Me too...
That's exactly why I started it.
Hopefully it will be a couple orders of magnitude more amusing on Tuesday morning.

Buckeyes trying to avoid deja vu all over again
NEW ORLEANS -- The speed thing you can accept. Jim Tressel's Columbus Beef Trust has been told for years that it is slower than a broken watch. At least when it comes to that big, bad, blew-by-you SEC speed.
Ohio State coaches have all but admitted it in their preparations for Monday's national championship game. In December, they installed a practice drill called "SEC Tiger Drill." That's not too obvious is it?
"I think it's our coaches saying, 'Maybe they are faster than us. Maybe we do need to work on our speed,'" said Ohio State offensive tackle Alex Boone.
How many programs have a "speed coordinator?" Former Olympic sprinter Butch Reynolds helped put together the drills. Practices are twice stopped at random so the team can run sprints the width of the field.
"I wish we would have done it last year," defensive back Malcolm Jenkins said.
Pouncing on the speed angle this week is easier than a hooker a block off Bourbon Street. There is at least a kernel of truth to it. Conclusive video evidence shows that Florida wiped Ohio State off the field a year ago in the BCS title game.
Cont'd ...

Lets just hope this speed thing doesnt go overboard. Id hate to seem them come out with their hair on fire and start playing sloppy football.

You know I've participated in this thread, and relished in the hate for the most part. But after reading the latest Dodd article, he makes a good point at the end. We still have to prove we belong.
We can talk a big game about being hated and disrespected nationwide and in the media. We can continue to argue about the myth of SEC speed and the fact that the Big Ten has a strong record against the greatest conference ever.
But we are still 0-8 against the SEC. And if we don't take care of business Monday, we'll be 0-9. These jackasses will pat themselves on the back. We'll try to bury our heads in the sand. And we'll go through the same routine next year.
So let's forget about the masturbators. After Monday, someone will have their say. And let's hope its Ohio State shutting these [censored]s up.
