Question No. 1: The BCS matchups will be ...:D :D
OSU's schedule is so weak:whistle: ...we just seem to be at the top of the list once again this coming fall......now will they be able to be there once again...only time will tell!!:D :D
Rose Bowl
Wisconsin vs. USC
This would be the first meeting between the two schools since USC's 38-3 win in 1966 and a potential rematch of the 1963 Rose Bowl, one of the most exciting ever with the Trojans holding off the hard-charging Badgers for a 42-37 win.
There's no off-season for these guys either. Get the latest college football news, features and much more at Collegefootballnews.com. The biggest obstacle between the Badgers and an at-large bid might end up being a mid-September road trip to Fresno State, but a BCS team has to win that game. The pieces appear to be all in place for Wisconsin to go on a big conference run. Remember, Bret Bielema's club got to a New Year's Day game last year despite a slew of injuries and major offensive inconsistencies.
This year's team is deeper, more talented, and the Badgers have a favorable schedule with Ohio State, Penn State and Illinois coming to Camp Randall. The road games aren't that bad, going to Fresno State, Michigan (which likely won't be gelling by Sept. 27), Iowa, Michigan State and Indiana. Assuming there's a home loss to Ohio State, one other tough defeat (Michigan State always seems to screw up big UW seasons), and the last spot in the big-money game goes to Wisconsin.
USC appears to be the class of the Pac-10 yet again and should make it five Rose Bowls in six years. So why won't the Trojans be playing for the national title? The defense should be killer, the offense should be explosive, and the schedule isn't all that bad, with the toughest road game coming across town against UCLA. But an early showdown with Ohio State could be the key, make-or-break game, with the winner going to the BCS championship. Even so, this isn't Pete Carroll's best team, and it could certainly lose at Arizona or at home to Oregon.
Orange Bowl
Boston College vs. Pitt
Is it possible the Eagles could lose the top quarterback in the draft and turn out to be better? It could happen if the loaded defense carries things until the offense comes around. The road schedule is a relative joke until November, going away from Chestnut Hill to face Kent State, N.C. State, and North Carolina before battles late in the year against Florida State and Wake Forest. Clemson might be the Atlantic's best team, but it has to go to BC, as does Virginia Tech.
Take your pick among the Big East teams to get in. West Virginia will likely be the preseason favorite, and while it's had to overcome some major personnel losses over the last few years and still succeeded, the defense should take a big step back, there's no Steve Slaton, and yeah, Rich Rodriguez really is good.
South Florida is loaded on offense, but late-season road trips to Louisville, Cincinnati and West Virginia, with the trip to Morgantown coming in early December, are all trouble. Louisville, Cincinnati and Rutgers will all be in the discussion, but Pitt just appears to be due.
The most talented team in the league after years of strong recruiting, this has to be the season it finally all comes together for Dave Wannstedt as the program builds off the huge win over West Virginia to close out 2007. While there are six road trips in the final nine games, West Virginia, Louisville and Rutgers have to go to Heinz Field. If you want to put West Virginia or South Florida here, there won't be any argument.
Fiesta Bowl
Missouri vs. BYU
Call this the make-up call. Kansas certainly proved it deserved the spot in the BCS with the Orange Bowl win over Virginia Tech, but Missouri still got royally screwed. With most of the key parts back on defense, along with Chase Daniel and Jeremy Maclin returning on offense, everything should be on track for another huge season. The Tigers — if they can handle being the hunted for the first time since, well, ever — should be able to take care of business and win the Big 12 title, but will likely get knocked out of the national-title picture with a road loss to Texas. Even if Texas or Oklahoma wins the league championship, Mizzou should get an at-large spot somewhere.
