the first thing that came to my mind was $$$....

Its disappointing but not surprising....

 

[DiHard]

a quality move by the bigten to combat the drpepper sec championship, the enron big12 championship...etc...etc...

a good move by the bigten to ENSURE that the osu-scum game is the final game of the year for the bigten....

Sweet!

That is a good point...but it is still disappointing in the grand scheme of things.

 

[DiHard]

maybe i should have said....THE game of the year in the BigTen....

Did we really need an official sponsor ?

I would have thought Cialis a good sponsor since we always get 'up'
for The Game.

 

[gold_pants]

Heard that on 610. We are getting close to having a sponsor for every game...

 

[MililaniBuckeye]

Three words: Total fucking bullshit. Why does the biggest rivalry game in American sports need a corporate sponsor, and why does it need to be labeled a classic?

Yeah, but we're up for the entire week. Not just three days. So Cialis would have to sponsor the game twice, just to keep it up that long.

 

[DiHard]

count me silly....but as stupid as the average media member is....

does a win in the SBC Michigan-Ohio State Classic late in the year help.....and does a loss in the "classic" help reduce the normal poll bounce....

just a thought.....

in short.....is this an attempt to minimize the effects of not having a championship game....in terms of polls....

 

[BuckeyeBaiter]

Another revenue stream. Geiger says it goes to scholarships. Nice way to justify the corporate BS....

 

[BuckeyeNation27]

this sucks. fuckin sell outs.

 

[ScarletArrow]

Let's see...what witty slogan can I come up with to deface the SBC acronym and brand name?

How about the...Scholarships Buying Cash game?

Too bad - first the Rose Bowl, and now the greatest rivalry in sports slips further into the corporate sponsorship abyss.
