I'm sure many of you were huddled around TVs at friends' houses or bars near Ohio State. Some of those bars are like second homes to many of you... providing perfect venues for cheering on the Bucks when you can't actually be at the game.<br /> If you are ever looking to pick up a unique commemorative poster to help you remember all of the good times you have had at the bars around OSU, look no further. BUCKEYEBARPOSTERS.com has the coolest poster for fans of Ohio State football and the bar scene around OSU.<br /> Go to <a href="http://www.buckeyebarposters.com" rel="nofollow">http://www.buckeyebarposters.com</a> today to check it out.

There doesn't see to be another team that I can think of in Rose Bowl history where the fans are so passionate about football. Even when Notre Dame fans come here, they at least shed their game gear to go to Disneyland or out to dinner. Not these Buckeyes! They probably have scarlet and grey boxers on too.</p> <p>I looked at the weather in Columbus today and thought to myself -- My God, these fans are in a heatwave out here in SoCal and I am actually wearing a jacket. Then it occurred to me that there isn't much else to do out there right now but watch football and drink beer. I was joking with a riding friend of mine about having to winterize his motorcycle. That seems so sad to me!</p> <p>Anyways -- glad you Buckeyes were able to beat those Ducks (now those are just plain strange fans altogether). But Men -- please stop wearing those goofy sandals when you come out here, for God sakes buy some flip flops!! </p> http://forum.buckeyecommentary.com/topic/if-youre-in-pasadena#post-59 Mon, 28 Dec 2009 17:27:26 +0000 SteveCoker 59@http://forum.buckeyecommentary.com/ <p>I just found out that if you wear Ohio colors they'll give you 15% off your entire bill at Gladstone's in Malibu.

Enjoy:</p> <blockquote><p>Pryor has been depressingly bad this year as our leader. Despite the fact that he did enter OSU as a quarterback, we might remember his statements during the recruitment trail: he will play any position. In fact, his verbalized intent was to spend 3 years developing as a prospective NFL talent, and leave after his junior year. Right now, his draft-stock is plummeting. Let’s begin preparing him for his NFL goal, and cut our losses in the meantime.</p> <p>We also have to recall that during high school at Jeanette, Pryor played both offensively AND defensively. In fact, here’s a quote about him from ESPN.com:</p> <p>Defensively, Pryor covers so much ground from his safety position that he makes plays on the ball you wouldn't think he could make. He has a long wingspan, long legs and is a very fluid athlete. Ball skills are excellent, and he is also a tremendous leaper, as evidenced by his skills on the hard court. As a pass rusher, he will remind you of last year's Martez Wilson.</p> <p>We also can’t rule out his role as a red-zone threat as a receiver. Recall his TD catch against Texas in the Fiesta Bowl: </p> <p><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lrZYZktLdns" rel="nofollow">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lrZYZktLdns</a> </p> <p>That catch makes you want to run to Staples and slap the “That was easy!” button about a hundred times. How is a 5’9 defensive back going to match up against a 6’6 Terrelle Pryor who runs at 4.3 speeds and jumps freakishly high? To be honest, his build and physique is most reminiscent of Calvin Johnson from Georgia Tech a couple years back: </p> <p><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AvBUKqhT0FE&amp;feature=fvst" rel="nofollow">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AvBUKqhT0FE&amp;feature=fvst</a></p> <p>Think an NFL team can’t find a use for a 6’6 receiver?</p></blockquote> http://forum.buckeyecommentary.com/topic/ohio-state-football-is-way-overrated#post-39 Sat, 19 Sep 2009 11:47:56 +0000 averageguy 39@http://forum.buckeyecommentary.com/ <p>The Buckeyes have proven that are able to lose almost all significant non-conference games, and they have done it very successfully for the last 5 years. Tressel is now a millionaire several times over, and all he cares about is making an obscene salary until he wishes to retire. He is ridiculously overpaid. The Buckeyes football program is over hyped and also under delivers. Ohio State football is nothing more than a big business receiving and spending a lot of money that could be spent 10 times better educating students. And 90% of the students who play football, or other major sports, should be awarded a B.S. in Football, Tennis, Soccer, whatever when they graduate. As a state and a country, we will never be world class until we put our money and emphasis on talents other than throwing a football, kicking a ball, etc. </p> http://forum.buckeyecommentary.com/topic/buckeye-nation-turns-to-cinncinati-bearcats#post-51 Tue, 20 Oct 2009 17:44:38 +0000 doggie 51@http://forum.buckeyecommentary.com/ <p>Top Ohio recruits now see the Bearcat program as the number one Ohio program and the school most drawing the attention of NFL scouts. They see Coach Kelly's Bearcat's as increasingly creative and versatile in leading his team to rankings previously attained only by OSU in the state. Will Cincy become the new home of the Buckeye Nation fan base abandoning an increasingly hard to watch Buckeye team? Will top players from the current floundering squad transfer to the Bearcats? The shift has started. </p> http://forum.buckeyecommentary.com/topic/question-about-donating#post-50 Tue, 13 Oct 2009 21:23:46 +0000 delux269 50@http://forum.buckeyecommentary.com/ <p>Hello, I have a question for the admins.