BYU isn't being shy about where it wants to be with "Quest for Perfection," the motto for its season. After two straight fantastic 11-2 years, this should be Bronco Mendenhall's best team yet, with QB Max Hall operating a high-octane offense and pass-rushing terror Jan Jorgensen leading a defense that should be strong if the secondary can reload.
The Mountain West should be better, with TCU and Utah each able to ruin the Cougars' dream, but the the non-conference schedule isn't bad with Northern Iowa, at Washington, UCLA and at Utah State. Would that be good enough to send a 12-0 BYU team to the BCS title game? That could be the big debate of 2008, but a huge win over the Bruins could set the tone and generate the buzz needed for the national attention. An 11-1 BYU should still find its way into a BCS date.
Sugar Bowl
Georgia vs. Oklahoma
If this actually happens, it could be the best matchup possible of superpower programs that have never played each other. Georgia has faced Oklahoma State three times, but never Oklahoma.
Remember, it's all about the schedules. Georgia just might be the nation's best team, but there are four gigantic landmines to sidestep — at Arizona State, at LSU, Florida in Jacksonville, and at Auburn. The Dawgs should be good enough to handle Alabama, Tennessee and Georgia Tech between the hedges, but it's asking a lot to win three of the four monster dates away from home.
Think LSU of two years ago, when it might have been the most talented team in America but ended up in the Sugar Bowl because it only pulled off two wins against a brutal four-game road slate. Going to a third Sugar Bowl in four years would hardly be a consolation prize for Mark Richt, but it would seem like that for a program that wants to be in Miami.
The Sugar Bowl will get the first pick of at-large BCS eligible teams if the SEC champion plays for the national championship, and that'll probably be the Big 12 runner-up, or the No. 2 team from the Big 12 South if Oklahoma, Texas and Texas Tech are all as good as expected. The Sooners are going to be fantastic again but they're flawed, at least on defense, with a little rebuilding needing to be done.
There's still the question of how good they can be on the road on a consistent basis, and they could have real problems at Kansas State, Texas A&M and Oklahoma State. Even so, they're good enough to get through the regular season with one loss and be in a position to play for the whole ball of wax with a few breaks and a win in the Big 12 title game.
BCS Championship
Florida vs. Ohio State
James Laurinaitis and the Buckeyes D will be nasty. ( / Getty Images)
College football fans outside of Columbus might welcome this matchup as much as a kick in the store, but it could happen even if they each have a loss.
Make no mistake about it, and like it or not, Ohio State is the most talented team in America. With James Laurinaitis, Malcolm Jenkins and Alex Boone all putting off their millions for another year, arguably the best kicking game in the country, Beanie Wells running the ball, depth everywhere, and Terrelle Pryor providing a possible bolt of lightning here and there, it'll be a shocker if the Buckeyes don't roll through the regular season, and that includes road trips to USC, Wisconsin and Illinois. Even so, there will be a collective groan if they end up in Miami instead of Pasadena.
Georgia might be the hot team going into the year, but Florida will be every bit as good if the secondary has overcome its growing pains. The defense might not be better than Georgia's, but the offense will be unstoppable with Tim Tebow likely to be an even better passer, Percy Harvin on the verge of a monster season, and a real live running game ready to operate behind a line strong enough to push some people around. Even if the Dawgs lose at LSU and/or at Auburn, the Cocktail-Don't-Call-It-A-Cocktail Party might be for the SEC East, the SEC and the national title. The Gators have to go to Tennessee, Arkansas and Florida State, but those should be manageable for a championship-caliber team. It'll be the home date with LSU that could be the big problem, along with the Georgia showdown.
Next 10 considered (based on talent, schedules, and/or potential to win a conference title): 1) West Virginia, 2) Clemson, 3) LSU, 4) Virginia Tech, 5) South Florida, 6) Texas, 7) Texas Tech, 8) Kansas, 9) Penn State, 10) Auburn.

