why no threads from the Ohio fans today???

[Pierre.Suave]

HAHAHAHAHA...

LSU WON!

TAKE THAT!

[CaliforniaPeggy]

1. My dear jasonc...

Oh, nice...

Rub a little salt in our wounds, why don't you?

LSU won fair and square...

How about a little graciousness?

[BOSSHOG]

18. Love you Peggy

Sometimes, some folks (me included) forget its only a game.

[lizziegrace]

2. Ohio State lost to a better team

and we're a bit more gracious than "HAHAHAHAHA..."


That's why.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

4. My dear lizzie...

:hug:

7. Weeellllll.....the graciousness was lacking when Michigan was upset by Appalachian State

OSU and MSU fans flooded their website for App State gear to rub in Michigan fans' faces. Sooo....while it might not be gracious, it is kind of satisfying to rub it in a little.

Personally, I like nothing better than when a Big Ten team beats an SEC team. I would've rooted for OSU if their fans hadn't gone berserk over the App State game. Upsets happen; could even happen to your team. Although...Michigan did beat their SEC opponent in a bowl game.

:evilgrin:

[lizziegrace]

11. Maybe so

but here on the boards, I'd like to think we're a little more civil about sports. I mean you're in that state up north but I'd gladly meet you when we get the chance. ;)

[1gobluedem]

13. Yes, me too

I'm talking about fandom in general. The stuff after the App State upset was brutal.

So...when are you coming to this state up north? :7 Or maybe a halfway point; lunch in Findlay or something after the weather gets more dependable....

[lizziegrace]

14. I made a promise to a friend to come visit

Haven't decided when yet. I'll let you know. PM dates you're not available (weekend) in Feb/Mar.

:hi:

3. take it to GDP

the designated forum for trash talking. :-)

[Bake]

5. They're still trying to stop the bleeding ...

I sympathize, however. Last night was an ASS-KICKING!

I LOVED IT!!!!! GO SEC!!

And as a side note, it's not like we don't have to suffer through the gloating of people like Pitt and his Pats (Pitty-Pats?) and his Red Sox and his Celtics ...

6. More class from an SEC football fan

:eyes:

[Pierre.Suave]

9. Actually...

I am a Big Ten fan, specifically a Michigan fan.

[MrCoffee]

8. OSU will be back next year...and the year after that, and after that, and after that...

the BCS will keep giving them a shot until they finally figure out how to win a national championship again.

[Bake]

25. And they'll lose again. And again. And again.

Probably to an SEC team each time. 0-9 so far ...

:rofl:

Bake

[HughBeaumont]

10. Take what?

A vastly talented and experienced LSU team practically at a home game beating a Buckeye team that was supposed to use this year to rebuild . .. and how about that, there they were again?

OSU is one defensive coordinator away from a dynasty.

[lizziegrace]

12. ...

:applause: Couldn't have said it better myself.



We weren't expected to do big things this year. We made it to #1 and still get bashed because we lost.

[HughBeaumont]

15. We made it to the national title game with Interception Boeckmann at QB.

COME on.

We lost HOW many offensive starters to the NFL draft last year?

And people say we suck?

That this team even got 11 wins and the BCS title game is a testimony to great coaching and continously great recruiting classes (of which the next one is damned great as well).

Like I said, get a defensive coordinator who knows how to shut the spread down and you got a dangerous team.

[BOSSHOG]

16. How hard is it to get 11 wins playing a Big Ten schedule?

[MrCoffee]

20. are we talking junior high?

because a junior high team would have a tough time. most high schools could do it pretty easily

[BOSSHOG]

22. Excellent Point

I defer to your wisdom and insight into the intricacies of conference dissection.

[Bake]

26. B.I.N.G.O.

Hammer, meet nail.

Bake

[HughBeaumont]

21. For this year anyway, a little less than easy . . .

. . . considering they lost most of their offensive stars to the draft, went with an unproven quarterback and played Wisconsin, PSU and Michigan on the road.

OSU really does need to improve their OOC schedule, which they'll get in droves for the next two years when they play USC.

[VenusRising]

17. I usually like your posts, jasonc

but this is not one of them.

Big 10 fans are usually more sportsman-like and gracious.

[Bake]

28. That's because they're accustomed to losing.

0-9 against the SEC, BAYBEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

Bake

[MrCoffee]

30. "Respect the Game"

didn't they have to declare curfews in Columbus last time OSU won a championship? those Big 10 ads about being good fans and good sports aren't there to congratulate the fans, are they?

[VenusRising]

32. There are bad fans in all divisions.

I've lived around the US in some of the different divisions, and maybe it's just Ohio State fans, but I've found the Big 10 fans to be more gracious.

YMMV

[Pierre.Suave]

33. Perhaps you took this post

to be more serious than it was intended.

[madinmaryland]

19. I have a couple going in the sports forum.

[MrCoffee]

23. OSU is now 0-9 in bowl games against SEC teams

"The loss left Ohio State at 0-9 overall in bowl games against teams from the Southeastern Conference. The SEC delights in whipping Big Ten teams in what's become a rivalry that steams up fans on both sides."

24. Statistics don't lie

We weren't supposed to make to any bowl games this year. I'm glad we did.

Oh, and I'm an SEC school graduate. My daughter and all my money got to Ohio State.

[MrCoffee]

27. certainly not last night

Georgia...USC...Kansas...Missouri...West Virginia


they all got screwed by allowing OSU to play (again) in a game where they were hopelessly outmatched (again).

but that's the beauty of the BCS. let OSU try and try and try again. what a joke.

[lizziegrace]

29. Then fix the system

complaining about who ends up playing when the system is flawed really doesn't accomplish anything.

OSU didn't ask for their ranking. They didn't buy their way into the game. It happened. BCS is broken.

[MrCoffee]

31. BCS is horribly broken

i agree with you there.

[sasquatch]

34. What SEC school did you graduate from?

Was it Kentucky?
