rams80 Posted January 9, 2009 Share Posted January 9, 2009 The game sucked for 3 quarters, but the 4th redeemed it...and the right side won it.Now, I'm fully expecting Ohio State/Big Eleven level vitriol and hate for Oklahoma and the Big 12...let 'er rip, boys. Chokelahoma?Are you kidding? That won't happen. The Big XII just had a bad week or something. Oklahoma lost because of their coach. Ohio State lost because The Big Ten doesn't deserve to be in D-I football. There is a difference you know.I hope people now realize what I meant when I said the impressive Big 12 offensive numbers came because no one in the Conference can play defense.

I'm not sure what you're getting at./USC-Oklahoma Orange Bowl was not close.I'm not getting at too much, it's just a note.But it's worth noting, that while I love the bowl system, the Big Ten is almost always the road team, often overwhelmingly, and the Big 12 often suffers a similar fate. Also there's warm weather teams that I don't think would do nearly as well in cold weather locations.Would USC have won 3 Rose Bowl's in a row if they'd had to travel to Ann Arbor, Champaign, or Happy Valley?I suspect they'd have lost at least to Penn State.But now I'm just ranting about something I don't like but also don't hate enough to desire a change.

They suck in BCS games where they're the closer-locale team, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Travel is not the reason why the Conference has performed sub par in the Bowls lately. Anywho, USC's Rose Bowl win streak is also slightly aided by them playing the Big Ten runner up in 2006 and 2007.

STL FANATIC Posted January 9, 2009 Share Posted January 9, 2009 Limiting it just to the Rose Bowl, the talk of Big Ten fans neutralizing home field just isn't possible.I was there in 08 and saw enough crowd shots for 09...huge BT turnouts didn't prevent 2/3+ of the crowd from being USC fans. Not to mention the cold weather/warm weather team aspect of it.That's a good point about the Big Ten runner up thing, something I discussed with others but forgot to mention. I do think Penn State would have beaten USC in Happy Valley. I really do. JUSTIN STRIEBEL | PORTFOLIO | RESUME | CONTACT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ole Miss, Ohio State, and Florida proved it. Not all of them won their bowl game against the Big XII (ahem..) but they did completely shut down the top three supposed high powered offenses in the conference. And by shut down I mean that Texas, Oklahoma, and Texas Tech did not even approach their average numbers on offense in any of those games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He still managed to beat FSU.And all of the games were close.Just a thought.STOP IT! They lost. Both teams had the same amount of time to prepare and the schools were given the same amount of tickets. Florida economy has lots of foreclosures, and Oklahoma's has gone down due to energy stocks. If the game at Quest Field, the schools would have sold their alottment and your complaint might be about the conditions. You also lost two games in Tempe against teams which arguably had less talent.Big XII Champion- Bowl Game lossBig XII South Co-Champ in Texas- Bowl Game winBig XII South Co-Champ in Tech- Bowl Game loss, badlyOk State-Bowl Game loss, badlyi know that match-ups have a lot to do with it, but so does having a defense.

I do think Penn State would have beaten USC in Happy Valley. I really do.So? Illinois won in the ing Horseshoe that year. Having a third of the fanbase is a lot better than the conditions they encountered there or would encounter in Camp Randall, the Big House, or Happy Valley. Plus the warm weather should help them excel as well. On 8/1/2010 at 4:01 PM, winters in buffalo said: You manage to balance agitation with just enough salient points to keep things interesting.
