Carson Palmer Is No Fan of That Program
Fitting right in with OhioansKentuckyCorner.com Photo
While in LA for Matt Leinart’s charity bowling event, Bengals quarterback Carson Palmer stopped by KLAC and gave his thoughts on the Ohio State game and playing for a state that worships the Buckeyes:
I don’t watch what I say. I cannot stand the Buckeyes and having to live in Ohio and hear those people talk about their team it drives me absolutely nuts. Now we got Keith Rivers out there and we got Frostee Rucker we finally got a couple of other SC guys. It’s amazing to hear what those guys think about that university and what they think about that football program and Tressel and all the crap I gotta put up with being back there. I just can’t wait for two years from now when SC comes to the Shoe and hopefully we’ll have a home game that weekend and I can go up there and watch us pound on them in their own turf and kind of put all the talk to rest because I’m really getting sick of it and I just can’t wait for this game to get here so they can come out to the Coliseum and experience LA and get an ald-fashioned Pac-10 butt-whooppin and go back to the Big Ten.
Granted, Cincinnati has never been a Buckeye stronghold relative to the allegiances of other Ohio towns. If anything, it’s traditionally leaned to South Bend (though Tressel has had recent success in the Queen City). While Palmer won’t have to worry about too much fallout at the local level, what about all of the Buckeye fans in Central Ohio that are also fans of the Bengals? Does this impact your fanhood in any way or is this just a guy backing his school?
(Via DTI)
I’d like to see Bengals fans run him out of town.
They won’t, because he’s all they got. But they should.
This isn’t standing up for his school; this is mindlessly attacking another one. He’s not defending SC, he’s just hating on us for no reason. My Bengals fanhood was dwindling anyway; this is probably the nail in the coffin.
Okay, I need a link to the real story or where that was printed. I can’t find it anywhere. That doesn’t sound like Carson at all - he’s one of the most vanilla QB’s ever. If you have a link to the transcript or something, please let us know. This could be mere propaganda.
I’ve always considered Cincy part of Kentucky anyway. I mean really, Ohio should by all means end at Dayton.
I hear he sucks cock.
Steve, it’s real. You can listen to the entire Palmer segment on the Petros and Money show here.
Count me in the category of people who think Carson Palmer should shut his whore mouth. Cincitucky isn’t even part of Ohio and he really has nothing to complain about in that regard. It’s not like he lives in Dayton or Cleveland (though Cleveland obviously has its share of fans of other programs). Besides, isn’t he the type that lives permanently in California but has a season residence in the area where he plays? If so, it’s not like he’s hassled 365 days a year in a place where Buckeye fandom isn’t as strongly rooted.
Palmer really lost me on the “what they think about that university” comment. Ragging on the team makes me angry; ragging on the university of the American dream makes me feel, well, “stabby”.
If anyone needs me, I’ll be in my angry chamber.
I’ve heard so many rumors about Carson liking dudes I’m starting to wonder if they’re all false.
thats fine probably upset he plays on the third or fourth best team in the state well maybe fifth if you throw st.x in there.
There are a lot of fans down here that are also Buckeye fans and I guarantee some of them have aren’t going to be thrilled that he’s referred to Ohioans as “those people”.
wow. way to be rational fellas. carson is a great guy, these comments not withstanding. I dont like that he said it, but Im certainly not going to cast him off due to it. when the buckeyes win, he’ll have to eat his words.
BC,
I don’t like Palmer or the Bengals to begin with, so how would I be casting him off?
Every year when the Bengals come to Cleveland Browns Stadium, the Ohio State Marching Band plays the halftime show.
I CAN’T WAIT FOR THAT GAME NOW!!!!!!
I’m throwing away my NCAA Football ‘04 now.
Hey, thanks for the link. I thought when Carson said: “It’s amazing to hear what those guys think about that university and what they think about that football program and Tressel and all the crap I gotta put up with being back there” that he was referring to the SC guys who are constantly hating on Tressel.
