rmackman Posted January 8, 2008 Share Posted January 8, 2008 Just watch out for my Gators again next season =). Tebow and that whole team will be back, plus Moody transferred from USC and will be elligible to start at runnin back for the orange & blue. The defense will have matured and won't be all freshmen anymore. Should be a fun 2008 =). Congrats to LSU...and even Georgia for showing what the SEC is all about.

-(dp)- Posted January 8, 2008 Share Posted January 8, 2008 hearing about the sec's "dominance of college football" from espn (when i get to a bar or somewhere with espn since i no longer have cable) > hearing about the second bcs title for THE ohio state university from people i'll see everyday (growing up around cincy you make a lot of buckeye friends. was pretty awkward the first time we watched michigan/osu together) that being said...and i' can't believe i'm about to say this... the sec. go bucks.I know exactly how you feel. I couldn't believe I was pulling for Michigan, but I was. Look at it like this, it's all for the greater good. Kinda like when The Klingons became allies with The Federation in Star Trek. the SEC. GO BIG 10! GO BUCKS! WAY TO GO BLUE! Hmm... I was rooting for Ohio State last year for the same reason, and got this reaction from you:Seriously, thanks for the support. No offense intended by this but we'd prefer that Michigan fans stay off the Buckeye bandwagon. You're young so it's possible you don't have a full understanding of the rivalry. If you're a Michigan fan and you root for Ohio State (and vice versa) for any reason you will lose all credibility on both sides. There are some things that you just don't do and one of them is Michigan fans don't root for Ohio State under any circumstances. We don't want you and your own fans will disown you. You may want to reconsider. I'm a Big Ten fan too but you would have thought I was a USC fan yesterday. I'll take a Michigan loss over a Big ten win every time. No question.Just thought I would point that out. See what you people worshipping the SEC are doing? It is throwing the whole college football world out of balance, and the unthinkable is happening. As a Michigan fan, we don't have to hear from the SEC as much as the OSU fans. Michigan has done very well against the SEC, including beating Florida in the state of Florida, in a game they weren't supposed to have a chance in.

buckeyes1 Posted January 8, 2008 Share Posted January 8, 2008 Well another football season gone by and the Buckeyes blow it again. Congrats to LSU. One thing I noticed though even way before this game took place is that the whole nation hates Ohio State. Do any other Buckeye fans feel this way? I mean the media and everyone else just seems to pick on us. And I noticed this even before Florida destroyed us last year in the BCS Championship game. This goes back a while now. Every time Ohio State has a good season and is in the mix for a championship everyone just takes their turn to bash us as bad as they can. It's like we are the Yankees of college football. Maybe I'm wrong and I'm just seeing it from a different view point but what do you all think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fred T. Jane Posted January 8, 2008 Share Posted January 8, 2008 You have failed me, Universe. All I asked for was a killer asteroid to wipe those cretins out once and for all, yet you could not even do that for me!Look at it this way: LSU and Georgia could finish 1-2 in the final polls, just to spite the non-SEC folks.....You see, I was willing to set aside my perfectly reasonable loathing of LSU to accept that line of reasoning, but the following happened:(1) After the final, the locals did their best Gaza Strip impression by shooting off fireworks and shooting guns () and shouting LSU WOOHOO after 2300 local time.(2) On the way to work, a fellow decided to tailgate me with his brights on for a good 5 miles. As he passed me, I saw his 4x4 truck was purple and gold and plastered with LSU stickers and flags. Thankfully, he zipped by me (I was going 60 in a 55, for the record) right in front of a State Trooper, who gave him his own form of gold-coloured paperwork. [Croatia National Team Manager Slavan] Bilic then went on to explain how Croatia's success can partially be put down to his progressive man-management techniques. "Sometimes I lie in the bed with my players. I go to the room of Vedran Corluka and Luka Modric when I see they have a problem and I lie in bed with them and we talk for 10 minutes." Maybe Capello could try getting through to his players this way too? Although how far he'd get with Joe Cole jumping up and down on the mattress and Rooney demanding to be read his favourite page from The Very Hungry Caterpillar is open to question. --The Guardian's Fiver, 08 September 2008 Attention: In order to obtain maximum enjoyment from your stay at the CCSLC, the reader is advised that the above post may contain large amounts of sarcasm, dry humour, or statements which should not be taken in any true sort of seriousness.

I don't understand it because they only win the National championship like once every thirty years, but I realize the hate is there. Prediction: OSU beats USC next year in the second game of the season, goes all the way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HatManTC Posted January 8, 2008 Share Posted January 8, 2008 did the buckeyes really blow it? this team was predicted to be 3rd in there conference. they replaced a good chuck of their offense, yet some how came out the year with one loss in the regular season. maybe they shouldn have been playing for the title(cant really say if any one team was more suited to play then another with the way this season unfolded) but you really can't take much away from these OSU teams, they only lost 3 games in the last 2 seasons and 2 of those losses were to that years national champions. I just don't get the hate for the buckeyes. its not like Tressel is like bobby bowden and runs up scores, or Charles wies who refuses to shake the opposing coaches hands after a loss in a bowl game. the team, like their coach seem to be pretty down to earth and friendly. well like us ohio sports fans say, theres always next year. by RoscoeUA by gingerbreadman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
