Yeah because they always ignore the #1 team in the country

So I guess the corollary is, "How great to have our Buckeyes be the #1 team in the country."BuckeyeMike80;1872918; said:Yeah because they always ignore the #1 team in the country

Perhaps on-topic, perhaps not: this business of using anything as an excuse to bash ESPN and its media mates as "disrespecting" the Buckeyes is tedious. Many fans around the country are probably tired of seeing Jared Sullinger featured 24/7. I, on the other hand, am not.
I think the Buckeyes are getting a pretty good run in the media, and I'm enjoying it immensely. Life is awfully good these days for a Buckeye fan. :osu:
You're paranoid. Buckeyes get the same treatment as anyone else. Paranoid fans look silly to fans of other teams (who are, themselves, paranoid in the same way).BuckeyeMike80;1872925; said:Life is good, but if you think for one second the media actually respects Ohio State like it would a multitude of other teams that could be #1 right now but aren't, you're kidding yourself.

"Nobody gives us our due!" :bicker: I think this must be the mating call of the sports fan, world-wide.

40-2 going back to last season. Largest victory margin in the country while gutting out the close wins when necessary. Replaced the national poy with the possible next national poy. Great mix of freshman talent and seasoned vets. Multiple plunger rapes of ranked teams at home and on the road.
If this were Duke, all of ESPN would by hyping them 24/7 as the greatest team ever. I don't mind flying under the radar, but it's pretty clear to me that ESPN's official line on the Buckeyes is to give them the minimal amount of exposure while waiting (hoping) for them to lose. The difference will be more than noticeable the moment Duke, a Big East team or their current bitch Texas takes over the number one spot. Hell, Gameday made it more than evident that the spin doctors are chomping at the bit to get one of "their" teams into the number one spot.