I like your picks, but I may even slide Georgia in there to play OSU in the title game. Georgia looked very, very good at the end of '07 and they return plenty.
OSU will be in the title game if (and it is a big IF) they can tke down USC on the road. That game will determine their fate.

I gotta agree on Georgia. Stafford and Moreno are absolute studs. Can't argue with the winner of OSU-USC making it either. Michigan showed what UF's weaknesses were in the Bowl Game. Way too young in the secondary to hold up in the SEC

God we all agree:D .....I thought Georgia would be playing for the title last year..I was wrong there...but again, I never thought OSU would be in the title game either last year.:whistle:
My only expectation, is that EVERYONE expects OSU to be there again this year...and I really don't like that...USC is a big game, but Illinois beat us last year, and Wisconsin will be awfully tough.
I won't leave out Michigan......not a chance...especially if Rich Rod turns it around faster...but with holes in the line, and no quarterback...as of yet...that will be tough. PSU...will be tough to beat as well...that my friends is 5 Tough games to win...any one or all of them can be loses...which will turn into a sub par season.......I DO NOT LIKE THESE EXPECTATIONS...THIS EARLY:D :D
Redhunter1012

The thing is, OSU is now everyones #1 Rival. That honor used to be UM's. It just takes focus. As good as OSU is, the only thing I'd worry about is their offense if they fall in a hole early. If they have time to establish Beanie, then it's usually bad for the other guys. The only positive for UM this year is Rich Rods offense will be new to most of the Big 10. I think we finish 8-4
Deehntr56
04-07-2008, 10:28 PM
I think Beanie is really focused for this year...he has made it public, his goal is the Heisman.....if he is focused...look out....Saine is the sleeper in all of this, with him being an All Hio player, and with his speed, which we saw a little of at wide out.....if he gets back to his natural running back position, they could rrally tandem and have a heck of a backfiled......I can see Pryor, Saine and Wells in the backfield all together...could be interesting.:D
Not sure about all the hype......we also know...EVERYONE will be shooting to knock out the Buckeyes...every game, someone will want to be the spoiler...and as the season progresses, it will get more intense especially if OSU Knocks out USC and some of the others.....and Michigan will be primed to be the spoiler and RR will want to set the tone for his tenure.
The Michigan Game to me, this fall, will be bigger, more intenese and a game RR will be focused on since he came up to Ann Arbor...he has Tressel and the Buckeyes in his scope.....I can guarantee you...so Buckeye fans...grab your Buckeye:D .....RR has been planning for this coming November for a long time...just like Tressel did when he came to the Buckeyes, and instilled in the team, that Michigan is the game that they work all year for.

This is an interesting pre-season. Obviously, osu is sitting in a high-ranked position going into the season (deservedly so). Here is the thing...they have so much power in so many positions, but my question (obviously, biased) is do they have the QB to carry the team? I was not a fan of Boekman (or however you spell it) last year, and I think there will be so much focus (both from osu and their opponents) on Wells, that some of the close games will fall on the shoulders of their QB in passing opportunities. In my personal opinion, that will be their downfall (when/wherever)...their QB is not a big game QB. I just don't think he has what it takes to get them to the "promised land," but we will find out.
Michigan is out of the picture...sad to say. I am not expecting much from my boys this year. Who knows...I just hope the Big 10 shows up and earns more respect.

Todd B. did lead the Big Ten in passing efficiency by a wide margin and finished top 10 in the nation. ESPN has him ranked the #1 senior QB for the draft - I don't agree with that, but it does mean something. I think he is good and much better than the public gives him credit for - remember it WAS his first year on the field. Not many QBs turn in a better performance in their first year of play. He doesn't have (didn't last year anyway) a break away receiver to keep the top notch teams off balance. While Robiskie and Hartline are very, very solid, they just don't have that blazing speed to keep top DBs nervous. They both depend on running good routes and reading the defensive backfield to make plays. We didn't have a quality third receiver at all last year. Ray Small has never lived up to his potential and isn't a great route runner. This hurt TB too.
I thought overall he did great. Against the better teams (look at the NC game) he didn't fare too well. I expect you'll see improvement over last year and he will look like the PSU TB and not the LSU TB. He does get too much air on some balls and I don't like the coaches telling him it is ok and the receivers will fight for it - that is a falwed plan. He can make every throw possible and should have more poise in the pocket.
We will have a great third receiver this year too. A couple options to choose from - I see it being Stoneburner making a contribution and Posey/Washington splitting some time. Jake Stoneburner is going to be a big star - think Winslow. Nearly 6-6, legit 4.5 speed, very smart, good route runner and really good hands. He is a match up nightmare for anybody and is already impressing at camp.
Now if we can just find enough OL to block we might be ok. Adams is out for the year and he was going to be our starter:yikes: Shugarts, Skinner, Rehring, Person & Kerr are all injured:yikes: They say they have not seen a guy with feet as quick and as athletic as Adams since some chump named Pace!

