Posey Gets a Golden Opportunity
If a dog is gonna bite…If you consider yourself among those that think DeVier Posey should be seeing more balls, you may get your wish this weekend. Due to the vicious hit Dane Sanzenbacher took last weekend, he’s not listed on this week’s depth chart and you have to assume we won’t be seeing him this weekend. Small played often and well last weekend (aside from that one play, where he, you know, dropped a ball in the endzone), so he’ll likely get the call as the 3rd guy in those sets, but the Buckeyes have been rolling plenty of four-wides this season, so Posey will get a good opportunity to show what he can do.
I think with the line having played their best game of the season in Madison, the last thing this team is waiting on is a breakout in the receiver corps. Robo has stumbled out of the gate — probably injury related, but still stumbling. I think those that are ripping him for dropping the bomb Saturday night need to get on the clue train, because the defender was holding his right arm on the play, but clearly he has not been himself this year. Rumors are flying about Hartline and some locker room tensions, that if true, can’t be a good sign.
One of these guys has to step up as Pryor’s go-to guy and when that happens, this offense will be damn near unstoppable. Unfortunately, that opportunity may not come this weekend as the Boilermakers enter the game with a pretty bad run defense.
Boom Herron, put out of the Wisconsin game on what was an even rougher hit is also left off of the depth chart. Saine and Rasta will move up in his place. I touched on this a little in the recap, but the Big Ten needs to implement some sort of helmet-to-helmet policy like the NFL has in place (The Dispatch’s Ken Gordon appears to agree). It was a monster hit and football purists might applaud it, but there’s no need to lead with the helmet like that at today’s speeds.
Outside of those two injuries, there’s little change from last week’s published depth chart to the one put out yesterday. Rehring did see action against the Badgers, but as of now is still listed as a backup to Cordle at left guard. Sabino is still penciled-in as the backup to Laurinaitis, though I’m sure we’ll get a Spitler update at Tressel’s press conference later today.
You may have noticed the eye logo in our Blogpoll ballot yesterday, though Les Moonves told us he’d kick our ass if we mentioned it before the PR went out, so we couldn’t say anything about it. Now we can. The poll, the brainchild of MGoBlog’s Brian Cook, will be featured exclusively at CBSSports.com. Huge congratulations to Brian and the presser CBS put out actually manages to use the words “influential”, “popular” and “expert” and “blogger” in a sentence about college football, so mad props to them for pulling that off with a straight face:
Since 2005, the most influential, popular and expert college football bloggers have weighed in each week of the season, combining to create a weekly Top 25 ranking unrivaled in its authenticity and transparency. Each blogger’s weekly ballot is publicly available, and the bloggers themselves post their ballots on their blogs, subject to the scrutiny of the fans.
As the new home for the BlogPoll Top 25, CBSSports.com will continue this tradition: The BlogPoll’s initial results will be released on Monday, displayed side-by-side with the more traditional AP and Coaches’ polls. Fans will be encouraged to review the ballot of the blogger associated with their favorite team and, if interested, even challenge them to defend their decision-making. The BlogPoll voters will take this fan feedback into account before submitting their final ballot, released each Wednesday exclusively at CBSSports.com.
The BlogPoll’s founder and administrator, Brian Cook — who publishes MGoBlog.com, the leading blog dedicated to Michigan football — will continue to provide his weekly analysis, calling out individual bloggers for qualities like excessive deviation from the overall poll and “homerism.”
Voting bloggers are vetted for editorial integrity before being allowed to participate and comprise many of the most knowledgeable, responsible and influential experts in the sport. The weekly BlogPoll ballots are among the most highly anticipated posts each week
The poll is already up — in all of its glory — next to the AP and Coaches Polls on the CBS website. And BHGP already has the sponsorship details sorted out with the “CBS Reebok Bud Light Levitra Blogpoll built by Home Depot and brought to you by Taco Bell”. It’s just a matter of time until we are tangling with Skip Bayless on Cold Pizza or whatever the hell that show is called these days.
Vico at OHD has been doing a bang-up job of posting classic game drive-thrus on YouTube, but if you’re in the mood fore some instant classic action, the highlights of the Wisconsin game have been posted as a 10 minute clip. Good stuff.

