    Oh ignorant one, show us where I said Ohio State didn't play a big OOC game every year?

    YOUR exact words, "Are playing 3 MAC level or worse teams going to prepare the team for Big Ten Games?"

    Ohio State since going to the 13 game schedule.

    2006 - Northern Illinois, Bowling Green, Cincinnati(when scheduled UC was considered on the level of a good MAC team)
    2007 - Youngstown State, Akron, Kent State
    2008 - Youngstown State, Ohio U, Troy
    2009 - Navy(when scheduled they were akin to a good MAC school), Toledo, New Mexico State(several MAC schools could beat them)
    This year - Marshall, Eastern Michigan, Ohio U

    In the future don't be lazy and open your mouth w/o due diligence research concerning Ohio State. You will embarrass yourself once again.

    In terms of scheduling, it would be nice to see big schools play 2 big teams, but if the Big Ten goes to a 9 game conference schedule that makes it tougher. At the same time, 2 of the 3 can't be bad MAC teams either (Eastern Michigan is the worst team in 1-A football).

    Agreed 100%. OSU travels VERY well, the Fiesta Bowls were evidence of that.

    No shit clown. I asked in which one of the big ten championship seasons did they play 3 MAC level schools without a big time opponent. The MAC schools do nothing to prepare them for the Big Ten season, unless you admit half the teams are MAC worthy. What research do I need to do? I know very well who OSU has played in their preseason schedule. Maybe you should work on your reading comprehension. You are the only one embarrassing yourself here.

    If you don't consider Washington big time, then 2007 would qualify. 4-8 Washington was the best ooc team they played that year.

    who asked you???

  • karen lotz
    I do include Washington. The game was scheduled how far in advance? They are a BCS school who has a pretty good history if you have a clue. Also you have to take in account Tyrone being Washington's head coach when mentioning their 4-8 record.

    No shit clown???? You have made a complete fool of yourself. You asked how playing 3 MAC or similar schools could prepare Ohio State for their Big Ten schedule. You then doubted Ohio State scheduled 3 MAC or similar schools in a season. I proved they did. Ohio State's "3 MAC school" schedule OBVIOUSLY has prepared Ohio State for their Big Ten schedule.

    ONE MORE TIME FOR THE IGNORAMUS

    Ohio State has won FIVE Big Ten Titles in a row and has a Big Ten record of 36-4 in those years.

    PROVE to us how Ohio State could have been better prepared for the past five Big Ten seasons.

    The games against MAC bottom feeders are nothing but scrimmages. Playing games against teams like USC, Texas, Miami etc are how they test themselves. I ask you again, when did OSU play 3 MAC schools without playing a program like USC, Texas, Miami etc? Please PROVE to us you can read.

    How they could have been better prepared for past Big Ten seasons? Could have watched tape on how to beat Purdue or maybe work with Pryor on how to read a defense or hit an 8 yard out.

    Maybe it was scheduled in 1991 when they won their National Championship.

    Hey....one of your longer sentences!
  • Big Gain
    Dummy, go back and read your post of 08.08.2010 11:26PM. No mention of anything other than playing 3 MAC schools. It is a GIVEN that Ohio State ALWAYS plays a top tier OOC game. You were questioning the validity and the FACT of playing 3 MAC schools. Please PROVE to us you aren't a LIAR.

    YOU CAN NOT PROVE to us if Ohio State didn't play 3 MAC schools they would have won the Purdue game. YOU CAN NOT PROVE to us Pryor would have been a better QB in the Purdue game if they didn't play 3 MAC schools. You are foolish to pretend you're a psychic.

    To be fair, they always put a team from a top tier conference in for their 4th OOC game, but up until about 5-10 years ago it was usually a team that was middle of the road to poor in said top tier conference. The top teams in top conferences strategy is fairly recent for them (but give them credit, that is more than some elite teams schedule OOC)

    Also, he can't be lying because it can neither be proven true nor false. He is making an assumption, but not telling a lie :D

    Obviously OSU has done insanely good in the Big Ten, but I hate when Big Ten fans of ANY school use the "X titles in a row" argument, given they still give split titles (unlike anyone else). If there were any tiebreakers in place, PSU gets 2 of those 5 (and if my aunt had balls she'd be my uncle, I know...). Does this change the AMAZING 36-4 mark? Absolutely not, but the "X in a row" is definitely diluted in the Big Ten.

    In bold you will find mention of something other than playing 3 MAC schools. Maybe you have trouble reading.

    slingshot4ever;445893 wrote:^^^^^

    Unfortunately, I think you will stop seeing OSU schedule these big OOC games once Delaney switches it to a 9 game conference schedule instead of just 8.
    karen lotz;445906 wrote:That would be dumb IMO. Are three MAC level or worse teams going to prepare the team for Big Ten games? I hate the fact that ND is playing Tulsa and WMU this year and with some of the other teams on the schedule recently. Army I don't have an issue with because of the history between the two schools. Swarbrick has been working at getting the schedule back to where it was. Kevin White was a moron and played just as big of a part in Notre Dame's recent struggles as Tyrone and Chuck.

    I can only assume you meant to reference the second post quoted here of mine. Again, if you can read, which is questionable at this point, follow these posts. I said playing 3 MAC level schools would be bad for OSU after slingshot said he thought they wouldn't have the big OOC game. This is after I gave them credit for the big OOC games they have already played and have scheduled to play. WHO is the DUMMY now? It is NOT a GIVEN that Ohio State ALWAYS plays a top tier OOC game either.

    3 of those have been shared

    So? you'll have that when there is no conference title game...
  • LJ
    I don't get where someone said that delany would change it from 8 conference games to 9?

    You have 5 divisional games
    1 rivalry game
    2 interdivsional games
    and the championship game doesn't count.

    that's 8.
  • karen lotz
    I'll try to find a link, but I know I did read somewhere other than OC that they wanted to go to 9 game Big Ten schedule.
  • karen lotz
    http://www.cougcenter.com/2010/8/3/1603076/jim-delany-big-ten-should-have-9

    Likely won't be 9 games until 2-3 seasons from now.

    the only thing I read was the divisional games and 3 interdivisional games, which would be 8. One of those 3 would be a rivalry game.

    hmm, i hadn't seen that. Maybe because i really haven't read the theoreticals past 2012

    Ok, so how does that change what i said? I don't pay attention to anything past 2012 right now that is not set in stone. it may take 20 years to happen or may not even happen.

    It doesn't, I took your statement as if you were saying we were making shit up. No big deal and you are right that it might not come to fruition.