lacure, I am no expert, but I thought Boeckman fell in love with the deep ball in the latter stages of the year last year. He was very good in the first 60-70% of the season, but then started to get erratic and had some turnovers. Considering it was his first year as a starter, I think he was OK, but I expect improvement this year.
The 3 games that worry me on their schedule are @USC, @Illinois, and @Michigan State. USC is losing a lot, but they are always loaded. Illinois has played OSU tough the last few years, but they lose Mendenhall and J Leman to the draft, and that will hurt them. Michigan State just always seems to give OSU fits, and with an ex-OSU assistant as theur head coach, I expect a fight from them.
Fish-n-Fool
04-08-2008, 09:31 AM
I think we go to Champaign and pound Illinois personally and am looking forward to it:biggrin: And MState lost a lot on the defensive front and overall should not be as good as last year and we absolutely killed them other than 2 plays - they were completely dominated.
I don't see any Big Ten game that should be close, but that is why you play them. If I had to pick one I think we could realistically lose I'd go with the Badgers. If they stay healthy they should have a great offense with 2 really good backs. They return the bulk of their defense, but it wasn't too good last year. They were woeful against the pass. If they improve there they should finish #2 in the league. They also are the only team Tressel has a losing record against - they really have his number so to speak.
USC is USC and to think we waltz into LA and just beat them is crazy. I think we have the better team and IMO the key to that game will be getting pressure on their inexperienced QB. They have a stable of backs and talent everywhere - the glaring weakness is at QB. If we do that and don't turn it over I think we win that game too.
Except for some real sloppy play or injuries (UM knows about this last year)this team really does have what it takes to run the table. It reminds me of 1998 and unfortunately we all know what happened there:coco:
Redhunter1012
04-08-2008, 07:25 PM
Devier Posey will be a freshman to watch for you guys. He is the next big thing for you. I do like Brandon Saine, but he doesn't play as fast as he is yet, especially for someone who ran a 10.3 hundred meters. If Ray Small would get his act together, you guys could be unstoppable. I seriously doubt that Pryor makes a serious contribution except for mop up duty. He really does need alot of work on his throwing. He'd still be a first round pick in 3 years as a DE if he wanted, that is how gifted he really is.
Deehntr56
04-08-2008, 07:54 PM
Yes, I agree on the thoughts on stoneburner and Posey...I really do feel after watching them play some up to this point, they can do real well. I am impressed with both.
Saine I also think will do well.....this coming fall will give an indication on how much, even with wells there.
Boeckman, should of grown some this year...I think he will hold his own..and he has the supporting cast to help....
I really want to see what the defensive line does this year...there are some very good players coming back, and returning from injuries along with young talent.....
deerhunt45
04-08-2008, 08:10 PM
Beanie is 100% healthy going into this spring, he never could say that last year! He is focused and by all predictions should have a Heisman type season. Boeckman has a season under his belt. His downfall last year was trying to force throws into coverage. He is as good as they have right now. I look for Brandon Saine to come alive this year. He was hurt alot of last year as well. Pryor will have to earn playing time, but with his speed I like his potential. I look for our offense to be exciting this year.
I think if Michigan wins 8 games it will be considered a good first year for RR. Good coaches can inspire players to play above their abilities, who knows at this point. It's nice to look ahead to the Buckeyes this year though ;) :D
You guys give some great scouting reports!

