Interesting Statistics

Here are a few facts I came across from a couple of different sites. It's just another reason that supports that our favorite Institution is #1 across the board.

 

We have the largest fan base in the country... which makes us TBDFITL!

While the ultimate conclusion of the rantsports article is defensible, that is one terrible piece of writing.

The article brings light to a valid point. As difficult as it is to go unbeaten at any level in football, the fact that there is no "carrot" in front of the tOSU "horses" must add to the equation. Pile on the fact of a new coaching staff, new offensive scheme, player injuries, etc. and the fact that this team is unbeaten to this point is quite simply, AMAZING.

Was our 'scandal' really of epic proportions? What would the writer consider UCF, UNC, Miami, USC, et al..... I did not like that wording in the 'rant' article.

Compared to those schools, your absolutely right DubJay. However, "epic" for tOSU is what resulted.

@BuckeyeinAA, is the glass always half empty w/you? After reading your comment, and some of your other posts, it seems to me that maybe it's time for you to re-think your place of residence. It's apparently obvious that living in Ann Arbor has turned you into a pessimist!
