Cornerville Posted April 3, 2007 Share Posted April 3, 2007 Eff the Sucks. I have no love for the Gators, but the Buckeyes have a special place in my most hated list after their fraudulent claim two years ago of being "Big Ten Co-Champions" in football. And their fraud of a national Title given to them against Miami on a HORRIBLE call Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have no love for the Gators, but the Buckeyes have a special place in my most hated list after their fraudulent claim two years ago of being "Big Ten Co-Champions" in football. The conference rules are pretty clear. They didn't just start awarding co-championships two years ago or just for the Buckeyes. Review comference history. Don't like the rules or the conference is too tough? Go independent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spun Posted April 3, 2007 Share Posted April 3, 2007 Mike, Florida was simply a better team. Relentless defense and incredible versatility. A big difference was that Florida knocked down the threes and the Buckeyes did not. It would have been a better game if the Buckeyes hit more threes but they were way off. To repeat takes a lot of talent. There is so much pressure. Oden was impressive especially in showing he could stay out of foul trouble, play as much as he did and still put up big numbers. Congrats (again) Gators! Sloopy better hang on for dear life tonight. The Buckeyes need a big game from Butler and/or Lewis in order to win. I am very impressed with the Gators. Their big distraction is whether or not Billy Donovan is headed to the Bluegrass State (I think he is going to Kentucky if Florida wins tonight). I'm a realist. This time, the Buckeyes are the underdog. Ohio State can win this game, but will need to be nearly perfect to do it. Not as perfect as Villanova was in 1985, but close. BTW, expect a big Buckeye crowd tonight...like three months ago in Arizona, but it didn't do them very good that night. Honestly? Florida is likely to win and repeat as national champions. The line is 6, which I think is about right. But, that doesn't stop me from rooting for my beloved Buckeyes. da da da da, da da da da GO BUCKS!!!

Spun Posted April 3, 2007 Share Posted April 3, 2007 THEY LOST TO PENN STATE. The rule needs to change. Once again. Review conference history. Not the first time and not the last time. It has happened numerous times in which one team or two teams beats one team but they all end up with identical conference records. Who is champion? Whichever teams had the best conference record. Fair? Not really. Lazy? Yes. But it is how the Big Ten deals with "conference ties". Since Penn State has been in the conference there have been seven out of eleven schools who had to "share" Big Ten conference titles. No tie breakers. If one didn't know that before joining the conference one knows it now. Don't like it change it. Or back to playing Pitt. History: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Big_T...tball_champions Northwestern has more to complain about than Penn State. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
