Maybe maybe not. If you told him how the season was going to play out and are going by records, you would have to assume he'd be at Auburn or Oregon. Bottom line is I'm sure he and the others wish their teams had been more successful this year but that doesn't mean they automatically are wishing they had been at OSU. They chose the schools they are at for a reason and its pointless for anyone to rip them for it.Murdski99;600778 wrote:maybe it was, but I know this, if you tell him texas is 5-7 and doesn't reach a bowl in that first year he doesn't go there

Murdski99;600737 wrote:so what?????
If a recruit that ND wanted ended up going to osu or somewhere else, adn ND went 10-1 and were in the BCS and OSU went 5-7 and didn't make a bowl, you can best believe that all you nd fans would be doing the same thing. I don't see how people get this upset over these things, it's comical

Until we win something that actually means something (I will give you the Big 10 championship), a bowl game is just another bowl game unless you are talking about the National Championship.

how fucking retarded can you be?
trep14;600905 wrote:Ok, what exactly is the significance of the Sugar Bowl in the grand scheme of things? Its not like it is for the national championship game or will have any bearings on the national championship game. Until the NCAA actually decides to switch to a playoff, all bowl games except for the NC game are technically meaningless exhibitions...

However I don't think they need bashed for their decisions, they are young kids and have a lot at stake and on their plates when they make their decisions.

Relax, relax. Nobody's bashing anyone, especially 18 year old kids. Just poking a little fun at people who dare to pick a school other than Ohio State. Must've missed the smileys in the original post.lhslep134;600930 wrote:This thread is laced with arrogance, especially from the OP.

Where, oh where, did I ever say I wish them ill and bad fortune? Quite the opposite, I wished them "Merry" Christmas and "Happy" Holidays.Writerbuckeye;601095 wrote:The view of this original poster does not represent that of all Buckeye fans.
In fact, I would hope most Buckeye fans would never post such drivel.
Those young men made their choices and I wish them well.
If they play against OSU, I don't wish them success, but I do wish them well.

Yeah, I get it, the Sugar Bowl will be a nice experience for the players, and yes they will play in a "BCS" bowl. But other than that what is it? It is an exhibition. Just like Miami and Florida's bowl game is going to be.
My point was that even though we are playing in a BCS bowl, it really at the end of the day is no different than playing in the Gator Bowl (except for the whole your school and conference splits $20 mill thing. But the players don't see any of that, so that is neither here nor there). I just find it funny we are beating our chests about playing in the Sugar Bowl. Do they put Sugar Bowl Champions in the ring of honor around the 'Shoe?

Not to mention the effects it may have on potential recruits. Whether you personally recognize a difference or not, there definitely is one.

And to the OP....a "Lebron like Decision"....GTFO. Choosing where to play your college ball when you're going to be good enough to play on sundays is rather inconsequential relative to Lebron's, except to people like you who care too much.
Of course I don't, and neither do you. My post was done to A) celebrate the fact that my team is doing well, and B) celebrate the fact that other teams aren't. That's called being a fan.You have no idea the extenuating circumstances that led to their decision of their respective school over Ohio State, so I'll rephrase my original statement.
Your responses are laced with a severe shortage of a sense of humor.This thread is laced with arrogance AND ignorance
