The first. Problem with tOSU is that you have to many players not enough touches, Carroo's our clear number 1, so he's going to get the lion's share of our balls. It's just weird that you add that hyperbole to Carroo when you have a different WR on top.

Yeah.. It isn't hyperbole when Ohio state has a disgusting amount of talent on offense. Thomas (with his talent) is almost a sideshow instead of being in the main event.

Saturday will be Bret Bielema's 38th non-conference game as a head coach. Fresno State (#21) in 2008 was his only ranked opponent.

Which is why I it's acceptable they get a pass. If they keep winning their games in convincing fashion, they should be fine and can ignore all the schedule talk. If the scoring margin in these games start to dwindle, something is suspect.

"several"
All I know is that the other conferences need to get real and play a round robin schedule.

Should be mandatory. Let's petition for a Presidential executive order to get this thing done.

I already thought they might disappoint due to their schedule and defensive attrition, but t his is getting ridiculous.
Unless someone steps up Baylor might run away with the conference.
I don't want to live in a world in which Baylor wins back-to-back-to-back conference titles. If nothing else that's proof that the Big 12 is a joke and should disband.
Baylor doesn't escape the criticism though. Last year everyone was shitting on them for their weak OoC schedule costing them a shot at the playoffs and they go and schedule Incarnate Word and Liberty.
Well yeah, Texas Tech isn't great now (up and coming program something or other), but they're at least a competent P5 school. Arkansas isn't one of those schools in the conference that has an in-state non-conference rival that they play every year, so I think it would do them some favors to schedule at least a couple P5 non-conference games every year.
Damn, they are having a rough start to the season. They have a couple cupcakes to get some stuff ironed out on the defensive side. However, SMU looked pretty good in the first half against Baylor so they better be ready for that one.
Just found this amazing video of Erk Russell winning the game ball from a win over South Carolina. Some great moments of Vince Dooley in there too. Wish I'd been alive to see Erk coach at Georgia.

Here's the story about the assault and robbery on 3 TCU students that people believe was committed by 3 TCU football players; one of them (the one with "long, bushy hair") is suspected to be starting DE Mike Tuaua.

Yeesh.. So Baylor has the edge we all think? Might wanna flip my prediction to Baylor after all..
Maybe an understatement. Though they were at least flirting with mediocrity in their last few seasons in the Big 12.
I checked and they're 3-32 in Pac-12 conference games.
Lol, weren't even playing us and felt the need to call us out. Sounds like FSU.
Still plenty of room with me on the WVU train!
There's a good reason there's plenty of room left on that train.
Extra space that used to be occupied by couches?

Cool stuff. I hate to see rivalries end due to conference realignment though, and wish it was permanent.
FloydtheFathead
Member
Real OSU? When did Ohio state ever shorten to OSU. We are The Ohio State University (tOSU) silly cowboy.
Is he good?
Yeah. Sucks. Hate when realignment happens. It can be fun in someways, but sucks when good rivalries die on the vine.
Yes. Has a chance to be very special.
FloydtheFathead
Member
More special than Brandon Weeden? Because he was plenty special for my NFL team..
Goddamn the Browns suck.
What school did Maurice Clarett play for?

... No.. Just no.

I thought we were tOSU.
I was briefly a Browns fan because of Weeden, who was by a pretty wide margin the greatest OSU QB ever.
I was cured of Browns fandom pretty damn quickly. I'm willing to root for a team that's bad with a plan to get better, but rooting for flat-out incompetence gets old fast.
Who made you dictator?Lonestar said:
tOSU/MCU/Maurice Clarett University/The School for Which Maurice Clarett Played Running Back: Ohio State
OSU/Xerox U: Oklahoma State
Oregon State can claim any leftover acronym/nickname when one of their fans shows up.

That shows you have no character (or value your sanity) sir.. One day we will win.. When it happens, it will be sweet. I think it's safe to say that the drunk was a large portion weeden's success

tMCU, guys.
They tried to pull me back in by drafting Justin Gilbert, but I was wise to their tricks by then. Glad I only bought a clearance Weeden jersey instead of a new Gilbert one when I visited Cleveland last summer.
I look forward to Gilbert joining ProSU (a/k/a the Dallas Cowboys) and reuniting with his fellow alums Dez, Weeden, Bailey, Randle, and Patmon.
It feels dirty to (kinda) root for Dallas.

We differ in one respect:
The Browns are never going to win. Ever. We'll keep rooting for them but both of us will surely die without the Browns ever having even sniffed a Super Bowl.
FloydtheFathead

It's less rooting and more praying for me at this point and accepting the inevitable depths of failure.
The Browns keep me humble.. The Buckeyes lift me up. Balance Cyan, balance.
And that is what makes us good people.
It feels like it cause it is.
If it makes you feel better, most Florida fans weren't fans at the time anyway. Florida football only started when Spurrier came.
Why in the ever loving fuck would you give them the "t" that they so desperately demand be put before their name? Have some self-respect.
I think if you combo this with Lonestar's plan, you get a name that accurately describes their program: wOrSt
I will never root against Dez.
