My god, there is so much irony in that picture. I don’t even know where to begin. Awesome!

The kid on the left and in the center must have won some contest at their local middle school to accompany the Buckeyes at the BCS Championship Game. They look about 21 years old – combined.

This is the greatest picture of all time!

Obvious now why tOSU lost to UF & LSU; dude on the left is 12.
So young Tressel couldn’t give him an Escalade, but I bet he has one of those bitchin’ tricked out vato beach cruiser bikes with rims and the whole 9.

I didn’t have the slightest idea who those people were, and after reviewing Ohio State’s roster that season, I still really don’t….and I’m an OSU fan…

The dude on the left was photoshopped in from a 10th Grade drama class production of Wildcats: The Musical wasn’t he?

@10 — Nice. I was going to go with a Clark Kellogg joke until it occurred to me that that might actually be Clark Kellogg.

Considering their team affiliation, I would’ve gone Bring It On with “You can look but don’t you hump.”

It’s not OSU’s fault everyone else gagged. There were better teams than OSU last year, OSU just managed to gag early enough that everyone else gagged after them (or twice before). For UGA fans who still feel slighted from 2007, just remember one thing…keep your cheeks together vs. UT and everything might work out this year.
I hope this or a variation thereof makes it to a countdown.

“A Bridge to Far” … 35 has to be the freaking kicker… 20 days… it might as well be 100 days….. even the fact that I am a Big Ten Fan I cannot cheer for the Fuckeyes… opps.. Buttfuckers… opps… I mean… tOSU

#48: “I gotta send this pic to my stylist.”
#56: “Why did LSU send us KY-jelly before coming out here?…”

I’m guessing that Ohio does not have child labor laws.

Holly, thank you for the Bring It On reference, but now I have a visual of Perriloux chanting “I’m wanted, I’m hot. I’m everything you’re not!”
Replace “Miles” with “Perriloux,” and it’s equally disturbing.
by gatorphunk on Aug 8, 2008 3:40 PM EDT reply actions
Which in turn I say to Perilloux, “That’s all right! That’s okay! You’re gonna pump our gas someday!”

Raise your hand if you wish your team was 4-2 in BCS Bowls and 1-2 in NCGs in the last 6 years, with the one victory coming over the best of the three teams, as Miami was the defending, undefeated NC, riding a 34 game win streak. My guess is that no one other than LSU and USC is raising their hands….exactly….
Raise your hand if you have 7 of those in your trophy case, along with 7 Heisman trophies. Bueler….Bueler…anyone?
Raise your and if you have less than 6 points in the ALL-TIME FULMER CUP STANDINGS. Florida 33, LSU 12…holla
Raise your hand if your team is 6-1 against Michigan in its last 7 games against them. Florida, Alabama, Auburn, Penn State, Wisconsin, Mich State….anyone….
Yeah we shit in coolers too…bring it on.

“Raise your hand if you have 7 of those in your trophy case, along with 7 Heisman trophies. Bueler .Bueler anyone? "
Ohio State only has one BCS championship trophy just like Florida… who won it by both stomping a mudhole in the buckeyes and making it look easy all at the same time… WORD G-MONEY

I don’t recognize any of those kids (and I do mean kids). Who knew walk-ons were invited to photo day?

Dude on the left looks like he’s about to snatch the trophy and replace it with a sack of rocks of equal size.
by gosouthgohard on Aug 8, 2008 5:13 PM EDT reply actions
Photo credits say it’s Andrew Good, Jon Thoma, and Dimitrios Makridis. Anyone?
by Holly on Aug 8, 2008 5:44 PM EDT reply actions
There is one just like it in Columbus. Next year it will be a matched set. Which one of you SEC teams wants to be first?
by Crabapple Buck on Aug 8, 2008 5:47 PM EDT reply actions
Which one of you SEC teams wants to be first?
You mean after Florida ’06 and LSU ’07? So, third?
by Holly on Aug 8, 2008 5:54 PM EDT reply actions
@Holly- That’s correct…..Good is a kicker, Thoma a punter, and Makridis was a Long Snapper
by MikeLew on Aug 8, 2008 6:02 PM EDT reply actions
I bet those guys aren’t even on the team. It’s well established that OSU fans think it’s cool for grown men to wear their favorite player’s jersey to the game/sports bar…
It’s not, BTW…

Holly, I was referring to the first SEC team to lose to tOSU in a bowl game. You know it will happen someday. We’ll never forget the first one.
by Crabapple Buck on Aug 8, 2008 6:14 PM EDT reply actions
Oh, special teamers. Well, that explains it. They’d be starting offensive linemen on most Big Ten teams, in all honesty.

I thought the same thing. And that hat would cover his head and entire face.

Fulmer Cup update:
I just found this today, from a couple days ago -
http://community.post-gazette.com/blogs/collegesports/archive/2008/08/02/wvupdate-for-openers.aspx
“In the Oops category, receiver Kendall Washington is listed in the Mountaineers ’ 2008 media guide, headshot and bio and everything on page 94, even though he hasnt been with the program since May and seemingly wont be back particularly since he ended July in the Stark County jail in his native Ohio…”
Is anyone actually dumb enough to fall for this? How could he be any more “on the team” short of wearing his uniform to the murder? You don’t “accidently” include ex-players in your media guide that have been dismissed “months” before. Its garbage.
WVU is getting JOBBED. And after what we did to them in the Backyard Brawl, they’re due to finally win a national championship…even if its of a different sort. I can’t believe you’re going to let your SEC bias overcome the TRUTH.
THEY KILL PEOPLE TO WIN. THEY WANT IT MORE.
Someone provide ONE piece of evidence that says he wasn’t on the team, written BEFORE he killed someone. ONE. WVU is making a MOCKERY of a serious matter. The Fulmer Cup needs credibility.

I’m not here to defend WVU…
I do this sort of thing for a living and yes, it may be possible that he was dumped in May and he still ended up in the media guide. These types of publications are laid out, and usually printed, months in advance. Or it may have fallen through the cracks, so to speak, in SID’s office. If the guide was ready to go to the printer in May, someone may have neglected to pull his bio.

Orrrrrrr, the couch burning hillbillies lied, and he was just on double secret probation.

Or we all need to chillax, and focus on what’s important here, which is how soon we can get “THEY KILL PEOPLE TO WIN. THEY WANT IT MORE.” on a t-shirt.

Has anyone mentioned that the kid on the left looks like he is 12.

Was this picture photoshopped? Or was this a remake of the tOSU Temple of Doom where they try to grab the crystal, and then get rolled over by an SEC Stone?

The kid on the left looks like he has seen and is about to touch his first pair of breasts.

Not sure which was worse, the jorts or the jort capris.

Holly,
So when Ohio State rolls at USC, you do understand the wrath that USC will face from the SEC, don’t you?
It may not be logical, but logic has never been the strong attribute of SEC fans.
by PoeMcFuckinNoe on Aug 9, 2008 1:37 PM EDT reply actions
you do understand the wrath that USC will face from the SEC, dont you?
Meh, not particularly. We’ve got our own schedules to howl over. I personally will remain completely oblivious to anything not wearing orange until we’re through with Florida and Auburn. (Or until they’re through with us, rather. Ow.)

Christ, this whole profound-quote-applied-haphazardly-to-college-football thing is tiresome. You came across all these quotes honest, right? Meaning: You didn’t look in Bartlett’s for them? Right.

@chmorgan: We get them all from your mother, who spits them out verbatim while we rail her over the kitchen sink. She’s a polymath, that woman.
(Of course we look them up.)
