Who should really be in the BCS Title Game | Page 5 | TigerFan.com

Sometimes when your opinion isn't the same as someone else's, you aren't allowed to have that opinion in peace.:rolleye33:

I disagree for the most part with the Gator...but I certainly respect his opinion. To say USC has had a tougher road is questionable...based on the fact that the teams that SHOULD'VE been good OOC teams-Nebraska and Notre Dame-SUCKED. Also, the loss to Stanford just destroys them IMHO.

OU would have a beef...but the fact is, whether we like it or not...OSU plays in a Major BCS conference...and has but one loss to a team that will represent that major BCS conference in a BCS bowl. They beat the stew out of Wisconsin and Penn St as well...both DECENT teams in the Big 11. OU lost to Texas Tech, and the team that will play Bama in the Indy Bowl...6-6 Colorado. OSU is the #1 team in the country...bottom line.

There are quite a few teams that may well beat OSU at this time...same can be said for LSU. But the fact is, OSU is #1, and LSU is #2. Virginia Tech has a better claim than either OU OR USC, as they are #3.

That's it? That's all you can come up with?

Look, everybody, you people need to realize that the vast majority of people who have more experience with football than any of us agree that Ohio State is the #1 team in the country.

! I see a lot of y'all are pretty upset (rightfully) about some of the lack of respect you get from the talking heads this year. Well, there are two things to consider.

First, if Herbstreit, Corso or whoever disrespects your team, then you need to apply some pressure on them. Write them an angry letter or something. This LSU team we have this year is no better than any LSU team we've had since 2000. Yet, we'd never get any respect from Herbstreit, Corso, etc. So thousands of Tiger fans have written them thousands of death threats, promising to bomb their homes, etc. One Game Day at LSU, some angry Tiger fan tried to nail Corso in the head by throwing a golf ball at him. After that, the Game Day set had to surround itself within a big, protective net whenever it came to LSU. Anyway, I've noticed that after all the pressure that Tiger fans have put on Herbstreit, Corso, etc. to respect us or else, they have finally caved to the pressure. I mean it seems to me that LSU is now one of the most hyped teams in college football. Corso is practically an LSU fan now and Herbstreit warns all the new talking heads not to say bad things about SEC schools if they know what is good for their personal safety.

Second, if you don't feel like writing angry letters to the talking heads (I've never done it), then just realize that the talking heads are just entertainers. ESPN is the Entertainment Sports Network, not the Educational Sports Network. No educated college football fan cares what the talking heads think. Those guys are just up there to entertain, not educate... and they know it, too.

gee john, based on this and other similar posts at buckeye planet, i have to wonder if you are a LSU fan, a osu fan or a suck up?....so which one is it osujohn? i'm thinking door # 3 why don't you refresh our memory regarding the thousands of death threats given by LSU fans to ESPN personnel? c'mon osujohn, time to show your true (scarlet & grey) colors

kcal,

I post at Buckeye Planet as well and I've been wondering the same thing. However, his Ohio State knowledge is either very limited (just jumped on the bandwagon) or he playing shenanigans over there to pump up Ohio State.

have no problem with his being an OSU fan or an LSU fan but this sucking up eddie haskel routine is weak and pathetic....c'mom john, i'm calling you out!

Well is he is really an OSU fan, then that is lame coming on here as LSUJohn masquerading as an LSU fan.

It's interesting that he joined as soon as he found out OSU was in the national championship against LSU.

I knew something was up with John.:nope:

JohnLSU · Dec 28, 2007

Anybody find any other juicy posts of mine at Buckeye Planet? Come on... keep looking...

VABuckeye · Dec 28, 2007

Weel, at least he's consistent. He's masquerading as an LSU fan on an Ohio State forum as well.

Yeah, poor Britney. She was on top of the world not too long ago, I remember Louisiana people were so proud to claim her, rumors of her going to LSU and enrolling in sorority rush excited the multitudes. And now her own state doesn't even want to claim her (and yes, she is pretty much Mississippi, being that she was born there and then raised--as a Baptist even--a few miles away in a town that just happened to fall on the Louisiana side of the border).

But as for national household names, you pointed out a good one that I didn't think of -- Shaq. He's a straight-up LSU grad that everybody has heard of. I even got the privilege of seeing him play at LSU (we had the Shaq-o-meter that registered the crowd noise whenever he dunked, it was awesome).

But as for Pete Maravich and Bob Pettit, they are way too old to be considered names that everybody has heard of. As for David Toms, Paul Byrd, Ryan Theriot, Mike Fontenot, and Jimmy Andrews -- I have absolutely no idea who those people are. Joey Belle I have heard about (he played baseball), but he wasn't such a mind-blowing-unbelievable superstar like Terry Bradshaw or Peyton Manning that he would be considered a household name that everyone in the US has heard of.

Same thing with Joe Addai -- I didn't list him for the same reason I didn't list Louisiana boy Marshall Faulk -- I don't think they are big-time enough to be considered "national household names" (a term I thought would have been understood as meaning "people who everyone has heard of, whether they are average sports fans or not").

since you asked JohnOSU....btw...i'm still waiting the details about the thousands of LSU faithful that sent death threats to ESPN on air personnel. put up or shut up and go away, f'n troll.....

Here, I just wrote this email to bhelmLSU :

Look, if my behavior here on TF is angering or hurting you, just write me and tell me about it. I'm a cool guy in real life. Please explain to me why you gave me a bad reputation mark and wrote "Damn Trolls." I have never in my life given a red "bad reputation" mark to anyone. You are only the second person to ever do so in my time here on Tiger Forums. It's like back-stabbing somebody or talking behind their back. Why not just write me a note, telling me how you think I am out of line? I don't like hurting people. I am a nice guy. Like I said, I'm pretty cool in real life. I'm sorry that I apparently don't come across that way via the internet. Could you please explain?

-John

Kcal, you have gone psycho. Anybody else who would read those same threads you are on BP would clearly appreciate me as a Tiger fan. Apparently I have pissed you off beyond belief. I am sorry.
