This introductory post was recently determined to measure four out of a possible five on the Princess Tai Pei scale of gayness. Congratulations! http://i145.photobucket.com/albums/r232/Azsharay/shitzu.jpghttp://i145.photobucket.com/albums/r232/Azsharay/shitzu.jpghttp://i145.photobucket.com/albums/r232/Azsharay/shitzu.jpghttp://i145.photobucket.com/albums/r232/Azsharay/shitzu.jpg

I graduated twice from 1996 to 2000. And it wasn't just because I have a Sham-Wow.

There are a lot of rumors about that. One rumor is that I sold it to Hugh Jackman. Another is that I froze it in a huge vat of liquid nitrogen and then dropped it off of the top of the Leveque Tower. Another is that I shifted it into seventh gear and it entered a wormhole to an alternate dimension. Still another is that Thor, the God of Thunder, was enraged by its torque numbers and tore it to pieces with his mystical hammer. Another rumor is that it disappeared after a night of heavy drinking and a ill-timed choice to sleep with his best friend's wife and sister.

LOL, was getting ready to post something similar. I do like your style, Kevin R, I really do.

But what kinds of materials could he possibly use to pull off such a feat of engineering?!?!?

I know a girl who works there. Her name is Julia. She's tall and has brown hair. This pretty much sums up all I am able to contribute to this thread at this time, which is essentially nothing. Leaving now.

Dear Coach Tressel, Also, while you're reading letters and considering plays, perhaps you'll give some thought to run what's known as a "sweep." I know, this may be a bit confusing, but stay with me. It's when you have the QB toss - yes, toss it, not hand it off - to the RB who - and this is where it gets weird - then runs outside of the tackles. If you need a minute here, I understand; it's been a while since you've run this play, so your head may be swirling at the thought of it. However, it has proven success: I'm fairly sure Eddie George earned his Heisman in large part because of it. You remember Eddie, right? A big back with surprising speed, kind of like, I dunno, Beanie Wells? Thanks, and good luck against Texas. Best Regards, Buckeye Nation

Yeah, the Ukranian murder video was posted. I watched it, minus the sound. I've seen a lot of very gruesome stuff, and even when trying to watch that in as "detached" a manner as possible (e.g., as though it's evidence in a forensic case I'm working on), it was too disturbing. Completely, without a shadow of a doubt, the WORST thing I have ever witnessed. Whoever said something things can't be UNSEEN is absolutely fucking right. Fuck that video, fuck those kids, and fuck me for clicking it.

Agreed. Style points matter, regardless of whether pollsters want to admit to it or not. Look at Oklahoma - you think they make the NCG (i.e., leap ahead of Texas) if they're only scoring 28 points a game and winning by only 10 points?

No one's mentioned anything about boxer briefs yet - they're great.

Served.

Agreed with you on Cooper - he was the very essence of a coach that was a master recruiter but was horrible at winning big games (e.g., Michigan and bowls). Tressel has only taken OSU to three NCG's - in 2002 against Miami, in 2006 against Florida, and last year against LSU. Off of the top of my head, when he got there in 2001, he went to the Outback Bowl (or Capital One?) and lost to South Carolina, in 2003 he went to the Fiesta Bowl and beat Kansas State (that had just routed Oklahoma), in 2004 they went to the Alamo and smoked Oklahoma State, and in 2005 they went to the Fiesta Bowl and murdered Notre Dame.

Don't sleep on Ole Miss - they have a very athletic team. Them beating Florida was less than a fluke than what most people think.

One touchdown and a point after, a field goal, and a safety?

Yikes, someone get this guy a Valium. For the record, I'm with you on Tressel: no, he doesn't need to go, he just needs to develop a couple of extra wrinkles in his coaching repertoire. And, WTF, you're only giving OSU four field goals in the game? Dude, Texas isn't exactly a defensive juggernaut - plenty of teams have put points up on them.

I'm far from a Big 10 historian, but I imagine that weather has something (a lot?) to do with the season ending when it does. I think, were it not for the inclement weather, the Big 10 would be inclined to play later in the year. I'd like to see Notre Dame join the Big 10. If they keep losing badly like they have been, that may (read: MAY) become more of a possibility.

Kind of agree with you on the big games thing, kind of don't. Yes, we've lost three very big games badly, and Tressel and the coaching staff definitely need to be held accountable for that. As Kenny has said about 47 times this year, Tressel et al have been waaaay too predictable lately, and that kind of game planning has led to us getting some major beatdowns. However, Ohio State has won lots of in-conference "big games" in recent years, though, in retrospect, those tend to diminish in their luster (i.e., they don't really seem all that "big" after the fact, but sure were pretty big leading up to the game). Not sure if Tressel needs to go, but that yellow type definitely needs to go. My retinas fucking hate you right now.

Ahforeal. Just filled up the Montero at Kroger for $23.46. $1.11 per gallon = awesome.

I'm agreeing with you on every single one of those points. I see now what you meant about no conference title games - the time off allows the rust to set in. Yup, OSU needs to develop the mentality that it will play any team, any time, any where, and, when it's up on a team, it needs to go for the jugular.

Hey guys, looking for someone I saw post up yesterday, has a "ron" and a 38 in his screenname. Anybody know who this is?

We had Texas on the schedule that year, and they were ranked #2, which I think effectively nullifies your argument that we never schedule real opponents. Second, not having a conference title game has nothing to do with them losing. Look at USC - no conference title game, and no problem winning lots of games. Also, we had a de facto conference title game that year with Michigan, who was also #2 at the time.

Plus one billion. That initial play by Ginn, where he catches it and then runs for like 40 yards, I remember thinking, "I bet Texas had no idea how fast this fucking guy is." How we ever lost with that team I'll never understand.

Texas will be distracted by the fact they feel slighted and believe they should be in the NCG. Ohio State will get to hear for next two months how great Texas is and how they'll get rolled. That should be a great motivator. Texas hasn't faced a defense nearly as good as Ohio State's. Ohio State hasn't faced an offense nearly as good as Texas'. Colt McFall-Down-For-a-Penalty was a freshman the last time Ohio State played Texas. Now, Ohio State is the one with the freshman quarterback...who, coincidentally, is cut from the same cloth as - you guessed it - Texas' quarterback Vince Young. This is the third time these two will play. Texas beat Ohio State in Columbus in 2005, and Ohio State beat Texas in Austin in 2006. Neutral field, this time (though Texas will probably travel as well, if not a bit better, than Ohio State). Both are national powerhouses. I think Texas is like third all time in wins, and Ohio State is fifth. (Michigan is first, Notre Dame is second, that I know for sure. Nebraska is in there, and so is Alabama. Penn State is too, though they are just behind Ohio State in total wins.) Texas is playing for a remote chance at a AP national championship. Ohio State is playing for redemption on the national stage. My prediction: Ohio State 34, Texas 24
