ttun Shenanigans, Arguments, and Emasculated Cucks (2019 thread)

[Onebuckfan]

We were 1 and 3 in Rose Bowls and 3 0 and 1 against scUM when I was in school. That tie bothered me more than 3 Rose Bowl losses.

I find it interesting when I see y'all disparage Clemson, given the ACC's diminishing rep, while you assert that no amount of B1G fail can taint you.

Let me know when it taints Clemson.

I hope that Black Pit of Negative Expectations smells like sulfur and tastes like warm spit.

Stassen only goes back to 1900. The Buckeyes have a 51-47-4 record against TTUN. We passed them in Harbrau's first edition of The Game.

Now wait a minute. It's not like they're playing in a ridiculously weak ACC while also having had several players, an alarming percentage of those tested, I might add, testing positive for steroids, while also being the tangential subject of testimony in a Federal Court case as "taking care of their players" :cough cough: and they're still Teflon...

bad example.

Agreed.
Beating the skunk weasels in 2006 and in 2016 was awesome. That feeling was great. But you know what is almost as awesome? When they lost to Appy State. Or when they lost to Toledo. Or when they lost to Rutgers. In 2008 Michigan went 3-9, and Ohio State beat them 42-7. The feeling that game wasn't as nice as the 2006 or 2016 games. But the overall misery for that season for them was worth the difference.

Also, if beating Michigan in 2006 was a 100, beating them in 2008 was a 90.

I don't think anything will top 2018 for me. That has to be the most soul shattering thing to witness as a fan. To watch your rival struggle with teams you've put away all year. To have that little dollop of hope dangled in from of your face only for it to be replaced by a Buckeye shaped fist beating you in the face over and over again. I honestly don't think I've witnessed a more perfect sports moment.

I said before that a twisted part of me thought getting smoked by Purdue was a fair price to witness that beatdown. I'm still feasting on the utter despair from SCUM fans.

You guys hit the jackpot with Tress and Urban, and so think nothing bad can ever happen to your program after two decades of unparalleled success going 16-2 against tsun (about to go 17-2). But you saw how Tennessee disappeared, how Texas vanished until this year, and how USC has imploded. Michigan is rolling that way there. So good luck with that virus not touching tOSU no matter how long you are exposed Jax. I truly hope you are right.

First, you underestimate us. We know we've got it great right now ... and we're going to enjoy the living fuck out of it whether you'd like us to or not, for as long as it lasts. Sorry, not sorry, if that offends your sense of how we should be fans.

Second, while at some point OSU will have a "down" cycle again, history indicates that while OSU is not quite the most accomplished of the great programs (and BTW it's frankly an insult to even compare us to non-great programs that have multiple lengthy stretches of irrelevance like Texas and Tennessee), OSU is the most consistent over the decades of all of them. I was born in 1969, and OSU has had TWO losing seasons since I've been alive, one of which (6-7 in 2011) directly resulted from the forced resignation of a hall of fame coach and the suspension of several top players (BTW OSU is 90-9 with a natty and a 4-2 Big 6 bowl record (haven't played in a non-Big 6 bowl) since). Even when we're down, we're almost never far down. I expect college football as we know it to be pussified out of existence before OSU will be anything other than at or within sniffing distance of the top of it for a sustained period.

I find it interesting when I see y'all disparage Clemson, given the ACC's diminishing rep, while you assert that no amount of B1G fail can taint you. Maybe. But you miss the point. If Michigan no longer matters, nobody cares if OSU is a power when it comes time to schedule The Game. Nobody outside your state will give a shit in a few years if you play a perennially bad tsun. Nor will you get credit for the win any more than we did while beating Kentucky for the 30th time in 30 years.

It's almost like he typed a second sentence that you gleefully ignored. You didn't even have to finish the sentence, just read the opening part.

Spoiler: did your examples take care of business

Question, did Texas take care of business and then have a b12 problem? No, they had a Texas problem?

How about Michigan? Did the league hold them back? Or were they given an absurd amount of overrating year after year despite the league being trash, and then the media learned that yes, they are still bad?

When were the times USC was taking care of business post Carroll?

Had urban not been in the desert, OSU might have replaced USC and Miami before them. But he was, and the powers shifted.

And OSU had their own continued problems vs LSU (which was shockingly close despite Todd Boeckman being the qb), UT, USC. That was their problem, not how bad Michigan was.

