I remember those... especially the one about OSU will beat Texas 99-0 or something to that effect. But when he was making those comments he was degrading the Big 12 hype machine more so than he was giving us props.

maybe so but that is deffinatly not how i heard it. He called tOSU "Big Boy Football" with a "Real Stadium" and they "Play the right way with a real qb" and so on. Much of it was degrading the big 12, like his mention of all of the great big 12 qbs in the nfl; however, if i am not mistaken he had tOSU in the Rose Bowl. I would call that respect

So did alot of the "experts." Im glad we won against scUM but i cant help but be a little dissapointed. This was the year to make a run. I guess one of the best things about being a buckeye...we'll reload and meet up with you guys in Austin next year.

I could be wrong.... but his comments make no sense. Maybe he did think OSU had a chance at the title and now he has changed. Who knows for sure... but maybe also he is trying to talk up Oregon without being blatant about it. If you had the task of talking about an at large team and having a chance to sway opinions prior to selections would you:

1. Talk about a team's merits with a questionable schedule in a questionable conference with less national appeal

or

2. Downtalk the perceived better team and talk about their flaws and how "they don't show up" in big games, even in victory like Michigan.

It is just my thought, as I've stated who knows for sure. The fact that he was a sports anchor in Portland only strenghtens my notion. You can bring doubt upon any team, and he is focusing on Ohio State. Something is not jiving.

Look, I don't want to put a nail in the coffin of any thread that has started to debate -- even for just one fleeting post - the relative merits of grape soda. but.

As for Cowherd, there really is nothing to analyze, he's simply pushing buttons, being a canard, stating something for effect - being an ass - and not to be taken seriously when he contradicts himself.

Now what about that grape soda issue that's gripping the headlines?

I think he is setting the stage for a OSU-ND Fiesta Bowl. The game gets a lot more interesting if he says ND is waaay better than OSU. Interesting game == money for media.

Colin Cowherd? Callin' cow herd? That's the best he could do for a stage name? And we're supposed to care about his opinion?

I never heard of this guy before you guys spoke about him. When I heard his program in the US, I found it and him to be very boring.

So, what's the point? He's an entertainer and poser, not a player in the BCS set-up. He isn't setting anything up, he's just trying to get Ohio State fans excited so he will appear to be important.

"Forgettaboutit baby. This race is over."

Turn him off and let's try to get this thread off the front page as quickly as possible.

Yesterday he said (at least, I think he was the one who said it) that as far as he's concerned, Ohio State is in the SEC now. He considered it a promotion to Ohio State, as he feels the SEC is the better conference. I felt insulted, though. Sometimes it seems like he has a brain, but chooses not to listen to it, and other times it seems he has no brain, but he is pretending that he does.
