Nebraska v. Washington- Colin said that in USC's defense, Nebraska has 9 titles and was scheduled 6 years ago. Now correct me if I am wrong, which I'm not, but didn't Washington go 10-1 in 2000! This year, with a healthy Jake Locker, Washington would light the blackshirts up. Hell, Washington gave USC a fight.
Akron- Notre Dame- Please, is colin going to argue that Akron is worse than Notre Dame! Nice name drop, but the product is awful.
YSU-Idaho- Colins reasoning was that the game was scheduled for Nick Holt. The former coach at Idaho. I guess he is no longer there, and USC attempted to back out but couldn't. Can anyone think of any reason why Ohio State would schedule YSU? We don't have any conections there... right?
Now, I am not trying to justify our schedule this year, it is a joke. But to say we are less deserving than schools like USC is BS. Colin thinks that our confrence is weak! Yet, with a UCLA win and ASU loss, a 7-5 UCLA team will win the confrence. |
You're talking about the 1460 thing with Spiels? I heard most of that, and like you're saying, found it desperately transparent. Give SC a pass on Idaho, but not
OSU on YSU.... Miss. St. is a solid win for WVU, but Michigan was down... bla bla bla.....
Herbie handed Colin his ass earlier... forget the whole of it but it went something like this...
After stroking SC's schlong...
Colin: Look, the last 4 teams the Buckeyes have lost to have had athletic QBs, they can't match up.
Herbie: Well, you ask Vince Young who was the toughest team he faced in 2005. Seriously. And he will tell you it was Ohio State, and not the SC double corner blitz that he treated like school kids..
On those four losses, I'd add....
1 - 2005 Ohio State lost to Texas - QB Vince Young. Yes, VY was mobile. He popped off a hell of a run in the 1st Q. Then, was shut down the rest of the evening, more or less.
OSU held Texas to lowest total of the year, by no stretch was this game a blow out.
2 - 2005 Penn State. QB Michael Robinson. Mobile, I guess. I mean, Colin seems to like to rip on PSU as a has been program with a senile coach... but.. whatever, we'll forgive the double standard. 17 - 10. Mobile fast QB managed a 5 yard scoring drive too! Quite the blow out.
3 - Florida 2007 Fiesta. QB Chris Leak. Somehow Leak is now a mobile QB? True this was the biggest blow out of the bunch, it's ironic that it came with a drop back QB... true Tebow was taking snaps... But, it was no secret what he was doing with the snap. To their credit, they spanked Ohio State..
4- Illinois 2007. QB Juice. Here again, we find Ohio State losing by 7 or less, and revisionist history seems to find this some sort of blow out... and [censored].. this game was not even a month ago... Ohio State played poorly, Illinois made no mistakes.. they won. The refs aside, Illinois wanted it more that day. OK. Sure... but 28-21 isn't exactly giving up 50 to Kentucky and Arkansas, losing, and still considered the "real" best team....
