Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire OSU vs LSU!

Yeah, I have had a some fun at tOSU expense but if asked honestly I'd say that you guys took it in the shorts this season.

Not through anyone's fault, and certainly not your own. It just worked out that way. Michigan and Wisconsin woefully underperformed in testing you. This was to be the year you guys prepared for another run not the one where you went into it.

And tbh, you shouldn't have been there. But everyone else kept falling down and it thrust tOSU right back into the pressure cooker. WVU and Missouri and Texas and Oklahoma and USC and Oregon and everyone else within shotgun range of a title shot just plain fell down... and left you holding the bag. If any of those other guys got there they'd have got the same thing you did.

But they probably wouldn't be the butt of jokes for another year.

A usually strong Washington? Are you kidding me. The season schedules the Big 10 played this year was pathetically weak, and it didn't get any stronger with the conference schedules. The whole Big 10 didn't play anyone in the top 5 this year until the end. As a matter of fact, they didn't play anyone in the top 20. You and Mr. Penguin are killing us with this "tough scheduale" stuff.

Oh yeah, by the way 257_Roy, how do you like your Crow?

You're out of line.

I haven't mentioned schedule strength one time. You are either intentionally mischaracterizing it or you haven't read one thing I've said.

You've mentioned several times in the last few days in your posts about the Big 10 playing the toughest schedules (search and look it up). I've asked you twice if you mean bowl schedule or season schedule and you haven't answered. So which one is it? The Big 10 plays a tough bowl schedule and gets it handed to them, plays a weak season schedule and wins. Not too hard to figure.

I had it prepared

different ways, for your information!

Well, just what in the hell did you think I was talking about when I stated the obvious?

I said the Big Ten played:

1) SEC champs, runner up, and 4th place team
2) PAC-10 champ
3) ACC runner up

Did you think it was a big coincidence and that they ALSO played these exact same teams in the bowl games?

I figured that if you were reading my posts you would have known I was talking about the bowl lineup.

Just answer the question and don't ignore it. If I stated something as stupid as that I"d be pissed too.

From yesterday:





Now are you telling me you read those posts and still didn't know what I meant?

No, you were looking to pile on.

JGRaider=SEC Moonbat

Penguin= CFB realist

257 Roy= Upset for another year

257 = too drunk to remember much of the title game.....have another beer, fella.

JG,

I already posted it all regarding schedule in another thread. The final tally was:

Big 10 played 30 games against Top 25 teams, and went 11-19.

SEC played 64 games against Top 25 teams and won 30 of them.

The SEC won as many games against ranked teams as the Big 10 played and that with only 1 more team. Our winnin percentage was 10% better too. The shame of it is...tOSU is a very talented football team, and Tressel a great coach...but when you're constantly playing patsies all year long you get soft. They play teams that know they have no chance to win and lay down after one quarter. The worst SEC teams...because of the attitude about football here...the worst teams go in to games with the mentality of at least making the other team earn the win, and paying for it dearly in blood sweat and tears. You cannot take a single SEC game for granted because the worst teams on a good day can beat the best team on a bad day. All things being equal...they can at least hurt you. And then there's the games between powers. Auburn vs LSU 2006 was one of the most punishing games I can ever recall. Auburn won 7-3 and wasn't physically right for 3 weeks after. You can't be prepared to play a team like LSU when you've not faced anything even remotely like them all season even if you have great talent and coaching. tOSU took a 10 point early lead...but mentally they weren't prepared to defend that lead.

THIS is smashmouth SEC Football!

Not hardly, Bub.

I did have a few drinks, and I'm not much of a drinker anymore. But, I was barely drunk, let alone too drunk to remember. As a point of reference, I got out of bed at 4:30 the next morning and felt fine other than being a little tired.

Had to bring this back up to see if I am correct. My (ever-weaker) memory tells me that it was the last what we used to call major college (D-I?) team that was all-white. Can anyone verify the truth of that?

Penguin, all most all SEC games this year LSU used a zone defense to cover the fasrer SEC recievers, but agaisnt OSU, LSU locked thier corners up man to man on OSU's recievers and OSU couldn't out run LSU to get open. The man to man coverage allowed LSU to pin their ears back and blitz at will... This shut the OSU offense down.. ON 3rd and goal at the one Wells was droped at the 5 by his own offensive linemand that was knocked in the back field... LSU is both rough, tuff and fast...

280, did you notice LSU played and beat five of the AP Top 15 teams. And USC didn't play any of them? What a joke they are.....sorry, Brent.

A good friend sent this to me earlier today ... don't know if any of you have seen it yet ... but I like it a lot ... (grin)




ps. I did have a good time meeting and having a drink or two with some tOSU fans ... it's all in good fun, right?...

oh mercy, that's a rough visual joke.
(snork)

Does anyone legitimately think that if OSU played in the SEC they would be anymore than an average SEC team? I think several of this years SEC teams would beat OSU most of the time.....and essentially any SEC team could beat them on a given weekend. That's what makes the SEC so tough.
