Now that Ohio State has a real coach

It is time to break out the big league abuse for the useless nuts:

What do u say to a Ohio State Grad when they are on your front porch???

how much for the pizza!!!

[xXdirtyjoeXx]

Hah! That team up North wins one for the first time in 7 years and the way they act you would think they never ever lost to THE Ohio State University lol. Enjoy the win punks, tOSU will be coming back strong in the next couple of years. Oh, and the haters can keep hating too. Enjoy them being down now, but they won't be staying down long. Admit it, their is a tiny kernel of fear in your gut knowing that tOSU will be exacting vengeance on CFB in the next couple of years.

the last big game i remember them winning was when the refs cheated miami out of a national championship on that lame pass interference call. OSU might go back to the way things were a few years ago, beat up on the big ten then get beat by 40 by whichever team from the sec their playing in the championship game.

Now that Ohio State has a real coach ......

They still will be the most overrated team in NCAA History

So, you won 7 in a row (actually 6, because last years win was vacated)...what's the record of the rivalry overall?...

58-44-6 in favor of Michigan. you have a few more years to catch up. :)!

He will resign in 2 years with health related issues...and the reigns will be handed back to Luke Fickel :eek:

++++ 100 what he said /\/\

[Oilngo]

Pretty upset about this, but he is a Ohio native if I remember right. So it makes sense, I liked Meyer at Utah and like him at Florida. But now.... Ugh.... Buckeye??? Really, screw the Buckeye's. Like the comment above, most overrated team and always will be. Now with him just being there, it will only get worse. But in favor of Ohio, they will get ever more top recruites now. He will be winning big games out of the gate, but do they still have a ban on them like USC?

[tajikey]

We won't know about the ban until mid-December, but with tOSU self-sanctioning, it may lessen the blow a bit.

[sportcrazynick]

im not quite sure why people are hating on ohio state's academic program. standards to get in here are getting harder and harder every year. usually only top of the class students get in. last i heard they recommended at least a 30 on the act and around a 4.0 in high school to make sure you were in.

i currently attend ohio state and let me tell you it has one of the best pharmacy programs in the nation. i looked at michigan and they werent close. ohio state has one of the toughest, best and brightest chemistry programs in the country as well, not to mention an amazing medical facility.

i really hate when people think ohio state is a poor academic school. its not!! it used to be back when my parents were in college and most of you guys on here, but no it is far from a party school. grades actually matter and im proud as hell to be a buckeye!

i turned down going to unc and stanford to come here so people really need to lay off that the academic program is subpar because it not

[xXdirtyjoeXx]

bdubs3316...I welcome Michigan back from irrelevance to make The Game better. It does get tiring blowing out your rival by 30 points over the past 7 years. Also, most of those "victories" happened before 1930. I guess hanging your hat on something that is almost 100 years old really shows the sad mindset that Michigan is in. Congrats on beating 9 creampuffs and beating a freshman laden tOSU squad to possibly make a BCS bowl. Now go make the Big Ten hang its head again when you get beaten down by a TCU, Boise St, or some other no-name team no one has heard of.

Michigan won 13 of the first 15 games when Ohio State was the 3rd biggest college in Ohio - quite impressive.

Throw out any other years and the Buckeyes will 95% of the time have the edge.

This is a special post in so many ways.

[37Jetson]

Do they teach you how to punctuate and/or write a complete sentence at The Ohio State University?

Please do not insult us by stating Ohio State is not a party school. Even your parents are not naive enough to believe that line.

How did it work out in 1996 when u had "the beat team ever"?

Thought so....

We sucked due to Rodriguez....things will be different

So we should just keep stats for when ur team got better? I hear charlie sheen now...winning

[asujbl]

I didn't cherry pick stats - I'm well aware of what they are overall - I'm simply posting the disclaimer of why Michigan has the lead - it's because they won 13 of the first 15 games against the 3rd biggest school in Ohio.

It's simply a fact - as much as the overall record is a fact - but it also clearly explains the "edge" that Michigan has.

I hardly call selling memorabilia and receiving benefits like tattoos "cheating"... at least in any way that affects play on the field.

[xXdirtyjoeXx]

Prove to me that tOSU cheated. Show me where they forced practices outside of NCAA rules to cheat. Did they use Booze, Women, and Money for recruiting ala Miami? Did they pay for a player ala Cam Newton? Did they allow a family to take over 100k to buy a home ala Reggie Bush? No...they sold their sports memoribilia stuff for tattoos. Biggest problem tOSU had is Tressel lied to the NCAA and he is no longer with the university. Nothing they did affected them on the field and they relinqueshed all Championships and games last year anyway. Keep hating haters. It is going to make your tears taste a little sweeter when they pull down another championship.