But after listening to it, he was talking about what Ohio State guys say, probably because they have as much pride as any student and fan. And I can’t say I blame him. He’s not from Ohio, he says Cincinnati was somewhat of a culture shock to him, and we forget just how irritating we Buckeyes can be to others with the “THE OSU,” the “O-H,” the wearing our OSU jerseys if we know we’ve got a layover in Detroit, stuff like that. Of course we love it, but it certainly gets on everyone else’s nerves. I no longer live in Ohio, and when other people cheer for their teams, it irritates me a little bit.
I was ready to hate Carson, but after listening to him, it’s really not as caustic as it sounds in written form. He’s as psyched as we are about game, and he’s saying nothing different than if it were a former Buckeye living in L.A.
Who-Dey! And GO BUCKEYES!!! BEAT SoCal!!!
I don’t care what you believe he meant to say… fuck that douche-drinker, and fuck you, too. I mean, really. Who gives a shit about what anybody from Cincy has to say. I spent the undergrad years at Miami U and had to deal whith some friends from the rat city. Nothing special about the area, or the people. So please, before you write it off as a local thing… get fucked. It has been pointed out, Cincy is home to the most imbred of Ohioans. If you have Molatovs, and find yourself in the vicinity, throw ‘em.
Carson should be smarter and realize that many of “those people” pay his salary by watching him and buying his jerseys. You can bet I won’t be buying any of his stuff anymore. He is in Ohio now not SC, so while he can feel anyway he wants to he needs to be a bit more diplomatic and then talk trash if
SC wins, privately to teamates, not publically where he might piss off fans. He will get some boos and see some signs b/c of what he said, and if he doesn’t play well it will be worse. Maybe he’s upset b/c the Bengals have been sucking it up on the field and the Bucks get better press.
How dare Carson tell the truth about anything Ohio.
I’m a life-long Bengals fan and I won’t stop being one just because one of their players gets his USC panties in a bunch. There are lots of guys who weren’t fortunate enough to have attended OSU and they are naturally jealous of our success. It’s understandable that Palmer can’t comprehend the intensity of OSU fandom, because in L.A. the fans are so dead by comparison. There is a reason why the old L.A. Coliseum is known as “the mausoleum”.
I doubt if this type of outburst would have come from someone like Tom Brady, Ben Roethlisberger, or the Manning brothers. They’re too busy winning championships.
Let me get this right, aOSU fan- Carson Palmer:
-is Gay
-Shouldn’t play in the state of Ohio
-Should be run out of town
Because he’s sick of listening to aOSU fans (like all of you, mind you) and firmly believes that his ALMA MATER will beat the Buckeyes?
I love it. You guys make a ton of sense.
I think I’d make fun of him for that tie before these comments.
My comments aren’t directed at EW’s writers…just those making the comments.
First let me — BITE ME CARSON PALMER YOU UNGRATEFUL SOB!! Next, I hope and pray for all the Bengals Fans who are also OSU fans to boycott games, stop buying merchandise, call and complain to the front office, etc…..
This guy has a good thing going in Ohio and he now he feels comfortable enough to run his mouth?? What a douche!! I hope he loses every game this year and gets run out of town… now we need to win this year and next against USC to shut this A-hole up!
He can cheer for his team all he wants, but he has to realize where he is. Just because he’s an SC fan doesn’t mean he should be insulting ohioans and OSU. He coudl have at least been a little bit respectful and said he’s not a fan, but he can understand their intensity for OSU.
Perhaps he should have thought of that before he opened his big mouth. Yes, we are a little crazy sometimes, but if you had any sense, you wouldn’t insult your own fans. There are ways to say things and remain respectful, then there are ways to flat out insult an entire fan base, he’s just too stupid to realize it.
I was never a fan of him anyway, and I”m sure as hell not ever going to be a fan while he’s on that team. He should be run out of town, I don’t care what his views are, he shouldn’t be starting shit in Ohio where many of his fans are OSU fans as well. Jersey burning anyone?
So, the Bengals have a Buckeye hating QB and the clowns have a homophobic QB. I hate the NFL.
He should have just been positive about his school and avoided needlessly attacking somebody elses. But hey, we can always use the karma.
