-Look at what those crazy ass Europeans do over soccer. They actually have real riots and kill people. Disagreements over sports with them is no doubt about it physical violence, the only question is that of degree.
-Extrapolate out the increase in agitation and how quickly the shock factor must keep going up to be the number 1 shock jock, add that to the inherent instability of the audience they intentionally target and remember the passion people feel over CFB(its not just a sport to us, its a referendum on who you are and where you are from) and I could honestly see some nut job in the very near future making a Jim Rome wish for the days of Chrissy Everret.

Fortunately for us, the shock jocks won't heed the advice of the sober minds of the world like Jax. They will continue to provide us (and the Buckeyes) with plenty of Bulletin Board material. I intend to enjoy every moment of it, and to read through this thread some time in January and have a good cry (because I'll be laughing so hard).

Yeah, he proceeded to rip thefan this morning, he's basically been on a 3 day Ohio State bash, but I guess it gets him ratings.

One small tidbit about Strength of Schedule that Cow-herd kept bringing up...
Saragin
Ohio State - 56
Hawaii - 143
Youngstown State - 131
Yes, the I-AA team Ohio State played has a stronger schedule than Hawaii.
His show gets no air time for me (because he's an idiot in general, not just his anti- OSU/Big10 rants) so I could not care less what he says. If Ohio State takes care of business against WV/USC then he among others will have to eat their words. |

He was right when he said it wasn't 30 to 119, though  .

somebody please explain to me how west virginia deserves to be in it. they lost to usf who we now see is not very good. they almost lost to louiseville, theyve had many close calls. and as we always do lets pay homage to the great coaches throughout college football from ohio. Gary Pinkell, former Toledo coach, takes a falling program in mizzou and builds them back up, ohio style.
