Do you think that ESPN might want to come to Columbus for the Texas game?

i think you greatly underestimate how pissed we are and the effectiveness of our memories. whether or not espin forgets about this years problems and lets go. WE WILL NOT.

what you seem to not see is that tOSU fans are not angry or upset with espin. we are enraged. there is a very serious difference there.
I was cracking up listening to Mike & Mike this morning talk about the passion of tOSU fans...they mentioned how their mailboxes overflow anytime a bad word is mentioned...

Its true 100% but I just wish some people would choose which battles to fight rather than swinging every time a cross word comes out

Passion is one word for it. Stupidity might be a better one.

Maybe, but when your idea of "passion" is when a camel kneels down in front of you and nobody is watching... there might be a subtle difference between your interpretations.

Milly and Bucknutty's camel jokes are much better than your pathetic, lame attempts. Thank you, come again.

<!---- SUBJECT NAME GOES BELOW---->Trev Alberts <!---- SUBJECT NAME GOES ABOVE----></TD></TR></TBODY></TABLE><! ----------------RIGHT MUGSHOT ENDS ------------------>ANDERSON, Ind. -- Linebacker Trev Alberts has closed the book on his injury-plagued career by retiring after three seasons in which he saw more therapy than opposing running backs for the Indianapolis Colts.

Alberts' stats tell the tale of why he retired Tuesday -- seven starts, 29 games played and 20 missed with only 103 tackles since signing a six-year contract valued at $8.15 million in 1994.

''I could see this day coming,'' Alberts said. ''Three years ago when I entered the NFL, I was so excited about my career. I thought I could do some great things. My body just fell apart.''

Alberts racked up almost as many injuries as starts the last three seasons. He has had a dislocated right elbow, a concussion, a partially dislocated left shoulder and a hamstring injury. He was supposed to be operated on Monday for his latest injury, a shoulder problem, but he never showed up for the reconstructive surgery, ending a training camp soap opera.

''It was something that was hanging out there that needed to be closed, and now it is,'' Colts vice president of football operations Bill Tobin said of the retirement.

''He is going to get on with his life, and we are going to get on with our football team. Unless he decides to come out of retirement in years to come, he is probably history in the National Football League.''

Added coach Lindy Infante: ''I'm glad we can put this thing to rest and finally go on with the rest of our lives -- both he and us.''

Alberts complained of pain in the shoulder earlier this month while participating in the team's early training camp for rookies, free agents and veterans who were injured at the end of last season.

The team said Alberts had been evaluated by Dr. Gary Misamore of Indianapolis, who determined Monday's scheduled surgery was necessary and that the problem dated back to previous surgery. Alberts first dislocated his right shoulder when he played college football at Nebraska.

Alberts was told to report to the Anderson University training camp with other veterans last Thursday but he never appeared.

He has had a series of injuries since winning the Dick Butkus award as the nation's best linebacker in 1994 and pondered retirement before training camp began. But he and the Colts failed to reach an agreement over the team's bid to recoup a portion of his $3.275 million signing bonus.

His retirement means the Colts will have another $875,000 to work with under the salary cap this season.

''Trev gave his all when he came out on the field, so you have to feel bad for him because he really loved football,'' defensive lineman Bernard Whittington said. ''It's just unfortunate his injuries were pretty bad, and it had to come down to this.''

ESPN coming to Columbus is insane. I mean, I'm a very calm, non-violent guy and I'd probably consider joining an attempt to storm the Gameday set. Your average campus dumpster burner won't think twice about it. Bricks, eggs, bottles, rotten vegetables and probably even more unsavory things are likely to get thrown at them. If ESPN thinks that the aura of "St. Herbie" can somehow protect them, they really don't get the mood around here.

Then again, maybe they do. OSU fans rioting on Gameday would be a big story, and another black eye to justify their campaign.

Holbrook would be wise just to tell them what Geiger did -- "sorry, we don't have the extra resources to ensure your security". Otherwise, it's going to be a mess.

Back to the original question: will espn want to come to the game with Texas, the obvious answer to that is yes. Many of us may not want that to happen. That will depend on who the athletic director will be. Personally i feel that if May and Alberts were fired than i could live with them coming, that would show that the powers to be at espn thought those two went to far in there scathing attach on the University, Coach and Athletic Director.

The question that really needs to be addressed is would the powers to be want them here knowing for security reasons many fans may want to use that air time to pummel espn and there crew on national TV like espn did to tosu. We all know that there will be in that throng of people someone that will do something real stupid like try to harm someone on the set, after all this will be there only outlet to let espn know how perhaps we all feel about how they handled the story.
