They get bonus points for TShirts that read "Ohio State is for kickers", though.

of course, they immediately forfeit them when they make monuments out of a guard rail.

Don't forget, as punishment for off-field incidents this summer, the PSU team has to clean the stadium after every home game.

Pack truck loads of Bubblicious for this years game, people! :wink2:

The media beat down of the Big Ten is a temporary fashion, something currently in style and subject to change with every season.

We screwed up in Jan. And we alone will have to live that down.

Michigan will have to live down "One of The Greatest Upsets in Sports".
Which situation would you really rather be in? :tongue2:

Yanno - as beat downs go, the beat down that Nebraska put on us in Jan 96 was the worst I've seen. The "Hit her again, hit her again - harder harder" cheer I was able to start every time Lawrence Phillips took the field was small consolation. :biggrin:

Much better to be in the big game and come up short. Hell, props for being there offsets the loss. Losing to Appy State - however....

I forgot how much that was like "The Longest Yard - College-Style". Lawrence and the jail break crew were pretty good.

I completely second that consideration. I'd much rather be in the NC game than not.

For the coaching subject... I think Carrs' time was already very limited (2-3 seasons) barring a NC that I never saw happening anyway. There's very few coaches that worry me for MI. They can't just be a good coach, but they need to really get the rivalry too. Urban fits the bill, but I can't see him leaving a program that currently loves him to death.
We, as fans, got very lucky with Tressel -- and our State actually has all the coaching pipelines in place.

On the issue of national perspective of the B10. I suppose it could hurt us this year because we have no huge big-name OOC opponent. But whatever. For the future, we really do control our own destiny. If we beat USC next year or the year after -- it won't matter what the rest of the B10 is like. I could say the same for Texas the last 2 years. And whoever our epic matchups are after USC (I forget.)
Teams like PSU and Wiscy depend on B10 perception because it's not very often they have big-name opponents. Ohio State didn't corner themselves into that position.

Ohio State has the best coach in college football hands down. Urban Meyer may have out-coached him in the NC but Tressel is still the better coach. It doesnt matter who comes to Michigan because Tressel will be better than them. Im from North Carolina and i have a lot of friends that go to app state. They are going wild up there and have a beat down game vs. lenior rhyne this week.

I think that loss hurts them ALOT!!!! NO ONE will ever forget it!!! They will not forget this year, as much as they say they are moving on. Carr can't win the big game anymore, or little one's. He's never been big on change, he never will change, there we OWN them.... They lose to Penn State, Mich St and the Buckeyes this year. Get like the GMAC bowl or something gay.

They won't lose to mich St. I can see them losing to Wisky, PSU and us though. I'm not sure Mich st. has the pieces in place yet for Dantonio to win that game. Its going to definitely be interesting to see how mich. responds.

there are two scheduled games with Miami and then after that two scheduled games with Virginia Tech....

People are trying their best to tie Missagain's loss into a slam on the Big Ten as a whole, but there isn't any point in worrying about that stuff if you are looking at it from a Buckeye fan perspective.

If Ohio State goes out and takes care of business, things will fall into place. Who cares what others say....

I feel that tOSU dropped in the polls because if scUM's loss. I really dont like the fact that it emboldens the rest of the country's thought that the big ten is week. Michigan embarassed the big 10. That said is anyone really going to be worried when Les Miles takes over in Ann Arbor?

I still say forget about the polls. This Buckeye team has a lot to fix before they can think about running the table this year. The o-line stunk, Beanie was sleep walking (admittedly), and the defense gave up bigger runs than they should.

Whether or not the Bucks win out is FAR more concerning than whether or not they'll get screwed out of the NC Game when they win out.

Indeed, Yertle.... I can't see worrying about Ohio State getting screwed out of a BCS berth when we're exactly 1 game in to the season.

And.... no, I won't be the least bit worried when Les Miles takes over. In fact, I will happily cheer the day.