Get-the-fuck-over-it! Seriously…have you guys ever listened to your own fans? Granted, USC fans aren’t much different (come to think of it, no fans of any of thr top programs are any different). Has anyone ever thought that maybe what he said was a dig at his own teammates? Even if it wasn’t…GET. OVER. IT! You OSU fans weren’t the most fun to be around in NOLA last year, in case yall didn’t know. And look how that turned out for you
CARSON PALMER IS JEALOUS of aOSU???!!?!
Last time I checked, USC didn’t get their asses handed to them in the National title game two years in a row.
Not to mention, USC is located in a infinitely nicer part of the country than Columbus.
Also, USC doesn’t have mustached perverts looking at porn in public libraries.
Could someone please quote a sentence where Palmer was either insulting and/or derogatory to Ohioans? Because I missed it.
He’s sick of hearing how great you think you are, as is the rest of the country. But it seems like many of you already realize this, so please remove the stick up your collective ass and quit bitching. I lived in Cleveland for 6 years, and the worst thing about living there was the OSU fans. And to disown Cincinnati and to be proud of Cleveland…well, that’s just fucked. The only good aspects of Cleveland are its cuisine, culture, and the Indians (but not this year).
It’s funny, his initial commentary, coupled with all of your incessantly idiotic responses just make me a bigger fan of a guy who I never really cared about before. Furthermore, the fact that aOSU fans disown the city of Cincinnati is really helping me look forward to a wedding that I’m part of in the Queen City next month.
Go Bengals!
“Last time I checked, USC didn’t get their asses handed to them in the National title game two years in a row. ”
No, but they did lose to their vastly inferior arch-rival in 2006, thus robbing them of the chance to face OSU in the title game. Then they lost at home to a 40-point underdog last year, thus robbing them of another opportunity to play in the title game.
“Not to mention, USC is located in a infinitely nicer part of the country than Columbus. ”
I’ll take Columbus, thank you. I’ve been to L.A. and Orange County a few times. Nothing special there.
“Also, USC doesn’t have mustached perverts looking at porn in public libraries.”
So if some guy in a USC hat does something bad, that would make you disown them? Get real, sparky.
Thanks, fans of other programs, for stopping by and acting like, well, what you imagine Buckeye fans act like.
Please. These comments are OSU fans at their finest.
He’s right, OSU is garbage. I think everyone is tired of hearing about them.
BigTenaintshit(andbyassociationneitherisOSU), I was in NOLA for the National Championship game…..LSU had their own loser racist fans to worry about there. They weren’t all bad, but they were screaming “You ain’t so good now that that (insert N-word) Troy Smith isn’t your QB and how is he doing in the NFL anyway?”
Dave, Dave you are correct, they don’t have “Also, USC doesn’t have mustached perverts looking at porn in public libraries.” Instead they have Matt Leinart having parties in his hot tub getting girls drunk who were clearly not old enough to drink.
glad to hear carson palmer speak some true words. yes ohio state is an elite program an elite choke artist like oklahoma. if you dumbasses really want to run off a player who talks bad about ohio state(he is a usc fan for christ sake of course he doesnt like ohio state) youre more than ignorant. to those that are saying we pay this guys salary he should watch his mouth i say he pays his salary with his immense skill if you guys dont want to put up with his mouth then someone else will. Go Trojans Go Dawgs Go Palmer Fuck Ohio State
PS: Cant wait to see you choke away another big one
Peace BS all ohio state blog SEC is the fucking best and you know it
KyleUGA - You’re grammar.. it’s.. it’s amazing. You inbred fuck. I’m pretty sure Deliverance wasn’t filmed in Ohio.
Ouch- Truth hurts…
Rewind…. Ohio State looses a ton of guys and makes it back to the national championship. Florida looses key guys and falls… not only falls, but falls to Michigan in the Bowl Game need I remind you? Yeah the SEC is awesome lets see how LSU is this year after loosing a few people. While your busy sucking during your lame rebuilding process, OSU is consistently in front of the pack.
