FanNation - The Republic of Sport

You say, "You relinquish the top spot, and I don't see a single blog, anywhere. Is that how it works with fans of Ohio State?"

Well, I'm here. That's right. Mr. Buckeyedude. I ain't running away from anyone. I can take the heat. But, what is your real motivation?

I think your real motivation is to kick the Buckeyes and it's fans and players when they're down. Also, you couldn't wait, along with the rest of the world/nation for Ohio State to fall. We can take it. That is part of being #1. Any up and coming team, like Illinois for example, looks at beating the #1 team as a "statement." Illinois had nothing to lose.

I give Coach Zook and the Illini players a ton of credit. They are a damn good football team, and I am still flabbergasted at how they lost to Iowa especially, but also Michigan and Missouri.

I mean, Illinois beat Penn State, Wisconsin and #1 Ohio State! Watch out for this team in the future. I think they may surpass Penn State as the challenger to the "Big Two" in the Big Ten.

Now, if you want to scream and holler "the Big Ten sux," "Ohio State sux," "Ohio State hasn't played anybody" how do you expect anybody to want to listen to that typical SEC garbage? Your mind's made up, and there is no point in anybody listening to you.

If you want to be objective, and by that I mean looking at the statistics of SEC and Big Ten team's overall record in the bowl games, then maybe people will listen to what you have to say.

Otherwise, yous guys can just talk to each other and pump each other and your conference up, because I won't listen to you.

Because I brought up the Florida example, I'm automatically a SEC fan. I never once "pumped up" the SEC. I simply went back to OSU's last loss. You think I'm a SEC fan for posting this? I simply wanted to hear what OSU fans really had to say about the game (you didn't answer one question from the blog) but instead, you take it all the way around and bring it back to the SEC.

Let me ask you something since you're a strong standing OSU fan. Do you really think your schedule was worthy of a National Title. And I know if you're #1 and undefeated you go to the title game. But can you honestly look at that schedule and say - "We deserve this."

You may have a shedule that has no ranked oponents in it at years end. Michigan loses 2 in a row, and I'll bet even they are out of the top 25. As a matter of fact, Ohio State may be the only top 10 team to NOT play a BCS eligible team.

They got manhandled by Illinios, I don't really know what their fans could say, I'm just glad the title game might be halfway decent this year as long as Kansas looses to someone. Hopefully it's LSU and ORegon, from the two top conferences........it is kinda funny all the Ohio State fans are so quit after talking soo much about how their team wasn't overrated.

I really wanted them to fall because I have issues with their schedule. A few years ago, when they at least played Texas, I could deal with the ranking.

Damn I spelled quiet wrong

Kent State is a high caliber team
