Well, we can safely call our relatives in Columbus, but better wait a while to chat with the Detroit branch.

That's about all I have to say...

That and GO MIAMI!!!!!!!

(said in best Eric Cartman voice): OMG.....hate OSU.....so much.......hate you guys......

I ended up being out of town this weekend in Evanston. While I was there we caught the Northwestern/Illinois game. Every break they kept announcing the OSU/Michigan game scores. I called my step-dad who is a HUGE U of M fan when Michigan pulled ahead! At every announcement you could hear mixed boos & cheers. It was just funny how all of these Northwestern and Illinois fans were so concerened with that particular game!

It was a good game, from what I saw of it. Congrats to the 2002 big ten champs, Ohio St.

I'd like to throw in there that they are CO-Big Ten Champs with IOWA :)

Thats true but by tiebreaker, Ohio st is the champs based on better record;)

Hmm, funny, why am I wearing a 2002 Iowa Big 10 Football Champs tshirt right now then ;)

That tiebreaker crap only comes into play when were talking about bowls - like who goes to the Rose bowl, since the big 10 sends its champ.

Both teams have a conference record of 8-0 - so theyre co-champs :)

Pshah.

REAL Conferences have Championship games(Big XII, SEC, etc)

To reiterate what ktsnake said on the first page, Kyle Field is TRADITIONALLY one of the hardest places to play as a visiting team. That hasn't been the case this year, and it most likely cost RC his job. Rumor mill has Dennis Franchione coming back to Texas from Alabama. God, that would be sweet!

Anywho, i'm rooting for OU here on out, what we really need is the Hokies to step up and salvage their season against Miami. Of course, A&M could help out OU somemore if we manage to beat Texas on Friday, i think it would help their strength of schedule. Of course, if i was Stoops and Co., i wouldn't hold my breath.

Gig 'em and Boomer Sooner!

Kitso
KS 361 days from now A&M will be talking Big XII title, if Coach Fran is leadin the Ags.

Unfortunately, ya'll won't beat us. But Happy Thanksgiving anyways! ;)

All i have to say is that OSU rocks! They pull out the plays when they need to and a win is a win is a win As for being co champs...who cares...we all know that Iowa lost and that is all that matters. It is just a techincality that they get to but put on the same platform as Tressels boys. We wont be seeing them at the Fiesta Bowl! Eat that!

Had a kick ass time in Columbus! Our room was packed! We had a suite. In the back room (bedroom) we had two beds and two air mattresses. In the living room area we had the pull out couch and three people sleeping on the floor. On Friday night we had a little party for our friends that were getting married and even more people showed up. The guys then took the groom-to-be to a strip club and the girls just hung out in the hotel bar.

Saturday we had to get 13 people ready with one shower. Boy that was kind of crazy. We told everyone that if they had to pee then they had to go down to the lobby.

We had to call three cabs to take us down near campus. When we got down there we someone has gotten separated from one of the cabs. About forty five minutes later we managed to run into them. It was so wierd...I kept running into people that I knew from Michigan.

We got to see a lot of semi-riots, people ragging on the Michigan fans, streakers, people puking and then proceeding to slam another beer.

GOOD TIME :)

It does matter for the bowl games which is why Ohio St is bypassing the big ten games to play in the main bowl game. They are the big ten champs based on tiebreaker, therefore they go to the best bowl game. There is a reason why Iowa is stuck in the rose bowl game. Trust me, I have seen Michigan, Wisconsin, heck almost every team tied with one another but whoever wins the tiebreaker wins the big ten outright. Its a crappy system but thats what they have for now. I wish they would let ND in or some school like that in to force a title game every year.

Hell, why not? We already have "Big 10 Math," meaning that there are 11 teams in the Big 10. Of course, if they let ND in, they'd probably have to be the "Big 13" with only 12 teams, because there's already a Big 12.

It's too bad that the crowd got so out of hand on Saturday night in Columbus. Celebrating is great, but burning other people's cars and damaging property is something entirely different. The real tough part is that a lot of insurance policies don't cover civil disobedience, so those folks are screwed!

(BTW, I've been in a few of those "victory" riots -- including one at Ohio State -- and they can get pretty dangerous.)

I agree there should be a championship game, but under the current situation, you've got to consider Ohio State the real champion -- they get to go to the big show, and the Rose Bowl kind of pales by comparison.

Deltalum, the rose bowl will be even worse in my opinion if Washington St gets in over USC and I heard they do hold the tiebreaker. That will mean 2nd best vs 2nd best. The whole rose bowl idea is getting out of date to me now that the bcs is in effect.

Just a wierd thought, any chance Marshall could join the Big 10 plus 1 in a few years? I heard they won't be in the mac forever and they would benefit from the recruitment aspect of being in the big ten. I know they are small but that would be an idea.

I just wanted to pass this along in case y'all hadn't seen it.

Michigan vs Ohio State game

You're just a little ray of sunshine, aren't you? :rolleyes:

Hey thanks!! Dont know who peed in your Wheaties but it wasnt me! So take your rude comments else where please!! Dont hate the Buckeyes! They dont hate you!

Haha Tracy - thats beautiful :) my sentiments exactly :rolleyes: :cool:



GO HAWKEYS!
Rude comments? you might want to look at what you wrote. Until the Big 10 has a championship game, like every other normal conference, Iowa does deserve to be co-big 10 champ - they were 8-0 in conference, just like Ohio (besides, they'd wipe the floor with OSU ;)). Boy, I'm gonna laugh when Miami runs all over OSU and Iowa ends up ranked higher than them in the final standings :)

Seriously...time to grow up! My comments were not pointed at an individual. OSU has a better record. End of story. Im sorry your team couldnt cut it when it matters. I know they might not of done it in the prettiest of manners but OSU did it! I dont think they were was anything wrong with my comments supporting my team. I am sorry you disagree with me but i disagree with you and i dont have to act 12 about it! Build a bridge and get over it! See ya in Tempe! oh no i wont :)

What's the point in arguing about who finishes 2nd best? No one really gives a crap about who finishes 2nd, 3rd, 4th or 5th. Miami will finish number one and the rest of yall will just be looking up at them.

Jilly is right, Iowa is second best. Losing to an unranked team that in turn loses to Oklahoma 49-3 is embarassing. Iowa will be ranked higher only because they will play a weak WSU team. Hawkeye fans luck out this year by playing Washington St instead of USC and not having to play Ohio St.
