Ohio State Is Doing Exactly What They Needed to Do

Damn I was rooting for the underdog OSU and Maurice Clarett too but you seriously got to admit that they were robbed on that last call. HORRIBLE OFFICIATING. As for Manny vs. Cat, wow, you guys sure took up a lot of space in this thread. I kept pressing next and next and next and here I am on page 8 and I see that half the pages were full of back and forth shots from Manny and Cat. Clutch should make a new "battle" forum.

 

With all due respect....ahem.....the Holocaust, people, the Holocaust. A blown call by the refs is not "the biggest ****ing injustice in the whole ****ing world." It's not even the worst thing in the sports world. That would be the Oilers loss to the Bills ten years ago.


I feel your pain, Manny. It was a bad call to decide the game, though, in fairness, Miami got a make-up call the next series. As an avowed indifferent observer of the game, I think this was an amazing game.

 

No problem, Manny. Anytime I can help you further your reputation as a drama queen, just let me know. By the way, I would seriously like to know your definition of trolling, because from everything I have read by Cat in this thread, he wasn't doing it.

 

I'd like to stay out of this thread, but this is nuts.

If I was trolling, don't you think one other person in this thread would have recognize it? I don't troll. But, you've been at me for about a month now. If you don't remember, it happened in a thread about the Heisman, where I said I hoped Dorsey didn't win. I remember being called "a baby" and all sorts of similar adjectives to describe how I blamed the officials or other factors for some of my teams struggles, instead of taking responsibility for it. (you never showed a specific example, but obviously the Lakers-Kings is the first thing that comes to mind)

I had tried to generally ignore you lately, because it was obvious you were on the edge. However, in this thread, you did the exact same thing you've been criticizing me for, and you can't expect anyone to ignore it the way you've complained in the past month.

All I said was "I thought officials couldn't decide ballgames?" You've implied that for a month when arguing with me, and now you're saying the opposite. If it's being a troll to respond, then I guess you were "deliberately trolling" in the first place.

Also, do you know what a ****ing moron you look like with the "member on crack" comments? Come on, if I'm such a troll, surely you can come up with an original and creative insult besides the word "jabroni".

 

If replying to other people bashing me or OU is antagonizing and rubbing it in, well, then, uhh........

 

First, it was a joke (notice the smilie at the end). Second of all, in 2002, the overall record has just as much weight as 2000. That game is long over and done with.

Also, Clutch, I want to ask you something. How am I supposed to have a defense when I have no search function? I'd like to look up all the times that I did say congratulations immediately after losing a game and didn't blame the offcials or other factors, but obviously I can't. What am I supposed to do, spend an entire day manually going through every thread?

I would prefer that you not speak for me, but whatever. At the time, I did not feel like posting again. I had been up since 6 in the morning, on about 4 hours sleep, and after about a 5 hour drive back from Dallas. The idea of having to go through this with you in many threads wasn't appealing.

I regret it the next day, but I said to myself that I would try and honor my word, and just occasionally post. Which I did. But when I'm personally called out by someone who's doing the same thing they criticized me for doing... how can you expect anyone not to respond. And as far as no one caring... do you have surveillance over my instant messaging? My emails? My chat? If not, I'd prefer you not try and tell me that.

I don't ****ing want pity. I'd simply like to be able to post in a thread, like everyone else here, without you there to try and pick every part apart. I'm not sure what the hell you want me to do, still. I can be a jackass. I overreact after games, I make excuses. But, given time, I usually do give credit to the other team for winning, except in rare cases (Lakers-Kings). If you would tell me what you wanted me to do, please do, cause it's hard for me to see what I'm denying that you're accusing me of. With a few exceptions, most of it has been dead on.

Also, I'd prefer to not be known as "on crack" since I've never smoked in my entire life. You would think anyone would deserve that much.

 

I would agree with the Holocaust being the biggest injustice in the world.

