No, there is a diffrence between Autisim and an ego. I should know, I have both.

TO wasn't like this when he was in college, only his pro years have done this. I've followed this on ESPN, and he just has an ego.

TO is like this because he saw his idol banished into the depths of hell(Oakland). It's tough.

Just got back from Lincoln Nebraska. I got to see my Horns win a fantastic game in the last 30 seconds on the leg of a walk-on sopmore. Had a great time! Nebraska fans were super friendly, in spite of losing to us at home for third time in a row.

nice to see more peeps replying to this thread.

The Buckeyes are 8-0 and so is our archrival michigan. Due to the lack of upcoming competition for both teams, it appears these 2 will be 11-0 and ranked in the top 2 when facing each other. Should be one hell of a war. I got to go to the OSU/Indiana game last saturday, and we crushed em', 44-3.

I agree with the wisky fan in this thread, that we need a playoff system in division 1-A.

My favorite things about this season so far, in addition to the Buckeyes being the toughest team in the land, are Notre Dame, the media darlings, losing to michigan and not going undefeated through the season, despite what everyone was saying; ND coach charlies weis and his "befuddlement burgers". (excellent article: http://sports.espn.go.com/espn/page2/st ... llo/061025). Also, the miami hurricanes, aka Thugs N' Drugs U, having 2 losses and BARELY beating duke, the laughing stock of Div1A football. (that brawl with FIU was an embarrassment for college football). I also like teams that you never hear much about nationally and usually not that good, being ranked and either undefeated or having one loss right now. Teams like Rutgers, Wake Forest, and Arkansas. Theres a complete shakeup in the SEC, the nations toughest conference. And in the big ten, Indiana, the annual league doormat, beat #15 ranked Iowa. Cal is giving USC a run for their money in the pac-10 this season. (about time someone does). I love college football.

-Go Buckeyes.

Eric- The old joke here is Texas will never fall into the ocean because oklahoma sucks ;) We even have a local beer called Oklahoma Sucks! http://www.burntorangenation.com/story/ ... 21339/2621

If your Bucks ever play NU in Lincoln, make the road trip. You'll have a great time. Amazing gameday atmosphere. The stadium is loud, especially when NU is on defense. There are several bars close enough to walk over and pound a few beers during halftime. Bring lots of winter gear because it's brutally cold. It snowed during the game- first time I've seen snow in years. Here are some more pics from our Nebraska trip:

Good luck the rest of the year! I can't believe it's nearly over already- three more games for us + the Big XII championship game. Maybe we'll see each other again in Glendale, Arizona.

Or not. We finished our regular season with two losses in a row and now the only way we can make the Big XII championship game is if Oklahoma State beats ou today. Image

GO COWBOYS!!

I like Penn State. Everyone in PA is a Penn State fan, unless they want to Pitt. ... Or, Ohio State I guess...

well.... the season is over and Florida won it all. Congrats to them. Ohio State embarrassed themselves in the championship, and hopefully the coaches can learn from what went so wrong.

It was still a good year for the Buckeyes.

sure was a fun season from an overall national perspective. Exciting to the end. :D

Too bad about the National Championship for OSU, I was rooting for them on the sole basis of fairness, because now there ends up.. ONE single undefeated team in the nation and there ALSO is a Nat'l Champ with 1 loss, lol. So I wouldve liked to see Ohio St. win it cause they deserved it, but clearly they didn't deserve it.

Anyways, the Oregon Ducks are my team. If we've got anything to be reckoned with, it's that Autzen home crowd, there's a very good case to be made for the hardest place in the country for visiting teams. I won't say we got the best fans, there's so many great schools with great fans, but we are up there, great fans for Oregon. This year started promising & we had that Oklahoma game totally robbed from OU and given to us, lol that was a great moment. Seems like we all here hate OU & I always have, but ever since that game I actually felt sorry for the b@stards, lol. Well eventually the season fell apart miserably for the Ducks ending in a Bowl blowout but eh, there was some great moments this year & we got a back named Stewart whose only Soph & possibly a future Heisman candidate. So Go Ducks! Now I'm trying to get more Ducks shirts & hats, cause I also happen to look good in Green! The Ducks even make me look good, it was a natural partnership.

on the contrary, I am a HUGE fan and student of Georgia Tech.

Too bad we had such a disappointing finish. :(
