University of Michigan class of 1990!!!! Go Blue!!!!

In all honesty this OSU team is not good enough to be undefeated. UofM will end up spoiling another Ohio State season and that will fuel the rivalry even more. Someone post the line and over unders please.

I don't even know where to get odds or over unders these days. I dont' get the paper at home either.

GO BLUE!!!

After a long wait, two Ohio State graduates finally get jobs at a sawmill. It was their first day on the job. Suddenly one screams "OOUUUCCHHHH!!! I lost my finger!" The other glances over, "Oh yeah, how did you do that?" "Well, I was just trying to touch this big spinning wheel like this... Damn! There goes another one!!"

What do you get when you cross an Ohio State fan with a pig? Trick question, there are some things a pig just wont do.

Why do Ohio State graduates hang their diplomas from their rear view mirror? To justify their handicap parking.

A Michigan student and an Ohio State student are both using the men's room. When they finish their business, the Michigan student heads for the door, while the Ohio State student heads for the sink. The Ohio dude calls to the Wolverine, "At Ohio State, they teach us to wash our hands after going to the bathroom." The Michigan guy replies, "At Michigan, they teach us not to pee on our hands."

What do an Ohio State student and a Michigan student have in common? They both got accepted at Ohio State.

An Ohio State grad sees an ad for a $99 cruise. So he goes down to the travel agent and hands over the cash. The travel agent hits him over the head with a bat, stuffs him in a sack, throws him out the back window onto a raft and cuts the raft loose. The Ohio State grad wakes up to find himself adrift, along with another Ohio State grad. The first grad says, "I hope they serve dinner on this cruise." The second replies, "They didn't last year."

Michigan student and an Ohio State student are walking down the road when the Michigan student says, "How sad...A dead bird." The Ohio State student looks up and says, "Where, where?"

Einstein said, "great, we can talk about nuclear fission". then he asked this girl and she said,"110" and he said "great, we can talk about the angle of the worlds axis." and finally he went up to this guy and the guy said,"51" and Einstein said, "how bout them Buckeyes!"

An Michigan and a Ohio State fan were driving in opposite directions one dark stormy night and the had a collision in the middle of the road. Both of them survived and were happy to so. To celebrate the Michigan fan said to the buckeye fan "lets have a drink" and he pulled a bottle of Jack from the trunk of his car. The Michigan fan poured the to a drink and said "lets put our differences behind us" The Buckeye fan drank up and said "go ahead my friend" and the Michigan fan said "no thanks ill wait until the cops arrive

Why don't they teach Sex-Ed at OSU?
They don't want the mule to get too tired!

Two OSU Students were going to Starkville to beat up a guy named Clarence because he had stolen one of their girlfriends. The two guys come to a bridge that has a big sign on it which reads "Clearance 8 feet 10 inches". When they saw this the turned around and floored it all the way back to Columbus.

A UofM student was driving a pick-up truck with two Ohio State students in the back. The truck suddenly skids out of control and into a lake. The UofM student breaks the window and swims to the surface. About twenty minutes later, the two State students come to the surface. The UofM student says "What have you been doing?" The one of the OSU guys says "Well we had some trouble getting the tail gate open".

Why don't you see many Pharmacist from OSU?
They can't figure out how to put the medecine bottles in the printer!

An OSU graduate was in a waiting room at a hospital, waiting for his wife to give birth. The doctor came out and informed the man that he could come see his wife and his new twins. The man walked in the room and five minutes later came running out screaming that he was gonna' kill somebody. The doctor walked in the room and asked the women what all the fuss was about. The women said he was going to find and kill the father of the other kid.

One Saturday afternoon during the football season, a man walked into a sports bar in Columbus with his dog. "Wait a second, dogs aren't allowed in here!" the bartender exclaimed. But the man insisted that his dog was a Buckeyes dog and that he just wanted to watch the game. After much argument, the bartender allowed the man to let the dog in the bar, but only if he behaved. So the man sat down with his dog and had a beer as they watched the game. By and by the Buckeyes get into field goal range and they kick a field goal. The dog goes crazy: He jumps all around, slapping people high five, cheering, and barking the Ohio State fight song. The bartender says, "Hey, that's really great! What does he do when they get a touchdown?" To which the man replies, "I don't know, I've only had him for three years."

Why don't they put ice in drinks up at OSU?
The guy with the recipe graduated.

How can you tell when a OSU student is a married man?
There will be chawing tobacco juice running down both doors of his pickup!

