Try not to confuse my enjoyment with your excessive paranoia about what Ohio State fans think of your team.  You're the one that hasn't seen your team win a National Championship or even appear in a National Championship since you got out of diapers.  I've seen Ohio State win one with Jim Tressell and Urban Meyer and I've seen OSU play in other National Championship Games with Jim Tressell and Ryan Day.  You're the unstable insecure one.

When your 1st post victory comment said Fuck OSU - something has been dominating that nervous little brain of your's.  🤣 

"What OSU fans think of your team"

Hahaha

Bro, read through this thread. You're posting more than me. You can't help yourself. YOU have the obsession. You're brain broken from the beat downs

Nothing about how OSU fans have acted for the better part of a decade, or how they've acted on the forum, lead me to want to give any of them any dignity. 

All of the BS witch-hunt nonsense spearheaded by OSU, you know what, fuck em

The Crying Game Sequel starring Woody.  More proof Ohio State is embedded in his head and the angry waterfalls just keep flowing down those cheeks.  FWIW, over to the right it says you have the most posts in this thread with 24 and I only have 11 posts.  It's okay.  Let that anger out - don't hold it hostage.  

National Championships are delicious; especially when there's no sign stealing and recruiting violations tarnishing the whole experience.  I see why you're so angry at Ohio State fans.  We can tell you what the experience feels like without the clouds of corruption ruining your whole experience.  Good news is you're playing in the sign stealing capital of sports.

This is the mindset of the SEC fans, which I don’t understand.

I watched the Michigan vs Alabama game and it reminds me of watching a Ravens vs Steelers game, hoping the earth will open up and swallow both teams.

 

Exactly!  Let me ask you this though - does anyone really think Auburn fans rooted for Alabama to win?  The reason I ask this is they compete in the same state for recruits.  Not only that, but a team like Auburn that ended up with 5 losses had to watch an Alabama team throw a Hail Mary pass (on 4th and 32) to beat them. I'm sure they were hoping a real contender would blow Alabama's doors off instead of watching a #1 seed barely escape in OT against a 4th seed that was frequently fumbling snaps.  When Bama went up late in the game we all know there was 1 guy on this board worrying about the Heimlich Maneuver all over again. Let's be honest, there's been better 4th seeds than Alabama.

Want to hear another interesting thing?  The college I went to (Cortland) in Upstate NY was never an elite Division III football program.  They just won the Division III National Football Championship 2-3 weeks ago.  They didn't gag on the DIII version of TCU in the 1st round.  The adorable reality at this time is they have celebrated 1 more National Championship than the Big House has in this Century. I guess I'd be jealous of Ohio State too if I was a fan of the 2nd best team in the Big 10 all this time. 😁

Congratulations on winning the Stagg Bowl! I’m a Mount Union grad so I have always kept an eye on DIII football, plus I’ve attended a few Stagg Bowl games in Salem Va. Unfortunately, I played football at MU before their glory years. HC Larry Kehres was my OC while I was there, but he’s a great guy and in the college football HOF. I’ve always said that if the NCAA can make the playoff system work in DIII…why in the hell can’t they make it work in DI? Anyway…I’m sure if Meatchicken doesn’t bring home the hardware next week, we should probably put Woodrow on suicide watch! 🤣

I was rooting for Michigan. Fuck the SEC and their cumrag, the CFP committee, for putting Alabama in over FSU. They get what they deserve. Nothing. Oops, the whole FSU starting roster decided not to play. Sorry about the lost ad revenue, assholes.

You forgot Iowa🤣    

..... Ok axe, lets take a look.  😉

~    I'm a numbers guy lets take a look  .....  when in doubt  always follow the numbers  (this took about  ½  hour  +/-  or so).

Actually I was going to include  IOWA  as a traditional powerhouse with some great  former  old coaches over the years. but  lately Iowa has really been screwing up.

And then I started thinking exactly how good is Iowa  and how long has Kirk Ferentz been there ?  And how long since Haden Fry has been gone ?   WELL I had to go back OVER 30 YEARS !

 ●  Won 10+ games 6 of 20 years  and 11 of last 40 years going back to HAYDEN FRY.   Only ranked #1 in 1985 under Hayden Fry finished  (10-2)  and #10.  IOWA good for 10+ wins every 4 years.  Not  OHIO STATE or Michigan material.    The numbers prove that.

IOWA has only ONE NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP in 1958  (when i was 8, lol)  They were good  NOT GREAT .....  look for yourself.   Did win a few minor bowl games,   15-15-1 (.500) going back 40 years,  nothing to brag about  EXCEPT  in bowls  31 of 40 years  (.775).   

SO,  there you go .... you are now an IOWA football scholar.    :)

I've used it for years,  no decades.... Eh ?   Sheesh,  lol....   :lol: .....  that took  ¼  of an hour....  or less.

 Sopranos marathons are nice,  especially with NO games.  Wife & i like em.
