Talk about the Buckeyes the Wolverines the Hilltoppers the Ducks the Beavers the Chanticleers... or anyone else who isn't BG or an opponent in this forum.
The osu message board police are out in full force.
This is how you guys argue? Juvenile!
You know what they say, if it's too loud......
this is extremly hypocritical..if OSU would have played BG and beat the piss out of BG this would have been moved to other schools and you guys would have cried and bitched and moaned for three months about it. The anti OSU police would have been out.
why dont you use some consistency. If you have an other schools forum then every topic regarding other schools as the main topic should be in that forum. If you are not going to follow your own logic then it makes you look rediculous and it hurts your credibility.
Congrats on being good in something finally. Too bad it is something that no one other than BG give a damn about. Guess that what hapens when you suck at everything else.
Maybe you can throw a gymnastics party next!!
You are an ass....here's why
1.) There is no way a rational human being would believe that this statement is true: "if OSU would have played BG and beat the piss out of BG this would have been moved to other schools." See the OSU-BG football game posts for details.
2.) It's "ridiculous." Derived from ridicule...you should really look that particular word up after reading this.
3.) I could go on, but I will say one last thing:
LET THE MODERATORS MODERATE!!!
Who do you think you are? Again, this little Ohio State pissing match you keep bringing up is old. Your ego and sense of self-importance is unbelievable. I honestly think you should be banned from this board. You insult BG whenever you can, you insult women's basketball on the women's basketball forum...
Go find a windmill to fight, you waste of bandwidth.

OSU scheduled us just two years ago. We got beat 89-41.

that was real big of them to schedule a team full of sophmores and freshmen. I assume they'll come knocking again this year again with 7 Freshmen and 3 sophmores....all of whom have little to no NCAA playing experience.
I stand by my feeling. If they were as good as they think they are, they would've played BG THIS year.
I do hope that Curt tries to schedule up and play the toughest OOC schedule possible next year. If he does, his youngsters will be primed and ready for conference play.

I remember reading this board before that game and the fact the team was young didn't stop people from thinking we'd contend in that game. Honestly, what does OSU have to prove? The thought that OSU is scared of BG just because they didn't go out of their way to schedule BG just makes me roll my eyes and it's embarassing to me that some BG fans actually have that attitude. I think it just perpetuates an inferiority complex if you think like that. You only want to play OSU when we've got a really good team, but when we play OSU on a year when we're not really good then OSU is just a bunch of pansies for scheduling us. Do you really think OSU should spend their time waiting to schedule teams only when they think they're going to be good? Correct me if I'm wrong but I believe OSU went on the road this year to LSU, Oklahoma and USC and also had Boston College and Kentucky come to Columbus. Yeah, I'm sure they're scared.
The Ohio State men are pretty legendary for preferring to schedule, oh, Northwest Saskatchewan Tech instead of, say, Ohio U.
Here's what the Ohio State women have done:
2006-07: Did not schedule an Ohio opponent.
2005-06: Beat Dayton 73-31 in Columbus.
2004-05: Beat Bowling Green 89-41 in Columbus; beat Ohio 107-37 in Athens; beat Dayton 75-42 in Dayton.
2003-04: Beat Ohio 83-50 in Columbus; beat Wright State 88-45 in Columbus.
2002-03: Beat Ohio 64-36 in Athens; beat Youngstown State 76-45 in Columbus
2001-02: Beat Ohio 85-60 in Columbus
2000-01: Beat Cleveland State 87-76 in Cleveland; beat Bowling Green 95-49 in Bowling Green; beat Akron 100-35 in Columbus
1999-2000: Beat Bowling Green 86-56 in Columbus; beat Cleveland State 62-61 in Columbus
Seems to me the Ohio State women could argue they are just in search of decent RPI to play, as are we (although Kent State and Toledo are absent from the above list, for whatever reason).
Do I think Bowling Green could have beaten them this season? Absolutely, I think it's possible. We outscored Indiana more in one game than the Ohio State women managed in two, and look what Marist did.
That said, do the Ohio State women have anything to prove?
No. Look at that list.
The scheduling habits of the Ohio State men are tougher to defend, considering the well-known Big East and Atlantic 10 programs a short bus ride away.