[u_want_my_cards]

Really? Because Tressel Lied to the NCAA and allowed ineligible players to play.

[Andrew Jones]

I hardly call selling memorabilia and receiving benefits like tattoos "cheating"... at least in any way that affects play on the field.

So SMU, USC, Miami, etc. didn't cheat either because those cases only involved players who received extra benefits? If amateur athletes receiving extra benefits isn't cheating, what is?

Also, how can you say it has no bearing on what happens on the field? Look at what all of those programs did on the field while the players were receiving extra benefits and what they did after the NCAA put a stop to it.

[xXdirtyjoeXx]

u_want_my_cards...They negated every win and championship for the ineligible players in 2010. So since it happened in 2010, we should throw out the whole decade 2001-2010 of dominance? Sure I guess...makes complete sense to me.

[xXdirtyjoeXx]

$300-$1000 of benefits to $100k+. Nah...I guess it is the same thing.

Have you heard of Bobby DiGeronimo? If not, you might want to do some research before trying to claim that what tOSU allowed to happen was any better than those other programs.

[37Jetson]

Save the Holier than Thou Crap. All the so called self-governance that tOSU is attempting is going to fall flat on its face. The scandal at Ohio State (and many other major programs) is far beyond selling sports memorabilia.

If Woody Hayes was still alive he would be screaming to the Ohio State fans that they are a bunch of wankers.

A coach who went to bat for his players to win games? Color me shocked!

Kids made a couple bucks on selling some stuff, big deal. This is why the NCAA is a joke. This hardly affects play on the field. And if you think that Michigan needed the players suspended to win games, then they don't deserve to be on the same field with OSU.

[xXdirtyjoeXx]

37Jetson....I didn't personally know Woody (too young), but I know several people who did. I can tell you right now that Woody would be behind his players first. He would have handled it better than Tressel also. Would he say college athletics have been corrupted...yes he would. But I guarantee you that Woody took care of home first before pointing the finger elsewhere.

[37Jetson]

Your point that Woody Hayes would have handled the situation better is remotely close (he would have personally kicked the arse of any player stepping that far out of line), but you are missing my point of how ashamed he would be of how classless, obnoxious and ignorant that Buckeye Nation has become.

Don't try using big numbers with Michigan fans, Joe...you know better. :)!

[xXdirtyjoeXx]

Buckeye nation has its fair share of ignorant and obnoxious fans, but so does every program out there. To paint every tOSU fan as obnoxious, ignorant, and classless paints the person saying it just as ugly. Woody would have kept things in house, but he also would have called B.S. when he saw it. I believe he would call B.S. on this. Remember Woody himself got in trouble with the NCAA for giving money to help a player out when they were down. Woody would have been more upset with the players selling their tOSU trophys than the actual infractions.

Because Ohio State wasn't giving benefits for recruiting. The players who got the benefits WERE already on the team... therefore it doesn't affect on field play or who tOSU was getting to come to campus. What went on at Ohio State is different from SMU, USC and Miami as the players were bribed to come there to play to change the play on the field.

No matter if it is morally correct, it is completely different!

I am not an Ohio State fan, BTW.

Reggie Bush was already at USC when he received extra benefits. Same with the kids who Nevin Shapiro provided with extra benefits at Miami. tOSU cheated, plain and simple. Only someone who ignores the facts can conclude otherwise.

USC got hit hard because they worked against the NCAA instead of being open. tOSU will not be hit as hard because they are working with and being open with the NCAA. Big difference when it comes to penalties that will come down. USC also got hit hard because of the serious Mayo infractions the year before. It is night and day between what happened at USC and tOSU. When it comes to cheating, lets get something straight. Tressel cheated and was caught. Tressel is responsible for the cheating otherwise this would be a nonissue. If he had reported it like he should have, this would never have happened. Tressel is no longer a coach at tOSU and the 2010 season has been wiped from the records. Also this happened the past season. You all are making it out as the norm for tOSU. The Bush issue lasted 3 YEARS. The Miami debacle was 9 YEARS. tOSU was one single YEAR. No comparison to USC or Miami.

The Notice of Allegations from the NCAA states that the players received preferential treatment between November 2008 and May 2010. That's more than one year.

