Because then he couldn't get his shot in. We're gonna have to get used to this shit until we shut everybody up. It's infuriating, especially considering as I've said in the past how Bobby Stoops and the Spooners continue to get a pass for their postseason flubs. Boise St.? Dismantled by a WVU squad that just lost their coach? 55-19? Come on.

Think this is bad: if you have a bad off-day against USC for any reason, y'all will never hear the end of it. You'll have several years of negative polling feedback ahead. I hate to say it, but if you lose to USC they will pass you over in the one loss team derby this year because they really do buy into that crap. Ghosts of the last two years I guess. Unfair as hell, but there it is.

Absolutely agree.
We have zero room for error this year in the national opinion arena and yes, it does matter.

Coming off of this draft and all of the positive comments from Jets GM Mike Tannebaum regarding tOSU players combined with next years ridiculous draft class out of tOSU I think my main concern will be the lashing Tressel will take(if they lose to USC or lose in the National Title game).
Thus far, the negative commentary has been limited in regards to Tressel, but I can see the second guessers and "what have you done for me lately" crowd come out of the woodwork. The people who fail to see the 3 National Title appearances in 5 years, but instead back-to-back Title game losses.
It won't be fair, but I think the criticism will begin to mount. The "company" line out of ESPN will be that tOSU has the most players in the NFL but can't win big games and Coach won his Title with Cooper's players and Dantonio at DC. It's impossible to continually knock tOSU when they will easily have the most players in the NFL after the upcoming season. I can just see the typical ESPN idiot changing his "slow Ohio State player" to Tressel can't win the big games.

I agree, unfortunately.
It just doesn't make any sense at all that we get bashed so much for going to three title games in six years, with one win. I wouldn't mind it as much if we weren't voted into the title game(s) by the same people who bash us daily. I said this in another thread - the media acts like we forced ourselves into the title game last year. The fucking computers had a VT/LSU title game; it's the media who wanted OSU/LSU. Just go ahead and make those kids feel terrible, people who voted for us. It's their fault. I'm really glad we made it - three title games in six years is impressive. I'll take a title every six years for the rest of my life and be ridiculously happy about it. But acting like Ohio State fields a team that is going to get blown out in every big game is just getting stupid.
I'm glad I'm going into Journalism. I can give us all something worth reading.

You'll never make it in the real journalism world, though.
You won't be able to flunk the IQ test, so you'll get left out.

True. This degree I'll have is going to be worthless. Nobody will hire someone who doesn't want to stir up controversy.
