OSU also has the largest alumni organization in the world, so wherever the bowl may be not only will people travel from Columbus, but the locals as well as people nearby will travel as well....now as far as if a team is better than us that isnt invited, we'll discus that in december

[ShahHouman]

and another reason y it's so big is because the big 10 schools that hav a major following hav no pro team of any sort in their city, and if they do it's nothing worth being a fanatic about lol

One of my former colleagues and best friends was born and raised in akron and later on went to OSU. He was a crazy buckeye. He even got somestuff from the hourse shoe and brought me as gifts. I have heard exactly how it is in ohio and how its all about the buckeyes, even though they have 7 other division IA schools in the state but you wanna tell me the hawkeyes or the lions wont provide same type of fan base come rose bowl time if their # is called?

[ShahHouman]

YUP! that's exactly wut im sayin....dont underestimate how much we travel, dont believe me? go to a OSU away game, u'll see (u're a bruin so im guessing UCLA, i'll holla at u next yr for OSU at USC, i'll be there and u'll see wut im talkin bout)

well days after 9-11 my friend Jared and I went to the OSU-UCLA game at the rose bowl in 2001. He was wearing his david boston jersey and I had my ricky manning Jr jersey!!

What a yawner of a game as the bruins beat the buckeyes by a field goal. I cant recall the score but it was really low. I remember right before the game they gave all of us "united we stand" placards so we would hold them during the 1 minute of silence because of the 9-11 victims.

he was making fun of me about wearing my jersey and how he didnt know who ricky manning was. After watching the NFC championship game together a couple of years later where ricky manning intercepted donavan macnabb THREE times while getting the panthers to the superbowl I let him know who he was!!

What a hell of a game between Clemson and FSU. Man I got to give FSU some props here for not folding when they were down. They had a shot to win it at the end as well but Clemson just was too much for FSU.

Well you missed a dandy Clemson started off strong going up like 24-3 in the first half. In the 2nd half Florida State came out swinging scoring two touchdowns making the lead shirnk to 24-18. FSU had one more chance they drove to into Clemson territory but on 4th down they sacked Drew Watherford QB FSU, and the game kind of ended wtih that.

*By the way after 9/11 I went to South Bend to watch the MSU/ND game. It was cool because MSU and ND had an agreement to come out of the field together with the American Flag. Now the cool part is that ND didn't show up but the MSU team did. You see the Michigan State players with this huge flag that covers the field, and the ND fans stand up and cheer for MSU players(VERY VERY RARE).

MSU ended up winning that game and that was the year that Bob Davie got fired and they replaced him next year with Ty Willingham.

Michigan becomes the first team in college football in the top 5 to get droped out of the top 25 poll all together.
Michigan traditionally had problems with theams who use the spread offense. They are good against physical teams who love to ground and pound, but if you spread it out they have problems.

This might be a receipe for other teams to take a page out of App State's playbook. I hope Michigan State and Ohio State are both taking notes if you want to beat Michigan, SPREAD THEM OUT.

Carr resembles cooper now!! Its time for UM to counter the tressel hiring

[ShahHouman]

tressel reminds us all of woody...and woody hated michigan so much rumor has it his car ran out of gas in michigan a mile from the border and he pushed it to ohio so that he wouldnt get gas in michigan to pay for their state taxes loool i kno i kno rumor, probably not true but still funny

but he actually did practice the team 3 days a week for their upcoming game, 2 days a week for Michigan

tressel has UM's number right now....the big house? nah, we call it OUR HOUSE

Anyways, tressel is much better than cooper who could never beat UM. I remember the buckeyes back then were really pissed