Would be too bad if Hartline is running his mouth about amount of passes thrown his way. Has Hartline done much to inspire confidence in the time that Pryor has been QB? I respect what Hartline has done since he’s been here, but he almost single-handedly lost the game for OSU on that last drive in Wisky. Seems like the new offensive philosphy that is more run-oriented seems to have gotten Hartline a litte upset. But that is no excuse not to keep your head in the game and look unprepared when passes ARE thrown his way. Tressel will allow Pryor to throw more and more each week. Hartline needs to be patient and act like an upperclassman.
Greg Oden's Tonsils - 10/07/08 @ 8:34 am - #
With all the emphasis on protecting these kids how was that helmet to helmet not a violation?
I wouldn’t be too hard on Hartline in the Wisky game. He kept the drive. Yes he fumbled but let’s not discredit just how hard Wisconsin hits. Fumbles are hard to forgive but come on they were laying us out left and right. Much respect to their physicality. And right now as far as we know all this talk about discordance in the locker room is just hearsay.
FlipBuckeye - 10/07/08 @ 8:51 am - #
It seems to me that Dane Sanzenbacher has become Terrelle’s “go-to-guy.” I have been promoting Dane since he arrived at Ohio State(I’m biased, he’s a hometown boy from Toledo). I hope he gets well because the OSU offense needs him in my opinion.
Same goes for Herron. He seems to be the second best RB behind Beanie and I hope he recovers fast as well. I definitely think there should be some kind of helmet to helmet penalty in college.
I think both Robiskie and Hartline need to man up and be team players, and if it means spreading the ball around to other receivers and running the ball more, so be it. No whining should be allowed in the locker room.
buckeyedude - 10/07/08 @ 9:30 am - #
Not only was it helmet to helmet, but it was on a defensless receiver. It was dirty and nonsense. The hit that cause the fumble was clean but hitting Boom that way is a total pussy move. The WR’s need to make plays. There were too many drops on catches that could have been made. Hartline needs to use his body better on the knock away/drop in the endzone to keep the defender from getting to that ball, and the one that was high he should have caught. Small in the endzone (even if it was coming back) is inexcusable, and Robo had a chance at that ball and didn’t get it. The difference between this team and 2002 is Jenkins and Gamble caught everything near them and rarely dropped the ball. Oh and the defense is now playing in the NFL I don’t think these defensive tackles will play in the CFL.
JoseOle - 10/07/08 @ 9:31 am - #
Don’t forget about the Hartline drop that was slightly high, but still very catchable. He’s just playing like somebody that isn’t focused. I don’t know about the locker room stuff, but it looks like he’s getting frustrated and it’s spilling onto the field. People can be pissed all they want behind closed doors, but when the lights come on that shit needs to be set aside. Like I said earlier, he’s been one of the bright spots of this offense the last couple of years and I think OSU fans should respect him for it. I just think that respect should be mutual and when the team is winning, can the whining.
Greg Oden's Tonsils - 10/07/08 @ 9:34 am - #
I’m sure it has to be frustrating for Hartline and Robo, putting in all that extra work with the Todd and then LiC comes in and actually starts throwing to the TE, FB and RB’s.
Pryor does have a tendency to float the ball on his passes, but that is no excuse for the amount of dropped balls this season. Hopefully it is all rumors and remember, winning cures all.
With all the rules the NCAA has on the student-athletes, it is very surprising they don’t have a helmet-to-helmet rule.

Hartline couldnt hold my jock, and he bitches like a girl. This week is gonna be exciting!
DEVIER POSEY - 10/07/08 @ 10:16 am - #
Jack Nicholson had a famous quote in the original Batman Movie… “What this town needs is an enema”…. and this team is getting a fleet enema right now. All the shit will be flushed out over time and if upper classman are part of the crap then so be it. The seniors (and Juniors) need to step up or step aside. Bitching is for bitches…… if one of the Prima Donas is pissed off, then step aside and let one of the young lions get in the game. Enough of the laziness, sloppiness and f’ing around… go out and kick Purdue’s ass…. then Sparty’s ass…. , etc.
PALM BEACH BUCKEYE - 10/07/08 @ 10:33 am - #
Frankly the helmet to helmet should’ve been called. Remember when Crable got called for it hitting Troy Smith in the classic 06 UM v OSU game? So I don’t know why they wouldn’t call this one, which was much more obvious and brutal.
FlipBuckeye - 10/07/08 @ 10:33 am - #
none of the WRs are going to be too happy this season as the passing is not there and JT will not let Pryor lose this season.
