Dr. Winston O' Boogie was a nickname John Lennon had.
Last year, Georgia was 6-7. They have no business being referred to as an elite Div1 school right now. They had no business being ranked this year other than to make Boise's first game look legit. They lost to UCF in their bowl game. Boise beating them isn't a shocker, in fact, they were favored by 3.5 on the road. Should have been closer to 10. Georgia blows goats right now. Boise playing Georgia is akin to Ohio State's game with Colorado in a few weeks.

Never mind that he doesn't know jack about football and probably hasn't done an athletic thing in his life. Yesterday, THE Ohio State played what was probably one of the worst division I schools in the country while Boise State puts a beating oGeorgia - a SEC big school. Nice call Gee. Better hope Boise doesn't get ahold of your team.
He also refers to Lex Wexner as the 6th "civilian" to ever dot the i. So I guess as Americans (in Gee's book at least), we shoul be grateful to the Army,Nave, Air Force, Marines, and the tuba section.
You're usually "technically wrong" about the threads you start on here.Dr Winston O'Boogie;883309 wrote:Okay, if Gee said it about TCU, I was technically wrong. However his point was intended towards the legitimate "BCS busters" which included Boise State. I am an OSU alum and I've always loved my school. I guess I'm just a little cynical about the football program in lit of Gee's leadership thisyear. And I don't forget about it just because they brought out the sacraficial lamb yesterday and had money bags dot the I. It just made me think about $75 per ticket to watch garbage.
The only oher threads I've ever started include a question about people's opinion about the the Catholic Church's opposition to IVF, a question on baseball lineup orders and Muslims terrorists being responsible for the Norway attack. So as I see it, I'm 2 for 4 in the accuraccy department. If I were a MLB hitter, I'd be seeing a $20 million contract.GoPens;883717 wrote:You're usually "technically wrong" about the threads you start on here.

Boise State would be favored over Ohio State...even if they played in Columbus. As for Boise not playing a man's schedule, a good part of that is that no powerhouse wants to play them....for obvious reasons.robj55;883550 wrote:If you think OSU fears Boise you are nuts, we would beat them this year just like any other year, tough sledding against that 6-7 Georgia team from a year ago and that is there toughest game of the year lol.

Just a few comments. I agree that Georgia is no great shakes...but they were ranked 19th going into Saturday. So comparing them to Colorado is a FAIL. Last year, Boise won in Blacksburg and I think VT ended the year in the top 10. Boise can't really schedule in-state opponents...there arent any schools there...except Idaho.Scooter1369;883708 wrote:Last year, Georgia was 6-7.

Ohio State played a team that sucked last year. We all know that and they beat them like the red headed step child they are, holding them to under 100 yards of total offense. They did not play a FCS school like Oregon State (who LOST to Sacramento State) or the dozens of other Div1A schools that played FCS teams. Ohio State did as they always do, keeping the money in state which has been their policy for many years.
Next week Ohio State plays Toledo. The next week, guess who plays Toledo? BOISE STATE. One game a year against a BCS school does not a schedule make.
Sure they would. Let's not get carried away with the Buckeyes manhandling one of the worst teams in 1A football. Akron won one game last year.dwccrew;884641 wrote:Highly doubt they'd be favored in Columbus.

Boise State....for years...has begged to play teams like Michigan, Notre Dame, Michihan State. Nobody wants any part of that.
We've seen this before, teams being ranked way higher than they should be for the purpose of ratings. Georgia's ranking going into Saturday was just that, inflated for ratings. There is no other reason to rank a team with a losing record and just lost its best player to the NFL in the top 20. Georgia will be lucky to win 5 games this year. South Carolina is rip them a new anus this week.Footwedge;884642 wrote:Just a few comments. I agree that Georgia is no great shakes...but they were ranked 19th going into Saturday.

You mean where the ticket sales are equal to a Texas High School game? or where the field itself gives the home team a distinct camoflage advantage? Why would any team be willing to play in Boise? They'd lose money on the trip.Hb31187;884670 wrote:Begging to play top teams may be a bit of a stretch I agree. But you would all be lying to yourselves if you think teams turn down Boise because they want out of conference cupcakes and not someone who will give them a run for their money. Also many of these teams probably would only play Boise at home and would refuse to do a home and home because they dont wanna travel to Boise where Boise St is pretty much untouchable.

I was trying to be humorous. I am aware that MLB players generally need more than four at bats prior to being evaluated.Scooter1369;884711 wrote:If you were a Major league hitter, you'd either have a larger sample size or a ridiculously short career.

Colorado beat Georgia last season, so how is it a fail to compare them to Georgia? Also, you are using the VT win for Boise's benefit because of VT's final season ranking, let's see where Georgia finishes at the end of the year. My guess is at least 5 losses.Footwedge;884642 wrote:Just a few comments. I agree that Georgia is no great shakes...but they were ranked 19th going into Saturday.

LOL, I'm not even considering the win against Akron when talking about whether or not the Buckeyes would be favored at home against Boise St. This is still Ohio State we are talking about. People act as if they lost every starter off last year's team. They are a top ranked team still and predicted to finish second in their division in the Big 10. They very well could still win the Big 10. they still have one of the best defenses in the country.Footwedge;884647 wrote:Sure they would.

See above. We're talking Ohio State here. Wisconsin, Nebraska and Ohio State are 3 teams in the Big Ten that I'd bet almost anything on being FAVORED at home against BSU.Hb31187;884648 wrote:Right now, W a heisman candidate QB, ranked top 10 in the nation, and OSU with Joe Bauserman or a true freshman taking snaps and their leading Wr and Rusher benched...they very well might be favored in Columbus
This is exactly what I was trying to say to the good doctor, however, he didn't pick up on it. 2 for 4 would get him a million dollar contract? LOLScooter1369;884711 wrote:If you were a Major league hitter, you'd either have a larger sample size or a ridiculously short career.
I do agree with that. I was willing to take shitty seats when buying them every year gave me a better shot at better tickets the next year, but now that they give everyone an equal shot I probably won't be buying my alumni tickets next year. I've gotten shitty tickets the last several years and I can scalp them for a hell of a lot cheaper than $75.Dr Winston O'Boogie;884731 wrote:On an individual school level, I understand why the Ohio States of the world schedule weaklings when then can. Collectively it takes a lot out of the sport however. But seeing the stadiums full of people who are willing to shell out $70 for a bench seat to watch their team shallack some pansy only confirms the decisions these big schools make. That's my two cents.
My alumni tickets were always getting me nose bleeds for Little Sisters of the Poor (haha) and so I quit buying them. I was much more comfortable in the air conditioning Saturday. Plus when the game was over (sometime after OSU's first score), I could go find somethign else to do.FatHobbit;884737 wrote:I do agree with that.

Blaming Muslim terrorists for that was terrible and I regret that. Quick to judge. I don't like it when other people act that way, so I was pretty embarrassed when I became a hypocrite.FatHobbit;884734 wrote:That was one of my favorites. Lol