This season we win it all and no SEC team will come close to stopping the Buckeyes.
I played big ten football and i hate to say it but its not what the pac10 is. I know guys that play for SoCal, UCLA, Oregon and Oregon St.
hey im a uga fan and we are not rebuilding. I dont like florida either but i do think they are far more legit team than you. my team is stacked and if you do get the chance to play us in the national championship it will be the third straight defeat for osu in the national championship at the hands of an sec opponent. We are better at offense and defense than you next year we return a premeir runningback and quarterback and most of our o-line including the young stud sturdivant. We bring back a handful of experienced receivers head by senior massaquoi and also have a potential impactfreshman receiver in AJ Green. Oh and the defense loses only two starters. And the people replacing them have a lot of experience. lomax wynn and marcus houston will be more than ample replacements for marcus howard. we lose johnson at safety but now start 2 5 stars in cj byrd and reshad jones. we bring back 2 cornerbacks with 2 years starting experience. We are stacked at all levels of the defense. we have an insane dt combo of owens atkins and westin. oh and our linebackers are better than yours (i know youre not gonna like this statement). yes laurinaitis incredible and freeman is a decent talent but what about that other outside linebacker spot i mean terry really or a young overrated moeller. We have two potential all sec and all american hopefuls in curran and ellerbe and dent in the other spot and this g.oup has depth too. Anyways how i see it my team is better in all aspects then yours next year. Not to mention florida is better than your team too. i mean do you really think all of those top prospect secondary players florida has are not going to be leaps and bounds better in the second and third campaigns. very few corners excel in the first year but they are often dramatically better each campaign thereafter. florida struggled because their secondary struggled and that was because they freshman and sophomores. The corner squad will be good at florida next year and that is the only weakness they are projected to had so florida has a much better offense than you and you have a little better defense. Advantage Florida. you know if ohio state played more than one or two hard opponents a year they might be better prepared for a NC.
LP - Though I respect your opinion and have no room to talk since I didn’t play BIG10 or pac10 ball, but I would like to know what you are basing that opinion on? Are you talking about talent? Atmosphere? Tradition?
I miss the old days when folks acted like gentlemen, and spoke well of their opponents. The level of discourse in this country is in the sewer.
That said, Cincinnati doesn’t favor South Bend as much as it seems to favor Kentucky. And as a Steelers fan, I’m privileged to find anything Carson Palmer has to say perfectly irrelevant. Win something, then you can talk.
Nice Kyle. Could your dad beat up my dad?
How about this one…. Carson Palmer is a professional. Is that how professionals behave? Calling out Jimmy T? That guy just logged many miles promoting a book that’s proceeds go directly to an OSU library refurbishing fund just so our buddy would have a nice place to go ‘batin.
kyleuga, are you retarded? I’m just asking because I think it would be wrong to make fun of handicapped people.
But you are correct when you say “hey im a uga fan and we are not rebuilding”
You are definitely not rebuilding….you have to be a championship team to reload or rebuild…..Georgia has never been mistaken for a championship team. Enjoy living in mediocrity.
everyone needs to chill out, seriously
Where is KJB with his “LOUD NOISES” comments?
Waaah. I can’t believe you guys are getting worked up because a pro athlete, not tied to Ohio St., talks about how he dislikes tOSU. Get over it. I think you’d find a lot of people tired of OSU after watching them get doused the past two seasons in the BCS championship game.
Besides, Carson Palmer is a stud QB. You would be stupid to “get rid of him” because he dislikes Ohio St. That’s just dumb. But, considering the source, it would be appropriate.
RE: Kyle UGA…Who cares about UGA, other than you obviously. tOSU has a game with USC…this story is about a USC grad. The tOSU season is made or unmade by that game. Looks like tOSU does not actually have UGA on the schedule…turns out. So IF your team makes it through the SEC, awesome, talk to you then. If not, prepare another long-winded, off-topic and essentially worthless post.
Thanks guy.