A Buckeye walks into this bar and asked for 20 shots of the best whiskey lined up in a row. The bartender poured all 20 shots. The Buckeye downed all 20 ... one right after the other. The bartender said, "I've never seen anybody drink like that." The Buckeye said, "You'd drink like that if you had what I have." The bartender said, "What do you have?" "Fifty cents." said the Buckeye.

An Ohio State fan, a Michigan fan, and a Nebraska fan were walking along the beach, when they came across a magic genie. The magic genie said he would grant them each one wish. The Nebraska fan said that his father was a farmer, he was a farmer, and his son would farm, so he wished that the land would be forever fertile in Nebraska. The genie promptly granted his wish. The Ohio State fan was impressed with this, and then wished for a wall to completely surround the state of Ohio so that no Wolverine fan could ever get inside. The Genie granted his wish. Then, the Michigan fan said, "Tell me more about this wall." the genie answered "It is 150 ft high, and 50 ft wide, and nothing can get in or out of it." So the Michigan fan replied, "Fill it up with water!"

An old farmer wants his son to go to Michigan State, but the son's IQ is too high. Since the farmer really wants his son to be an Spartan he takes him to the MSU Vet School and asks to use an IQ-reducing machine. Although the machine is experimental and not meant for humans, they decide the risk acceptable. They strap the son into the machine and turn it on. His IQ starts dropping. 130...110...100...90...80...70...60... When the scientist flips the OFF switch, nothing happens. The son's IQ keeps dropping. 40...30...10..0!!!!. The scientist finally pulls the plug and stops the machine. The farmer runs to his son and shakes him awake, "Son, say something!" Dazed, the son looks him right in the eye and says, "Go Bucks!"

A: Yeah, they're 10-point favorites.

What is the difference between a cactus and OSU stadium? A cactus has 100,000 pricks on the outside.

A Columbus area mortician had a new apprentice who was learning the embalming ropes. He walked into the embalming room where a cadaver was lying on the table. Thinking he knew enough now to begin the procedure without his boss, he began examining the body. He rolled it over and to his amazement there was a cork in its rear end. Mystified, he pulled it out, and immediately heard, the Ohio State Buckeyes fight song come out the guys butt.

Startled by what had happened, he shoved the cork back into the cadaver and ran up the stairs to find his mentor. "Sir, you've got to come down and help me, I've just seen something I can't believe."
Annoyed by the naivete of his assistant, he said OK and followed him downstairs. "There, look at the cork in the rear end of that body, I couldn't imagine what it was doing there so I pulled it out. Please you do it."
The mortician was a bit surprised to see the cork, too, so he walked to the table and removed the cork. Then the OSU fight song started playing. Exasperated, he replaced the cork in its appointed position, turned to his assistant and said: "What's so surprising about that. I've heard thousands of butt-holes sing that song."

An OSU football player was nearly killed in a horrible horseback riding accident. He was thrown off the horse and almost got trampled. Thank God the K-Mart manager came out and unplugged it.

Q: How do you get to Columbus from Ann Arbor?
A: Go south until you smell ****, then east until you step in it.

Q: If 3 OSU players are in a car, then who is driving?
A: A police officer.

Q: What is the only sign of intelligent life in Columbus?
A: The freeway sign that says "Ann Arbor, 192 miles".

Ohio State -4

http://www.usatoday.com/sports/gaming/odds/index.htm

Go Big Blue. You read it here first - IOWA will be the undisputed Big 10 Champs for 2002!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Both teams are barely above average. OSU has no offense to speak of without their little freshman.

Copied from a OSU message board on 11/12
 

An Open letter to the 2002 Ohio State Football Team
By Tom Orr
Dear Buckeyes,

You are all alone.

Nobody believes in you.

Sure, the team is 11-0 this season, and yes, that includes a convincing win over the number three team in the Bowl Championship Series. But that really doesn't matter at all.

You're not the best team in your own conference, let alone the country. Heck, you haven't even been the best team on the FIELD on a couple Saturdays this fall. You certainly don't deserve to be the number one team in the BCS.

Don't believe me? Just look at the evidence.

From ESPN.com: "It's just my fundamental belief they are the second best team in the Big Ten. I'm not an anti-Ohio St. guy. If I had to bet my farm in Iowa on OSU v. Miami or OU, I wouldn't pick Ohio St. I think Iowa, Miami and OU would all beat OSU."

From USA Today: "I'm not convinced Ohio State, even though No. 1 in the BCS, is the second-best team in the nation right now. Miami and Washington State are the hottest teams in the country this week."

