That would take a lot of spunk, dude.BucyrusBuckeye;1008742; said:I would like it better if I just hit all of them.
Yeah, Ohio State never sends anyone to the NFLGrizzlyBuck;1008467; said:The only way to get any national respect is to keep sending players to the NFL (and hyping it like USC does and Miami did) Or beat an SEC team in a meaningful bowl.
buckeyesin07;1008711; said:There wasn't anywhere near as much discussion of conference supremacy in general back in the mid-90s. Gatorubet, I'd like to hear your opinion on this, but I attribute most of this ridiculous "which conference is tougher" discussion to SEC fans, and I think their obsession with the argument arises primarily from Auburn's going undefeated a few years back but still getting shafted out of the NC game. It seems that SEC fans have an agenda of pumping up their teams so that such a result never occurs again. Now, why SEC fans seem to direct so much of their angst toward the Big Ten (especially considering UF made it in the NC game last year ahead of scUM), while ignoring the weakness in other conferences such as the Big East or ACC, evidenced by the fact that WVU's strength of schedule is nearly identical to that of OSU's, yet you hear much more complaining about OSU than you ever hear about WVU, is beyond me.
Gatorubet;1008830; said:I think you are right about a general sense of outrage when a really good Auburn team went undefeated and got left out. And this was rekindled when the Gators where fighting the ESPiN machine for the second spot in Phoenix. We heard endlessly why Michigan was the second best team from Herbie and Brent, who wanted the ABC affiliated schools over the CBS affiliated SEC schools, who had Danielson pimping as hard for us as Herbie was for Michigan.
I hadn't thought so much about it, but you are right, it has been a more recent thing. As far as Gators go, the Michigan versus UF battle for the right to play y'all was something that absolutely did raise emotions to a higher pitch, especially when Urban started campaigning and Carr started bitching about that and - you know - every fan base has a boat load of idiots who cannot keep perspective on an issue.

He says last years' OSU team was better. Yeah, maybe on offense. What seems to be lost upon most of the idiots that do not know anything about Ohio State football is that we had, what, 9 new starters on defense last year? We are way stronger on D this year. He makes WVU out to sound like they are road-runners with pads on. Uh, they just beat Cincinnati by 5 whole points before drubbing an overrated and horrendously shitty UConn team. It's just a typical blow-job by half-assed ESPiN "journalists".

"We need to have a "Hoosiers" type of ending to the season. There's a reason it's in the top three of almost everybody's favorite sports movies. We need to see the upset ? we need to see the little guy win it all once in a while. A Tiger/Mountaineer matchup would guarantee that.
Now, in a year when nothing is automatic, Missouri still has to beat Oklahoma in the Big 12 championship and WVU has to knock off Pittsburgh in the Backyard Brawl. That is not a guarantee even in the typical season, but let's hope that it happens.
We don't need to see the same old same old in the championship game this year. I have no desire to see Ohio State get back in the game. We saw them play in it last year and we'll probably see them play in it next year. They have the best players, the best facilities and the best tradition. But they lost to Illinois in the next-to-last game of the season and didn't really earn the right"
Oh wow. Comments?
