^^^ Tee hee hee. I don't hate the individuals devoted Buckeyes.

We all have our haters that are outside of our conferences. My USC coworker rejoiced for a week when UGA lost to GT. *blech*

Hook 'em.

I feel so dirty now.

What an amazing game last night!! We were jumping up and down screaming! I don't know if I can take another one like that Thursday night!

Go Gators!!!

Considering I missed the entire 3rd quarter when I dropped an entire bucket of OxyClean, then proceded to inhale it as I was cleaning up the mess, I can't say what happened. I can say that the OSU defense could have prevented that last TD just by standing there and doing nothing. The backfield was missing!

No lie, I was wondering why in heavens name they let Cosby get behind them. (but I'm glad they did!)

So glad the Horns won last night! I actually had to miss the second half so i followed it on my iphone. I really really hope the Gators KILL Oklahoma tomorrow!!!

First off, I think Ohio State should no longer be allowed to refer to themselves as THE Ohio State...and secondly, they should be banned from BSC bowl games. They apparently just aren't meant to win one. I'll now hunker down and face the backlash.

Using "THE" before Ohio State University seems more like a school pride thing to me, and not so much a football thing. There are a lot of OSU's out there -- and if they want to refer to themselves as such, what's the harm in that? I could have sworn I read somewhere that "The Ohio State University" is also the official name of the school. My sister Benzgirl can correct me if I'm wrong.

I know you're just speaking outta your ass here, but if they keep winning games and earn their way to a BCS bowl berth, then so be it. I doubt TPTB will ban them just because they can't win a BCS bowl game.

There are several other schools that emphasize the "THE" in their official names. Off the top of my head, I can think of THE George Washington University. It's a school pride thing.

Yes, clearly taking a far-better-regarded (and rated) UT team to the rack, losing to a last-second drive with some minor officiating help deserves this response.

The reality is that OSU was clearly the worst of the BCS teams, getting there primarily because the selection committee feared the ramifications of two mid-majors (and the resulting 1-6 Big Ten record is a result of having to move every team up one spot in a down year, as an aside). The fact that they came back to take UT to the wire actually speaks well of OSU, regardless of my personal distaste for Tressel's dipshit vest and probable cheating.

jojapeach · #13 01-08-2009, 07:10 AM

^^^ Exactly. I know I have my pride in graduating from The University of Georgia. We Bulldogs don't want any confusion with any other schools.

My son just called, they are tail-gating at the National Championship and he says it is insane! It seems like the entire Gator Nation has descended upon Miami!!

He is nervous, but the beer is helping.

GO GATORS~~~
