Ohio State Football

The fact that you are overwhelmingly better than your entire conference is not something to brag about.

You should be ashamed.    You just admitted that your conference is a total joke.

Instead of bragging about how you have the only good team in a bad conference, why don't you demand your failure of a Big-11 commissioner fix the conference and make it competitive.

JT, I agree they're 22-2 SU & 18-6 ATS in conf the last 3 years! Which is great for betting purposes. However, it hasn't done a lick of good for them come Championship time and they have done nothing to change that fact (other than Ginn they've not had a real playmaker). They've been exposed as too slow and athletically-challenged against the top national teams. But no doubt they're a ATM machine  in conference games.

Yes, pait OSU reg. season then bet against em in the title game, nice and simple so why is every1 complaining?!  Yes, they are slower, and less athletic then SEC teams, but they did have a top 10 draft pick and Jenkins woulda been a top 3 CB so don't be ignorant saying no real playmakers.

Wait what Ohio State should do is leave the Big 10 for a year and go to the SEC right?  What can they possibly do but play the teams that are on their schedule?  I should be ashamed of being part of a confrence that has traditionally been the best in the country.  Once Rich Rod turns Michigan around and Illinois continues to improve the Big 10 will be just as strong as any other confrence in the nation.  Also aside from Ohio State why don't you look at the record of the Big 10 against the mighty SEC.  Also, why don't you look at what Ohio State has done to improve their schedule.  How about a home and home with USC followed by a home and home with Miami followed by a home and home with Oklahoma.  Please don't talk to me about the stregth of the Big 10 nor about how Ohio State plays a soft schedule.

So I guess Santonio Holmes doesn't count either?

And I guess Nate Clements the highest paid corner and I think the highest paid defensive player in the NFL doesn't count?

And AJ Hawk is not one of these for the Packers already after 2 years in the league?

and Donte Whitner is without a doubt one of the best players/playmakers on the Bills

Hate to keep coming back to this but does Vernon Gholston not count as a gamebreaker?  Then why don't you look at what they will send to the draft this upcoming season.  How does 3 top 10 picks sound?  Chris "Beanie" Wells, Malcom Jenkins, and James "I've Got a Serious Case of" Laurenatis.  These players will all be top 10 picks not to mention Lawrence Wilson who broke his leg this past year but is basically a bigger version of Vernon Gholston.  Then you have Boone who will also be a first round pick.  This is not even counting Robiski and Hartline who are both recievers with top end speed.  Ohio State has been as successful as any program in the last 5-10 years sending players to the pros who also suceed.

The loss to Florida was devastating.  That team we had was better and they were too confident and got their doors blown off.  They were outcoached as well which was the hardest part to take as a Buckeye fan.  However last year was a "rebuilding" year where they still made the NC.  LSU was the better team and we knew this going into the game.  This year is the year that Ohio State was supposed to make their title run.  ANYTHING short of NC victory is a disapointment this season.  If they get there and lose in the title game I might shoot myself in the head.  All I can simply say is there has been a change of style at Ohio State and this will show over the upcoming years.  This is the most loaded OSU team I have been alive for and they will show the talent September 13 when they beat USC in the collesium.
