i realized i havent posted in a while. kudos to threeyardout for keeping hope alive.
two quick things:
1) Ryan Mallett has to sit out a year. That sucks. Especially since he didnt do anything. it’s not his fault that michigan went a different direction, that rodriguez is going to institute a spread. yes, it might be his fault that he’s a big slow white guy, but still. it sucks that he has to sit out a year, but rodriguez doesnt. why should mallet be penalized?
2) i read something today that called jim tressel of ohio state no different than john cooper of ohio state…except tressel got a pass interference call leading to the national championship in 2002. that’s ridiculous. absolutely ridiculous. you’re talking about a guy who has taken you to three national championship games in 7 years. he’s 73-15 over his career, and has finished in the top 5 5 out out of the 7 year’s he’s been there. John Cooper couldnt beat michigan. Cooper choked away seasons. Cooper sniffed a national title only two of the fourteen some odd years he was there.
It just frustrates me when fans have a sense of entitlement…an unrealistic sense of entitlement. I would kill for A&M to have Ohio State’s level of success over the past 10 years. I’d say that they are only behind USC and LSU as far as dominance over the past decade, and even that’s debatable. How are they going to criticize Tressel? Who out there is better?
I also heard someone compare them to the Buffalo Bills, like that’s an insult. Sure it sucks to have lost four in a row like Buffalo did….but they made it to the top four years straight…that’s damn impressive and something that 27 out of the 29 (i think) NFL football teams could say they did. Same thing with ohio state. sure they lost two in a row…but they made it to the freakin national championship game two years in a row. that’s outstanding.
entitlement sucks. i want to kick entitlement’s butt.
