THE 2008 Big Ten Champs.....

[It's the Journey...]

Tell me you are joking????? OSU = OREGON State University, or if you don't like that option then there is always OKLAHOMA State University, and finally there is Ohio State University. I hope I am stating the obvious here...

[quote="cbjhack"]..They played well down the stretch after the Penn State game, unlike years past where they struggled in games, and also put butts in the seats.

And also put butts in the seats? Last check, I've never seen a problem with attendance at Beaver Stadium or at Bowl Games. And, we've beaten an SEC team in a bowl game within the last 2 years .

[San Fran Falcon]

I am happy they won. I have been pulling for them all season.

The Big Ten has a steep drop off right now after OSU and PSU.

Can't stand PSU.

As I cannot stand OSU. So, we're even.

[San Fran Falcon]

I always hated the "Co" title attached to supposed champions. PSU and OSU had identical conference records. PSU won their game straight up, they're the champions.

Thank you Drew. Agreed.

and then they lost to Iowa so what is your point? They are co-champs. They go to the Rose Bowl to get killed by USC. Congrats. I will take the Capital One Bowl and destroy Georgia.

So, tek, what are you saying? You'd rather play a Georgia team (lesser opponent) and FINALLY win a bowl game (to a lesser opponent)? Don't tell me you don't want to be in the Rose Bowl. And, whomever PSU plays, it will be an actual game worth watching, win or lose for PSU. Will PSU actually get "killed" by USC? Do tell, lord knows OSU has experience with it. How bad will PSU lose, and how should PSU go about it? Can "Tres" give JoePa some pointers on how to lose big?
Sounds like you're settling son. Capital One Bowl...I'm sure that's what all in Buckeye Nation were hoping for when this season began.

[San Fran Falcon]

My "point" is that the Rose Bowl is reserved for the Big 10 champion. It doesn't matter if you're in the Big 10 or C-USA: if you are not designated the champion through either a bowl game or conference championship game, you're not a champion.

Once again, thank you Drew.

Really? Then why do they both get a trophy and rings? Obviously only one team can go to the Rose Bowl, but there are two champions, those are the rules, that's the reality.

Reality is that every kid on that OSU team knows it's tainted. And, let's take a survey. I would be willing to bet that if you asked people, straight-up, who the best team in the Big Ten is...I'd like to see the poll results.

The last place team in tee-ball gets trophies too.

Drew...thank you once again!

The last place team in tee-ball gets trophies too.

Not ones that say "Big Ten Champions". Gripe all you want but the history books will forever say Ohio State and Penn State were 2008 Big Ten Co-Champs.

We? I hope you went to PSU. Luckily for Penn State they get those third or fourth place SEC teams and haven't had to play the SEC champion.

+1. Another embarassing loss like OSU annually suffers would just serve to further tarnish the rep of the Big Whatever. And yes, OSU is the Co-Champ and I doubt that any of the players feel they didn't earn that. All the same there's probably some OSU players who are pretty happy they don't have to play in the Rose Bowl.

Actually what I am saying is that because of the dumb bowl game tie breaking rule (team who loses to unranked oponent should not be allowed in the BCS, OSU has not lost to unranked oponent) they get to go and get destroyed by USC.

Given the situation as stated above, I will take Georgia and destroy them. Might as well accomplish one thing and beat an SEC team so those f^&*$ers will shut up. The SEC team that everyone picked to be in the national title game no less.

Are you serious? I knew who he was talking about and flipped it because Ohio State is better than Oregon State...ask Penn State about it. No one wants to see that rematch. PSU only beat them by 50 last time

[San Fran Falcon]

ahh...screw it. Things pale in comparison to family and friends. Hence, I hope everyone has a Happy Thanksgiving
