The collective blue balls I'm getting reading these posts from Bama fans (not just on these boards) that have no idea what's coming is either going to give me the most wonderful hypothetical climax ever or destroy me as a person.

So yea, can't get here soon enough.

So, if history does not count, why even bring up Ohio State past bowl struggles against the SEC?

History does count. Ask any oddsmaker.

OSU beat IL THIS season. History/Past Performance does not count. New teams next fall. History-OSU gets beaten when they play SEC schools in bowls.

Ok. But my argument would be that what OSU teams did in years past (no current players involved) would be worthless. An OSU team playing Illinois next year would have more impact because approx 75% of the team would have been involved in the whooping, give or take.

Didn't you just say "History/Past Performance does not count" a few posts above?

Well, there is reason to believe that maybe this year will be better than the last.

Last time Urban Meyer played in a championship game that everyone said his team had no business playing in, he demolished that team. How's that for history?

I do not recall that, but I'll take your word for it.

This is where you've lost the plot.
Most gambling has little to do with actual results and everything to do with balancing perceptions.

Reading these last twenty pages, I am reminded of the Emperor when he said,"Good. Good. I can feel your anger!"

 

[kujirakira]

Don't mistake mocking derisiveness towards the "SEC SEC SEC" inanity for anger
And Mili is always an "angry" poster. We could be discussing Maui vs. Kauai and he'd be just as blunt.