Mark May of ESPN said you guys wouldn't beat any of the other top five teams in college football.

How about collegefootballnews.com: "Has anyone else seen the Ohio State offense over the last few weeks and gotten a wee bit nervous at the thought of a potential screaming dud of a national championship game?"

Fortunately, it's not going to come to that. You are doomed to lose at least one of your next two games, and very deservedly miss out on your chance to sully the national championship game.

More from USA Today: "I can almost sense one of those crushing Ohio State losses coming against Michigan. It's in the cards."

Lee Corso of College Gameday has already stated that Michigan WILL beat the Buckeyes.

From CBS Sportsline: "Your team is 10-0. You know what that means. Or maybe you don't. Or maybe, if you're familiar with Columbus in November, you don't want to be reminded what it means.... History would suggest that a crushing upset is somewhere in the program's very near future. Ten times Ohio State has started 8-0 since 1968. Ten times it has failed to keep its eyes on the prize."

ESPN even thinks you deserved to lose last weekend. "Purdue played their typical game, they outplayed them but kind of gave the game away with interceptions and some sloppy play."

Frankly, the guys in Bristol, CT. think you're just lucky that you get to duck mighty Iowa. That game would look like a poodle against a steamroller. "After what Iowa did to Northwestern in a 62-10 rout, there is no doubt the Hawkeyes are the best team in the Big Ten."

Think those media outlets are the only ones who think you're nothing more than a fluke, a joke, an overrated result of some lucky bounces and easy scheduling? At least one, maybe two coaches voted you below teams with a loss in last week's ESPN/USA Today poll.

And as many as five media voters did the same. Odds are, at least a few of those even have you lower than Washington State. Yeah, that Washington State.

But that's okay. I mean, you're lucky they even change the channel off of Miami's season-long coronation for enough time to remember who you are.

Being one of only two unbeaten Division 1-A teams means absolutely nothing. Everyone knows you don't deserve to be where you are. From ESPN "Despite last weekend's loss, I would still take Oklahoma against Washington State, Ohio State and Iowa."

In their rankings this week, ESPN comments "2. Ohio State -- Strictly because of the undefeated record."

Even your fans don't believe in you. From the message board of this very site on Saturday afternoon:
* Krenzel blows
* Krenzel can't hit the wide side of a barn! He's horrible!
* Krenzel can't get it done
* This game is over
* Krenzel doesn't get rid of the ball again. He's pathetic!
* I HATE KRENZEL!!! GOD.... HE NEEDS TO STEP UP AND BE A LEADER!!!
* No confidence in the O
* TRESSEL. What a coach. Reminds me of Cooper a little.
* I thought the strength coach was so good, I guess moving tractor tires around doesn't hack it
* Send Tressel back to YSU and hire Urban Meyer
* Get a new Freakin Offensive Coordinator, or fire Tressel if he won't
* The fat lady is starting to sing!
* I guess Miami was right. We DON'T belong near the top
* It ain't gonna happen today

And if you think I had to wade through thousands of posts over a month-long span to mine those nuggets, you'd be wrong. Those were all TITLES of posts in a seven-minute span immediately preceding the game-winning touchdown pass.

Face it guys, you're going this one alone.

Now, it would be very easy to buy into all this talk and simply go through the motions this weekend against Illinois.

Then, even if you lose, you haven't really under-achieved.

That would just mean you stopped getting all the lucky bounces and bad calls that have made your undeserving 11-0 run possible. And there's no great shame in finishing the year 11-3.

The other choice, of course, is to take the field with a genuine sense of purpose.

To show the world what this team is made of.

To show everyone in the college football universe what it means to be an Ohio State Buckeye.

It's time to put together eight perfect quarters of football in the next two weeks, then string together another perfect 60 minutes in Tempe.

So screw everyone else-ESPN, USA Today and all the bandwagon jumpers who lost faith in you.

It's time for something much more important than them.

It's time to become immortals. It's time to win a national title.

With that said, it's time for some team up north bashing.

The Cooper era is over. Losing to Michigan every year is in the past with him. Tressel won last year and will win this year.

LET'S GO BUCKS!!!

Without a doubt Iowa is the best team in the Big 10,maybe in the country.Ohio State has been very lucky this year,their only tough opponent was Wash St,and if they played right now Wash St would beat them.The offense sputters the defense is tough,I look for Michigan in a spoiler Mich 20- Osu 10. What a sports reporter

GO BROWNS !

Burnsmazz-
That's what they all have been saying all year long!
It's like a broken record hearing it week after week.
Oh well, I hope you're wrong like the reporters have been week after week.

