[21Guns]

Root violently, emphatically, emotionally, and passionately, AGAINST every single solitary Big Ten team, not named Penn State.

The second rule of B1G Bowl Season?

See rule number one.

I'm with you Guns. It means rooting for Pitt against Northwestern in the Pinstripe, but it is the lesser of two evils.

 

[green2623]

Well, that's not very eloquent, but there would be some eloquence in only one BIG Team winning their Bowl.

 

[Lion8286]

First rule: Ignore all 21Guns' rules.

Second rule: See first rule.

 

[21Guns]

First rule: Ignore all 21Guns' rules.

Second rule: See first rule.

And you comically, broke both of your own rules, clown. LMAO.

Can't do it.

 

[21Guns]

Can't do it.

ALSO understandable. Extreme exceptions can be made in certain situations.

 

[fairgambit]

Can't do it.

I realize you are likely in the majority, but I do it without hesitation. I despise the BigTen and every other team in it.

Wouldn't bowl wins by our opponents give stronger credence to our claim about our strength of schedule and how outstanding our season is?

That said, I cannot cheer for Michigan. I've said that when is comes to Michigan, I hope they lose every game in every varsity and club sport and that all their intramural games end in 0-0 ties. So, seasons greetings from me to the Weaselrines.

And I always cheer for Northwestern except when they play us. So Northwestern vs. Pitt... cheer for Pitt? Come on. I'm only human.

I can cheer against most of the others in a given situation, but I want to bolster our claim for being ranked #3 at the end if (ok, when!) we beat USC.

I cannot do as you request, Gunner. But that's just the latest in a long list of ways I disappoint you.

SOS does jack-diddly for us now.... I'll go "rah-rah" for this fiendish conference as soon as they give us our bowl $hare back and put the Paterno family name back on the conference championship trophy... Even then I'll root against the fvckers

Unfortunately in today's game we need strength of schedule to audition for the all powerful committee. While this ship has obviously sailed for this year, B1G bowl performance needs to be strong now to start building the case for two B1G representatives for 2017 season playoffs. There is no doubt that PSU and osu will be excellent teams next year with possibly the lone loss on either side coming from head to head against each other.

I hear ya, and I'm with ya about the conference, especially on the $ and on JVP. I'm not a conference fan either, and Delaney cemented that a couple weeks ago in Indy.
The SOS angle is purely selfish for some argument points and bragging rights, even though it's moot at this point anyway.

Plus I just have a tough time passing up an opportunity to light a little spark under Gunner's tuffet. You can understand that, I'm sure!

Sure helped us this year. Yeah right. Hope they ALL LOSE! Hope they lose by massive amounts. Hope MI gets 99 bad calls. Screw conference "loyalty".

We won the best division in the best conference in the country and it meant nothing. SOS means "screw old State". Fuuk the conference, every other team in it (in every sport), and all their fans. We stand alone, just as we always have.

That would just convince the Committee they were right in picking a team we beat over us. I hope Bama wins it all.

 

[81b&w]

I'll root for every team in the Big except the Michigans. Our opposing teams and fans have been nothing but great fans that love their school and stand by them. I just despise Harbaugh and Dantanio. Just weird creepy people

No way! No way you are true Blue and White if you ever root for Blue and Gold! What's wrong with you?

Pitt did not screw us like the BigTen did. Pitt did us no harm. The BigTen not only failed to defend us but piled on with their own sanctions. They took Joe's name off their trophy. They took our bowl money. How the hell anyone could support any other team in this gawdamn conference is beyond me.

Those "great fans" appeared here in large numbers on the wake of Sandusky and posted some of the most vile, despicable garbage imaginable.

You mean like the great pitt fans, right?

I seem to remember the pitt fans being a lot worse than the Northwestern fans.

That's actually a good point.

On the contrary old chap, you never disappoint me: You always bring fresh coca-cola's for the halftime mixers at dear old Yale!

Hey I'm with you on everything you posted except Pitt feelings came long before Big10 in 90s. We haven't beat them much lately. We haven't played them much but when we have weirdly they beat us. I really thought we'd beat them in hoops but we weren't nearly as good as they are. Sucks.

 

[21Guns]

Hey I'm with you on everything you posted except Pitt feelings came long before Big10 in 90s.

Again, I will turn your attention toward my "asterisk" exception to the rule, which applies to not only Pitt, but also Syracuse and Notre Dame. In those exceptions, both choices will be accepted as correct choices.

Now, carry on...lmao.

 

[21Guns]

I have a very clear memory of every one of them, including some of the "great fans" of Iowa, who flew Sandusky flags outside of Kinnick, and dressed in mock prison gear, inside of Kinnick, in 2012 for the Penn State game.

Edit: This refers solely to the FOOTBALL segment of their fan base, NOT the wrestling segment of their fan base, who should not be confused with their football segment.

Is this some kind of joke? If it wasn't for Pitt, we would have never been in the B1G in the first place. The B1G saved our butts after Pitt, BC, and Syrascrews gave us the original screw.

I don't remember the Pitters lobbying behind the scenes to get our sanctions lifted like Delany did. I do remember some of their esteemed alumni like Shubin and Kelly shoving it right up our a$$es and loving every minute of it. I've even lost some of my love for the Steelers after all the Pittsburgh area hate we have gotten (i.e. CorButt).

I hope Northwestern absolutely woodsheds them.

Gambit would be an actual Pitt fan, except he is known to hate the opera and the symphony and therefore he would have to go to the games.

Not to beat a dead horse but we had 2 losses - end of story. We screwed ourselves in that Pitt game letting them build that big lead in the 1st half and ended up a dropped td pass away from beating them late.
Sorry but again we need strong conference performance in the bowls now to build the case for next year - the stars are aligned for two damn good, bama level teams in conference next year.

Pitt's actions did not help us, but took nothing from us. The BigTen not only did not help us, but did take that which we had earned.
As I said in my initial post, this is about the lesser of two evils.

Except with recruits, then the National Champs part of it will have a better ring to it and will be a huge boost for Ohio State.

[BBG65]

I understand the anger against the BIG10, but will root for the conference team in most cases. We're not leaving the conference and now that we're relevant again, at some point, we have to get away from the past. I definitely will root for Northwestern over Pitt, would love to see that program with it's classless coach and horrible fans lose. Having said that, I think Pitt is a much better team than NW right now.

Pitt did not drag us into the Big Ten.

Greed did.

 

[lein]

Root for who you want, what brings you pleasure.

Strength of schedule is a poor argument though. When the Big was weak a few years ago, tOSU still got in. Washington played a poor schedule and got in. Face it, IA football rankings are as fair as those for figure skating.

You are talking now about the same Jim Delany who made Penn State wait 3 years to play in the conference, took Joe's name off a trophy, never paid us back our money, and just a few weeks ago, politicked against the champion of his own conference, to be in the playoff?

That Jim Delany? Just checking.
