ESPN (A bunch of Death-Spiraling maroons)

[Coqui]

We were preseason #10/11 in 2007, coming off a title game loss, and then went 11-2 and ended #4/5. Not a championship team, but still, that's underrated.

I meant more the final ranking of #2

Well that is true. The other thing is that I live in Seattle so I'm the only buckeye fan amongst all my friends and coworkers. They like to bust my chops about it whenever they get the chance and they all feel that OSU is overrated and shoved down everyone's throat by the likes of ESPN. So maybe over time that has distorted my own perception with regards to the overrated thing. As others have pointed out, I certainly was mistaken in my views on that.

I do stand by my statement that every fan base thinks the media hates their team

A big culprit in this for you is probably two-fold: 1) The last time the Huskies were actually really good was going on 20 years ago and 2) the Buckeyes beat them in Seattle within the last seven years. As for Wazzou, who cares?

Down here in Oregon, I get a little bit o' shit about the Buckeyes, but not much since the Rose Bowl game. I've never heard a soul talk about the Buckeyes being on ESPN too much. Obviously much different states though.

No offense but your friends are idiots.

Dude he already admitted he lives in Seattle.

For those interested Chris Stassen keeps a running chart of the most over/underrated Div 1 teams on his webpage.

They still do gamewatch events at Jillian's on Westlake?

Yeah, but our fan base has a reason to think that way... :)

On a side note: I met just about the only guy from ESPN who doesn't seem to be a raging doucher, Jay Bilas at the Ohio Union tonight. Down to Earth guy. Carry on.

Jay Bilas is good people.

bilas is my favorite analyst: fair, rational, and unbiased.

I could listen to Bilas and Bobby Knight doing basketball games all season long. I learn from Knight and Bilas is just spot on with everything.

Did you ask him why the rest of ESPiN is a bunch of jack wagons?
