They beat a top 20 OSU team 63-7 I believe and dropped from 1 to 2 in the polls that week when NEbraska beat an overrated Colorado team. think about that...a ranked OSU team gets beat by over 50 by the number 1 team and the team dropped in the rankings. To say they didn't "sniff" a national championshipe since joining the big 10 is once again patently false and not truthful. Look back at the 1994 season. It's on the internets. Their only loss in 2005 was a clock malfunction at Michigan.

They have been nowhere near as good as OSU since they joined the big 10...but again your statements are filled with falsehoods.

I'm not saying that PSU deserved the National Title that year, but it's a crime that PSU and Nebraska at least didn't get to settle it out on the field. As much as people rip the BCS (me being one of them), I think it was created because of situations like this.

Would you say it was created more for Michigan's '97 season? Avery, I love it when you elaborate in white, so please don't deprive me lol.

Cut him some slack, he's got Charlie Batch in his corner...:rolleyes:

Kid has skills out the wazoo, hopefully he can translate them to the college level. Tressel should be "mother henning" the crap out of him, thus keeping his head on semi-straight.

I guess we'll see what we'll see then, won't we?

The ULTIMATE bump !!

'Pants' was as off on this one as he was spot on with the election stuff.

I really really like this kid, even if he did go to the enemy at Ohio State! Would love to see him in Eagles green next year, but I think he had TOO good of a year, thus demanding too much coin when he hits the open market.

Good for him.

and an even BIGGER development was that Pants and GBBob were actually friendly with each other at one point before the politics :eek::D

Granted I'm surprised he's still in the NFL but I also realize that he made one of those rare decisions to put pride aside and play another position.

And again it's a tall order to call his season a success when he plays his home games amongst hundreds of fans with half of them wearing those shameful paper bags over their heads.