Also, some of the Bobby DiGeronimo stuff happened earlier this year (2011) and that's what led to additional suspensions including Posey's 2nd 5 game suspension.

[HBMC]

Now that Ohio State has a new coach.....

He will resign in 2 years with health related issues...and the reigns will be handed back to Luke Fickel :eek:

Oh yes, once he's realized that he has nothing in the cupboard, he'll leave, did it in Utah, did in Florida after he won with Ron Zook's players. Nice championship vulture.

[sportcrazynick]

Yes i do know how punctuate and write correctly. I was in a hurry and I hate reading statements that are not true. My parents know that The Ohio State University is an excellent academic school. However, you seem to have something stuck up your ass against it.

If you look into you will find that we have an excellent academic program here. Also, if you don't mind me asking my good sir, where did you receive your college diploma from? I see you're from Pennsylvania. Hopefully not Penn State because I looked at going to school there and it did not even come close to The Ohio State University's academic standards.

Before you discredit a university you should really do your homework. Sure 20-30 years ago The Ohio State University was predominately a "party school". There still is a lot of partying that takes place here I will admit that (I'm in a fraternity so I am aware everyone parties). However, this school does have an excellent academic program and you're just blind or plain ignorant if you cannot see that.

[xXdirtyjoeXx]

In Penn State's academic defense, they do have a top rated Business School. Most schools in the Big Ten are academically superior to the rest of the country, especially when it comes to research.

[sd_navarre]

Wisconsin - Michigan - Ohio State are all great academic schools, each with their own specialties. Each is known as a huge party school as well. Each is known for its athletic programs as well. Each school has good years and bad. Each school has had issues with NCAA violations(OSU -tatoos, MICH - practice hours, WI - free shoes etc.) But that is what makes being a fan/student/alumni of each of the schools worth it - The RIVALRY and chance to needle the fans of the other school :)!

[bdubs3316]

Don't try using big numbers with Michigan fans, Joe...you know better. :)!

Are u serious? UofM is a FAR better academic institution than OSU....it doesn't take half our stadium to spell OH...and the other to spell IO...as if they forgot what state they were in at that moment.

[xXdirtyjoeXx]

Also, some of the Bobby DiGeronimo stuff happened earlier this year (2011) and that's what led to additional suspensions including Posey's 2nd 5 game suspension

You mean the stuff that was reported immediately when it happened? Not hidden or lied about? Seems like the school did what was right.



The Notice of Allegations from the NCAA states that the players received preferential treatment between November 2008 and May 2010. That's more than one year.


What preferential treatment? I see players trading trophies for tats, but nothing else. How is this preferential treatment? I don't see anyone making tons of money off of themselves. They made at the most $2k and they had to pay all that back. Big difference between pimping out your son for $100k compared to selling items that are YOURS for $2k. Ohio State is paying the price for this, but it is in no comparision to what occured with Newton, USC, and Miami.

[xXdirtyjoeXx]

Thats because a majority of Michigan fans can't spell. Too much toking and drinking at the Chrysler, Ford, and GM plants. At least Ohio State fans can piece the 4 letters together. Heck, even the lowly Michigan State fans could figure this out lol.

OSU is a huge party school with a few elite (mostly graduate) programs and research professors, thus it is like a lot of large, state-funded research institutions such as Indiana, Purdue, Michigan State, Illinois, Minnesota, Tennessee, Florida, etc. OSU, like the aforementioned institutions, has to keep the tuition money flowing so they admit a ton of kids and have a huge student body. Credentials for these admitted students have risen EVERYWHERE because more HS graduates are attending college than ever before while the number of HS dropouts/GED graduates has increased since 1970.

Myron Rolle was a Rhodes Scholar at Florida State; Malcolm Tatum attended FSU and is in prison. Robert Smith (former Buckeye and frequent analyst on ESPN and the NFL Network) graduated cum laude from OSU and is a twice-published author and accomplished amateur astronomer. Andy Katzenmoyer never graduated from OSU and probably can't tie his shoes.

Big state schools have a huge sample size of students, student-athletes, and alumni to draw from. A few will become famous, a few will become infamous and most will become average 9-5 schmucks like nearly every 4 year college graduate in the US.

You are naive. EVERY major sports program has cheated the system since the beginning of the system. My parents told me stories of Bear Bryant delivering brand new cars to the families of players he was recruiting. This still happens today. The only time the rest of the world learns of these instances is when someone within feels cheated and squeals. Tressel was notorious at Youngstown for rule-breaking.

