O-H

er.. I-O?

This is how we do it at Burger Kings in the Buckeye State, boys. Subcommandante Wayne surely approves and you might want to avoid fast food in Xenia for a good long time.

Why? It's hilarious. Half the reason Buckeye fans are so disliked on the internets is our general inability to laugh at ourselves, our state, etc. Lighten up, it's funny.

Fast food proprietor from Xenia, perhaps?

You can watch crap like this on youtube all day long if you like but, that's not why buckeye fans come here. If no one told you this was in OH, you'd have no idea by watching it. If the guy had so much as an Ohio State rubber ducky in there with him, then it would be alright. As it stands, it has nothing to do with Ohio or The Buckeyes for that matter. That's why I say, "delete it".

And by the way, "half the the reason" the Buckeyes and the fans are not liked is not because of our senses of humor or any lack thereof, it's because were the most dominant program in the country. This year will make four of the last seven title games. That's understandably tough to swallow for the rest of the country.

You're not including all the other sports we've been to the championship games of . . . and lost. Though really, people just hate us cause we can't beat the SEC. And they hate the BCS system anyway.

Also, any video featuring the state of Ohio and a Burger King is heartwarming to me.

Stefanik - You've got to be kidding me. Most dominant program in college football right now? Top five, possibly. But LSU, Florida, USC, Georgia, and others all have more legitimate claims than we can claim to (especially those first two, whose fans are laughing their heads off at you right now). Let's actually win one of these MNCs before we brag.

No real Buckeye fan would ever say that. Maybe you ought to go find an SEC blog page and join the rest of the haters. All four of those teams rank behind OSU in winning percentage in the last decade. In fact, the only three teams with a higher winning percentage during that span is OK, TX and Boise State. You've failed to realize that losing a national championship does not negate everything else a team has done and certainly doesn't define a season. Just getting there is hard enough and does mean you've beat out 117+ other DIV I schools to get there. Do you care to explain yourself? Wait a minute, you're the guy in the BK tub, aren't you?

"Just getting there is hard enough"

No, not when you play chump change in the nonconference schedule and the conference is as down as it is. Granted, we had no control over Washington sucking an almighty dong this year, but if we played a good team out of conference that early on, we'd have lost, and we'd have two losses and no business being in the championship game on our schedule.

No, losing a national championship does not "negate" a team's accomplishments, but can you list some of the accomplishments of the last few years? 30+ wins against average-to-good Big Ten teams, a win over a good Michigan team ('06), two bad ones ('05 and '07, the latter heavily injured), and then the bowl games: two losses to teams that actually approach our level of talent and in LSU's case likely exceeds it - and a win over Notre Dame. Whoopty-freaking-doo, anyone with a pulse beats Notre Dame. Prior to that we were being Okie State in the Alama Bowl. Count me out on the love-in, I'll support this team till the day I die, but I don't think we were anything more than great the last two years.

See Pogue, for saying you support this team till the day you die, you're certainly sounding a lot like all the critics we've had to listen to. Everyone wants to come down with both feet on the Buckeyes, but it's NOT their fault the Big Ten hasn't been as good, and not their fault they ended up in the BCS title game this past year, against the team that was picked to win it all from the start.

Keep in mind too, everyone was saying we weren't supposed to beat Texas or Michigan in '06, and weren't supposed to beat Penn State, Wisconsin, or Michigan in '07. This is one of the top 5 elite programs in the country, like it or not. Counting Georgia among them and not the Buckeyes is asenine. Why do they have a claim to be a top program and we don't? How many national championships have they played for? How many BCS games have they gone to? How many conference championships do they have?

No, OSU cannot help the Big Ten sucking. I never said they could. What we can help as fans is not arrogantly proclaiming our superiority over numerous other teams we haven't even met yet on the field (USC, Georgia, etc.). I got in this argument on another forum a while back, after the last championship game, and my top five is as follows:

1. LSU
2. Florida
3. USC
4. Ohio State
5. Oklahoma/Texas/Georgia (take your pick, arguments can be made for each)

Really, I think that's what it looks like: those four are head and shoulders above the rest in terms of recruiting and results. Fourth place needs to start playing like it, is all.

In case anyone misreads the above, that's the top five elite programs in the country, not my top five favorites.

Don't worry Pogue, no one is reading your posts anymore. You've lost all credibility. You can't possibly be a Buckeye fan. I'm certain you're just an SEC fan in disguise trying to poison the well.

I don't care if you think I'm a Buckeye or not. It's a hallmark of the profoundly stupid sports fan to immediately doubt another fan's loyalty because that fan has the audacity to be objective. Stefanik, you embody "that guy" when it comes to Ohio State fans - the one who yells at fans who wear the visiting team's colors to a game, shits in wine coolers, and never thinks his team isn't wholly deserving of the hype and praise it gets, even if the face of two and four touchdown beatings in national title games and losing to Juice "40%" Williams at home.

You, my friend, are the reason we are the most hated fanbase in all of sports. My God, we've even beaten out Red Sox fans. Do you know what that means?

Simmer down boys. Let's save the vitriol for our natural enemies: Mountain West fans.
