December 7, 200519 yr Author Congratulations to the Ohio State Buckeyes: Champions of the Big 10 :wink:
December 7, 200519 yr I think that co-champion thing is B.S.... both teams have 1 conference loss... but Penn State beat Ohio State in head-to-head action... therefore, I refuse to consider OSU as a "co-champion" of the conference.
December 7, 200519 yr Author true, but until we have a conference championship game we have to live with stuff like "Co-Champions" PSU's victory over OSU got them the automatic BCS bowl bid. If PSU wanted to be the sole Big Ten Champs they should have beat Michigan :-D When OSU won the national championship in 2002 we were only the Co-Champs of the Big Ten with Iowa even though we had a perfect record (Iowa lost one non-conference game, but won all their Big Ten games).
December 7, 200519 yr Penn State could've beat Michigan even Michigan didn't cheat and get an extra 2 seconds put on the clock at the end of the game resulting in just enough time for them to win the game. Michigan always gets the officiating breaks!
December 7, 200519 yr Author So who would you say is PSU's biggest rival in the Big Ten? (which game gets PSU students most excited
December 7, 200519 yr In the Big 10... we hate OSU the most... Michigan would be a close 2nd. We hate OSU because they are seen as the antithesis of PSU... brash, cocky, arrogant, low graduation rate.... and they're always good. Michigan is also hated because they keep beating us. Penn Staters really don't have much animosity for the rest of the league... it's kind of hard to get excited about distant places like Minnesota and Northwestern. Penn State had a lot of awesome rivalries in the pre- Big 10 days... which have unfortunately been lost. Pitt has always been our biggest rival... but due to Penn State's stupidity... that series is on hold indefinately.
December 7, 200519 yr Author I'd love to see West Virginia University join the Big Ten. I think PSU and WVU wold be a good little rivalry since Morgantown is close to PA. BTW, did you know that Joe Pa in Russian means bullshit? It's spelled differently of course, but my Russian co-worker always gets a kick out of hearing the sports commentator say Joe Pa on TV, lol.
January 3, 200619 yr WAHOO!! TEMPE, Ariz. (AP) -- Troy Smith outplayed Brady Quinn and Jim Tressel outfoxed Charlie Weis. Fourth-ranked Ohio State jumped on No. 5 Notre Dame with big play after big play Monday night in a 34-20 Fiesta romp, sending the Irish to their eighth consecutive bowl defeat. "I been hearing a lot about how are you guys going to beat a Notre Dame team when you give Charlie Weis four weeks to prepare for it," Buckeyes senior linebacker A.J. Hawk said. "That kind of upset me because I thought, 'What about giving coach Tressel four weeks to prepare for you?'' So make it four straight bowl wins for the Buckeyes, three of them at the Tostitos Fiesta Bowl.

January 4, 200619 yr These are my favorite two teams. It was an odd feeling. I am glad that OSU won. They were expected to have a good year. No one expected ND to do what they did this year. Next year should be even better for both teams.
January 4, 200619 yr :-( :cry: :-( Two of my uncles, two of my cousins, and my sister are all ND grads and my brother is currently a senior there, so I think I would be disowned if I would want OSU to win. My brother just got back from the game today and said that other than the outcome, it was a great game and experience.
January 5, 200619 yr only five notre dame players from ohio this year, no wonder they lost its not their usual amount of ohio talent -- lol!
January 5, 200619 yr At least three more Ohioans will be playing for ND next year: 2 from Ignatius and one from Cincy
February 12, 200619 yr Booster’s gaming ties get him on OSU’s ‘list’ Athletes told to avoid contact with 25 people Sunday, February 12, 2006 Kathy Lynn Gray and Jim Woods THE COLUMBUS DISPATCH Ohio State University has warned its athletes to stay away from a Columbus businessman with a Web site tied to gambling. The businessman, Bernie Fernandez Jr., is under scrutiny in a gambling investigation by the Franklin County sheriff’s office. Heather Lyke Catalano, OSU’s compliance officer, told a sheriff’s investigator in an April 2004 e-mail that she was worried about Fernandez because "we have student athletes working for Bernie and need to cease that relationship." She has since placed Fernandez on a "watch list" of people student athletes should avoid. More at http://dispatch.com/news-story.php?story=dispatch/2006/02/12/20060212-C1-03.html
April 8, 200619 yr What? What is this...fucking Wisconsin? The Dispatch poll is about 80% against the new jersey and 15% for. I liked their old jersey and saw no reason to change it.
April 9, 200619 yr this does look very wisconsinish....and i also dont know why they would change from their classic uniforms. :|
April 9, 200619 yr Looks terrible. "You don't just walk into a bar and mix it up by calling a girl fat" - buildingcincinnati speaking about new forumers
April 9, 200619 yr And shouldn't it be TOSU, since they're insistent that the university's name begin with "The"? "In the souls of the people the grapes of wrath are filling and growing heavy, growing heavy for the vintage." -- John Steinbeck
April 9, 200619 yr I thought the "T" in your TOSU would be "transit" but alas... "You don't just walk into a bar and mix it up by calling a girl fat" - buildingcincinnati speaking about new forumers
April 10, 200619 yr Ugh. As I suspected, Nike is behind this. I am no blind Nike basher but they are behind virtually every awful trend in uniform design you see. The Oregon Ducks? Nike. The Olympic hockey jerseys? Nike. The list goes on.
