They might as well go ahead and hand out the crystal trophy to the winner of the tOSU/USC game in September and spare us the salad tossing of the winner for the next 3 months.

The Buckeyes will be pimped to the extreme by ESPN this year. It will be a solid competition between USC and OSU to see who gets more love.

I remember a few years back when I would wake up on Saturday mornings anticipating College Gameday like a kid waiting to watch his Saturday morning cartoons. Now I use it as an opportunity to mow the grass before the games start (if I'm not in Auburn, that is). Now watching Gameday doesn't do anything but make my blood pressure rise, what with their blatant bias and utter disregard for the SEC. It just pisses me off.

Georgia is being mentioned as one of the next winners this year in the SEC, who knows,but they are going to be good. That said, maybe they'll be the next SEC team to kick in their teeth. If that was to happen, I wonder how it will be spun by espn? Not that I give a shit what espn has to say. It's just very fun watching them back peddle.

After Florida whipped their ass, the excuse was "they had too bug of a layoff and weren't prepared." GIve me a fucking break, even if that is the case, Who's fucking fault is that?

That was a lame fucking excuse. It was espn's fault for not spotting their slow ass 15 points before kick off.
One would think after so long they'd accidentaly use '' the SEC teams are just bad muther fuckers and kicked our ass '' excuse at some point. I would at least give them the respect of being truthfull.

It won't happen until Herbstreit gets a labotomy. But, the question is, Would we really want two Lou Holtzs on T.V.?

I can see it now, a labotomised Herbstreet and the senial Holtz arguing over who the hell is going to give those stupid ass pep talks. I'll give the espn producers credit ,if they keep those going, it shows they have a sence of humor or they're too fucking stupid to realize people laugh at it more than they take it serious.
I guess either way we're the winners in that senario.

We knew it was coming....well, atleast I know I did. Remember during the 2nd quarter of the Championship Game, Herbstreit was talking about how good of a team they'll have coming back next year...That was the clue. Now add, they play USC and......that's about it. 11-1. Championship. If an SEC team does get in, I HOPE OSU makes it. (1) it'll give us another MNC and (B) Herbstreit will finally Shut The FUCK UP.

Dude, could you imagine if OSU gets to the game, and they have to face off against UGA (all in black)? More than likely, OSU will get hosed, again, but the media will come up with excuses, as usual. Though I will swear to you, if this happens, OSU will never, EVER, want to see an SEC school again... Though I doubt they do now.

The Prowler · « **Reply #12 on:** April 23, 2008, 12:34:30 AM »

That would be freakin' sweet. They'll say...."Well....ah...everyone knows the South cheats in recruiting....and their Academics are lower than ours up on this high perch." Come to think of it. That's EXACTLY what they'd say, if that happened.

Welcome Bls, I think Uga will have the toughest road to the MNC,
09/20/08 at Arizona State Sun Devils
10/11/08 Tennessee Volunteers
10/25/08 at LSU Tigers
11/01/08 Florida Gators (Jacksonville, FL)
11/15/08 at Auburn
I think at best they go 3-2 in those 5 games. I hope an Sec team can make it out of league alive this year but it will be tought. I agree with Ogre I can't stand gameday and all the Usc-Osu sun shine pumpin'!

I would prefer for them to get there and have to face off against us in blue jerseys. Just sayin'.

Appreciate it jumbo. I agree with 2 losses. I'm not sure that will cut it this year. We're about to see what Richt is made of. The expectations on GA. this year is going to put a little bit more pressure on the staff and team, regardless of what he or the team say. It's going to be there and I'm anxious to see if he can keep the team focused enough to pull it off. It's a tough row to hoe. As crazy as the SEC is though another team could explode on to the scene.

Having seen how amped up UGA gets in their black jerseys, I would think that would be even more bad news for OSU than normal. Don't think I'm not giving Auburn their props, but you are replacing too much in my opinion to play for a title. And I totally agree that UGA has a hard road to get there, but a 1 loss UGA gets the nod over and other 1 loss team in my book. Especially if that one loss team is OSU, in a road loss to USCw. But then again, that's an SEC fans input. I doubt the media, and it does seem like, they have no problem giving OSU a third, fourth, and fifth chance to get some hard wear.

I hold no illusions about next year. We have to have a number of unknowns fall into place very quickly in addition to the usual brutal SEC schedule but hope springs eternal. Until we lose we have as good of a chance as anyone. We have a chance to squeak some of the first ones out with our defense if it takes the offense a couple of games to get on track. We will not survive long if the offense goes into the slump it has the last couple of years though.

Damn I love the South! 4/23/08 and what is the topic? College football.

Hate admit it but I have the same problem on another board.