Wouldn't you rather see OSU with a national title rather than another Florida team????

Looks like Tressel's very touching letter was barely enough to shut down the powerhouse of Illinois.

Burnsmazz- You don't consider San Jose State and Cincy to be top national title contenders?

Flyin- Good point about the Florida teams, but you're asking us if we'd want to see OSU win a national title????

Mighty Mighty Michigan Rolls Through Columbus - Go Blue!!!!!!!!!!

I just got this e-mail from a Buckeye.
 

As a Buckeye, I want to apologize for the OSU football program.

After listening to many at ESPN, and a number of national sports talk radio show hosts over the weekend, I want to apologize for the Buckeyes being 12-and-0.

I also want to apologize for the program beating six of the top 25 best offenses so far this season. After listening to all of these guys, I won't name names (you know who they are), I now realize that OSU's schedule must not have been very good.

Someone within the program should say they are sorry for beating Texas Tech and the fourth ranked offense in the country. And of course Tech has put up those numbers against some weak teams, including Texas and Texas A-&-M. OSU was only
leading 38-7 after three quarters and Tech's lone TD while the game was still a contest came on a great play their QB made on 4th and 2.

Apologies go out to WSU and Jason Gesser. OSU didn't realize you were going to finish the season as the Pac-10 champion. If the Buckeyes had realized what the rest of the nation is saying about them, which is they suck, they would have just rolled over for Gesser and the 11th ranked offense in the country. Shame on the Buckeyes for giving them that 25-7 beating. I know the Bucks are sorry.

OSU owes apologies to Purdue's 10th ranked offense, which they mistakenly held to 6 points and no touchdowns. Ditto to Illinois' 9th ranked offense, which put up an eye popping 16 points in
four-plus quarters.

Hey PSU and the 15th rated offense, OSU is sorry for getting lucky and beating you. The Buckeyes now know that Larry Johnson is the best back in the nation, which I actually believe, they didn't mean to hold him to 66 yards. Tell him they're sorry and didn't mean to interrupt his streak of setting Penn St. rushing records. That happened before the Bucks realized they suck.

According to the latest stats after this weekend's games, Ohio State has defeated the 4th (Texas Tech held to 21 points, at least 7 of which came late in the 4th Quarter against OSU's 3rd string D), 9th (Purdue held to 6 points), 10th (Illinois, held to 16 points), 11th (Washington State, held to 7 points), 15th (Penn St., held to 7 points), 23rd (UC, held to 19 points), & 46th (Minnesota, 3 points) rated offenses.

The Bucks now know all of this. If they are lucky enough to beat a
dominating 9-and-2 team, which has won four games by three points, OSU will turn down the invitation to the game out in the desert. After listening to all of the "experts" over the last week OSU has realized it can't play football. Thanks for clearing this
misunderstanding for them. Please strike the Buckeyes from the polls.
Don't let the fact that the Buckeyes have faced three Heisman Trophy candidates --
Larry Johnson, Jason Gesser and Kliff Kingsbury, dominating all three -- stand in your way.

I mean, clearly, we're not even the best team in the Big Ten correct?
Iowa has played a tougher schedule correct? Their non-conference schedule included Akron, Miami (OH), Iowa State, & Utah State. Oh wait, no that can't be true because Ohio State played Texas Tech (Potential Big 12 champion), Washington State (probable PAC-10 Champion), Kent St. and UC. Just last week "experts" were claiming Texas could beat OSU head to
head, could they not even beat Texas Tech?

IF, we are lucky enough to overcome the "Michigan" stigma and produce a victory this Saturday.....please continue to doubt us all the way to Arizona with a healthy Maurice Clarett.

In closing, does anyone know what Illinois, Purdue, PSU and Minnesota all have in common? Answer: They all were leading the conference in offense the week before OSU played them.

Brain,
You da' man. I love reading your responses. You say exactly what needs to be said.

I can't wait to come back to this site Sunday morning (I say Sunday... I'll be hammered because of the BUCKEYE WIN) and see all the BUCKEYE BASHING WILL HAVE STOPPED!

Everybody hates a winner when there team is not getting any respect or something else is favoring another team because something isn't fair! We'll see on Saturday.

By the way all you Michigan fans...if you win, enjoy a trip to the ALAMO BOWL which is a weaker bowl played before the holiday weekend. If you lose enjoy a trip the CITRUS/CAPITAL ONE BOWL which is better and is played on the Holdiday weekend!

