Dude give it up..you hate OSU.

The jealousy coming from UC fans towards OSU is so mind boggling...interesting that we didn't hear much from you after this past season's bowl games though..

I don't hate OSU, but I see them for what they are. They're not the shining city on the hill you like to portray them to be. They're good, and should win the big ten again this year. They'll be in the national championship game if they beat Miami.

Why do you keep bringing up UC. I sure as hell didn't bring them into this conversation. Everytime OSU fans are confronted with a dissenting opinion they attack other teams instead of the argument itself. Again another reason I hate the FANS and not the team.

*A handful of OSU fans have given them a bad name, not all OSU fans are like this.

You know as well as I do there are probably only about five UC fans that post on here on a regular basis(goosebumps, 3reppom, dave, bcubed and myself). During the football season there were some that showed up to gloat and as goosebumps noted, there were many pretenders who just flamed to get OSU fans upset. At the end of the day, the five I listed above are the ones who have been around since after the bowl game. I believe the five above were never in the group who talked down OSU and made bold claims. As far as talking up UC, I can speak for myself in saying I have started some threads about next years team. Usually you get the few UC fans to comment and then the thread gets hijacked by someone. That gets really old after awhile.

As far as those who flamed last year, I am not going to defend them. However, keep in mind you are bashing all UC fans on a few idiots (who might all not have been UC fans). That too is not fair. That would be like asking the UC fans to form an opinion on all OSU fans based on the posts of Sleeper, Tiernan, Paladin and a few others.

The bottom line is we have two BCS schools in Ohio and both of them had good teams last year and will once again next year (yes, UC will, so you better get ready for another round of cries from Bearcats down in SWO). I can't wait for the season to start!

Most likely he was a Michigan fan. UC has come pretty far in the last 5-6 years, and I fully expect the UC v. OSU game in 2012 to be competitive.

You'll have to ask Frank where he went, (most likely banned).

As long as you understand your place, #2 in the state, forever and always, both on the field and off.

Your reading comprehension skills must really be bad if you believe the statement I quoted.

Okay, 99.9% of OSU fans don't think they are the greatest ever....they think they are great (a justifiable claim), but not the greatest ever.