I respectfully disagree with people that think Tressel will slowly open up the offense over the year. I think he will keep it just as conservative as it has been this entire year (likely b/c we keep mostly winning) and will work with TP to get better in the passing game after the season.
It just is not in Tressel’s nature to open things up. This is the O we will have this year and we better hope that TP and Beanie keep making those huge runs each and every game
also, this means that Hartline and whoever else has a problem with it better not become a problem, either.
Buckeyeblowoutwin - 10/07/08 @ 11:17 am - #
As far as I am concerned, Hartline has no pedestal to stand on. I respect & appreciate what he has done for this team, but as a so called “leader” he should not be complaining. NOT ONCE has a buckeye team been about an individual…..especially an individual who is a posession receiver at best. Please Mr. Hartline, as the dominant receiver you are, take your shot at the 5th round of the NFL Draft this April.
BuckeyeSki - 10/07/08 @ 11:20 am - #
Can’t help but notice that 5 SEC teams are in the top 12 and OSU is down at 14…….I haven’t looked at the votes…..but seeing as I know several people from the South and how much they hate tOSU and over-hype the SEC, I’d like to see their pole votes in comparison to the rest.
……it must be killing them that the Big12 is the best conference so far this year and not the SEC.
Wil - 10/07/08 @ 11:30 am - #
God’s conference….or the SEC if you wanna be a dick about it(LOL) is down this year and I personally love it. 3-2 final scores? Offense’s that can’t get anything going. Defense is a strong point I suppose. Florida is nothing without their special teams……VANDERBILT is the class of the conference, and a Nick Saban team is tops in the league? Man I love college football……bowl season is right around the corner and the SEC better look out for the Big 12 and 11.
BuckeyeSki - 10/07/08 @ 11:41 am - #
I live in SEC country and it is really hard to gauge what the fans think because of their tunnel vision. They see only SEC footbal and couldn’t care less about much else. They make judgements about teams they’ve never seen play. Plus, they know that when I talk with them I am immediately the smartest person in the conversation just because I’m form Ohio. ;)
The Big Ten is a much better conference this year than the past two. It seems every team is making strides in the right direction. With Dantonio, Fitzgerald, Zook, and (never thought I’d say this) Brewster elevating their respective programs the conference is tough top to bottom. Bill Lynch is holding his own at Indiana (surprisingly) and RichRod just has a lot of work to do. The bottom isn’t as far away from the top anymore and that is what made the SEC such a tough conference in recent years.
BrotherBuck - 10/07/08 @ 1:04 pm - #
While it’s true that the Dampfkesselherstellers have poor run defense, they also have a poor pass defense, which is the roundabout way of saying that they have a poor defense.
So we could get an airshow without the Buckeye’s necessarily trying to do so.
DubinSaab - 10/07/08 @ 2:30 pm - #
I agree there has been some improvement in some respects with the conference, but really we are still in a terrible period.
Think about it:
OSU - never had such a bad perception, although still humming along as a recruiting machine and so always close - and why we have dominated the conference, but look at the rest
TTUN - never have looked as inept as they do right now. And this program has steadily declined over the last few years before the move to RR - they were getting beat in the Alamo Bowl by a Callahan coached NE team for crying out loud
Wisky - taken a step back after Alvarez (remember the citadel game)
Penn St - ok this year is better, but this team is not even close to being what it was and is always close to 4-8
IA - what the hell happened here
basically, LLLLLoyd Carr and Paterno ran two of our 3 elite programs in the ground and the two highest “middle level” programs (IA, wisconsin) have gone backwards….that has been a lot for a conference to absorb when you think abut it and helps explain the bowl records this decade

Nah, the Vest always prefers to go to the ground 1st.

When will the Buckeye nation learn Tressel beats Michigan which has been going downhill and his only big win was against a Larry Coker coached team in a season when you almost lost to Marshall and Cincy. I am not hating its a honest veiw Tressel is outcoached constantly he had some good years but you better look at his assistants then. I also think Tressel who is basically involved in the offense, which is horrible every year is not going to be the coach to put you in the USC category. I think Buckeyes are very talented but poor coached, seriously anybody who got excitied about the offense against Wisc is crazy if not for Beanie you would have been shut out. I think Buckeyes fan get excitied about beating Michigan but it should be about the national view. Everybody hated on Copper cause he could not beat Michigan but OSU was better to watch then, because the nation is hating on the Buckeyes now and alot of burden is because Tressel can’t hang against coaches who have been in big show for awhile. I like the Buckeyes just think all the Tressels supporters need to watch games outside the Big Ten and you will see Tressel is not a top 15 coach, which OSU has top 5 talent and any coach who has Heacock and Bollman as important coaches needs a reality check before you end up pulling your hair out. I think Tressel is suited to coach a team like Mount Union rich in tradition and stays out of the spotlight and does not have to deal with Saban, Spurrier, Carroll, Stoops and Meyer’s of the coaching world because i truly think football is changing and you better have a coach with the personality to go along with the change.

All credibility lost.
Poe McKnoe - 10/07/08 @ 5:51 pm - #
Ref history Poe i am not hating but Tressel is not a great coach that is what i think. The Buckeyes are loaded with talent let Spurrier have that talent guarntee it would be better results. Tressel talks about the punt as the most important play seriously its 2008 it seems to me Tressel loves the field goal and punt, when you play the big boys the kicking game other then the return game does not mean anything excluding a couple of games. I like some of Buckeye players but to me Tressel is not great seriously what coach plays Zwick over Smith or calls offense the way he does. I watched the Wisc game and you should have not won. Wisc was way better coached because they do not have your talent level but looked to be the better team . I guess it comes down to the Buckeyes have probaly 4 to 5 players on this years team that will be first round draft picks and it looks to me that this team is not coached up to the talent they have
Les Miles - 10/07/08 @ 6:24 pm - #
“Everybody hated on Copper cause he could not beat Michigan but OSU was better to watch then, because the nation is hating on the Buckeyes now and alot of burden is because Tressel can’t hang against coaches who have been in big show for awhile.”
SERIOUSLY?!!, you’d rather make it to second and third tier bowls and look like a juggernaut putting up seventy five on Bob Jones University in the first week of the season then lose to a less talented Skunk Bear team than be in a BCS bowl nearly every year, winning most of them. I don’t know where you got the drugs, but they must be pretty good, or your a troll trying to irritate people under the guise of Les Miles, take your pick, either way, you sir are wrong.
Sean - 10/07/08 @ 6:33 pm - #
Everybody got a opinion Sean fact of matter is that Tressel won with Copper’s recruits in 2002 and what if you would have not made 55 yard field goal against Marshall, believe in Tressel if you want but your program is look at as divison 2 team nationally and thank Tressel for that you just can’t be honest Tressel is not a great coach. The option died in late 80’s ref Norte Dame and Nebraska but Buckeye fans are excitied about the option that barely beat Wisc. If you can’t be honest about your coach then you are a typical bucks fan that thinks you are underrated but you are overrated. Tressels two big bowl wins came against a Coker Maimi team and a overhyped Norte Dame team. I am honest sports fan and if you watch the Buckeyes and tell me that is a good coaching staff then my friend you have no sports IQ
Les Miles - 10/07/08 @ 7:24 pm - #
Les Miles is a douche and a vest sniffer.
Jim Tressel - 10/07/08 @ 9:04 pm - #
Les: Tressel’s coaching style is not for everyone and yes I do feel that he needs a real offensive coordinator(JT is the OC not Bollman) and a more agressive D coordinator. Your comment ‘…OSU was better to watch then..’ is curious though. Who cares? People wanted to string up Copper(sp) better to watch or not. I know people complain about JT’s conservative tendencies but if you think that the fans would rather see a wide open offense and lose a few more games you are kiddng yourself. You are correct in that he barely won a couple of those games in 2002 but I for one could care less about the slim victory margins that year as they Bucks won the title against a very good Miami team.
Jim - 10/07/08 @ 9:32 pm - #
Well put Jim i agree alot with your post except if we did open up our offense it does mean we would loss a couple of more games i think maybe we would be do better on the big stage. That guy does make a couple of points that you do have to think about because i have felt Tressel have been getting outcoached a little bit the last couple of years because we stay the same on off and def and other teams with big time talent adjust and we have gotten blown out ref Florida, LSU and USC some of that has to be coaching. GO BUCKS
JBeveridge - 10/08/08 @ 9:06 am - #
How are people assuming that opening up the offense means we probably lose a few more games??? I don’t understand that. I am not convinced that ultra conservative “Tressel ball” means we have been winning some games where we would lose had we “opened up” the offense - hey by opening up the offense we are not asking JT to adopt the run and shoot or anything, how about moving out of the 50’s at least and into some form of scheme that recognizes some more modern advances
Opening up the offense does not mean we lose anymore games, it will only make us more competitive against better teams that have better talent than we do. And we will win all these games we are supposed to win by greater margins (more young guys play, build up more credibility, other benefits)
Somehow other programs can at least make a game of it when they play elite teams with far more talent than they have (Fresno, Vanderbilt, Boise St. as just some examples) and somehow we cannot even stay on the same field???? - that is definitively coaching
Buckeyeblowoutwin - 10/08/08 @ 9:18 am - #
You can play “Tressel” ball with a dominant defense and special teams. Those are two things that recent teams didn’t have that the ‘02 team did. Hopefully, with the best backfield in America we can start outscoring teams without relying on holding teams to less than 20 points. PSU will put some points on the board in a couple weeks and Lic/Beanie should be able to do the same.
Coop - 10/08/08 @ 10:50 am - #
Les I just have a couple of thing;
I live in Kansas City, pretty much the heart of Big Twelve 12 country. Everything you say about Coach Tressel is what is being said about Bob Stoops. Stoops won the MNC in his 2nd year. He won the MNC with the other guys recruits They say the same thing about Urban Myer, 2nd year Ron Zook recruits. They can’t win the big game, zero bowl wins since 2003. Florida’s recent struggles against lower level competetion, including scUM last year.
I chuckled at the comment that he ONLY beat Miami and Notre Dame. First of all that Miami team was a great team. Did you forget the 2004 Fiesta Bowl? They beat a great Kansas State team. That K-State team crushed Oklahoma in the Big 12 Championship game.
Lastly, your comment that we only beat Wisky because of Beanie made me laugh out loud, seriously. That is like saying Texas only beat USC because of Vince Young. That is like saying the Bulls only beat the Cavs because of Jordan. You are 100% correct. YOUR BEST PLAYER WIN GAMES SOMETIMES SINGLE HANDEDLY!!!
In conclusion I would like to sum up your posts; Every coach is bad. Your same critisizms for Coach Tressel could be applied to Stoops(no bowl wins since 2003, won MNC with other guys recruits), Urban Myer(won with Zooks recruits, loses to lesser competion, doesn’t play well in big game), Carroll,(won in 2nd year with other guys recruits, lost nation championship to Vince Young, can’t coach against lesser competition), Mack Brown (can’t win without a certain Vince Young).
If I am wrong about what you are saying please correct me, but it seems to me that all the coaches I have listed seem to have a similar track record as Coach Tressel.
Robb - 10/08/08 @ 11:42 am - #
You are right Robb except for all those coaches compete in big game except Stoops. I am not hating on Tressel look at NFL look at College today old school is gone exclude (Titans). I also read another post, run game and great defense won in 2002 but its 2008 and teams throw the piss out of ball and you can only stop teams for so long. I just got done watching LSU OSU game and that was coaching not talent because the Buckeyes always got talent. I guess twenty returning starters and this team looks like it has not been coached at all. I think everybody in Columbus is living off Tressel from 2002 which is fine and you been to two more BCS games to win it all, but as the country is noticing the Big Ten is weak you can argue if you want the proof is in the games. I hope Pryor can be coached to his great gifts because if not it will be a shame a talent like that gets scared because Tressel is not a risk taker. I am telling right now Heacock and Fickell are the worst x’s and o’s defensive coaches in the history of your unversity.
Les Miles - 10/08/08 @ 1:13 pm - #
Les, so we need new coordinators… Tell us something that we didn’t know. Some of us may have been slow to figure it out, but the beginning of this season has made it crystal clear to much of Buckeye Nation that while Tressel can recruit tallent on the field, his staff doesn’t have the tallent in the coaching department to support the players and make them into the team that they could be.
vermont buckeye - 10/08/08 @ 1:23 pm - #
BlowOut: Relax. My point, which I obviously botched, is that who the f@#k cares if Coop’s teams were better to watch he did not go to championship games, let alone win and was putrid against UM. Bucks fans did not care about the victory margin during the regular season when the were celebrating at 11:30pm on January 3, 2003. And if they won two out of their last 3 big games they wouldn’t care now either. It is all about winning.
Les: I’m not living off of Tressel in ‘02 but I don’t think people want Coop back just because his teams were ‘better’ to watch.
Jim - 10/08/08 @ 3:41 pm - #
I not saying Copper should be the coach because there is no way he should be. I am saying Buckeye fans are passionate to a fault because Tressel is not a great coach why do think he was at YSU till late 50’s. I also say Tressel is 1 out of 3 in the biggest game with two losses being embarrassed by SEC. I am simply saying if you watch there last 30 games Tressel is not a elite coach there is no adjustments, horrible coaching staff, vanilla offense, a trick play in this decade(one a season would be nice to see) and seriously every good team in country blitzes the shit out of people and if and when you guys blitz it looks like there is not a scheme behind it. If you honestly say this team is playing up to its potential then so be it. I think this a very underachieving team and i here about there line play when i look at the drafts i don’t see USC or any SEC loaded with line talent usually one guy gets drafted a year i think its a scheme thing. Good Luck this season but you just need to be honest about your coaching staff. Like i said early great fit for Mount Union its almost like he is turning into JOEPA and looks like the game is passing him by, seriously you think you can run the table running the option good luck, defense’s will eat that crap up minus Chris Wells because i do think he is the best back in College Football and your offense still’s sucks which to me spells out poor coaching
Les Miles - 10/08/08 @ 3:57 pm - #
“You play to win the game”
“YOU PLAY. TO WIN. THE GAME.” H. EDWARDS
Tressel understands this, too bad too few of the “fans” do as well. The only thing fans should expect from a coach is victories, and Tress is amongst the best of them. I don’t care if we win every game 2-0 with negative offense yardage, the end justifies the means in cfb.
Fact: EVERY Buckeye fan and the MAJORITY of cfb fans can name the FOUR teams the Buckeyes have lost to in the last THREE YEARS. Only the elite teams are recognized for their losses. Four loses, three years. Enough said.

Jim - 10/08/08 @ 4:12 pm - #
Tyler, I hear you and it is true to a certain extent, but deep down, you would take 6 or 8 losses in that span instead of 4 if we win 2 of those three games of which we should no longer speak … I’ll be honest and say that I would rather have lost a couple more over the last few years and won some bowl games and not have had the damage to the reputation that we have had. If you really cared about winning national championships you would care about that - if its only the big 10 that matters, well, rankings do not matter there. But as long as we follow a sport where the championship game is a popularity contest, it isn’t good to the team that no one likes (scratch that, no one respects … look a Miami in the 80’s )
Buckeyeblowoutwin - 10/08/08 @ 5:57 pm - #
Blowout: If we take six or eight losses in that span I’m not sure we would have had an opportunity at two of the three games I think you are refering to. I would rather win more games, period. I’m embarassed the way we lost to UF but I would much rather lose to FL then say Ole Miss or one of the other OSUs. By the way, who would you rather see as HC? Not pie in the sky because people like Carrol are not coming here.
Jim - 10/08/08 @ 8:17 pm - #
Les why do you refuse to acknowledge the Fiesta Bowl win against Kansas State. That team had Darren Sproles who was a Heisman finalist. K-State beat Oklahoma 35-7 in the Big 12 Championship. If you remember some even called that the greatest Oklahoma team. i should know I live here in Kansas City, the heart of Big 12 country.
I also do not undestand your reasoning Blowout. If we lose 6 or eight games, we are not even talking about bowl games.
Here is how I view the problems Ohio State faces. The Buckeyes suffer from the same problems the NY Yankees suffer from. Face it most of you, like myself, hate the Yankees. Why, they spend all that money and they are always good. Everytime you turn around there they are, the NY Yankees. Well the Buckeyes have that same problem. I have seen so much Buckeye coverage all the way out here in Kansas CIty. Even though I never get tired of seeing the Bucks, others do.
There will alwyas be those who love to watch the big dogs go down. They hate consumate winners. It took me a long time to figure it out, but the Buck are CFB version of the Yanks!!!
Anonymous - 10/08/08 @ 10:40 pm - #
I’d second that, except if you haven’t noticed as of recent, the Yankees have been supplanted by the Boston Red Sox. The one-time underdog fan favorites have become the bullies. I swear, in the 3 years I lived in NYC, I saw about twice as many Bo-Sox hates as Yankees. Guess it just became popular to back the out-of-towners.