So, if you win, worse bowl game. If you lose, better bowl game? So you'll probably be crying regardless! Sometimes, life is just not fair!

Re: I just got this e-mail from a Buckeye.
 

Why can't everyone else stick to the facts? Sometimes the truth hurts!

Flyin- You're completely right that OSU has a very solid defense. They have definitely held back the offense of some of the Big 10 teams. Good response...it's gonna be a great game. The pictures you posted were pretty funny...I even forwarded to some of the buck's in my office.

I would love to take full credit for that post, but it was mostly an e-mail I recieved this morning from a good friend that is obsessed with the Buckeyes.
It should be one hell of a game on Saturday, it always is.

envy
 

Man Ohio States not even U of M's biggest Rival. They hate MSU twice as much as Ohio State.

Re: envy
 

That is a true statement.

My father-in-law eats, sleeps, bleeds maize and blue. He cares about Ohio State about as much as he cares about Penn State. He despises MSU though!

I'm with you voodoo. GO HAWKS!! Michigan by 10!!

Re: envy
 

That's how I used to feel until I moved to Cleveland. I'm a little too surrounded by Buck territory now, and find myself talking much more trash against OSU than against the Sparties. Needless to say the Umich stickers on my car haven't gone over too well...less than 2 days after I put on an alumni sticker, some a-hole raked his keys down the entire side. Things like that definitely get me fired up against OSU.

Cleveland isn't all that bad.
Drive another 30 minutes south on I-71, you will notice the change. Obviously, the further you go, the worse it gets.
Go to southern Ohio and all they care about is Marshall, UK, or WVU.
In Cleveland it seems that people would rather hear about the Browns.
In Columbus, all they care about is Buckeye sports. Buckeye football and basketball are everything. Our NHL hockey team is a weak third and floundering around in fourth, is the Major League Soccer team.
It's ridiculous around here.
I swear, if we got a MLB of NFL team, they wouldn't last. Buckeye football comes before anything.

Keep'em coming Brian. By the way, where ever you move too, stay in touch through the board...give me a little something to look forward too when I know you are posting!:D

Hey, I'll say it again:

Go Blue

:D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D

As a Big M alumni I must as always concur with the OSU bashing and pronounce OPEN SEASON on the F***eyes!

Yourrrr gonna lose, youuuur gonna lose, yoooour gonna loose...

Let's face it, historically whichever one is charging towards the championship undefeated the other wins. Is OSU good enough to beat Miami if they can stay undefeated?......But who cares after Michigan....

GO BROWNS !:p :D

Damn, that didn't work.

Q. How do you keep a Michigan football player from beating off?

A. Paint his or her joy toy Scarlet and Grey, they'll never beat that.

I don't care who wins, as long as it is not Ohio State. I hate Ohio State.......Funny I haven't heard much in those e-mails about how UC Sophomre QB Gino Guiduglio picked apart the OSU D like a fat man at an all you can eat fried balogna sandwich buffet. And the fact UC smacked them around all day long and DROPPED two passes in the endzone for the win with under 30 seconds to play. I'm not beating my chest about UC, not at all, they are not very good. But what I am yelling about is the arrogant OSU crap that does not stop 12 months out of the year. Why won't OSU schedule UC in Hoops??? Anyone.....anyone...??? I think we all know why. I doubt UC will be scheduled for football anytime soon as well. I'm no Michigan fan, but on this weekend they are the team to cheer. :D :D :D Hoops season starts Sat night at the Shoe.....Go Cats.......may be a bit of a rebuilding year, but next year.......yyeeeahhh bbaaabbyyyy!!!!! Still look for 23-25 wins, not that you all care ;)

By the way, I admire the hell out of this rivalry no matter who wins. Games like this is what makes college sports so neat....

I agree with ya Allan. I wish Ohio State did play UC in basketball! I've said that since we've been playing you in football lately. What's fair is fair...right? Hey I think its promotes a great rivalry between schools. Although I don't think it will come anything close the the "Cross Town Rivalry":D

Good one. Never heard that one before!

Dude, don't know if you've been here in Columbus to watch a game or not, but I have been to "your house" to watch a game. I know this, there were several old ladies from Michigan that did not conduct themselves like ladies at all:eek: Also, during the entire game, I'll admit, I was a little concern and nervous if I was going to have to defend myself phusically if Ohio State won:eek: Having said that, it does go both ways I'm sure. Fun is one thing, but I'm serious, those fans got carried away I was around while watching the game. Didn't enjoy it all and I could care less if I go back again.

Have you been here to take the game in personally:confused:

GO OSU!
