I think it's time. How about this one?--THE Ohio State Embarrassment.

At the Alamo Bowl Press Conference yesterday, hardly any questions to Tressel had to do with the upcoming game. Rather they were about THE Ohio State Embarrassment's off the field problems.

Odd, since I seem to remember Coach (Train) Tressel coming in with a rep as a stern disciplinarian. So much for perception, eh?

Bravo....well played. Personally, I am sick and tired of all these guys at my office trying to cram OSU down my throat...telling me why OSU will always be better than BG. Everytime I bring up the infractions and NCAA trouble, its "Well, ever school does it". No, I'm sorry...not EVERY school does it. I am not saying BG is perfect and has all angels on all the teams...we have a few bad apples. But dammit I am SO sick and tired of this OSU lovefest. Their hoops program in on probation...the football program is a mess and Geiger stands up there and says "It's all under control". I am tired of Tressel's sweater vest and "good boy" image. BS. Give me Brandon in a BGSU football sweatshirt ANY day.

I am proud and so grateful to be a Falcon! Do it the right way or don't do it. Play by the rules...We win AND lose the right way with dignity and class. If rules are broken, the people breaking the rules are dealt with. We are not perfect...but we strive to stay clean and our spotless NCAA record means more to me than any national title....

I should just brush it off and tell them "If it doesn't involve BGSU, it doesn't matter to me." But it bothers me when they try to shove it in my face about "THE OHIO STATE UNIVERSITY". And 98% of them have never set foot on OSU's campus. If only we had beaten them last year!!! But this stuff never stops...they walk by spouting off about OSU...I am slowly losing my cool. They just don't get it...I feel sorry for them, actually.

I know hammb, BGSU 99 and a few others are also OSU fans....I can respect that, no problem. You guys are huge BG fans as well and support the teams.

But FWIW, I hope the Bucks get pummeled tonight...I hope they get destroyed. Anything to shut these idiots up.

Thanks for letting me rant. I feel better already.

GO FALCONS!!!

Freak:

Don't sugarcoat it, let us know how you really feel.

All these incidents at OSU have been going on long before Tressel took over, they just did a better job of covering it up prior. Once they won the National Championship people started to take notice. After the first story broke (can't remember which one, there have been so many) the un-official hands-off policy for players and the program went out the door.

I personally knew of a couple of incidents, one involving a certain receiver who played in the late nineties. Lets just say his off the field problems in the NFL started way before he played with the Cardinals, Chargers and Dolphins.

I am sick of the crap that goes on over there, and their attitude. I remember years ago how OSU fans jumped on the bandwagon when Michigan, Nebraska, and Miami's programs got into trouble. They still think there @#$% don't stink. Well it does.

GO oSu, BEAT Offensive State University

I'm with Major. Even as on OSU fan I never believed that they ran a perfectly clean program. I know too many BG players who were friends with their OSU counterparts and heard stories from them. I believe the WR you mention was driving some pretty nice wheels in his time at OSU...nobody questioned where he got the dough for that.

Winning brought them back into the limelight and now the hands-off policy is off. It would be an interesting world if the hands-off policies came off in every major college town in America at the same time

dont start. i have seen some players driving interesting vehicles around BG before. enough that it woud make me wonder.

for example?

When I pass the player parking lot during practice a lot of the cars are junkers. I have yet to see a Hummer or a Benz...


And the basketball players...I usually see four players to one car when they are driving around town. The car is so small it looks like they are in a clown car.

If the athletic dept. is providing these cars, they better stop being so cheap!

A kid from my HS in the early 90s got a scholarship to YSU. His parents then blew all the savings they had on a brand new jeep which he had the last part of his senior year.

Now, I am not trying to make an excuse for everyone, but some people do have nice cars. I wish I was one

Bullshit. Drive by an OSU practice one day, then a Michigan practice the next. The next two days, drive by a Bowling Green and Eastern Michigan practice. The next day, report back to me and tell me whether or not there are recruiting violations taking place and at which schools.

I remember one of our basketball players had this crappy (I think) ford festiva (It was white with lovely turquiose splatter/stripes on it) when i was in school. Like someone said before, it looked like a clown car when they all got out of it.

Who was our QB in 1994...Baseball player too. I can't remember his name (anything from the fat punter era is blocked out) Ryan something? He drove around in a pretty average car.

FWIW - I had always heard that Ron Harper rode around in a Mercedes while at Miami.

Ryan Henry was the QB around that time, but I don't think he played baseball. Bob Niemet was the QB after him, and he was also a baseball player.

Some BG fan I am (to my own credit - that was when my first son was born. Nothing else in the world really mattered for a couple years)

I want to say that it was Niemet's car...license plate was bgqb12 or something like that
