    haha I saw this article and thought 'I'm going to post this on skybox.. that is, if Krebs hasn't beaten me to it.'

    All things considered, you'd think that Ohio State would be minding their own bobber... eh, whatever. They only talk about it, because it matters.

    also:
    Let's see, I think the SEC can do a lot of math. There's Alabama's 2 straight titles and 3 in 4 years. The state of Alabama has the last 4 National Champions in a row. The SEC has won the last 7 titles in a row. That's probably because they can't count. Rather than all that pesky 'new math' they just string it all together to keep it nice and tidy.

    Then there's the issue of money, what this is really all about, and again since they are vexed by those pesky math deficiencies the SEC just goes out and makes more money than anyone can count.. just to be safe.

    I gotta tell you. I know what the SEC is doing with a state and region dedicated to sports excellence. Ohio has all of those things so if I may be so bold, Gee.. what the hell are you doing?

    He's already issued an apology to Fr. Jenkins for his comments. How long ago did he open his mouth and insert his foot with comments about the Little Sisters of the Poor? Ohio State would do well to keep him away from the microphone!

    I like him.

    Obviously he's from an era when people had a sense of humor and everyone didn't have to walk around on PC eggshells. Ahhh, the good 'ole days.

    Polish jokes? Sure those are uncool, but geesh making fun of sports foes, that's fair game.

    Oh, and as a Gator, apparently I'm obligated to twist everything back to Florida somehow, so here it goes ...

    Yeah I read a comment by Marc Richt that he longs for the days when you could go around to alumni meetings and make fun of your opponent without some yahoo recording it with his cell phone and posting it online before you sit down for your rubber chicken.

    I just read that article and came here knowing that since I wasn't here a couple of days it would probably be posted. :)

    So it was, love the remarks and in the Gator tradition as seen by this board

    Way to go WZT.

    Just a question, are there no Catholic Ohio State fans? Was he talking to an audience full of Protestants?

    Looks like he has been put on notice.


    One more mistake could lead to Gordon Gee's dismissal
