College Football 2008 season

**Trauma1** · 08-30-2008, 03:57 PM

Gators looked impressive on all sides of the ball. The defense looks MUCH improved. Special teams continues to be dominant......brandon james is just unreal.

Chris Rainey and Jeff Demps......talk about speed!

Bring on UM....It's time to give the hurricanes a clear football demonstation of the UF "Perfect Storm".

I still love you Jmh.

I concur.

I listened to ESPN hype Clemson's Spiller and Davis for weeks. Too bad they completely overlooked both offensive lines. Oh... and thank goodness Corso picked against the Tide.

Rush yards: Bama - 239 Clemson - 0

Roooooooolllllllll Tiiiiiiiiiiiide, Roooooooooollllllllll!!!!!!!!!!

(...and a weak 'Go Cal!')

No offense Plates, as I normally have nothing against the Buckeyes or their fans, but let me address your cockiness for a moment.

First, OSU should be banned from playing for the National Championship this year. It wouldn't matter what SEC team they faced, they would still get destroyed. The Big 10 is not what it used to be... it's a weak conference that's on par with the Big East and the ACC at best. OSU wasn't even one of the THREE best teams at the end of last season (that distinction would belong to LSU, Georgia, and USC), but because of a broken BCS system, they were sent out as lambs to the slaughter again.

I just hope you guys go where you belong this year... to the Rose Bowl. You'd have a shot at winning that one, especially against a second-rate PAC-10 opponent. Everyone's happy... Buckeye fans and the rest of the nation who cringes at the thought of having to watch an SEC powerhouse manhandle a team that would probably have an 8-4 record if they played in a dominate conference.

And don't even try to convince me that the Big 10 has any real competition. Who... Michigan? Illinois? Penn State? Maybe OSU would be better served to schedule some SEC teams during the regular season. That way, instead of beating up on the likes of Youngstown State, Ohio, and Troy... they can actually measure themselves against real football schools.

I know that's harsh, and things always change. I'm sure the Big 10 will get back to its former condition in a few years, but for right now... just hope for Pasadena... not Miami. Everyone wins.

End rant.

Personally i get sick of the "OSU should be banned from the NC" i think thats pretty outright stupid. I think they SHOULDN'T have been there last year in the first place therefore got stomped. Last year in my opinion they were not supposed to do as well as they did and this is a year they will be a better more experienced team.

With all that said i think the big 10(they can't even count there is 11 teams in there

) is not that strong and unless OSU beats USC and manages only 1 defeat i don't think they'd deserve a NC bid.

O and another note i was SOOOOOOOO happy to see tech lose to ECU

And o yea GO CAL!!!

Okay, I thought my "banning" comment was an obvious exaggeration... but your retort proves otherwise. Here's what I think is "pretty outright stupid" and I'm sick of hearing: your reply that they've "gained experience" and it's not their fault because they over-performed last year. WHAT??? Their over-performance just proves my point about how weak their schedule is. OSU can gain all the experience in the world, but it won't make them FASTER. Yes, Pryor is a quick kid, and I'm sure they'll appear swift against their schedule, but when they play an SEC opponent, not so much.

Hey, maybe I'm wrong. We'll see. SC will be a huge test for them. If they come into Los Angeles and run circles around the Trojans, then I'll reconsider my position.

And yeah, the VT - ECU game was classic. ECU won by playing their own version of "Beamer-ball." I was at the Cal game and it was a fun one to watch!

Sorry if you misunderstood me i agree with you somewhat but in general i feel people really do feel they need to be banned from the NC. I also think big ten has very little competition. While the SEC really is above everyone else i think some people put them too far ahead of everyone else...but until they are dethroned(don't see this happening soon...) they can smack talk all they want

I bet the cal game was nice...i really like our new unis and i prefer riley to start over longshore...

o yea and i really don't think OSU will run circles around SC but i hope the game is close just so its good(a lot of preseason hype) but i have a feeling its not gonna be so close....

Big opening weekend for the SEC - every team won their first game except for Miss State.

The BCS is what it is....... OSU should not have been there last year.... they were not even supposed to get that far so getting to the national championship was a success story....... as for you hating on the big ten that is fine with me, they are down and will return to greatness.... it is cyclical and all divisions have this "yo yo" cycles..... as for OSU making it to the NC 3 years in a row.... if they beat USC at USC they deserve to be there just like any other team especially if they go undefeated....... as for being cocky, well deal with it because you are quite cocky yourself posting your rant as you do....... I have no problem with it myself but do not preach about being cockey when you yourself are posting in the same reguard......... Peace!

Nah man, I didn't mean to come off like a preachy jerk. I just reread my post and realized the sarcasm I intended came off that way. I think it has to do with all the OSU and Michigan fans in my life. Wait, who am I kidding? I just love talking smack about college ball!

As for being cocky, I really can't be... I'm an Alabama fan! We haven't been to the big dance since the end of the '92 season and haven't beaten Auburn in the last six tries.

(Cue the violins)

Go Buckeyes! Go Cal! Roll Tide! and... peace.

I am really cool with people loving their teams........cocky does not bother me....... I love College ball..... even trauma with Florida..... it is all good to me.....they beat OSU and I applaude them for it...... The Buckeyes have been a embarrassment the last couple years and if anybody knows how painfully clear this is I do........ but alas I am what I am a Buckeyes fan (not a fair weather one at that)..... so I will take the abuse, I have thick skin.....maybe one day they will return to greatness......

You have to stand by your team. I'm cocky on occassion, i admit that.

I still remember the first time i ever went to a gator game.......an experience that is unforgetable. The smack talk during the year is what it's all about. I honestly do it all in good fun.....unless you're a yankee fan, then it's pure distaste!!! Lol!