And what Palmer fails to acknowledge, in that limited Trojan mind of his, is that SC and their mostly bandwagon fans are truly insufferable…Living out here in L.A., you’d think that SC football was God’s gift to mankind…But just wait…The moment they go 8-4, all eyes will turn to the Lakers or Dodgers…
Wow, this subject touched some nerves.
Can you just sense the fact everyone is hungry for football season? Carson shoots his mouth off a bit and it lights a fire storm of discussion.
I just want some live football to talk about.
Last time I checked the national championship runs through the SEC title game, not the Big 10 or Pac10. So suck on that.
I don’t blame Carson for hating OSU, anyone that lives north of Cinci is obviously a douchebag. The rest of the region knows it, so you guys should catch on eventually.
1. OSU has won more NC’s than Palmer.
2. Palmer leaves Steelers /Bengirls playoff game after going down like a girlyman.
3. Palmer’s mother dresses him funny. Who wears a searsucker jacket in this day and age as pictured?
I’m sure Paul Brown (founder of the Browns & Bengals) & former Buckeye coach is rolling in his grave.
I wonder just how much money Carson’s big mouth just costs the Bengals? I for one, will now NEVER give a dime to anything Bengals until he is no longer with the team. I’m sure I’m not the only one & I will be rooting for them to lose every game he plays in in 2008-9.
My mistake, he was a coach of the Browns, you know, the one that won them 5 straight championships & 3 of their 4 NFL championships.
Who cares?
i mean seriously, does it matter?
bengals suck and if osu beats usc they’ll go to the NC game again this year, due to playing a cup cake schedule full of sorry ass non-conference teams and pathetic in-conference opponents.
college football is so f**ked up
BWAHAHAHA! “me thinks thou doth protest too much.”
Is it too late to get rid of Ohio all together and just go back to 49 states? Indiana and Kentucky could use some more space set aside for their state-park systems.
Willie, I have plenty of family who lives in SEC country and they are ALWAYS telling me how the South is behind when it comes to trends, news, and education. I don’t think we (people north of Cincy) need to “catch on” to anything. But here is some news for you “the war of northern aggression” is over, you lost…..it’s a shame that some of the kids that play for SEC schools don’t know that they would be treated equally (no matter their skin color) up here……sure everywhere has their ignorant racists…..certain areas in the south just seem to have more.
It is so nice to be hated by every other school and their fans. The best part is that because our school is so large, we have annoying fans in all parts of the country to make sure all of America is made aware of OSU pride. IDon’t forget people that fan is short for fanatic.
As for Carson, he is entitled to his opinion, but I have temporarily rescinded my fan status of the Bengals. His comments are the last in a long line of embarassments on and off the field. Call me when they fire Marvin and get rid of Chad and stop drafting loser scUM players.
Wow, never knew Buckeye fans were a bunch of sissies. Someone speaks out against Ohio State and it’s like he ran over your dog. What a bunch of pansies. The dude went to USC and he’s speaking out for his school. I don’t see tOSU fans getting bent out of shape when their former athletes call out the UM program. But, I guess if I lived in Ohio all there is is tOSU so maybe I should cut you all slack becuase that’s all you have to look forward to in Ohio.
I’ve got family in Ohio, and I’ve always liked the place (outside of the horrendous weather and the insect infestation). I used to think highly of people from Ohio, this just shows me how wrong I was. Looking forward to LBJ leaving the state in a few years. He’s from Ohio and he doesn’t even want to stay their. I think that’s pretty much par for the course for anyone whose been outside of the state. Why stay unless you have too?
This is absolutely AWESOME. Thats what you pompous morons need to hear from time to time.
I can’t speak for the rest of Buckeye Nation, but Carson sure put me in my place. Now I’m hungry for some John Morrell sausage because as Carson says, “It’s bigger than the bun.” Whatever that means.
“The” reason Palmer spoke out on you Buckeye fans is proven in your comments here. For such a prestigous college, it’s football fans are nothing more than arrogant, delusional a-holes. I live in central Ohio and feel the same way he does. I can appreciate being a loyal fan; but you guys are ridiculous. You’re not “the” only college football team around. And when somebody speaks out on the Buckeye 24-7 hype that goes on during “the” fall you guys are so shocked and surprised, like everybody is supposed to respect you for just being “The” Ohio State Buckeyes. If “The” Buckeyes played a real schedule of non-conference opponents, people might have more respect for your program, especially since though “The” Big Ten is full of pathetic football programs any more. Wake up and earn it….
