Callin people liars for missing out on expectations? Cmon! Does that mean that those in the pickem contests who struggle to pick correctly 50% of the time are liars?
EVERY school has fans who have unrealistic expectations as to the talent level returning. The media and talking heads are the real liars if that is the right word. Two years in a row they put OSU in the title game and then called them overrated when they got beat. Maybe the talking heads are the ones overrated!
As a coach friend of mine has been heard to say, "The good news is we have everybody back. The bad news is we have everybody back." Why dont you spend as much of your lying posts praising the OSU players who could have come out early (like Vernon Gholston who has been a first round bust for the Jets thus far) but stayed in school. Almost unheard of these days. Give credit where credit is due.
Oh and by the way...what other Top Ten school has a true freshman leading them at QB?

It was unrealistic this season, IMO, to expect them to win the national championship. I said it before the season and I will say it again. I thought there was no way they would get by USC and Wisconsin. Turns out, they squeaked out Wisconsin, but lost to Penn State. This team wasnt as good as advertised and IMO, werent a top five team coming into this year. And after the loss of Beanie, they werent a top twenty team. With a healthy Beanie, they are around top 15. I dont think they are top ten.
well it is the defenses job do stop themBlindWhiteHat wrote:Andre Ware was quick during the broadcast to rip Tressel for the fake punt up 21 points. He felt OSU was running up the score by faking a punt around midfield with 8:00 or so left in the game.
Did anyone agree with Ware that OSU ran it up?
I personally felt there was nothing wrong with the fake punt and the score that followed it. I would rather have seen OSU take a knee than score that last TD in the final seconds.
