IMO, Beanie is the crux of the issue. Tressel has shown over and over again an unwillingness to be creative in playcalling, and without beanie, I'm officially worried. If this game goes badly, i'll be convinced that God is seriously pissed at us.

I completely agree. They are not a top ten team. No Big Ten team should be in the top ten.

They are on par with the MAC and CUSA. Michigan will probably compete for the championship in the Big Ten this year (as they did last year AFTER losing to App St).

The good news is that Tosu will be left out of the BCSCG.

Buck, BRO I think you are taking the comments of a few a little personal. Hatred for LSU is a common disease on say, A CONDOM board but for the most part the consensus is that OSU will not have an easy geaux with them condoms. The far and few proclaim your being of a lesser quality and even fewer have forgotten you were #1 going to the ship. Even SabanFan gave you the opportunity to play the game which is almost something which may be considered sig worthy. IMHO, I believe the bucks are a worthy opponent to any quality team in the country, so is USC, so is Florida and the reality is all relevant comments should be savored for during and after the game but what is even more real is if tOSU gets that ass handed to them then your relevancy as a big time CFB program will be in question till you do. You see, for every cupcake SEC crack we have to take your destiny shall be even worse should you be embarrassed in the coliseum tomorrow night. I PRAY for a Buckeye victory but the game has to be played for those prayers to be answered. Best to you and yours and may this game remain close and hard fought without any further injury to the rest of the season. Your contributions here are valued and particularly by those who simply enjoy the game. You wanna feel better about the buckeye nation then geaux on over to wearesc.com and find that in a few minds we are lower then dog**** over there because we throw bags of piss at opposing players. Thats the nature of an opinionated nation. Don't let the few get you down. I learned the same lesson.

That's what I'm screamin'.

Cali, that was beautiful. Made me puddle up.:bncry:

Buckeye, you need to get a grip. No one here wants to see the Condoms beat your guys, but after that exhibition last week, we fear for your beloved tree nuts. OSU's performance in the last 2 NC games has raised the question of whether they are pretenders or true champions. I'm afraid this is their swan song if they get beat up in L.A. Sorry, but that's just the way it is. I hope like hell you are a happy dude on Sunday and getting after those who doubted.

And besides, even you are on the trash the Buckeyes bandwagon:

Ten upset specials for Week 3...

1 of 10 --- No 5. Ohio State at No. 1 USC
When No. 5 plays No. 1, it's tough to really call it an upset. But show me a man who honestly thinks Ohio State will beat USC, and I'll show you a Buckeyes fan.

Here's a link to the other "upset specials"...

I don't think that's trashing the buckeyes, simply stating a tendency. I'll see you guys and gals tomorrow.

The Condom fans are developing a sense of humor. A sign seen on Gameday said Tebow helps 3rd world coutries - SEC schedules them.

Not bad. :lol:

My problem with Tosu is that their fans act like they are the be all end all of college football.

As a kid, I used to enjoy Michigan/OSU. That was before I was out and about and had to deal with these arrogant p****ks.

They were absolutely arrogant before the UF game after the 06 season.

Then last year before our game, they were condescending as hell.

All of this, playing in the Big Ten. I could tolerate Tosu, if their fans came out and said, "You know what, we are lucky to be in the CG because the Big Ten is horrible--we probably shouldn't be here".

Or at least say, "hey, our conference sucks, but all we can do is beat these losers".

But no, no, no. They are constantly spinning their conference as legit, trying to use stats to prop up their silly arguements and vehemently deny that the Big Ten is substandard.

App St drilled Michigan in the Big House last year. Utah beat them this year. The last two CGs have proved that Tosu can't play with the SEC. But you think this gives them any humility? Uh-huh. Nada.

So everytime they play and lose, I take particular joy in it. The bottom line is, five or six teams in the SEC would win the Big Ten every year.

Watching some of tOSU and Condoms and I see a T. Pryor as a true freshman looking MUCH better the Boeckman all day long. Birds eye opinion.
