I chose to post it here not to renew that awkward conversation but to clarify how BP works.
That's a sufficiently smug response and I'm sure it made you feel proud of yourself and your immense football wisdom, that you learned on ESPN and Yahoo, for a moment.
Now, allow me to be just as smug and arrogant in my reply, although I do seem to understand things a bit more than you do.
if you'd like to be asked to leave, by all means...
Erase 1941. That was a horrible decision and I often wonder why that year is included. As for all the others, valid is really the only way to describe them.
Just because Ohio State was horrible team in the '20's and for most of the 30's, it's no reason to believe that other teams weren't highly successful during this time period.
Keep trolling and misunderstanding your place on this board.
We welcome thoughtful visitors who can talk football and back up their arguments. That includes reasons that the opposition is better or will win, assuming substance backs it up.
This is not a college football board or subscription site. It is a buckeye centric, homer board. As such, there will be times where our fellow buckeyes get snippy (and we will moderate that as well). That does not justify any incendiary posts that hit the entire board with their childish explosions. It's not fair, but then that's common sense. I can't hop on a random Bama board and start hurling jabs just because some random poster treated me poorly. It's their board.
Along those same lines, we don't want to labor through thousands of words about the dream seasons and wonderful feelings involved just because you felt compelled to defend the honor of disputed championships. Choose your arguments and words wisely and succinctly.
Most of all, stop pretending this is a mindless free board to educate with your blessings of wisdom. Both programs have an extremely long history of winning and a wide spectrum of alumni. Unless you are 90 years old and oddly spending your last days squabbling on a message board, than chances are you are speaking from the same amount of perspective (or less) than many buckeye members here.
...edit: ok this part gets off the rails a bit but I'm leaving it in anyway.
P.s. I find it hilariously dense to think that we parrot what we hear on ESPN (I'm guessing you copied this from some truthbombs.doc file you keep with your cape ). We have a very visible and long standing hatred of that entertainment network and it's tmz drivel. Even if we were foolish enough to parrot what we hear on espn, in what bizarro world would such an act result in rhetoric that casts Alabama in a poor light ?
Edit: The fact that you copied and pasted this from countless other arguments is very sad. Rather than hold a civilized conversation, you bombarded us with a truth tsunami and did so with the humanity of a tech support line operator.
