I guess I've just been so used to being let down in big games these past few years that it's hard to get up for this game. I hope I'm wrong, but I don't see us coming close to winning this one. :( Prove me horribly wrong, Bucks!

I feel the same way, its like, we used to win most of those games.....

Now, we cant win any of them....

That last drive in the Texas game is still haunting too me :/

I will still be watching and celebrating every Bucks positive play and hoping they win the game!!!

:oh:

Perception is such a backwards thing. Back in 2006, Jim Tressel was viewed as an elite big game coach. You even heard such talk before the Texas win that year. Yet the previous season saw a virtual copycat of 2005, stellar D weak O just barely losing to NC caliber Texas & one turnover being the difference vs a B10 champ PSU squad. Beating up on ND is not as relevant in my book, sure it's a good outing, but it shouldn't override big game performances vs better teams like Texas or PSU.

It's remarkable how much damage the Florida game did to perception.

Damn fine post, there. You hit on a lot of things that I've noticed, especially about USC's YAC padding Barkley's stats. SJSU's tackling is probably on par with Western Michigan, and we all saw how good that made another frosh QB look. OSU's D is on a whole other level than SJSU, and SJSU is probably the best D Barkley has ever seen. There is a big difference between the big plays USC had Sat and the big plays they had against us last year. Last year, USC's skill players were able to get behind the D on a regular basis. Against SJSU, we saw many more short plays that turned big due to poor D. As long as OSU's D can keep the ball in front of them, I like our chances. I'm sure USC will take more chances downfield against us, and our secondary will have to be up to the task. If we can limit them to short passes and contain the run, we will at least have a chance to hold them to FGs instead of TDs, and prevent them from gaining momentum. Forcing USC into 3rd and longs will be big. I have to wonder how Barkley will respond in situations where he feels he needs to make something happen with his arm.

Not only that, it started the most annoying debate in college football: conference wars. Now morons from irrelevant schools think they get a right to boast if someone from their conference beats us. Seems like there are more fans of conferences than individual teams. I particularly enjoy the facade of brotherhood the SEC puts on. What a load of horseshit that is.

Jim Rome just railed on us for like 5 minutes...........just now on " Rome is Burning "............

His is the biggest self-centerd ego maniac known to man. I mean to have people repeat what you say , and call them clones........is quite ridiculous.

It wasn't mainstream back then. ESPN didn't do breakdowns of what Texas needed to do to get the Big12 some credibility. A highlight of an underdog beating Oregon wasn't followed by chuckles of how sucky the Pac-10 was.

as BN27 notes, there used to be more focus on the little guy getting something remarkable done and not so much joy in chopping down the big dog.

Likewise, today's information age is such that people need stuff to talk about... more stuff... it's filling what would otherwise be dead air and so it's more prevelant as a result.

And.. it gets people agitated... If we haven't learned by now that agitated viewers brings ratings, we're not very bright people.

Take breeder's remark about Jim Rome... I didn't hear it.. and I don't fucking care about what he has to say about anything. Thus, I don't listen to, or watch, his programs. But... I used to be one where I'd get my panties all in a wad about it... so, I know what that's like.. it's just not worth worrying about. The best way to get them to shut up is to ignore them... they'll move on to pissing off someone else.... their survival in the media depends on it.

Anyone who has ever really watched/listened to Jim Rome know that he's a California homer first and foremost and a bandwagon second.

It doesn't matter what the subject matter is, if it's popular he's for it. If it's a California team, especially an LA team, he's going to "pimp" them.

Besides, you still watch Jim Rome? WTF?
