Yes, but only because he was your best offensive player, and if tsun had any chance to win, Robinson HAD to be on the field...in spite of his "QB skills". And yes, he deserved the B1G offensive POY.

I know you guys don't see it because you don't follow Michigan, but Devin will have his chance, and he'll be just fine.
Obviously Gardner wasn't going to start over a healthy D-Rob, but if the staff doesn't trust him to start over a guy w/ staph and an elbow injury, there must not be a whole lot of talent there.

Fortunately, Devin's career doesn't depend on your uninformed opinion.

Yea because changing an entire offense is simple and urban has done it in year one with ease every where he has been. O wait. After seeing michigan go through the struggles of the spread in there first year under rr (rr is one of if not the best at running the spread) it won't be as easy as some of you think IMO.

And you're so damn dumb it's not even funny. Urban Meyer probably won't change the overall concept of Ohio State's offense all that much. Not saying that he's not going to change it, obviously he'll put his stamp on it, which is obviously the spread. But Meyer has stated time and time again that he understands how to play in the B1G, and to be successful late in the season, you have to have the ability to line-up under center and pound the rock.

The way he was aggressive with Dunn's recruiting clearly backs this up. Dunn had a brain-fart and considered scUM because he wasn't sure how a "bigger back" would fit into Meyer's system. Obviously he fits, since he turned down your pathetic team to play for a champion.

scUM was improved this season, but was also the product of a weak OOC and a soft B1G schedule. Your toughest game was against an overrated Nebraska team, at home. On the road up at "Big Brother's"? You blew it. Against Iowa? You blew it. You nearly blew it against the worst Ohio State team in over a decade.

Face it, Bichigan is mediocre, didn't deserve a BCS bid by any means, and will be Ohio State's whipping-stick for as long as Urban Meyer is the head coach, and beyond.

LoL At scUM fans thinking they're "back". Your season was soft, much like your pussy ass QB.

Let me guess, 2003 is when you became an OSU fan?

That is a prime example of why OSU fans get a bad rep.

Yep, you betcha! I mean, why root for a team if they're not going to win? Right?

If this is your attempt at calling me a bandwagon fan, you have failed. I've been a fan for as long as I can remember. Besides, it's not like Ohio State's success started in 2003. I'm quite knowledgeable on all things Ohio State, even prior to '03.

I'm a Browns fan. How anyone can call someone that roots for the Browns a bandwagon fan, is beyond me. I suspect only a scUM fan could do it though.

I just don't like your team, think your QB is a soft little puss, and think that scUM benefited from a weak-ass schedule. I mean, they avoided Wisconsin, and lost to the real team up north (MSU), and somehow backed-into a BCS game.

Why you're bragging about avoiding a tough conference slate, and actually beating the cupcakes on your schedule for once is way beyond me. Guess that what makes you a Bichigan fan, mediocrity is acceptable there, right?

Ya boy. I've been bragging about our schedule. Funny you mention we didn't play Wisconsin, who had the worst schedule in the whole B1G.

It would be, except I didn't know we were talking about Wisconsin? Wisconsin is in the Rose Bowl, and, if I'm not mistaken, split a series with the real team up north. Wisconsin absolutely had an easy schedule, and, really, it's hard to say that this team, or that team was the best team in the B1G.

(WebFire) My thing is, you scUM fans act like the chubby guy up north put you guys back on the college football map, but how? Because you finally beat some cupcakes on your schedule this season that totally dominated your asses in previous years?

You're one of the premiere programs in all of college football, you're supposed to beat the likes of Utah, Toledo, Western Michigan, etc. Replace Toledo with a team comparable to Miami (FL), and scUM is probably a 3 loss team this season and out of the BCS question.

The BCS committee was banking on the real team up north, MSU, to take care of business in B1G Championship Game, and that's why you bastards dropped in the BCS AFTER you beat Ohio State. Heading into the final weekend, scUM wasn't even in the thought process as an at-large, how could they have been? If the Sugar, Orange, Fiesta, whatever, Bowl really wanted scUM, do you think they would've dropped outside of at-large consideration? No way.

I guess after a few years of mediocrity, scUM fans have learned to accept, and be ok with, 10-2 records, no B1G or NC Championship games, and making a BCS game by the skin of their teeth against the top schools of the ACC and Big East.

scUM hasn't been relevant for a few years now, one nice season and there's suddenly a ton of scUM fans. Now I'm not going to call out your allegiance to your suck-ass school, but why boast this season? Do it again next season, and you have somethin'. Isn't that when they open-up against 'Bama or somethin'?

Michigan was in the BCS regardless of the B10 championship game son, they would have made it over Wisconsin had they lost.
