Re: The Count Down till RR gets FIRED

Regardless,there are much better levels of football played elsewhere than the Big Ten.Been that way for awhile. More efficient. Better schemes. More exciting. Better players. And they play,as the VEST calls it,with just a tad more "velocity". The NFL barely thinks you are right in regards...

Re: Where Will Ohio State Go Bowling

Dont gamble, sorry . Just basing this on past performances against good SEC teams. You mean the one loss to Florida by 20+ or the 14 point loss to LSU? Maybe the 3 point loss to South Carolina? They have lost to an SEC team by 20 or more twice and they are 7-11-2 against teams now in the SEC. The t...

Re: let the arrows fly.

I guess OSU forfeited all the W's with that scholar athelet Maurice Clarette ? pot meet kettle. The same NCAA dealt with OSU that dealt with Umass and Memphis.

Re: Week 13: The Game OSU vs. Michigan

Was Michigan not favored in 2004?

They had clinched the Big Ten title.

OSU was 7-4.

OSU got behind 14-7, but won 37-20.

Re: SHOULD THE BIG EAST BE KNOCKED OUT OF THE BCS AUTO BID?

This isn't directed at the Big East, but I think an overall rule should be implemented for all conferences.

If the conference champion has more than three losses, the conference loses its automatic bid and the slot will be chosen independently by the bowl committee.

Re: Where Will Ohio State Go Bowling

I may be wrong, but it is my understanding that in the event of a three-way tie, once the Rose Bowl team is selected, the BCS standings no longer matter and if another Big Ten team is be selected for the BCS, it must be chosen by an individual bowl committee. If OSU beats Michigan, they will either ...

Re: Week 12: Buckeyes vs. Iowa

I don't seem to recall Alabama doing a lot of uptempo, out of the shotgun offense during their NC season last year. I guess if OSU wants to be like the most recent elite team, they should stay slow and run the ball between the tackles. Otherwise, I'll enjoy seeing how many other BCS Conference teams...