Are there's your answer to that when I asked him on a different post

ESPN disagrees with you
of course they do, they are the ones televising the womens tournament. of course they are going to promote for their own. if it was on CBS like the men's tournament they would barely even mention the womens tourney

look at some of the comments you people make.. it is completely baseless. comments such as OSU is afraid of BG? since when? OSU has always throttled BG when they do play, BG has a good year and OSU does not play them then all of a sudden they are scared? Do you know for a fact if BG attempted to schedule OSU? it takes an attempt from both schools.
I come on here and F%^& with you guys for this reason. I give you Sh^% because of your stupid comments. they are for lack of a better word RETARDED. I give you retarded comments back and then laugh at you when you tell me how retarded I am when in fact you guys do the exact same things.
i love to laugh so I come here to laugh at your sorry @sses haha.

The men have had some tough games the last few years, maybe not within Ohio so much but they have played Virginia Tech, NC, Florida, Tennessee, Cincy, and Duke is comming up next year I believe?
It may not be great since those were over the last two years but it is getting better and I think Matta will keep on influencing the schedule and get better teams in here to play. OSU is # 1 in mens bball and they haven't even sold out the allotment for tix this weekend for the sweet 16 elite 8 rounds. Tennessee sold out in like an hour. Matta will try to get better teams to play to generate more interest in the program. things are changing for the better. They don't have randy Ayers or O'Brien anymore.
OSU football schedule didnt start getting great until they got a great coach in Tressell. Matta will do the same for BBALL

Amusing, maybe, like a little puppy that nips around at your ankles, but not fascinating. Every board has one so he's not even rare. Plus, he does wear BG attire around the house and obviously does care about the Falcons in spite of his protestations. Oh and I've seen no proof that he's human...

you've obviously got a LOT to learn when it comes to the scheduling habits of shools in the 7 major conferences.
There is nothing impressive about BCS schools scheduling other BCS schools. Losses against those schools mean very little because there is almost zero impact on RPI or SOS. On the other hand, if they play a mid-major, it is a MUST win or else the RPI goes straight to hell. Therefore, by avoiding BG's reguest for a game the past 2 seasons, it absolutely was because the were scared that they could lose. You will never see OSU play an above average mid-major unless it is in the NCAA tournament where they have no choice or unless they are in the bottom 1/3 of the conference and can't get other OOC big schools to schedule them. At that oint, they get a dose of their own edicine and come crawling to the mid majors looking for games. See Indiana University for an example of that.
My point...and this applies to every single BCS school...not just OSU....is that if you are really that good, and you are deserving of your rankings, then you should be willing to play any team in any season. That will never happen in my lifetime.

You've obviously got a lot to learn as well since you seem to think OSU needs to serve schools like BG. OSU has nothing to gain by playing BG, but that's what most fail to realize because they can only look at things from a mid-major perspective. You proved my point by bringing up RPI. Why would OSU say to themselves let's go out and find some tough mid-major teams and schedule them. If they win it doesn't matter and it won't help them get a better seed in the NCAA's and it won't prepare them for the tournament like going on the road to a hostile envirnment like playing at Oklahoma. Then on the off chance they lose, it hurts their RPI, it goes down as a bad loss on their resume and could knock them down a seed or two in the NCAA's. So in the end you're complaining that OSU is scared of BG because you think OSU and BCS schools have an obligation to serve them when there is absolutely no benefit for themselves. They're not scared, it just doesn't make any sense on their part. If you own a business are you going to do something that's going to help a competitor's business that's of no gain to your own?
Basically it all comes down to jealousy in my opinion. The faction of mid-major fans that complain about this would love to be in the position of schools like OSU and are upset they can't dictate their schedule like BCS schools can. I think we need to just be happy with what our school is instead of griping about what it isn't and just let it go.
