re: FWIW I enjoy the UM fans visiting here

Thanks guys! Enjoy conversing with you all as well. Feel more welcome here then on M boards! Definitely have a lot of respect for LSU and their fans, no matter what happens with all of this!

Im sure Ohio State fans would disagree,

I don't, especially if they're good posters (which you're saying they are) More variety the better. The UM fans should come over to the MSB some time. Would make things more interesting and fun.

ETA: Basically what jake said.

I agree, its nice to have another fan base on here that is not constantly trying to bash Les Miles.

yea but they are trying to steal him!

say stick around as well. With all of the Ohio st. fans that have stayed on since 2007/2008 it would make for an interesting More Sports Board

I dont have any use for The University of Ohio sTATe posters.

There are a few good ones. Most the time though it is the "Michigan will never win again....Pryor is da pwnz".

That dimwit, that they have at QB, is the epitome of "Probably should let them think I am ignorant, and never open up my mouth to confirm it". Dirty as Hell, and they have held him up as a hero for 3 yrs. Thank God RR didnt bring him in to further compound the mess we are dealing with.


Cheaty McSweatervest has turned Ohio into a clone of the state of Alabama. Cheating is par for the course. They "self report" now, so can basically get away with murder. TUOS is the spitting image of Tress' time at YSU.

If there was justice, in the NCAA, they would get the ban stick moon walking up and down their poison nut arse.

I hope LSU bags a NC next year, even if Les leaves. It would look good for Les as they would be his recruits. We obviously will not have shot at one for quite a while. If we have 9 wins next year, I would be very surprised. Les will do his best if he comes here and that is all we can ask.

Like aged wolverine, I don't get me on the topic of O$U...yuk.

I can honestly say that the OSU posters on here are much better here than typical boards, such as Scout (where I also post, though not very often), Bucknuts, etc. There are two OSU posters that are bad (even the rest of us OSU posters are annoyed by them, too) the rest are fine (and I'd say, while not everyone would agree of course, the vast majority on TD would). You should at least stop by the MSB a little and check it out.

ETA: And I think if I was a "typical Buckeye" (in your eyes) I would have responded angrily to your post, FWIW.

ETA#2: And it's not like most of the topics have anything to do with OSU/Mich, anyway, like typical college specific message boards. There's a lot of NFL, NBA, MLB, college football (overall), etc.

arent you at least a bit concerned with all the "self-reporting"

I do not follow the Big10 so Im not familiar with your customs, however be sure self reporting goes on all the time in the SEC and Les himself or the AD has self reported the LSU program.

See? There you go...that's what I'm talking about.

Thanks. Michigan fans are pretty good overall and know their stuff.

We have respect for college football and most teams and fans not from Ohio and East Lansing. I do find this board to be very similar to our boards. We call it Michigan Meltdowns.

But I have to disagree with some of you on here busting my school. Michigan is pretty good against the SEC so take it easy on us we are allowed to have 3 bad years and it has only happened a few times in over 100 years.

Also I'm a big fan of Shepard kid is going to be a player for you guys.

Go Blue!

That said, arent you at least a bit concerned with all the "self-reporting", not to mention TAT-gate, since Tress arrived?

The man is dirty. Either directly, or indirectly(as in looks the other way ala YSU).

---

As far as the tatoo gate/gold pants thing goes, of course, it's bad, but there's little evidence Tressel knew anything about it, and I don't know how it would provide a competitive advantage (so therefore, why would he advise it/what would be the point of him wanting them to do that, anyway? Only bad can come from it. Something like paying recruits to come to school (allegedly the Cam Newton thing) or extra practice time (I'm not trying to flame your school, because I believe most D-1 programs do this, you just got caught, I'm just trying to provide a clear example), I can see, because they provide an illegal, unfair advantage, but how would Tress benefit from (if he even knew about it) allowing players to sell jewelry/get tattoos?)

And while OSU does have the most minor NCAA violations of the past decade, many of them are things that are completely stupid by the NCAA. They're things that don't provide really any advantage, and things most schools probably do, but either don't report, or don't even realize is a violation. Just for example, one of the things that OSU reported was James Laurinaitis had a free lunch with the President of the University, because of an academic honor. However, because he was an athlete, he wasn't allowed to, because it was an NCAA violation. When OSU realized it was illegal, they reported it in, and JL had to pay $20 to charity for the lunch. OSU reports anything it thinks might be even the smallest of violations. It's just stupid stuff like that (mostly like that, I realize some of them are a little bigger).
