I'm not what you could call the most prolific of posters, but there's a definite reason that I've got 800-ish posts here, and maybe 10 over there.

How 'bout we don't call in the cavalry on this one, and just let them wallow in their misery/delusion?

Face it people.

When you look at the bitterness that marks the "almost there" programs; you have to admit that these are people not that different from many of us here, but under very, very different circumstances.

I cannot even imagine what it would be like to be a fan of a team that had never quite been great since I was 3 years old. For many of the people on that board, MSU has never been truly great in there entire lifetime.

To belabor the point, that is unimaginable to Buckeye fans.

We are spoiled. I'm glad we're spoiled. I wouldn't have it any other way.

I've already heard it many times this fall--'Don't worry, basketball starts soon.'

A lot of the problem is that there's no reason for the football team to be lackluster. It's this weird kinda death spiral thing. The fans don't support the team because of the perennial collapse, and the team collapses because they've no support (not to mention the whole 'expectations' thing)

I know it's an oversimplification, but it's the impression I get around here.

That whole board seems to be stuck in the Cooper era.

Maybe because it was the last time they beat OSU!!!

Michigan State's last win in the series came on Nov. 6, 1999, 23-7, in Spartan Stadium.

Even better...he's a moderator.

...but in his defense it's actually kinda nice to a product of Sparty's vaunted "special ed" program keeping busy. :)



BTW Sushi if you want a little ammo to lob at the idiot for his rant calling you a liar...

"An interesting story is Javon Ringer of Dayton Chaminade-Julienne. Ringer rushed for 1,776 yards and 20 touchdowns in seven games before suffering a torn knee ligament.

OSU coaches have let Ringer know they want him but have not offered a scholarship. Academic concerns appear to be the holdup.

Apparently, Ringer may fall in the gray area between being an NCAA qualifier but not meeting Ohio State’s increasingly high standards. "

Chaminade-Julienne coach Jim Place said Ringer wants to play for Ohio State but is on the verge of moving on to another choice, perhaps Michigan State.

"Our lines are still open (to Ohio State)," Place said. "We’re just trying to work through the things that need to be done."

(click on the quote it will take you to the original article in the Dispatch)

Feel free to ask for the same in return regarding his claims that Buckeyes dropped Ringer because of his knee injury.

PS - Be sure to remind him of of Biggie Townsend & Brandon McKinney, both of whom matriculated to MSU because they couldn't pass Ohio State admissions. :)