You say naive, yet have not stated a single fact. Show me facts that every Major sports program in D1 cheats. It is impossible because 90% follow the rules. Don't let the 10% ruin the rep of the other 90%.

In a hurry? How long does it take to press the shift key to capitalize? Run on sentences are not a big deal for a college student attending a major university.

Yes i do know how punctuate and write correctly. I was in a hurry and I hate reading statements that are not true.

OK Junior, tOSU could not hold the jock strap of the academic program of my undergrad (Kettering University formerly GMI Engineering and Management Institute). While you are not partying I was working my arse off with 20 credits per semester (the norm for the school) of real classes (no basket weaving) and still finding the time to party my arse off after I got my work done.

Also, if you don't mind me asking my good sir, where did you receive your college diploma from? I see you're from Pennsylvania. Hopefully not Penn State because I looked at going to school there and it did not even come close to The Ohio State University's academic standards.

Before you discredit a university you should really do your homework. Sure 20-30 years ago The Ohio State University was predominately a "party school". There still is a lot of partying that takes place here I will admit that (I'm in a fraternity so I am aware everyone parties). However, this school does have an excellent academic program and you're just blind or plain ignorant if you cannot see that.

In case you are wondering Ohio State does not hold a candle to the academics at the University of Michigan either.

While you are not partying I was working my arse off with 20 credits per semester (the norm for the school) of real classes (no basket weaving) and still finding the time to party my arse off after I got my work done.



In case you are wondering Ohio State does not hold a candle to the academics at the University of Michigan either.


Ok big shot. I myself also take 20 credits a quarter. I'm a pharmacy major. In case you are not aware that requires a doctorate. I'm currently taking two pharmacy courses, medicinal chem (which you wouldn't be able to understand or at least i highly doubt it). Therefore, don't start to assume i party all the time and take basket weaving because it's quite the opposite.

As far as your schooling goes, I've never heard of Kettering? I'm sure you only think its better because you went there and the same applies to me and my school. Everyone is biased in some regard. Don't start knocking academic programs until you find out what they are about though. Ohio State is no longer just a party school. I'm sure if you ask how many people party here a lot would say they do, however academics is the main priority. If you don't believe me then that's fine just stop thinking that this school is subpar to other because it is most certainly not.

You could have saved yourself a few Maxi Pads if you did not get so offended by the joke in the initial post. It was a joke.

I think that you chose very wisely for a career. Kudos to you for having the grades to get into that program.

I realize it was a joke but I hear this stuff all the time from people bashing the school I attend. It just sucks. Thanks for the kind words. I feel I chose correctly as well.

I commend you for emphasizing education. Our country needs more young people to focus on education advancement. Best of luck as you pursue your pharmacy degree. I began college with the intent of earning both pharmacy and biology undergraduate degrees. Physical chemistry was probably the toughest course I took as an undergraduate.

Arguing academics is such a dumb thing to do - anyone can make any school look better then another school depending on how they choose to rate things.

UM is rated ahead of Ohio State in many areas and Ohio State is ahead of UM in many areas.

Arizona State, where I went, gets ripped all the time - because it's incredibly easy to get into...but look at the amount of people that can't get into their major because it's so competitive - it cuts that "admission rate" in half because people don't do what they need to do to get into their program.

It's all relative on how you choose to compare things.

I would venture to say that students make the school not the other way around. I thought this was a bash Ohio St football program thread, if so I am down! lol that is the only team in the country I think i would pull for Tennessee to beat. I hate sweater vests, I hate watching a team win a championship because refs gave them a second chance on a horrible call, I hate people who cant drive, there dirty, there snitches, i just cant stand ohio st. But good news if they do take back the Big Ten that will be more easy BCS Championship wins for whatever SEC team they face that year. Just like the good ole days

Urban Meyer is a sneaky coward he bailed when Miles & Saban started beating his gators.Meyer has also lost alot of his key assistant coaches over the years.This will be a challenge for him so whoever thinks he will stroll on into the B10 and win easily he is sadly mistaken.Brady Hoke has a 1 year running start on him not to mention Meyer's former D Cordinator Greg Mattison who just happens to be on Hoke's staff.You think Mattison dont know Meyer's offensive philosophys? Dan Mullens will likely be the next coach at PSU who also knows Meyer's philosophys This will be a tough task and sanctions will make it even more tough!
