QB Justin Zwick (B1G Champion, National Champion)

The backup QB is the most popular guy on campus? Gee, never seen THAT at OSU before. It's obvious why JT is sticking with JZ even when he sucks royal: he is only a sophomore, and he wants someone who will be able to run this team for the next 2 1/2 years. Yanking him every game now will shatter any ability to build up his confidence, and he will be looking over his shoulder every time he throws an incomplete pass. Smith obviously hasn't earned the right to play during the week, or else he'd be in there. Hell, I saw Zwick play in HS as a senior, and I said then that everyone was overrating him big-time, but it's obvious that JT thinks his horse for the next 3 years is going to be JZ, and so he'sgoing to do whatever he can to bring him along. My guess is that Smith could in fact make more big plays, but that he would also make a lot more mistakes and he doesn't have the work ethic required to be a long-term option, or else JT would have gone with him by now.

His dog ate his playbook?

Uh....

er.


He really meant to throw the TD, but see a bird pooped on the ball just as it left his hand, and the extra weight threw it off its intended course. Or somthing.

Is that real money you are staking or that vcash shit? Hell, if it's real money, Dihard should say it no matter how big you are. I'd take a good ass whoopin for $1,000. Better yet, he should have his wife videotape from the bushes so that he could rake in some more from a civil suit. :wink2:

It's good (and I mean this sincerely) that people can keep their humor after a loss.

It goes without saying that I hope everyone here is balanced enough that words between fellow OSU fans after yet another tough loss would never actually translate to some sort of real life physical altercation.

I hope it goes without saying that it shouldn't. I also hope it goes without saying that if ANYONE wants to discuss deeply personal or intimate issues with one another, then they should do it completely off the site. I can't speak to what people say to one another over email. But doing it on a site I'm responsible for creates the potential for really problematic issues. Issues that could not only kill the site, but put me personally into an uglier set of circumstances than I'm already in. Something that is at present, blissfully difficult to imagine.

Everyone on this site is responsible for their own words to be sure though. And EVERYONE has the ability to tune other users out. I don't mean you just blow off their posts, I mean you add them to your ignore list, and you don't even see their posts.

This is a wonderful, but painfully underutilized tool. I can only wish they had something similar for our brains. Imagine having watched the national title game, and never having heard Dan Fouts speak a word. Or watching a halftime show, and not seeing or hearing Mark May. Oh he's there, and there are comical pauses when Trev is staring at or responding to a void on the screen -- but in your own little personal world, Mark May has ceased to exist.

4 clicks and a few keystrokes gets it done. That's a cheap price to play for lower blood pressure, less stress, and the potential for even marginally longer life.

Dihard and Clarity,

I'm sorry about how offended I am about this.

But you guy's have to realize that where I come from, the word "punk" could be a matter of life and death. I don't take comments like dihards, to good. My step dad was the last one who got away with that kind of stuff towards me but not one person since then. So maybe old wounds caused my reaction.

So forgive me if I over reacted.............But we still need to take note of who we are talking to.
