Rally Pat Posted August 24, 2010 Report Share Posted August 24, 2010 Are there rules against them just unofficially getting together and playing anyway? It may not count for anything, but at least we would keep the tradition going. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brrcats Posted August 24, 2010 Report Share Posted August 24, 2010 I whole heartedly agree with that article. It would be a shame if they mess with tradition because it comes out better monetarily Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaddyBuiltRacing Posted August 24, 2010 Report Share Posted August 24, 2010 Calm down, they are not getting rid of OSU/Michigan. There was a question asked at the b10 meetings 2 weeks ago about OSU and Michigan possibly meeting up earlier in the year, the media has ran wild with it over exaggerating it. I am laughing at all those people who cried about wanting another team added to the big 10 so there could be a conference championship game. Well now that there is a 12th team, topics like the one at hand have come up due to the league eventually splitting into 2 divisions. The big 10 is saying "we fear 1 division would be stronger then the other" so they are talking about setting the divisions up like this West: Nebraska Penn St Iowa Wisky Purdue Northwestern East: OSU Michigan Michigan St Illinois Minnesota Indiana The problem with that is 1. Penn State is the furthest team east in the entire conference, how the hell do they get stuck in the west. 2. Penn St vs OSU is becoming a huge rivalry, same with Penn St vs Michigan. 3. Illinois vs OSU is also a big rivalry (they play for the illibuck every year). What they need to do is drop 1 of the out of conference games and add 1 conference game so rivalries will continue on as they are now.

DaddyBuiltRacing Posted August 24, 2010 Report Share Posted August 24, 2010 Oh btw the big10 sold out long ago, Ohio St is wearing another shitty looking "throw back" uniform this year against Michigan, due to the contract the b10 signed with Nike.

2 Sweet Posted August 25, 2010 Report Share Posted August 25, 2010 No more OSU/UM? Where'd you hear that? What the hell are you guys smoking? If OSU and Michigan end up in different divisions, they will move the game. When Rich Rod gets canned and UM finally gets good again 10 years from now, what happens when OSU wins their division and UM wins theirs? Assuming they continue to play against each other the last game of the regular season, would you really want to see a rematch one week later in the title game? That would be pretty lame, which was one of the initial reasons they were thinking of moving the game earlier in the season. Personally I'm against it, I say they should just end up in the same division, that way you never have to worry about facing each other in the title game and you can keep the game on the date it's always been.

HotCarl Posted August 25, 2010 Report Share Posted August 25, 2010 Are there rules against them just unofficially getting together and playing anyway? It may not count for anything, but at least we would keep the tradition going. No coach or AD in their right mind would EVER do anything like that. Have a game against your rival "off the books" just b/c you want to. What happens if your starting QB gets injured and cant play in a bowl game thats already scheduled. Say you win but the opposing team doesnt "observe" that win b/c remember, it was "off the books". Instead of having a 13 game regular season, make it 14 but somehow unofficial. It wouldnt work. HOWEVER, i do agree that they should always schedule this game at the end of each teams regular season. Regardless of the possibility BIG10 splitting into two different divisions. If they cant play the last game, let them schedule their first game every year against each other. After all we get to schedule our own 3 non-conference games at the beginning of every year so why not? That way the team would have all summer to prepare too.

sol740 Posted August 26, 2010 Report Share Posted August 26, 2010 I wrote to both Delany and the AD's. Every real OSU/TTUN fan needs to. jdelany@bigten.org athletic_directory@osu.edu Geographic split makes the most sense because all teams have ups and downs. Not only easier for travel, but to save "THE GAME". Michigan and OSU need to be in the same division, and play the last game of the regular season, in hopes of likely getting a shot at the championship, or spoiling it for the other guy. Ohio St Michigan Penn St would be the usual power teams in the east. Wisconsin Iowa Nebraska would be the traditional power teams west. Splitting OSU, and Michigan just so you could hope to have an OSU/Michigan B10 Championship is STUPID. Its very unlikely it would happen as often as some people would hope, as generally one team is on the up, and the other on a "down" (down for either team is usually still 7+ wins, Michigan is just being "special" the last two years). Plus seeing as how we are looking at a 9 game in conference schedule within a couple years, the cross divisional play will simply be on a rotation, you're playing teams you want to play. Look at the Florida St, Miami split in the ACC. How many times have we had the storied ACC championship (the reason they were separated) ... 0 times. That's how many. Or look at the old OU vs Nebraska rivalry which use to be HUGE ... and is now dead because the voters decided to vote against tradition. Sure OU got an even bigger rival in Texas ... but Nebraska got nothing. Lastly ... playing Michigan in football should be a once a year thing for annual bragging rights, I don't ever want them twice ... ever ... win or lose. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You gotta remember though, there are those fans out there that say "I would play michigan every game of the season if that means we went 12-0 and they went 0-12" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

truckin Posted August 26, 2010 Report Share Posted August 26, 2010 Where did all the talk of NO OSU/UM game come from? Never heard that. Only heard it may not be possible to to have it as the last game. Come on people......... It hasn't always been the last game of the season....only since the 40's i believe. And ND can F off, I hope they never join the Big Ten Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