But in my mind, the Tuck Rule is the biggest injustice in the sports world. The Houston Oilers blew a huge lead, I didn't see the refs out there handing Frank Reich steriods.

The Oilers blew that game, not the refs.

 

Looks like Rex Grossman was watching last night.

He's declared early for the NFL draft.


Grossman to make formal announcement next week
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

University of Florida quarterback Rex Grossman has decided to forego his final season of college eligibility, ESPN.com has learned, and will formally announce that intention next week.

One of the leading passers in SEC history and a starter for most of the last three seasons, Grossman informed coach John Zook of his decision within the past two days, and will not reconsider.

Grossman, 22, is prepared to file the appropriate paperwork with NFL officials next week. Underclass players must declare their intentions and submit the relevant documents by Jan. 15. Grossman and his family have spent considerable time in the past weeks counseling with various football experts about his NFL potential.

His decision adds another highly regarded passer to what could be a solid quarterback draft class. Because he is an underclass player, scouts contacted Saturday by ESPN.com declined to comment for attribution on Grossman's likely draft status, but one general manager generically referred to him as "a first day guy." The top three rounds of the draft are held on the first day of the lottery.

Conventional wisdom is that two college seniors, Carson Palmer of Southern California and Marshall's Byron Leftwich, will be the first quarterbacks to go off the board on draft day. After that, it is anyone's guess as to how the other quarterbacks will be selected.

In three college seasons, Grossman completed 677 of 1,110 passes for 9,164 yards, with 77 touchdown passes and 36 interceptions. A Bloomington, Ind., native, Grossman was the Heisman Trophy runner-up in 2001 and posted a 23-9 record as a starter.

This season, Grossman completed 287 of 503 passes for 3,402 yards, with 22 touchdown passes and 17 interceptions.

As is the case with most players, Grossman will have an opportunity to display his talents for NFL scouts in postseason workouts. Scouts contacted Saturday said they expect, once Grossman officially commits to the draft, he will be invited to the predraft combines in February.

 

jeebus clutch you have proven enough hypocrisy in TheCat to make richard nixon and bill clinton both look like straight shooters!!! if it were me I would not have taken off his ban after he tried to get every one to revolt against you & clutchcity in chat.

congradulations to OSU!!! it was a phenom game last night even with the bad calls.

 

I thought the call was questionable, even the announcers did, but I could care less now that it is over.
The Cat, how did you get a 'Member on Crack' title? That is messed up.

 

What the hell?

I guess the entire chat (from a year ago, I might add) should be banned, then. We were all upset, and it was a freaking joke that people greatly misinterpreted.

Unless you are in the chat on a consistent basis (not during games) and know the context of the discussions that go on in there, then you're not really in a position to comment.

 

Cat,
Allright,I'll be the 2nd person to say you were trolling......

Just when I thought you could'nt make yourself look like a bigger fool than you've already shown yourself to be,you did. Congrats.

 

The Cat did try to stir up a "revolt" against the site with about 6 people in the chat room, telling them to post on the BBS a request for users of the board to come to the chat room where he held sermon against me (a chat transcript I still have).

Is it possible that I could see this?

 

I know.

 

Actually, there were two plays that dramatically helped the Bills win. Once, Beebe ran out of bounds, then back inbounds to catch a long pass. That's illegal. Then one time he caught the ball on the ground, an Oiler player touched him while he was on the ground, he got up and ran (possibly for a TD, but definitely a long way). You know when you're touched and you're on the ground, then the play should be whistled dead, right?

Anyone have a tape of that game...I'd like to see those two plays.

 

I'd have to agree with this. Quite a few people on the board are this way, dig their feet in and wont relent, ever.

Like it's so horrible to not be right every once in a while. Or to even have a difference of opinion. Not everyone has to agree or is stupid if they don't.


blah blah blah.

kudos to Clutch for using my fav phrase ever, "pity party".

I want a funny member title.
