<P>As a Buckeye, I want to apologize for the OSU football
program.</FONT></STRONG><FONT size=2> </P></FONT><FONT face="Comic Sans MS"
size=2><STRONG>
<P><BR></FONT><FONT face="Comic Sans MS" color=#ff0000 size=5>After listening to
many at ESPN, and a number of national sports talk radio show hosts over the
weekend, I want to apologize for the Buckeyes being <BR>12-and-0.</FONT><FONT
face="Comic Sans MS" size=2> </P></FONT><FONT face="Comic Sans MS" color=#ff0000
size=5>
<P>I also want to apologize for the program beating six of the top 25 best
offenses so far this season. After listening to all of these guys, I won't name
names (you know who they are), I now realize that OSU's schedule must not have
been very good.</FONT><FONT face="Comic Sans MS" size=2> </P></FONT><FONT
face="Comic Sans MS" color=#ff0000 size=5>
<P>Someone within the program should say they are sorry for beating Texas Tech
and the fourth ranked offense in the country. And of course Tech has put up
those numbers against some weak teams, including Texas and Texas A-&-M. OSU
was only leading 38-7 after three quarters and Tech's lone TD while the game was
still a contest came on a great play their QB made on 4th and 2.</FONT><FONT
face="Comic Sans MS" size=2> </P></FONT><FONT face="Comic Sans MS" color=#ff0000
size=5>
<P>Apologies go out to WSU and Jason Gesser. OSU didn't realize you were going
to finish the season as the Pac-10 champion. If the Buckeyes had realized what
the rest of the nation is saying about them, which is they suck, they would have
just rolled over for Gesser and the 11th ranked offense in the country. Shame on
the Buckeyes for giving them that <BR>25-7 beating. I know the Bucks are
sorry.</FONT><FONT face="Comic Sans MS" size=2> </P></FONT><FONT
face="Comic Sans MS" color=#ff0000 size=5>
<P>OSU owes apologies to Purdue's 10th ranked offense, which they mistakenly
held to <BR>6 points and no touchdowns. Ditto to Illinois' 9th ranked offense,
which put up an eye popping 16 points in four-plus quarters.</FONT><FONT
face="Comic Sans MS" size=2> </P></FONT><FONT face="Comic Sans MS" color=#ff0000
size=5>
<P>Hey PSU and the 15th rated offense, OSU is sorry for getting lucky and
beating you.<BR>The Buckeyes now know that Larry Johnson is the best back in the
nation, which I actually believe, they didn't mean to hold him to 66 yards. Tell
him they're sorry and didn't mean to interrupt his streak of setting Penn St.
rushing records.<BR>That happened before the Bucks realized they
suck.</FONT><FONT face="Comic Sans MS" size=2> </P></FONT><FONT
face="Comic Sans MS" color=#ff0000 size=5>
<P>According to the latest stats after this weekend's games, Ohio State has
defeated the 4th (Texas Tech held to 21 points, at least 7 of which came late in
the 4th Quarter against OSU's 3rd string D), 9th (Purdue held to <BR>6 points),
10th (Illinois, held to 16 points), 11th (Washington State, held to 7 points),
15th (Penn St., held to 7 points), 23rd (UC, held to <BR>19 points), & 46th
(Minnesota, 3 points) rated offenses.</FONT><FONT face="Comic Sans MS" size=2>
</P></FONT><FONT face="Comic Sans MS" color=#ff0000 size=5>
<P>The Bucks now know all of this. If they are lucky enough to beat a dominating
<BR>9-and-2 team, which has won four games by three points, OSU will turn down
the invitation to the game out in the desert. After listening to all of the
"experts" over the last week OSU has realized it can't play football. Thanks for
clearing this misunderstanding for them. Please strike the Buckeyes from the
polls.<BR>Don't let the fact that the Buckeyes have faced three Heisman Trophy
candidates -- Larry Johnson, Jason Gesser and Kliff Kingsbury, dominating all
three -- stand in your way.</FONT><FONT face="Comic Sans MS" size=2>
</P></FONT><FONT face="Comic Sans MS" color=#ff0000 size=5>
<P>I mean, clearly, we're not even the best team in the Big Ten correct?<BR>Iowa
has played a tougher schedule correct? Their non-conference schedule included
Akron, Miami (OH), Iowa State, & Utah State. Oh wait, no that can't be true
because Ohio State played Texas Tech (Potential Big <BR>12 champion), Washington
State (probable PAC-10 Champion), Kent St. and UC. Just last week "experts" were
claiming Texas could beat OSU head to head, could they not even beat Texas
Tech?</FONT><FONT face="Comic Sans MS" size=2> </P></FONT><FONT
face="Comic Sans MS" color=#ff0000 size=5>
<P>IF, we are lucky enough to overcome the "Michigan" stigma and produce a
victory this Saturday.....please continue to doubt us all the way to Arizona
with a healthy Maurice Clarett.</FONT><FONT face="Comic Sans MS" size=2>
</P></FONT><FONT face="Comic Sans MS" color=#ff0000 size=5>
<P>In closing, does anyone know what Illinois, Purdue, PSU and Minnesota all
have in common? Answer: They all were leading the conference in offense the week
before OSU played them Go Bucks!!! In Tress We Trust.</FONT><FONT
