LOL, I never bet on the basketball Buckeyes.

I did not even pick them to get to the elite 8, but I certainly thought they had a chance against the Shockers. Oh well. 🙁
 
I am confused on how that last WS foul was a foul. The dude was standing there with his arms straight up. the OSU guy leans into him and they call a foul on WS. WTF? He didn't do anything.

They've been calling it like that all night. I agree with you as I don't think it's a foul either. But at least they're being consistently bad (and on both side of the ball).
 
I was all pissed off that I was going to be out of the country with Ohio State being in Atlanta for the Final Four. It now seems I can enjoy my vacation and not have to watch basketball.

I'm in the south and am surrounded by tons of annoying Ohio State fans. Ha. Not as bad as Alabama or Florida fans though.

I was going to say Georgia fans are the worst. They have a college sports program that really hasn't done much, but the fans act as if they rank up there with Alabama or Florida.
 
Feeling better now. Bet the BW3 near me has a bunch of backwards hat wearing Buckeye fans leaving right now.

Yeah it's probably just because I've grown up here in Cincy and been exposed to them more than any other fanbase.

I grew up in Cincinnati also, but OSU basketball was mostly irrevelant when I was young, so the fanbase was mostly UK, UC or XU back then.

Yeah, almost as bad as getting beat in the first round of the NIT.

You win some...you lose some. Still 2012 champs until next week. I'll take an Elite 8, Final 4 and Championship followed by an NIT over a 4 year period and repeat it as long as I'm alive and I'm sure that almost any other team would too.

This KY team didn't have any heart and certainly didn't care about being in the NIT. Thought that their poop didn't stink from the time they walked on campus. Throw in the fact that they had a super short bench and you've got a recipe for disaster. We will see if Coach Cal gets caught like this again....I doubt it.

Eh, I'm 32, and they've won 3 championships since I've been alive. Couldn't care less about 70's and prior.

That team is all the entire state has though, so they have to root for something. Except Kentucky Reds fans who don't root for UC basketball, annoying.
 
That post reminds me of Steeler/Yankee fans though going off about how many championships their teams have won. Like I care what they did in the 1920's, 70's....lol.
