Toledo: We have the weapons and talent to beat Ohio State

I'm going to be the East German judge and agree with the OP. Toledo has a lot of skills and talents that Ohio State lacks, like the talent to bend over and grab their ankles and the skill to take a fucking plunger up their ass.

MAC smack checklist:

1) "They haven't seen a player(s) like X/y/z" who is usually a transfer/reject from a middle tier BCS school.
Check
2) 30+ point ass beating beating the last time was due to a few key plays/bad officiating/MAC team not playing hard enough.
Check
3) Grandiose delusions of victory extrapolated from some obscure moment of mediocrity.
Check
4) Post beat down revival of #2 "if it weren't for this that and the other we are right in that game not down 47-7" etc etc.
Pending
5) "oh well, they just had too much talent. No one seriously expected us to compete with them."
Pending
6) Lather, rinse, repeat

you forgot which color everybody is wearing in the Shoe (which is followed up with whining over where Ohio State puts their visitors), whining about how Ohio State doesn't let their band play, and figuring out which bar to "take over" before the game.

:lol:

exactly

BTW for anyone interested in knowing, Tressel era OSU vs MAC teams from the state of Ohio:

Record: 10-0
Total Points: 347-95 (only 33 of those points were allowed in the past 6 games)
Lowest margin of victory: 7 points (2003 OSU 24 - BGSU 17)
No other game has been decided by less than double digits


Tressel will keep it respectable in any given year out of his loyalty to the state. 5 suspensions or no, look for the typical 35-10 type of snooze fest.

I went to a BGSU-Toledo game once to take in the rivalry, which was fun. However, did everyone know that Toledo's student section's favorite chant is "go blue!"

Yeah, not cool bro, not cool.

Hmmm, I've been to several UT games, being from Toledo, and am not sure what chant you're talking about? Their chant of choice, surely is.

"DUHHHHHHHHH, DUH DUH DUH, GO ROCKETS
DUHHHHHHHHH, DUH DUH DUH, GO ROCKETS
DUHHHHHHHHH, DUH DUH DUH, GO ROCKETS
DUH DUH, DUH DUH DUH, DUH DUH DUH DUH DUH,
UT!"

But yeah, no, they won't even cover the 35 point spread.

Still have to say that playing an in-state school is one of the best decisions ever made by the OSU administration. Economically, we keep the funds in-state. Crucial in these bad economic times. It's better to hand a Toledo or OU or Youngstown State $400,000 than a TCU, Pitt or some other 'body-bag' team. If it helps an Ohio college keep up their athletic program so much the better.

Second, having the kids that OSU didn't recruit/sign, etc. get to play in the 'Shoe is a once in a lifetime thing for them. Like/Love/Hate OSU or not, all Ohio televisions get the Buckeyes on the tube, so every football player would want to play in the 'Shoe as a Buckeye or an opponent. This helps more of them do so.

Finally, it gives some of these 'second-tier' kids (nothing derogatory intended, but MAC is second tier etc) a Walter Mitty daydream - I imagine myself breaking free for the winning touchdown against the Buckeyes listening to 105,000 fans yelling and screaming....that is also a neat thing.

It kinda seems like this thread is a 'Walter Mitty' type of thing and it's great. Hey, eventually one of these teams WILL win, and those dreams will come true. Hope I'm alive to see it. And think how those kids will feel, after OSU loses their first game of the year against Wittenberg, Oberlin, whomever, goes undefeated the rest of the way, winning the BCS championship (given a ring with 12 diamonds and one piece of coal). They'll say for the rest of their lives, yeah, we beat OSU in 21xx when they won the national championship.....great stuff.

I'd like to think utgrad and I are the exceptions.


Toledo thinks very highly of their offense, but they don't have a realistic chance in hell with their defense to win the game. Syracuse in the Carrier dome is a different matter, though.

Thanks for saying that but I'm still trying to get over being a dumbass, so could you explain what you mean so I understand? :biggrin:

(note - thick skin runs in the family!)

Toledo does have an All American in Eric Page, just sayin...
