Matta has his reasons. And it won't affect jackshit as far as the Big Ten or the NCAA are concerned. If it did, I am sure Matta would change things. Sorry, but I tired of hearing the whiners every year. You worry about things in your control. Things not in your control, discuss it, and move on.

thedynasty1998;565390 wrote:Good contribution. No one is crying, I just think it could be better. The Big 10 will be tough enough and actually Ohio State is setting themselves up to stay atop the rankings all year (not that it matters).

I'm sure Matta likes this schedule because he can play a lot of guys, keep people happy and work on things. But there is nothing wrong with fans wishing something different.

This is a forum after all, is it not?

centralbucksfan;565462 wrote:Yes it is. So go ahead and cry away, again, and again, and again, and again..... Its OLD and its NOT going to change "that" much. Similar to your Diebler whining. As I told you, ..its not going to change, and it hasn't. At some point, people need to accept things, and move on. But since this is a "forum after all", go and and continue your bitch and whine session.

thedynasty1998;565363 wrote:With OSU's 13 OOC games before conference play starts, they have one challenging game that they freely scheduled and then another that is part of the ACC-Big 10 schedule. So, out of 12 games, they have determined it's only worth scheduling one challenging opponent? That is just not okay. Would fans be happier with 2? It's more than 1. 3 challenges? I think that would be about right.

What do you think this thread is about? And guess what, it's on page 2.

What do you want to see from the Buckeyes in this stretch after the win at Florida?

OSU's schedule is pathetic, but I will give Matta a pass.

You learn in game situations a lot more than practice even if the competition is somewhat weak.

CinciX12;565145 wrote:This doesn't really make much sense to me. Why wouldn't you want to be more prepared at the end of the season? Harder schedules facilitate that. Especially more so in a sport like basketball where you are not crucified (see BCS) when you lose a game. On the contrary actually, you are rewarded for SOS heavily. So at the end of the season when say a UK and OSU are competing for a #1 seed, it would clearly be better to have a good SOS, which OSU will not have.
