We Are Still Ohio State

[Carmen Ohio]

Yeah i also thought about the same thing that Buc27fan said about Tressel knowing his team was not ready and they are being "battle tested" right now to get them ready for the future. I like this thread and "Carmen" brought out so many valid points in his 1st post.

This was one of the most positive threads I have read. I just wonder if "Carmen" is really Kirk Herbstriet in disquise. The way he posted in this thread, it made me think of how Kirk would discribe the " The STATE of Ohio State Football right about now.

Kirk would have plenty to say about how we are playing, but no one would be able to hear that because he never has any thing really bad to say about OSU football. At least in my mind i have never heard it before.

LOL... no I'm not Kirk, but I've met him a few times. it's hard to say something completely negative about our team because we're widely acknowleged as having some of the best athletes in the country. When we lose it's usually because of mental mistakes - missed assignments and the like. There's enough negativity flying around when we lose a game. The truth is that every team plays us like it's for the championship and sometimes we get outschemed. The problem with this team is their inexperience with adjusting to what other teams are doing. Like I said before, I think we've seen enough where there shouldn't be as many excuses. We need a solid performance against Indiana to build some confidence.
