Interesting thread on a Florida forum-Ref/Athlete incident

[JRutledge]

Once again I agree with JR. Why take the word of some cowardly fans that would never put their name behind what happen in the incident?

Peace

There's a ton of these fanboy forums infesting the net. And every damn one of 'em has interminable threads about how the mean ol' officials screwed their favorite team.

And we'll also get 'em showing up here in March when the NCAA's start. And again when the NBA playoffs start. Same old, same old. Nothing ever changes.

Thank you, Solomon.

I am officially old. A lady at church referred to me as an "old family friend".

The three times when I felt I had become "officially old."

1. I was in my twenties and couldn't convince some of the local high school kids
that it was not necessary to call me sir.

2. I was riding through a college campus, and the girls all looked like kids.

3. One of the moms of a boy in the same age group as my son addressed me as
sir.

Good idea. Turn the kids toward music. Less violence there.

What are you talking about? I can't even turn on the radio these days without being inundated with sax and violins.

While I was happy to see UM win their bowl game I take exception to your remark about OSU representing the Big 10. At least the Buckeyes made it to the Big Game.

And they did win the state of Ohio championship.

osu 38 - Youngstown State 6

osu 20 - Akron 2

osu 48 - Kent 3

Outstanding. Maybe they can get Oberlin, Hiram and Findlay on next years schedule.

MCJB:

With all due respect please stay out of the Hatfield-McCoy fued between Rut and I. Rut is a graduate of "that school up north."

I am a native of Youngstown, Ohio, which makes a me a life long fan of both Youngstown State (Class of 1980 in Civil Engineering) and Ohio State. In the 15 years that Jim Tressel was at YSU he took the Penguins to the Div. I-AA title game 6 times and winning the championship 4 times. Tressel has taken OSU to the Div. I-A title game 3 times and has only lost to "that team up north" only once during his tenure at OSU. My comment to Rut refers to that fact and the fact that at least OSU was in the Div. I-A title game and "that school up north" was not.

If you aren't a part of the feud don't get in the middle of it because you could become colateral damage.

And there is a good reason that OSU played YSU. Years ago, after OSU had finally started playing in-state Div. I-A schools in football, John Cooper (the then so-called football coach at OSU) was asked at a press conference in Columbus when he was going to play YSU? His response was the next time they win the Div. I-AA National Championship. YSU won the title that year. Cooper never called and when YSU tried to contact Cooper, he kept ducking the phone calls. YSU fans have tradionally been OSU fans.