Trossel was clearly out coached when the coaching really counted. Trossel should do nothing but apologize to the players and Buckeye Nation for a pathetic job of preparing himself to compete. Jim Trossel was not mentally prepared for the pressure and was clueless in the final minutes of Ohio State's biggest game of the year next to Michigan. There should be no excuses for such lame coaching !</p> <p>Wake up Jim !

Runs a stupid play. 4th and 1 foot. Kicks a field goal. I want him fired. And I'm sick of Terrell Pryor. Overrated beyond belief. Maurice Clarett wasn't going to make it in the pros, but he at least had one good college year. All Terrell does is act confused. This year is a waste.</p> <p>Maybe Mike Shanahan wants to coach in college, </p> http://forum.buckeyecommentary.com/topic/sc-versus-sec#post-35 Sun, 13 Sep 2009 02:41:37 +0000 buckahoo 35@http://forum.buckeyecommentary.com/ <p>At this point I am actually hoping that USC runs the table. That's the only way the heat will get turned up to get rid of BCS. No way BCS wants to make the call to snub Texas again should they go undefeated and no way they want to deal with snubbing SC if they're undefeated, that's assuming Florida runs the table. I feel like we've been dooped for the past few years because with all the talk about USC's dominance over past 6-7 years, they haven't had to play upper tier teams like Florida, LSU or Alabama. I want to see SC match up against the "speed" from SEC. I think their offensive and defensive lines are overrated and would show against either of the top three SEC teams. But all this is a moot point, because SC will have a let down either next week at UW or against Cal or Oregon and BCS will get baled again. Hint: BCS wants Texas to run table to make up for last years shaft, and they can also showcase another two Heisman winner game between Tebow and this years winner Colt McCoy! </p> http://forum.buckeyecommentary.com/topic/too-conservative#post-34 Sun, 13 Sep 2009 02:19:51 +0000 buckahoo 34@http://forum.buckeyecommentary.com/ <p>It's too easy to play armchair quarterback and second guess after it's all over, but this "big game" non-sense has become far too psychological. Because of past shortcomings, Tressel has allowed both sides of the ball to play "not to lose" as opposed to playing to win. Be realistic, we're Ohio State. Even going back to past years peerformances, it was about the other teams psychological make-up allowing them to dominate physically. Hats off to defense. They held longer than I expected. I feel that offensive play calling left the defense on the field too long and it showed in SC's last drive. Cmon, we started the second half holding them to three and out, got the ball at midfield and reciprocated three and out. Ridiculous. We should've put SC away before halftime, and Tressel oddly enough didn't play conservative when he should have and it let SC get a cheap field goal to end the half. I think his butt hole starts to get tight in these big games now. Last two points: he has to turn Pryor loose and let him take games over. Need to recruit from inside out i.e. more beasts on oline and dline. We will finish 10-2 with outside shot at rematch at SC in Rose(cringe!!) </p> http://forum.buckeyecommentary.com/topic/new-stadium-anthem-for-the-bucks-free#post-28 Sat, 12 Sep 2009 00:52:43 +0000 jwfulmer 28@http://forum.buckeyecommentary.com/ <p>Check this out - they are giving it away free this weekend only because of the USC game.