Carson Palmer’s win/loss record in NFL: 32-29
OSU’s win/loss record during same timeframe: 41-9
No wonder people in Ohio aren’t that impressed with you, Palmer. Win, then run your trap, not the other way around.
If the Big Ten is full of “pathetic football programs” …
Then why on earth are so many big time programs LOSING to those same Big Ten Teams?
Listening to Carson’s comments in context, along with the rest of the interview, you can tell that he was nudging his teammates a little. He was also on the radio with a big SC Alum and radio personality (Petros’ father is also one of the leading football alums around as far as activity); of course he talked a little trash. Being an SC man myself, I can definitely say that the Thundering Herd is absolutely ready and chomping at the bit for this matchup.
We should all take pride, both Trojan and Buckeye fans alike, in the fact that this is the only decent matchup in college football in the first month of the season. (I can’t say much else good about the rest of an early OSU schedule, its yearly romp through Ohio underlings). This sort of thing, the cross-sectional rivalries is what make college football so great. NFL fans would only be so lucky to have a match up like this with so much on the line in back to back years. Oh, that’s right, there season means nothing, just ask your friends Tom Brady and the Patriots. It’s going to be two great years of football.
If you are coming out to Los Angeles for the game this September, be sure to drop by the The Menlo Bar, on Menlo and Martin Luther King Jr. Blvd., across the street from the Coliseum on game day. We’ll be there nice and early. Can’t wait to see everyone.
Fight On!
As someone who was having a hard time finding reasons to continue rooting for the Bengals, I can honestly say that I no longer have any. Fuck Carson Palmer. He’s an SC guy, and I get that. I don’t expect him to like the Buckeyes but have a little fucking respect for the people who cheer for your awful team because they are, for the most part, Buckeyes. September 13th is a big game, and I expect SC guys to talk some shit, but don’t degrade the team, coach, university and most importantly, the FANS! Braylon Edwards hates Ohio State too, but I’ve seen him numerous times on the Best Damn Sports Show and he gives Ohio State respect even when talking smack. The hell with Carson Palmer and anyone else who is calling Buckeye fans irrational for calling Carson exactly what he has turned out to be, a dousche.
Big time programs….. you mean like Appalachian State, right?
& Here’s something else about the uninformed people spouting off about Ohio State’s “easy schedule”: SOS ranking-
2007 #39, 2006 #35, 2005 #3, 2004 #9, 2003 #13, 2002 #23, 2001 #23, 2000 #3, 1999 #6. I would bet that there may only be one or two teams that would have better SOS’s over those years.
Yeah, It must suck to be a Florida Fan. Florida lost to the team that lost to Appalachian State.
How about how Washington almost beat USC last year, but got beaten solidly by OSU? Do you think Texas A&M thinks Penn State is a weak program?
Youngstown State, Ohio University, and Troy…hmmm. Well, I guess you do play USC too. I guess 3-1 non-conference ain’t bad.. especially when you are playing such tough competition.
Buckeye algebra —- who lost to who that we beat…
Sweet Christ the power of EDSBS! Has there ever been this many comments here for one entry?
I like having all these people from around the country coming here and telling us how insignificant OSU is. Then why are you here? I for one don’t care what some hotdog deep throat specialist has to say, but I do enjoy the scorn of the entire country. It let’s me know OSU is doing something right.
[/shitstorm] now guys?
7 Bowl teams.
“who lost to who that we beat”
TODD’s strawman tactic to make everyone forget that he was critizing OSU’s SOS.
Buckeye haters are so clever. I know it never gets old to bash tOSU’s non-conference schedule (as EVERY Buckeye hater has proven) or the fact that the SEC is great (an original argument) and the Big ten is weak (haven’t heard that before) but I’m literally astonished they are now attacking the actual state of Ohio. Wow. That’s actually hilarious.
