It hasn't been a pleasant offseason with a rash of arrests and firing a basketball coach, but Geiger has kept the ship sailing straight. Geiger has survived Maurice Clarett's petulance, Jim O'Brien's cheating and his fans' own riots. The formula remains the same at Ohio State: As long as Jim Tressel keeps beating Michigan, it's all good. </TD></TR></TBODY></TABLE>
I don't know quite how to view this, but I thought it might interest people.
 
I stopped paying any attention to Dodd after that Stadium thingy he did last year... There was a great post on the Ozone - Tom Orr, I think - showing that even with modest numbers, there is no way Ohio Stadium could have failed to have made Dodd's list... I digress..

Don't worry about Dennis Dodd...

He always trumpets the same tired lines every column he writes. If he ever had an original sentence anywhere, I might be able to respect him even though he hates OSU. However, he couldn't write an original sentence if you gave him all the words, and for that he's a moron.

I don't read dd's rag. I suppose he took a cheap potshot at the Buckeyes, I will assume it has something to do with LI. :so: :sleep1:

Here's a tip. Instead of posting a link to his article, paraphrase what he's saying. By posting a link for people to follow it increases his hit count and puts money in his pocket.

KentState, the link is CBS Sportsline, so Dodd will be getting a bajillion hits one way or the other. The best move is probably to write a well reasoned letter to the editors and let them know that Dodd must go. Of course that won't work either, but it might make you feel better.

Now, if CBS had the contract rights to Big Ten football games, I'd bet Dodd would be singing a different tune instantly ... or working for someone else. :wink2:

The funniest thing about the stadium article was that he posted follow up comments by fans. Some fans asked why he ommitted osu, with the unique horseshoe design, and great tradition. His exact reply was this: "That's fine, but can they fill the place?" That very sentence right there illustrated his lack of intellect.

hahaha....can they fill the place. wouldnt a better question be, "can they keep the attendance UNDER the seating capacity?"

every OSU game i have been to has had a few hundred OVER the stated capacity.

i read somewhere, and i can't remember exactly where at the moment, that either OSU, TTUN, or Tenn has lead the NCAA in attendence every year for the last 30 or something ridiculous like that.

You have to expect Dodd to pander to the SEC though.

The only way guys like this make a living is to say controversial stuff, hate a popular team and have public feuds with their fans. Unfortunately a lot of these losers pick OSU. The worst part is that they will always get the last word because somehow they have worked themselves into the public eye and can alter perception to an extent. I can't stand this guy...He should join Trev Alberts, Mark May and Bob Greise in a huge orgy of college football personalities that can't separate personal bias from fact.

There are 5 stadiums that seat 100,000 plus...

3 of them are in the big ten (OSU, Mich, PSU) - all of which are filled every home saturday
1 of them is Tenny - Filled
1 of them is the Rose Bowl - UCLA home games.... well.. not so much

Yes, big ten football sucks. People hate it. No fun. Weak assed stadiums too boot. What a friggin joke that was (The Dodd article).
