I recall 97 onward well so I have experienced it somewhat.
Not really sure why any other time period matters though. My hopes and aspirations are for this OSU players and staff. There is a difference between being irate anytime my team doesn't make the playoffs, and being slightly disappointed. I am still very proud of this group of players. I just know that if we could have put it all together we would have easily been a top 4 team, such is football though.

Bien. Bien chiludo.
As someone who went to school five miles east of that whore up north during the Cooper years, I can guarantee you that it matters.

Go Bucks!
I think there are only a handful of coaches that can put The Ohio State Buckeyes in position to be playing for the national championship, less than a dozen, I know this. I am 100% certain that UFM is one of those special few coaches and we are damn fortunate to have him. I also know this. I know that in that state up north they're paying MORE than what Ohio State is paying and they have not come close to where this program is, not even close. I've been a fan since Woody was coaching, yeah I'm old, and I can say this much, I am not upset at all that we're not playing for the championship, it's just not our year. I am happy as hell we beat Wisconsin because they would have been an embarrassment to the B10 and we would have had to hear that crap the rest of the year. I look forward to the Cotton Bowl, I hope like hell our Buckeyes beat USC. I look forward to the Buckeyes learning from this year, improving, getting better, stronger and beating that team up north. . .AGAIN!
GO BUCKS!!!

It's one thing to have high hopes. It's another to come off as though you're owed something. 99% of college football fans would kill for the last six seasons we've had as Buckeyes.
I never saw a Buckeye team lose fewer than 3 games in a season my entire time at tOSU, so I'm enjoying this run.

You've tempered it quite a bit. Earlier you said that you expect Ohio State to be in the top 4 every year which is an entitled and unrealistic expectation. Shit happens and believe it or not there are other great programs out there. Ohio State has been in the conversation every year of the playoff era which is amazing but apparently that isn't good enough for you.

And most of the '80s, so what's your point?
University admins obviously accepted mediocrity for most of the '60s/'70s/'80s/'90s and now it's nice that the university obviously no longer accepts mediocrity. Indeed, as well as Tressel did in the early 21st century, to replace him they hired a coach who clocked Tressel's team 41-14 in 2006. Lucky for the Buckeyes he was available at the time or they might have regressed back into mediocrity.
And if not for the previous mediocrity Ohio State would currently be leading in all-time wins.
I digress, something Urban says he tries not to do nowadays.
I don't want any messages saying 'I'm holding my position.' We're not holding a goddamned thing. We're advancing constantly and we're not interested in holding anything except the enemy's balls. We're going to hold him by his balls and we're going to kick him in the ass; twist his balls and kick the living shit out of him all the time. Our plan of operation is to advance and keep on advancing. We're going to go through the enemy like shit through a tinhorn.

da fuq? If it weren't for the scUM games in the late 80s/thru the 90s, Cooper's era was every bit as good. Hell without Cooper Ohio State wouldn't have been in the position it was for the early JT era. And calling Woody's years mediocre is dumb...they were anything but mediocre....
Every coach as an expiration date. JT was nearing his, Cooper hit his as did Bruce and Woody. One day UFM will as well. That's not accepting mediocrity, it's reality. Accepting mediocrity would have been extending Fickell in 2011 or hiring Glen Mason instead of Tressel in 2001....

Getting really excited about this game now. I assume it's going to be a virtual home game for OSU. Other than Sam Darnold I don't know too much about USC and how good they are. Defense seems to be mediocre but their offense is definitely dangerous. How's everyone feeling about this matchup?

Cotton and peach weaseled their way into being New Years 6 bowls. Fiesta, sugar, rose and orange are historically the top bowls, but we needed 6 so there we go. A traditionalist will say WTf. Future generations will see cotton as great.
