I love the part about the fire extinguishers.....
Ok, in OSU's defense......Texas and this year's USC game were close and yes we did blow it, but they were close good games.
OSU vs Florida....we were very deserving to be in that national championship, but Florida was a better team than we expected and we didn't show up for that one...we deserved the buttkicking we got for being cocky.
OSU vs LSU - I will be the first one to admit our team should not have been in the national championship.....top 10 team, sure, 1 or 2? Heck no....if it wasn't for 5 or 6 late in the year losses by other good teams, we wouldn't have been in that game. LSU was a better team and they won. Is it our fault that the system we use is flawed?
OSU vs USC last year......USC was a great team last year....but like all good teams, you get cocky....blow out OSU and lose to OSU two weeks later (oregon state that is)
I mean really, yes, OSU HAS been overrated certain years, I will not argue that. Just because we didn't do so well with Navy doesn't mean we suck. PLENTY of national championship teams have had trouble with a "easy" team throughout their schedule. The rankings in the first few weeks don't mean squat either, as it is just people's guess as to how well a team is going to do.
It also isn't our fault that the Big 10 has gone downhill in recent years. It USED to be one of the toughest leagues. It hasn't been nearly so much lately. That is sad, but it is true. You can't blame OSU for being in a league it has been in for years. You CAN blame Jim Delaney for railroading the BCS system and refusing to vote for a tournament. But I support OSU not the Big 10 commish.....
Oh and one last note, I gladly root for any Ohio team when they aren't playing OSU. Especially Cincinnati.....go BEARCATS. 70-3 on any team is always a good thing IMO. I hope they win the Big East this year. I tire of hearing about WV......