Bingo. I think 8 wins is very attainable with our schedule. Our defense is really pretty good, and our team will be much better conditioned. I keep saying it, but OSU has been way ahead of the times in terms of strength and conditioning, as was West Virginia. Now that we have their S&C coach, we will be way better. Remember, Rodriguez achieved enormous success with basically only 2 and 3 star recruits. Just imagine within 2 years what he will be able to do with the type of kids he'll get at UM.

We are in on a few big time QB's. Most likely we will sign 2. The top 2 are Kevin Newsome from Hampton Virginia, and Tate Forcier from California. We'll only get one of these two. Tate's older brother Jason actually just transferred from UM to Stanford before last season because of Mallett. Ironically, Jason would have been a perfect match for this offense, due to his quickness and ability to throw on run. Both of these guys are high 4 star players. Both are very mobile. Forcier has the better arm, but Newsome is a better overall athlete. Either would suit me fine, but I'd prefer Newsome, as would most UM fans. We just signed Teric Jones from Cass Tech, as a slot/rb type. He runs a confirmed 4.35 40. We'll end up with James Jackson, WR from Grand Ledge. He runs a 4.37 40. If you notice, Rich Rod is recruiting alot of speed on offense. No more Big slow WR's at UM. Speed Kills, and with a world class S&C coach, we'll have the muscle too. The one thing that we desperately need is an upgrade at Safety and DE. We have talented guys there now, but absolutely zero talent for depth. In case you didn't notice, were gonna be a little thin at OL. A few freshman will definately be in the 2 deep.
Deehntr56
04-09-2008, 07:54 PM
Yep, Newsome is a contender....has good speed and was recruited by RR at West Virginia.....so obviously..he will now look at the UM Program. At 6-3, 215he has legidimate 4.4 speed.
Tressel has been after speed from day one...that is what distanced him from the others, including UM, and he still needs more speed at the skilled positions. But he has made a lot of in roads. Ginn was one of the 1st, and then Smith, and Gonzalez(Who I watched play here often at St. Ignatius in High School)...were some of the players that made a difference.
As we all have seen the defense of OSU has been much quicker as well. with many being recruited into the NFL.
OSU Is also in the running for the Carmel Indiana quarterback Morgan Newton..6-5 215 with 4.5 speed..........he's a JR: last fall he passed for 124 for 213 for 1,900 yards and 25 touchdowns passing with a 165 passing efficiency rating....... 132 rushing attempts for 750 yards and 11 touchdowns. Was a first team all-state AP and Herald Times, first team 2007 Super Team Indianapolis Star, Indianapolis Star all-North, first team all-conference and first team all-Hamilton County.
He is a Scholar athlete and honor roll student. He has taken advanced courses since 7th grade and Father, John Newton played for four years under legendary Grambling head coach Eddie Robinson.

Red - I wouldn't count on Jackson until his letter is signed. He raved about his visit to OSU and he still has to make his trips to the south to see Alabama and Florida. He told our coaches he thinks he would like to leave home and get away; which would be good for Bama, Florida, etc. These kids could be steered in different directions for many reasons - heck I never blame a kid for leaving Ohio to go to USC - 75 degrees & sunny with hot women roaming the beaches; now that is just hard to compete with for a 17-18 yr. old boy!!!
I'd love to see the Bucks land Marlon Brown from Memphis, he is 6-5 and jumps like a cat. He catches anything even in his area on his highlight films - reminds me of Michael Jenkins. Not the fastest guy, but at 6-5 a 4.5 40 should create a nightmare on matchups.
Duron Carter from Fort Lauderdale is similar, but he is only 6-3 and maybe a little quicker.
I'd like to get one if these guys with Brown being my pick - I love the fast receivers that have height - it causes so many problems for a defense. You can nock a little 5-10 180 pounder off his route and jam them easy. That is hard to do to a guy that is 6-3 and 220+. And a backer sure ain't going to cover them either.
I will be surprise if either of these guys come north though.

