vball used to get upset about us talking about Ohio State, and I think he realized we never said anything bad about how the team is, just comparing similar situations. I don't see anything wrong with comparing Tressel's career up to 2001 with Brian Kelly. I don't see anything wrong with comparing schedules. I don't see anything wrong with saying Ohio State would have trouble if Pryor, Herron, Posey, Stoneburner, and a slew of defenders were out. The fans who don't get so fucking offended say "yeah, Notre Dame has had a rash of injuries to a learning team and it's been a real issue for them." Simple as that. Plus unlike many of the people on here i will have a degree from Ohio State's Knowlton School of Architecture so I believe I can say anything I want about my school if I feel like it. But I can promise you I do not lie and I am not overly hyperbolic when stating my opinions.

Instead you have assholes like sleeper blatantly lying about Notre Dame (AND Ohio State) and those of us who appreciate factual conversations will correct him every time. I don't care if that's what he's after, when someone goes uncorrected it starts to become accepted as fact when it simply isn't. Make no mistake, all of this is 100% sleeper/ccrunner/tiernan's fault. Sleeper and tiernan do it for kicks. ccrunner though know nothing about football; literally zero knowledge of the sport--I'd like to be the fly on the wall when he tries to explain it in gym class.

I can promise you that if sleeper, ccrunner, and tiernan stopped posting on Notre Dame threads that the amount of ND-OSU banter would decrease by 99%. No question.

If you disagree with his schedule strength rankings, and since we've established that there are no perfect SOS rankings, so don't just tell us why his rankings are crap, because the argument isn't really about his rankings. The argument is about whether Notre Dame played a difficult or an easy schedule, and Karen provided Sagarin's rankings as proof that they played a difficult schedule. If you think Notre Dame played a week schedule don't just call Sagarin's ratings crap, provide other schedule rankings that prove Notre Dame played a weak schedule as you claim.

Just because sjmvsfscs08 did or didn't do any of those things doesn't mean he "sold himself short" at all. For you to think that just because he attends here means he A. has to care about OSU football or B. partake in anything and absolutely meaning it in the context of life (since you said self yourself short, and mention "chills") is the most asinine and idiotic thing I have read on this entire thread.

People attend college for education, not to get "chills" when they see script ohio. For you to call him out for selling his ticket to make extra money and because he'd be bored is completely off base as well. Am I any less of a Buckeye because I also thought the game was boring?

Get a clue dude. Sports isn't everything.

Last year Michigan was trying to get into a bowl game and I got a ticket for $70 and the average ticket was around $100. This year on Craigslist the average for non-upgraded student tickets was between $100-$150.

karen lotz;581147 wrote:I understand what you are saying, especially from an OSU fan's perspective. I don't think anyone is selling themselves short for being a Notre Dame fan who is also an OSU student/alum though. I got out of OSU what I wanted and got to see one of the top football programs in the country play at one of the top venues in the country. I also got to see some good basketball teams at a nice (although not top venue in country) new facility.

The problem with Value City Arena is that there are far too many seats and they cater to the old people way too much. They treated students like second citizens by stashing them in the rafters. Hard to get excited about the game when your nose is bleeding.