April 10, 200619 yr I liked the old jerseys, but I don't mind these ones. I'd like to see how it looks with the pants, helmet and a player.
April 10, 200619 yr That is just plain bad I guess Nike figured every Buckeye fan already had a football jersey, so to sell more they went with a "new" jersey Screw Nike I am not sure but I think Campus Partners was behind this :wink:
April 10, 200619 yr Go Scarlet and White! I'm hoping that maybe these new jerseys will relegate the old jerseys to outlets and clearance racks. Then I could afford to buy one! LOL, punch....
April 11, 200619 yr Unless they change colors (lets break out Maize and blue for one year :laugh:), I could care less.
April 11, 200619 yr Not that it will make any difference....but I sent a few hate (e)mails to Nike AND OSU for those freakin fugly ass jerseys! What happend to pride and tradition!?!?! What's next...maybe Penn St will put some stupid lion type thing on their helmets...or maybe Meeechigan will put that cute furry little creature of a mascot on their helmet? Sheesh....what the hell is going on here!?!?!
April 11, 200619 yr I wonder if the helmets are going to be grey. If that's the case, then it isn't a total loss. "You don't just walk into a bar and mix it up by calling a girl fat" - buildingcincinnati speaking about new forumers
April 11, 200619 yr Don't have a lot of good things to say about Michigan, I am a big fan of Lloyd Carr!
April 11, 200619 yr I thought the "T" in your TOSU would be "transit" but alas... I thought Tressel's Ohio state university
April 11, 200619 yr A). Hail to the whaaa? The university that got its mascot/name (Wolverine) from angry Toledoans? B). LLOYD CARR??!! That old, crazy baffoon!??! He's like the Wicked Witch of the North...minus the Goth motif. "You don't just walk into a bar and mix it up by calling a girl fat" - buildingcincinnati speaking about new forumers
April 11, 200619 yr A). Hail to the whaaa? The university that got its mascot/name (Wolverine) from angry Toledoans? enjoy your nut
April 11, 200619 yr From Columbus...go North until you smell it...then go West until you step in it! Ann Arbor is a whore!
April 12, 200619 yr A). Hail to the whaaa? The university that got its mascot/name (Wolverine) from angry Toledoans? enjoy your nut Better a nut than a rodent. "You don't just walk into a bar and mix it up by calling a girl fat" - buildingcincinnati speaking about new forumers
April 12, 200619 yr Author Wolverines aren't rodents, they're weasels! (hate to defend that school up north, but I have a ferret, which is in the same family as the wolverine, and I get tired of people calling him a rodent! :whip: )
April 12, 200619 yr A). Hail to the whaaa? The university that got its mascot/name (Wolverine) from angry Toledoans? enjoy your nut Better a nut than a rodent. you ever seen a wolverine in person, those things could tear the shit out of a bear, (seriously)
April 12, 200619 yr Author Members of the family Mustelidae (Wolverines, Badgers, Ferrets, Skunks, etc) are supposed to be the most voracious carnivores of the animal kingdom.
April 12, 200619 yr you ever seen a wolverine in person, those things could tear the shit out of a bear, (seriously) or a nut? IE-buckeye?
April 12, 200619 yr So we have a skunk versus a killer nut. Well, ain't that special. "You don't just walk into a bar and mix it up by calling a girl fat" - buildingcincinnati speaking about new forumers
April 12, 200619 yr LOL at the last few post. "Killer Nut" that had me laughing. I wish they had left some grey in those jerseys. Oh well what can you do. Guess I can find a old jersey and wear it until some one gets thier mind right at OSU.
April 12, 200619 yr Kevmr25, you should find yourself one of these! EDIT: not meant to imply that you're a dumb-ass - on re-reading, I realized that implication might come across - definitely not intended as such! Just mocking Mr. Clarett...
April 12, 200619 yr I like Lloyd because he is doing a pretty good Cooper imitation for OSU/UM football. Keep it up Lloyd!
April 13, 200619 yr This was posted on ESPN.com about the new jersey's and the Buckeye nations' disdain for them.... From ESPN.com 4/12/2006 Buckeyes fans uniformly disdain jersey changes ESPN.com news services Ohio State football fans are seeing red this week, thanks to a slight change in the school's football uniforms. The school introduced a new uniform that features slightly different stripes on the sleeves and changes the pattern (to scarlet-white-black from scarlet-white-black-gray). The sleeve is also slightly longer. Reaction has been swift and strong, according to Wednesday's Columbus Dispatch, which said that it received 734 votes in a poll on its Web site, topping the prevous record of 433 for a question on same-sex marriage (and more than the usual 100-200 responses). The newspaper said 79 percent of fans responding were against the new uniform. "I can't believe this is happening. I can't even concentrate on typing this message because I'm so angry," one fan wrote into the newspaper. Another compared the change to "New Coke." Full story at http://sports.espn.go.com/ncf/news/story?id=2406332 Also from www.ESPN.com Uni Watch Analysis If your official school colors are scarlet and gray, shouldn't those colors be on your uniform? The folks at Ohio State apparently didn't get that memo, at least judging by their new jersey. Like, if they want to change the width or spacing of the sleeve stripes, that's fine, but why get rid of the gray? Yes, the jerseys were gray-less for a while back in the 1950s, but so what? Those jerseys were also made out of cotton, didn't have the players' names on the back, and didn't have the OSU logo on the collar, and you don't hear anyone talking about going back to those design features.