Actually, we're really not having a legit "Spring Game". Gonna be more like a practice. Location was a major factor. It's still being called a spring game though. If we held it off campus, no contact with recruits I think. Kinda a wierd scenario. As for QB, our options are Steven Threet, a RS Freshman, and Nick Sheridan, a walkon Sophmore. Threet will win out. We have an incoming kid named Justin Feagin from Florida who will see significant time as well. He will be our only true "duel Threat" QB. As for Duron Carter, I'll make a friendly Wager he ends up at UM before OSU. I know he's Chris Carters son, but alot of former OSU alum don't have great relationships with Tressel, and Carter and Archie Griffen are 2 of them. Granted, it could be easily fixed, but it's not looking good for OSU yet, If you've even offered?
Deehntr56
04-10-2008, 12:45 PM
I agree there FNF.....Brown is a big tall receiver and his only knocks right now are his speed and he only benches around 215 and squats around 420...so his opportunities are speed and strength...but a good S&C coach and a good program like OSU:D ...will develop him.
I agree on Jackson may go South/West, but again, with an offense led by Pryor...he may make that decision and stay North...but I feel like USC.....will be his choice, and possibly Florida. But OSU looks real good too.
Shaquelle Evans from Calif. has an interest in OSU #7 In the country in his position, but he already has 8 offers or so, many from the PAC 10 conference and USC...I see this boy staying out West....but he is showing an interest in OSU.....He's 6-2, 192...with good hands,and has been a standout at the last 2 elite camps he has attended.

Red - You won't get a wager on carter from me as I don't think he will be playing Big Ten ball. I don't see him or Brown going north; they will both be playing down south in the warm weather - that's my best guess anyway.
And I actually went to school with Chris Carter's nephews (by marriage) here in SW Ohio. Chris came to our 7th grade basketball championship game to watch them play (they were the stars of our team). He stuck around our crappy little town that night and I met him the next day. He actually showed up at the middle school Saturday morning and played flag football with us - super nice guy. One of the nephews is serving a large prison sentence; the other placed top 25 in the state in 2 events in track and field as a freshman. He also started varisty FB and BB. After his freshman year, he quit playing ALL sports - didn't like all the pressure those around him were laying down. He is now a marine, married with 2 children; served in Afghanistan and Iraq - a great dude. He could have went to college for athletics no doubt, but life ended up good for him in the corp.

Have always respected Carter. Duron will be coming up to OSU and UM's camp with some kids from Florida. The most talented of these kids is Marvin Robinson Jr. He's still a sophomore, but is an absolute freak of a safety. He's already verballed to Michigan since he could walk. His HS coach (name escapes me) even went to OSU, and can't sway him to the dark side:p UM is showing Duron a lot of love, and he's been begging for a UM offer. I'll have to check, but I'm not sure if OSU has even offered him. UM is recruiting Jackson real hard. Most of our insiders feel good about our chances, but admit OSU has an outside shot, and that Florida is the real team to watch out for.
...BUT I think if Missouri can get by the ILLINI and stay composed all season I think it will be tOSU v. MIZZOU in the BCS champ game.
UGA needs to go undefeated and I do not see that happening. That team has been to cocky for it's own good in the past.
Redhunter1012
04-26-2008, 12:02 PM
Mizzou? That's a legit darkhorse. OSU's main concern is their OL. Despite what others on here say, they are banged up pretty good, and lack quality depth. They are worried about Cordle adding enough good weight to last at Center. They have alot of good freshmen, and maybe they will help. One thing that I always thought Tressell did well was get youngsters quality game experience no matter what the score. even if for a few snaps, that development is priceless. Osu's overall speed on Offense is not great either. We all know about Saine, but other than that they really do lack.

