I am going to die laughing, it hurts, must stop...
Seriously... Ow. Need air.
You know, I had completely abandoned Bucknuts. But then I just got a call from a Husker buddy of mine that I served with, and he sent me to the post I'm going to quote below. He was rolling, I found myself joining him in relatively short order.
I hadn't considered the potential for unintentional comedy that Bucknuts represents these days, it is indeed an untapped gold mine. I mean, we just lost to Michigan, and I actually laughed out loud. lol. Sick.
"THE" post follows. This is not a joke, it's a real post....
(Edit -- for any that need more 'clarity', I'm going to embolden the areas I find so funny...)
"Not that it matters but this is the first time I have not supported Coach Tressel. He eliminated our chance of winning the game by putting Krenzel back in the game. What was he thinking?? Krenzel is not even an average college qb yet Tressel put him back in the game after McMullen played well and CK proved he shouldn't be in the game. Tressel is too loyal and it cost his team and our school a chance to repeat.
I will never support Tressel again as I now know he should not be the coach of our team. His decision was that bad. Last year was a pure act of God. Thank you God. I don't even appreciate that now after our coach played like a loser. Tressel should retire while he is ahead. There must be a coach who plays to win. I want him over Tressel.
What really makes me sick is that last year was a fluke not a real sign of a great program. We may as well get Cooper back. We are a lock to lose our bowl game since Krenzel is going to start. Maybe we will play a weak team since we will be about #15 in the polls.
Michigan was a better team but Tressel lost this game without giving our tean [sic] a chance. Thanks Jim.
Go Bucks!"

Yeah, I saw that one. Unbelievable. I'll trade today's QB question for 24-2 and the Championship any day!

I give up. This board is too hard to understand.

I just hope none of these "fans" twist an ankle or spain a knee while jumping off the bandwagon. What a pathetic post. Putting CK back in the game was questionable (IMHO) but to say that last year was a fluke....... come on. 10-2 is not that bad of a record in the Big 10. Yeah the loss hurts...... but that's football.

I thought putting CK back in the game after his injury was stupid (IMO). Even though I am disgusted with that decision I cannot begin to understand how it cost us the game. There were many, many, many things that cost us the game.
Maybe we were outplayed?

Outplayed, outcoached perhaps -- all in Ann Arbor packed with more fans than an NCAA game has ever seen. I'm not making excuses, we just plain got beat. That was an honest loss, I feel WAY better about it than I did the Wiscy L. I mean, my personal opinion was that I didn't agree with CK going back in after that sort of injury. He had played extremely well to that point *overall*, but Scottie Mac is more than capable, came in and played well, and I wanted to ride him out. But there's a good reason I'm watching from behind a tv set, instead of from the sideline.
So, just for the record, I don't have a beef with him hating JT's call, I just find the rest of it hysterical. How far he takes it.
That sort of attitude is representative of the type of people that have (IMO) destroyed what was the best place to talk OSU football. It used to [censored] me off, now I just find it hysterical.
Anyway, we could have folded down 21. Instead, we made it a game, and there were some great shots of Weasel fans on the sideline when we came within 7 -- they thought it was all slipping away. So, we got spanked, and yet we still made it a game. That's JT's upside. Even when you get crushed you can win. He's got his downsides, as does every other coach out there. There's no other HC I'd rather have right now though. I have no real problem with people who don't agree. That's their prerogative, I just find humor in the crazies.

I was going to go see what was being said on bucknuts but decided to stop by here first, glad I did. If the doctors gave the okay for Krenzel to go back into the game then i don't have a problem with that. It wasn't as if mcmullen was lighting the world on fire. To call last year an act of God and JT cant coach is ridiculous.

There is unintentional comedy all over Bucknuts. It's helping to take the edge off.

Maybe this loss will wash all the wagon fans away... C-Dog, as far as I'm concerned, whoever posted that at BN can be added to the list of those not allowed to post here (not that what I think means squat)... what a joke, I hope he leaves the buckeye sites for good!!!!!!
