It takes all the fun out of kicking you in the balls all week if you sad sacks won't man up and support your boys at least one more time.

This year's version of the Buckeyes has been a huge disappointment because of this. This was the season that Ohio State was supposed to steam roll through the Big 10, win the NC, and Perfect Pryor was expected to challenge for the Heisman. It was to be the dream season Buckeye fans have come to expect.
Most fans of most teams would be setting mattresses on fire on High Street and peeing rented beer in back alleys with Brutus after their team just won their 10th game of the season. But since I'm the most negative Buckeye fan on OC I'll gladly admit I'm not quite as excited as that.
A win is a win is a win. But the way the Buckeyes are doing it this year doesn't give me warm fuzzies. And while some Buckeye fans pout and lament that the pollsters aren't showing Ohio State much love, it's my humble yet always negative opinion that even at 10-1, the Buckeyes should count their blessings that they are at least ranked in the Top 10.
The Buckeyes get a B+/A- grade on their record but a D+ for style points this year.
While Michigan's defense SUCKS big time, I'm still not confident the Buckeyes will have an easy time even in The Shoe. Michigan will hang tough for 3 quarters but the Buckeyes will wear the weasels down enough by the 4th quarter to walk away with a 10 point victory, a tie for the Big 10 championship, and a possible BCS bid.
For most teams that's fantastic. For those of us who thought this was going to be a dream year, it's just another disappointing Buckeye season.
The "experts" may have been picking Iowa and Wisconsin, but Buckeye faithful of all sorts of ilk were banging the "this is our year drum" heading into the 2010 campaign. I, for one, have come to have high expectations from the Buckeyes knowing full-well Ohio State will manage to have a t least one Wisky, Purdue, Michigan State, USC, Penn State, etc. hiccup every season. It's the way of things. That's hardly delusional.Big Gain;570505 wrote:Those of your ilk are small minded and star crossed. There were more "experts" picking Iowa and Wisconsin instead of Ohio State to win the Big Ten. Be grateful instead of delusional.

Webster you need to really just zip it before Dick Rod's Secret Police find out you have gone turn-coat on the boys. During the Cooper Years (aka the Dark Ages) no matter how badly I knew we were going to get our ass kicked, I would never publically acknowledge it. In fact I would go out of my way to be an even bigger A-hole (and that's going somewhere for me) in conversations with scUM fans. That's what true fans do sparky...grow a pair and support your team or wipe that avatar off your face Benedict Arnold.WebFire;571183 wrote:They may run there mouth about winning (and why not?), but I really doubt anyone would claim to know they were going to win. That would just be stupid.
