Racecar in reverse? Racecar. Mind blown.

I'm horrified of us having to play at Wisconsin in two weeks. Did I mention how much I hate Wisconsin?

I almost stopped reading after you said Ohio State plays in a "real BCS conference." Not this year we'd don't. If you think the B10 doesn't stink then you're delusional. Wait, didn't the 2008 Utah team beat Alabama? The Saban-coached Alabama of the SEC-SEC-SEC? And wasn't that 2009 Cincinnati team breaking all kinds of records for offense/points scored, etc? I'm not really trying to mount a great counter-argument. I'll totally concede that this Ohio State team could compete with all the teams you mentioned. I won't accept anyone saying the B10 this year is anywhere close to being a good conference. And I won't buy anyone telling me that this Ohio State team is anywhere close to being actually the 5th best team in the country. (And I'm a total Ohio State homer.)

P.S. I like the 818-R idea.

NO REVERSE? JUST DRIVE IN A CIRCLE AND GET THERE EVENTUALLY :gabe:

Nebraska has one of the few offenses that could keep up with Oregon in a shootout. I wouldn't cringe at that matchup. To answer your question, no, the only people who would think that in-depth about that issue would be Ohio State fans. I'd like to think Ohio State would get credit (e.g., "Hey, Nebraska almost beat Oregon, and Ohio State waxed Nebraska, so I bet Ohio State might beat Oregon"), but the reality is they wouldn't. If it even got that far in a dialogue, there are about 17 different excuses someone could give as to why you couldn't extrapolate Ohio State's merits based on a game that didn't include them.

Too bad we'd play exactly zero of those teams this year even if we were bowl eligible. But that's the point you're making - I realize that. You're saying, "But, Johnny Awesome, you said this was the worst 10-0 team in the history of 10-0 teams, and that's just not true." To make your point, you're bringing up teams like the 2009 Cincinnati team and saying how this Ohio State team could compete with that team. Point taken. However, I could counter by saying all those teams you just mentioned had - at 10-0 - a much higher pedigree than this 10-0 Ohio State team. Wouldn't you agree? My point is that we're 10-0 (and that's great), but I have to also consider the fact that we aren't quite as good as our record or our ranking would otherwise suggest. Tongue in cheek I said we were the "worst" - but I honestly don't believe that.

When I was at the NCG in 2006, an old lady - Ohio State fan - told me to sit down during the pregame festivities. DURING THE NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP GAME

Maybe I was being a bit too harsh in my assessment, and maybe you're being a bit too optimistic. Let's put it this way: I would have absolutely no issue with this team not getting anywhere close to playing for the NCG game this year even if we weren't on probation.

Alabama had like 14 yards for the entire game before the last drive. Good thinking going to prevent, LSU. And again LSU has a meltdown when it comes to clock management late in games. Does LSU just say "fuck it" when it comes time to practice the two-minute drill? I got healthy with the Oregon win. USC is a shell of it's former self. I'm a little embarassed for them. A little. Ohio State looked good. Still, they are the worst 10-0 team in the history of CFB, I think. It's a blessing in disguise that we're on probation; we'd get murdered by a real team. Oh well, fuck it, my team's undefeated - deal with it. All you can do is win the games on your schdeule, I guess.

MEH NEEDS MORE COPYPASTA

At least Steven's trolling had some substance. Irrelevant Post Paul is just, well, irrelevant as usual. Ironically, his irrelevance is the only thing that makes him relevant, if that makes sense.

PAY ATTENTION TO ME I AM A TROUBLE MAKER AND YOU WILL BE SO MAD

And Michigan really hasn't been Ohio State's rival since the 1990s. Ohio State has made such a habit of owning Michigan in the past decade it's difficult to consider them a challenge, much less a rival. You're right, maybe Michigan should stick to setting their sights on Michigan State and Notre Dame - Ohio State is likely a bit out of their league at this point in history.

I think he was just trolling, though I couldn't be sure because it seemed like he was drunk.

I find Hoke mildly annoying, but tolerable. I'm with you on Bielema and Dantonio being crybabies. I've been trying to hold on to some semblance of affection for Dantonio - considering what he did for Ohio State - but the more I see him the more I just dislike him. I don't like - or even understand - when coaches are so fucking aggravated all the time. Saban is another guy like that. Sure, you don't have to be all buddy-buddy with everyone all the time, but, for fuck's sake, you're getting paid a shit-ton of money in a dream/quasi-dream job. Lighten the fuck up already.

ITS A TRAP

What are you rambling about? Make sense or GTFO

That other ATM now has PTSD.

This has trap game written all over it. Also, stupid Illinois usually plays Ohio State tough. My order of dislike for teams in the B10: Wisconsin Michigan Illinois/Purdue (tie) Penn State Northwestern Michigan State Iowa/Nebraska (tie) Minnesota Indiana

Voted for your friend. She's winning 40% to Pochotittie's 33%. What is she trying to be, anyway - an Asian Egyptian? Whatever, hope this gets you laid.

I could walk on as QB and do better than Bauserman. I would probably throw it into like only the second row of seats.

One more thing - I've always been begrudingly impressed by Penn State's white outs. They were, from what I can remember, the first to do that (i.e., getting the entire crowd to wear a certain color), and they have always pulled it off well. One more thing x 2 - why can't/won't Ohio State renovate Ohio Stadium, or rebuild it, so that it has a retractable roof? Night games are so awesome, an enclosed stadium would make it even an more imposing place to play, and we could even attract "big events" to be played there. I know we have the money to do it.

Congratulations on the win. I didn't watch the game, but judging from the final score it wasn't much of one. I'll PM you and we can work out settling up on that Mobil 1 I owe you. Also allow me to publically extend thanks to Big Game Bob and Chokelahoma for helping to lighten my wallet. Notre Dame absolutely deserves NCG talk at this point. Impressive, really - as much as that pains me to acknowledge.

How much hair product do you use? There's actually a requirement about that in the S5 owner's manual. I'm curious to see how the S5 does in inclement weather.