Jeffmo, everybody has already pretty much conceded that OSU should win. Why make a fools bet? And Beanie Wells isn't a burner by no means. Maybe 4.55 speed. He's just a powerful workhorse with great vision. Definately an awesome athlete. Seriously, do you want us UM fans to bow down and pledge allegiance to O$U? It aint gonna happen. You honestly bring nothing to these threads other than to talk crap. You tried to point out you had inside info because you knew Cordle's Dad, but then you state he's over 300 lbs and so good. If that's the case, go to his parents and ask his weight. Get him on a scale. He won't top 265 lbs. The only time he weighs more than that is just water weight. You haven't brought anything to any of these threads other than to puff out your chest and constantly refer to last years game. I'm pretty sure we all know that OSU beat us. I'll remind everybody that sweatervest has won 6 of the last 7 in the series. Oh, you guys have made it to 3 NC games in the last 6 years. Anything else you want me to add so you don't have to be so blatantly redundant in every post you make?

Simple bet..... OSU Beats um....again.....:biggrin: I ain't talking...I'm walking and waiting for some lightweight takers.......
We'll have fun with it...we can come up with something........what do you think Jeff?:biggrin:
Loser.......posts on his signature line.......that they LOVE THE WINNING TEAM AND THEY ARE THE BEST TEAM IN THE NATION, AND THEIR LOVE OF THE TEAM WILL LAST FOREVER????
EG........If OSU wins...the loser of the bet(Redhunter) must have in his signature line for 2 months............ OSU is the best team in the country, and no one is better or will be better than OSU!!!!
Yeah...I like that....or we can tweak that a little...but something like that:biggrin: :biggrin:

Jeffmo, everybody has already pretty much conceded that OSU should win. Why make a fools bet? And Beanie Wells isn't a burner by no means. Maybe 4.55 speed. He's just a powerful workhorse with great vision. Definately an awesome athlete. Seriously, do you want us UM fans to bow down and pledge allegiance to O$U? It aint gonna happen.

young man,you'd help your cause if you did 1 thing,LEARN.......TO...... READ!!
here's exactly what i said about Cordle:
"i couldn't find any source that listed him less than 295!"
now,who's wrong???
"You honestly bring nothing to these threads other than to talk crap."
"You honestly bring nothing to these threads other than to talk crap"
with that being said twice in your post,i have to ask,were you so mad that you were studdering?
what do YOU expect?
you're on an ohio board,and trying to tell ohio state fans how great the pusserines are GOING TO BE(in several years)! wake up,when it comes to football,most people in ohio HATE michigan.
maybe you should read a book about Custer,the concept would be an amazing awakening for you.
now,type all the pro michigan crap you want,and how much you know about their program,but i won't get into a battle of the wits with you again,it just wouldn't be fair.....you're completely un-armed!
now,puff your chest out jr.!

i say make the losers hurt like hell.the signature line should stay up for the entire year!
just my opinion but the loss of cash is what makes the pucker factor increase.
i still hear crickets though.:whistle: :whistle:

I have not or have not hear Lacure say that we expect UM to beat OSU this year. I'm conceding that you guys should win the next 2. Why keep begging for a bet? I'm not taking it straight up. You guys should be able to beat us handedly. What else do you want me to say? Jeffmo, all I was saying is that you just keep saying is "I want a bet", "I want a bet". Blah blah blah. Nobody's even challenging the fact that you guys are better. But you guys act as if we're not allowed to say we'll think we'll have a good team. I was having fun with all this, but basically we cant even talk legit football without you being a jerk. Have fun

a jerk huh??
well,i swore that i was going to drop out of any conversation with you but when it comes to that kind of statement i guess i'll have to respond.
here's some nifty quotes i have found that are JUST full of the football facts you like AND common courtesy as well:
."You and the rest of Mountaineer nation are idiots"
."I mean that cesspool of a campus in Columbus is so quaint and beautiful"
."Dee, you know crap!"
."Jesus Christ, you sound like a Fu**ing Retard with the "we got a higher rated player than you" crap"
."Jeffmo, your such a tool"
."You honestly bring nothing to these threads other than to talk crap"
."Oh, Sweatervest is such an upstanding, morally centered individual. He's so perfect. This just shows you he's a 2 faced lying prick"
."we cant even talk legit football without you being a jerk".
."As far as Appy St, that was a blessing in disguise "
(MY PERSONAL FAVORITE!!:D )
now,what would you care to talk about,who has the best looking cheerleaders??