And I thought this should go without saying, but it doesn’t matter where you’re from, even if you are the president of Mensa, the second you use the word “ya’ll” your opinion becomes irrelevant.
Ohio State is great program and I always find myself rooting for you guys against Michigan but let’s not get way ahead of ourselves. USC under Carroll have shown for the most part complete dominance in College Football. Yes they lost to a bad team like Stanford who they were supposed to beat but didn’t OSU lose to a team they were supposed to beat also. The loses were to conference opponents unlike Michigan’s loss to A-State last year.. Ohio State seems to back in to the BCS Championship year in and year out partially because the way the Big Ten set’s up they’re schedules mostly ending all they’re games around Thanksgiving. Like Michigan/Ohio State game is in November and the Pac 10 last games are usually the first weekend of December meaning USC/UCLA game is played around then so any loss or even a non-covincing win by Pete’s boys means the big ten winner might get into the BCS Championship by default. Because they did not play for 2 weeks and can only gain points and not lose any in the BCS Standings. Let’s make the Big Ten play there last game OSU/Michigan game in December on the same date as the final Pac-10 game. Also SC has year in and year out played a tougher schedule then most teams and they even play the tough games on the road like going into the SEC in the begining of the season and they undefeated in the last 5 years down in the south. Ohio state? Please they would not even dare play two tough out of conference games in the same year.. Like SC’s motto “Any Team, Anytime, Anywhere”
Todd, some “Big Time” programs that lost to Big Ten teams in recent years:
LSU (to Iowa 2004)
Florida (to Michigan 2007)
Tennessee (to Penn State 2006)
Auburn (to Wisky 2005)
Arkansas (to Wisky 2006)
Alabama (to Michigan 1999 (?))
(that’s half the SEC - Vandy, Kentucky obviously have their own losses to BXI, I did all the counting for you, and you can thank me later)
Ohio State also knocked off defending champ Texas, Big 12 champion Kansas State, the 2nd most loaded Miami Hurricane team in history (Vilma, Wilfork, Andre Johnson, McGahee - all-pros up and down both sides of the ball) and aNotre Dame team that took the best USC team of the past 25 years down to the wire in South Bend. So yeah, the “elite team” argument is beating a dead horse. SEC teams, that’s another issue entirely.
ohio state sucks. they’ve proved it in the last two big games. SC will again show us what we already have seen time and again… that they are not big time caliber. period
“ohio state sucks. they’ve proved it in the last two big games. SC will again show us what we already have seen time and again… that they are not big time caliber. period”
Proof that Mike is a Mensa member.
How about they play the USC-UCLA game in Edmonton if you want the OSU-Mich game in December?
DodgerRob, 1st of all Michigan lost points and dropped out of the #2 spot while not playing any games in 2006. 2nd have you ever heard the phrase out of site out of mind…..the people who play last have the best chance of making it to the game…..if they lose it’s they’re own fault….no Big10 team has lost the last game of the year and made it to the championship game….only Oklahoma has done that. 3rd the Big10 has already put in motion moving their games back so the last games of the year will be later by adding an off week back in…..so double check what you are talking about if you’re going to run your mouth.
Im just trying to stop the civil war. Just because Carson Palmer says something doesnt mean you should attack Cincy. If there is one thing that most Bengals and Browns fans can actually agree on, its that we both love the the Bucks!
I think this is the most excitement about something Carson Palmer has done since he left SC.
Dude this entire thread is hilarious. Thanks for the laughs everyone.
I don’t care if VY comes in yapping about Tennessee Vols. NFL is NFL and College is College. If VY dogs the Titans that is a different story.
Also I love how Poguemahon goes all the way back to 2003 and 1999 to find Big10 wins over the SEC. I don’t think anyone thinks the Big10 was bad back in 1999 or 2002. We think they are bad NOW as in the LAST TWO YEARS.
“I think this is the most excitement about something Carson Palmer has done since he left SC.”
It’s gotta be better than this:
