Tyler, my man, I give you a thumbs up dude! Great post!

If you listen closely(on the net, on the radio, etc.), people don’t “hate” Ohio State because of the “Reynolds Choke Hold” or Maurice Clarrett.

They hate Ohio State because we’ve been to the NC 3 times in the last 5 years and we landed Terrelle Pryor.

I’m really surprised that one can drop do many “F” bombs in here and not get booted.

scUM’s D ain’t so bad. D-line is really good.

Secondary, obviously, can be abused. But the D is respectable, at least. The O…not so much.

I concur 100% Tyler.

I have about an hour drive to get to a local bar to watch the Bucks, I am pretty pumped right now. PSU is not winning impressively and neither is MSU.

I’m gonna agree with Seymour Skinner on this one. You guys need to have a beer and lighten the fuck up. No one is condoning choking someone out, but we can joke about it in jest.

Kirk Barton said last year that this team needed to stomp on the oppossing team’s throats when we got them down, maybe Reynolds was just ahead of the curve! And NO ONE should joke about RR beating his wife…..unless she was wearing a Wisconsin jersey..ZING! (That’s a joke people, I know domestic abuse is bad)

Pog and Robb, while I respect your opinions in taking a stand on the issue, it was a joke. And as for the Buckeye fans being considered “classless” in the eyes of the nation, I say SO FUCKING WHAT. We really need to get over this obsession with our national perception. We have the most classy, PC coach in the history of college football and the entire country still HATES us and our coach. No amount of doing and saying the right or “classy” things is going to change that. We will not become a thug U type of program under Tressel (thank God), but we will not win back the masses by what we say and do. And why should we? We the fans love our Buckeyes, and the Buckeyes love their fans and that is all that is needed.

The bottom line is, RR isn’t the first Buckeye who turned out to be a prick and he won’t be the last. Let’s applaud THESE Buckeyes for their actions on and off the field. Here’s a beer and a “cheers” to hoping that these Buckeyes choke the life out of Wisconsin tonight, figuratively of course.

I agree that it was only one play. I just wish ESPN would quit replaying it over and over and over……….

Robb, I don’t disagree with you but we are talking about one play. I don’t see how that one play haunts the program which was the original assertion. I think that’s major hyperbole.

It haunts the program because it makes he Bucks look like thugs from Miami(FL). Having a program with class is important to some. There is more than winning. Winning is very important but not the most important. I want to be proud of those kids on the field and off the field.

Maybe I view winning a little differently. I went to a service academy. Our guys played hard, but didn’t always win. Us military guys think football is just a game. Until football is life and death, choking someone will never be ok in my book.

The UF, LSU, and USC losses were the players fault. There are too many rumors about the UF game for none of them to be true. The Bucks backed into he MNC last year and should have never been there. USC I have no explaination for, the Bucks choked.

I do not live in Ohio, my service has taken me out of the Buckeye state. Many fans of other teams tell me they would take Tressel as their coach in an instant. Two of my co-workers have even said the hate Ohio State, but absolutely respect Tressel.

Behavior that brings negative attention to the team is humiliating. Look at #13 for example. Losing will never over shadow bad conduct.
