Dinich: The chaos. C'mon, let's hear it. Georgia got hosed. But LSU has two losses! Why is Illinois in the Rose Bowl? The best team is not playing in the national championship. Who is the best team? They all lost! This is why a playoff should never exist. For the next month, argue over the matchups. Argue over the BCS. Argue over Christmas dinner. It's as entertaining as the games themselves. Which you'll watch no matter who is playing. And when LSU beats Ohio State for the national championship, and that sense of finality sets in, you'll already be longing for the chaos of next season. Because this year, your team got hosed.

Low: A quick glance at the NFL rosters suggests it, and many of the NFL scouts come right out and say it: The best football in the country is played in the SEC. Come Jan. 7, the SEC gets another chance to prove it on the field. LSU can become the third SEC team in the past five years to walk away with the national championship. It could easily be the fourth team in five years had Auburn not been shafted in 2004. Florida won last season and LSU in 2003. What makes this run for the title all the more intriguing is that the Tigers twice lost this season while holding down the No. 1 spot in the polls. Though it hasn't played like the best team in the country over the last month, LSU is easily the most talented team in the country. The BCS system isn't set up to give third chances, but the Tigers won't need another opportunity after they beat Ohio State in New Orleans.

I don't usually pay atention to the people ripping us but what the [censored]. Has any team in the history of CFB ever had this kind of lack of respect after one [censored]ing loss? This is just flat getting out of hand.
BTW final regular season results OOC games vs BCS schools:
Pac 10: 5-3
Big 10: 5-4
SEC: 7-7
ACC: 9-10
B12: 5-6
BE: 7-8 |
My e-mail to Mr. Tellshow:
Dear Sir,
I noticed you have a paypal link requesting donations for keeping your site up and running. I have no doubt that your site is time consuming. My webmaster bills an hourly rate and his bills are quite large when the site needs updating or design elements.
I usually do not bill web sites for my time as the time I spend there is generally leisure time. I must however bill you as there was no disclaimer on the site regarding the absolute stupidity of your opinions. You have a jar asking people to donate to you for keeping "an accurate" site.
Your assertion that Hawaii would go into Ohio Stadium on January and win a football game leads me to believe that you are either incredibly stupid or intentionally wasting my time. I am forced to assume the latter as you do have a website that is well designed.
As an accountant my normal rate is $150.00 per hour but in the interest of fairness I will only charge you for the 35 minutes I spent reading your dribble. Please remit payment in the amount of $80 via paypal to the address in the from box. I normally accept check payments but only on warm days in Columbus during the month of January.
Thank you for your time.

I am not a betting man but I would bet real money I get no response.

Going to revive the thread a little bit. I like Cowherd, but naturally don't always agree. He did mention on today's show that to all the Buckeyes fans out there - he dogs on Ohio State because they matter. If Ohio State didn't matter, he wouldn't say anything. Also, I didn't get to listen to a later segment on the show dedicated to ripping the Big 10, but I'm sure it had something to do with OOC scheduling.

Cowherd made a brilliant observation a week or two ago - there is a correlation between the time you spend online and the size of your gut. Brilliant.

Meh, I will be honest, I enjoy Colin more than I enjoy most radio hosts, sure he made an entire week out of bashing tOSU and that [censored]ed me off, but what's he saying that everyone else isn't? He bashed us because he knew two things, one, no one who wasn't a fan would disagree, and two, we are a huge fanbase and it would get our attention. Granted, I enjoy it more when he bashes someone else, but meh, he's better than Dan Patrick or these two San Diego guys I have in the morning.
