also, OSU stuff aside, this is some intense crazy crap that's going on in iran. i think eventually nothing will end up coming of all of this, but at the very least the youth and the more moderate forces of iran are making themselves heard and i'm rooting for them as hard as i can. keep fighting the good fight, protesters. you're all about a million times more badass than i hope i'll ever have to be.

Allah Akbar/Allah Akbeer is arabic for God is great. "Kabara" is the root verb and relates to size (large/great). However, Iranians are not arabs; they don't speak arabic, they speak farsi (aka persian). However, because Arabic was the language of Muhammad, true moslems are expected to learn Arabic and read the Qu'ran in the original Arabic.

It was probably a goodwill donation. Haven't you ever seen pictures of people in Africa wearing a 1980's Denver Nuggets jersey. That stuff gets to those nations by way of aid. It is pretty funny that out of all those people, that guy is in the forefront.

I'm glad the non-OSU fans are coming on here and making fun of people getting beaten and killed while they rally for the beginnings of democracy. There probably the same people that believed it was good to bring Democracy, and war to Iraq.

What? 1996 - Florida LOST to Florida State, then got to play them in a rematch game, beat them, then somehow won the national title over an Ohio State team that beat the #2 team in the country in the Rose Bowl. That's the 2nd lamest national title ever awarded...2nd only to LSU's 2-loss season. Then there was Florida losing to Auburn at home, then beating a Ted Ginn-less Ohio State team 2 months after their season ended. You would have cried yourself a river if Michigan had gotten another shot at Ohio State and won in Glendale, so half of that 1996 title is Ohio State's, especially since Arizona State would have won the title outright if they had won that Rose Bowl. Then there was Florida losing to Ole Miss at home, and Florida was voted to #1 because people took pity on Tebow's God-praising temper-tantrum. USC had a better overall resume, and should have been there.

Face it, Florida has never won a national title without controversy. You will never win a national title without controversy, and that's because you'll never schedule a quality nonconference game, and you'll never go undefeated.

I think perhaps all you football idiots may want to pause and just for one second, replae the words OHIO STATE, for FREEDOM. I am ashamed to be an American college football fan after reading this page. Only in America could people demean the importance of a picture like this. I am glad that the kid in Tiennamen square wasn't wearing an Ohio State hoodie, noone would have ever seen the signifigance of the moment. Grow up guys, Im a fan too but its just a hoodie. By the way, someone said that the same people supporting this kid might be the same ones who brought war to IRAQ, those people also brought freedom to Iraq. Maybe you should all think of what you would say to that kid, instead of insulting each other, you all sound like idiots.

Who else do yall play that's any good? Penn State sucks and they whooped that ass last year. You make fun of us for losing to Ole Miss? Take a look they are in the pre-season top ten. Get a grip man.

HAHAHA and you're talking shit about a two loss LSU team. OSU had two losses that year and head to head comparison they were beat outright (pretty brutally if you ask me).

HOW DID USC HAVE A BETTER RESUME. For beating your sorry sack of a team? OSU was the only decent over hyped team they beat. I'm sorry losing to Ole Miss is not worse than losing to Oregon State and that lil punk running back.
