I don't like his public persona he puts out there. He's too much of a politician. I have no complaints at all on his coaching ability. I just like guys that are more "real". Hey, i was a Buddy Ryan fan so that should tell you what i know. Plus, Tressel is not really the squeaky clean guy image that he likes to portray. But,you're right it's hard to complain about his results.

I'm as hard as anyone on OSU. You're the one who started attacking me because i said WVU is way overrated. Then you call out meaningless stats. I guess,using your theory, the leading scorer in NCAA college basketball shoulod be the #1 pick in the NBA draft. Now your trying to compare Big East football to Big Ten football.That tells me all i need to know about your level of football knowledge when it comes to the college game. I don't know, maybe you know someone who had their double-wide repossessed in Morgantown and i hit a sore spot. I just saw that WVA is playing in the Fiesta Bowl. That RV lot at U of P stadium will never be the same.


BTW, that's me on the right.I believe it was taken at the NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP game. Something the Moutaineers, or any other team from the Big East, will not see in a long time.

Ok, I can understand that. Living in AZ, I don't hear all the under-rumblings and such.

But you know, no matter who there will always be a percentage of negative info about them. Heck, even JoePa gets bad mouthed now and then and he's a friggen saint!

This post is the epitome of what college football has become. A never ending steam of drivel like this - a need to tear down others in a pitiful attempt to make your team look better. Cbus, you still haven't responded to post #21. I wonder why? Is it because it actually addresses OSU's performance on the field rather than just verbal hot air?

LVCARDFREAK

Meaningless stats? Like the ones that actually give imperical evidence vs. the "Their defense sucks", "They are overated" statements you have been using? That's good stuff, is that what an OSU education gives you?

You are right about one thing though, there is NO comparision between Big East and Big Ten football. Good luck to another 2-5, or 2-6 bowl season!

Oh and by the way, that RV and double wide joke was sooo good. How original!

That's not true. Jake Locker,from Washington, is as good as any running Qb i saw this year and OSU handles that team pretty good. But Locker did put up some numbers on OSU's defense. About the Illinois game, Williams had a career game. What can you do other than give him credit. He was being pulled from games for lack of passing ability and ,against OSU, he threw a career high 4 TD's. OSU adjusted to passing game and mistakenly stuck to that defense even though Illinois started running the ball. Illinois is pretty decent team and they won.That happens. You give OSU 5 weeks to prepare to stop them,or WVA's, spread offense and it's a different story. It's alittle bit different when you have about 3 days to prepare for an unconventional offense,that no other Big 10 runs with such athlete, than a month and a half to get ready for it.

As for Illinois defense,they didn't exactly shut down OSU. Boeckman had his worst game of the year and threw 3 total bonehead throws. Give Illinois credit, they were there for the ricochet's. Also,if you watched the game, you would know that OSU's best player,Chris Wells, missed substantial time with a hand injury.He came back and played but wasn't effective. The main weakness for OSU is lack of depth ath the RB position. If Wells is out,they are in serious trouble. In the Illionois game, their backup,Maurice Wells, was also banged up prior to the game and wasn't expected to play but he tried and was ineffective. He's not that good healthy.

I'm not taking away anything from Illinois,they won. But they are a little better than what people give them credit for. I could go into sour grapes, like alot of OSU fans,about the instant replay system not working for the game and missing a blatant fumble on Illinois' first TD. But that was the 1st drive of the game.OSU had plenty of oppurtunity to overcome that and they didn't.Tressel also may have had his worst in game coaching game that he has had at OSU(he took a horrendous TO that allowed Ill to go for and convert a 4th down) .He, surprisingly, admitted as much after the game.


Question # 21 answered, any others?

Wells is either heartless or fragile for missing time. Why wasnt he in the game when OSU needed him?

Will all of you guys shut up and just appreciate your teams please. I am a Syracuse fan and have been more and more suicidal every season since McNabb graduated. Our lacrosee team has went to the dump since teams like Hopkins started giving out scholarships. Thank God for Jim Boehiem and the basketball team.

Hopefully, Cincinnati can handle So Miss and Rutgers can handle Ball State. That's some primo competition for the your great Big East bowl record. The double-wide joke wouldn't be so funny if it wasn't so true. But maybe not as funny as the car i saw with 6, that's right SIX, car flags on it last week. But that's them there 'Neers supporting their guys.

Good point. I have a friend who is the starting safety at Syracuse. Let's just say Robinson needs to go....

Thank you for actually talking football.

OSU may be a great team, but who can tell? Certainly they are above average, but they haven't shown me any more on the field than a team like WVU. The fact that Williams had a career game against you guys may say more about OSU than just the 'one time lucky game' you seem to dismiss it as.

And c'mon, Jake Locker is no Pat White.

Cbus cardsfan

If you continue to read,there's not too many big words in there,i said he came back in but wasn't effective.But way to pick out only part of the statement.He still carried 20 time for 76 yards and 2 TD's. Not quite Pat White-esque of going to the street clothes look.

Funny two teams that are still head and shoulders better than Akron , Youngstown state and Kent St....All teams the buckeyes played. Hell the whole Big Ten's out of conference opponents winning percentage was only 56%

But shoot, ya'll gonna be busier than a one legged man at a butt kickin' contest. I wishin' we wuz as a gooda team as ya'll. I reckon one day!

I only saw him that 1 game and he was as good a running QB as i saw all year. I believe he's only a freshman as well. I'm not dismissing Williams game as being lucky. He deserves alot of credit. I'm just saying his past and post performances don't suggest that he is the passing threat he was that day. Also, i usually don't get into pissing matches on a fan board but LV started in on me because i said OSU would beat up on WVU. I gave LSU a good chance at winning. To me,WVU had very little chance. I just wish they could've gotten by Pitt( ) and Dave Wannestadt to prove it.

The fact that Locker was the best running QB you saw all year speaks volumes about the Big 10. And doesn't it say something that Williams had his best day against you guys?