The stupidity checked in when everyone else in the league was stitched into the coattails (by the only voice in cfb) because espn loses hundreds of millions (if not billions) if they rank great teams mississippiously. Instead they distort and create cyclical greatness for programs that did little to achieve it, and when the greats stumble, it's a net increase for the league rankings.

Pretty sure I could get arrested for fapping on a flight.

thanks.

 

[DaddyBigBucks]

Nah, the Aztek might have been ugly as sin, but it was pretty good in the utility department. The fact that there was a pop-out tent option is still one of the coolest things ever in a production vehicle.

There's nothing cool about those scumbags up north.

My brother had an Aztek. Scarlet and Gray of course. He liked it fine.

Check the time stamp of the tweet. You need not have even nudged. I was all the fuck over that shit like white on rice.

Heh. Yeah, he’s a bit more than 1σ off this time.

That was......wow.........just wow. No words.

In regards to the off topic discussion of the potential of OSU at some point having a down cycle, something like that could happen, but folks forget the built in advantage that we have always had.

We are the only major program in the talent rich state of Ohio. We will always have a base of solid stay at home kids upon which to build.

 

[jakenick06]

Wrong, we are approaching a perfect world! One where scUM is a national laughing stock, and OSU gets to stomp on their souls to end the season. I'm hoping it gets to a point where we beat them in The Game, for them to go winless in a season and they have to continually watch us win the B1G, and go to the CFP. I want respect and scUM to never be uttered in the same sentence. I don't want a Richt who enters rivalry games with confidence, I want a demoralized Hairball who knows that he's going to get owned, and have to take for 3+hrs, as he watches his team get 40+pts dropped on them yearly! SOS be damned to me, I want to wipe the smugness off that fanbases faces. I started rooting for tOSU in the early 90s and saw some great OSU teams get curb stomped by average scUM teams. I've seen the countless smug scUM fans constantly remind me about the Cooper years and being the winningest program in CFB. I've seen them get arrogant again when Hairball was hired, and think it was cute to refer to OSU as "Ohio". My perfect game is a 100-0 OSU win in the game where they go 0-12 for the season and we in turn win the B1G and the CFP

I find it interesting when I see y'all disparage Clemson, given the ACC's diminishing rep, while you assert that no amount of B1G fail can taint you.

I don't see how anyone who watches that network that owns a piece of the ACC can make this statement. By what criteria are you asserting that Clemson's rep is diminishing? They are a perfect example of how weak your league can be and still have the media swinging from your nuts if 1) the media has a financial incentive to promote your brand and 2) the team takes care of business in big OOC/Bowl/Playoff games.

Again, the only thing that can hurt OSU in the ESPN invitational is belonging to a conference that ESPN doesn't own a piece of.

But you miss the point. If Michigan no longer matters, nobody cares if OSU is a power when it comes time to schedule The Game. Nobody outside your state will give a shit in a few years if you play a perennially bad tsun. Nor will you get credit for the win any more than we did while beating Kentucky for the 30th time in 30 years.

You are the one missing the point. We've been hearing the warnings about tsun becoming irrelevant since 2007. They have hit low after low after low. OSU's brand is controlled by OSU's performance, not by the quality of their rival.

You guys hit the jackpot with Tress and Urban, and so think nothing bad can ever happen to your program after two decades of unparalleled success going 16-2 against tsun (about to go 17-2).

So good luck with that virus not touching tOSU no matter how long you are exposed Jax. I truly hope you are right.

Typical of a Florida fan who thinks football was invented in 1996 you seem to have forgotten the three coaches before Tressel that take Ohio State's jackpot winnings back to 1951.

OSU has the highest win % of any team in major CFB in that 67 year period of being exposed to the virus. I like our survival odds.

OSU isn't some second rate wanna be blue blood like fucking Tennessee or Texas.

 

[Nigel Tufnel]

The issue isn't nearly so much talent as coaching, team ethos and the immense sense of entitlement and superiority. The last of which is, of course, entirely unjustified.

No, it’s all those things AND lack of talent. Honestly, they haven’t t recruited well and those that did actually come there that were talented were looking for less competition, which immediately makes them have a lower top end. But make no mistake, if you followed recruiting, you aren’t surprised by this.
