So 103,000+ went to watch Ohio State beat Florida A&M by 76 points? Help explain that to me. Anyone from Ohio?

I'll answer if you promise to ask Alabama fans the same question after their game with powerhouse Chattanooga on 11/24.

Well Rojo, I suppose if you apply the same logic to running, do you plan on asking fans why they bother wathing any event in which there is a clear favorite?

I watched Haile G run his entire career. I knew he'd win every time, and usually it wasn't close.

I watched anyway.

Rojo, have you ever been to Ohio?

What else are people going to do instead of watching OSU try to have an undefeated season so they can go to the BCS Championship and get run off the field by an SEC team again?

Like in 2003?

Louisville won 72-0 today, and Baylor is up 70-7.

Did you check their attendance numbers?

I'm not sure how the attendance is counted. At the gate there are ushers scanning tickets electronically so they could either count it that way, or by the number of tickets sold. It's also pretty believable that 103,000 showed up for at least the first half. Campus is absolutely packed on game-day. A lot of people probably came to see TBDBITL band play pregame, watch OSU drub the other team for 30 minutes, see the half-time show and then leave. It's also worth pointing out that Ohio State didn't throw a pass in the second half. Their rushing core and offensive line is just that much better than Florida A&M.

Also, Louisville beat Florida International 72-0, Washington beat Idaho State 56-0, Baylor is leading Louisiana Monroe 70-7 right now and Alabama plays Colorado State tonight. Pretty down week all around.

Rojo, most people left after half time from what I heard as tOSU was winning 50 points to nothing.

But yeah, it was near a packed house.

Well, as usual, the little10 had a powerhouse schedule this week. ND, south dakota state, kent state, west michigan, san jose, florida aandm, maine, and connecticut.

Crybabies. Big ten is a joke. How can they justify paying big bucks to these wannabe rap "artists" for playing junior colleges? And losing to them ala the hillbillies of Appalachian State Junior Teachers' College. What? Are the local peewees all too busy to play the big 10 this week?

Yeah, cuz Colorado State, UMass, North Texas, and Troy (SEC opponents this week) are f'n dynasties man.

Big10 plays girlie schedules all year then whine about getting thumped in bowl games. They should never even be allowed in bowl games. Time to shut down the hype and pub for the big10 and admit that they are about on a texas high school level. Whah, crybabies, boo hoo.

Big ten are bitchasspunks for playing junior high schedules every freakin week. Sick of hearing about bigten and ourladies of south bend. Man up or retire. Bitchasspunks!

I wasn't trying to pick on Ohio State. I did actually look up Louisville (51,000) but have no idea what their capacity is and that didn't seem very impressive to me. Plus Louisville and Baylor aren't exactly traditional powers so how many fans would there be on letsrun to answer the question.

Yeah, I guess MSU never should played (and beaten) Georgia, Michigan should've never played (and beaten) Florida, and OSU should've never played (and beaten) Arkansas in recent BCS games.

From 2002-2010, the conferences are nearly even in head to head matchups in bowls (12-13). Sure, the SEC has the titles - no argument there - but to suggest the B1G is weak in bowl games is ludicrous.

Regarding non-conference schedules, you're way off base. Alabama (Colorado St, Georgia St, & Chattanooga) has about the weakest non-conference you can get. SEC is notorious for scheduling softies and refusing to come up north to play.

With Haile G, you were watching the best of all time. With Ohio State (or any of the others), you are watching a hyped up development league. I am with Rojo on this one.

Someone's drinking again. Call a talk show and ask them.

The Ohio State Pusseyes are a disgrace to the state. The season ticket holders and other fans were already complaining before the game that they are not happy playing these pathetic SUB DIVISION teams while padding their record and making millions of dollars.

I don't even listen to that garbage on the radio, but the game took over my favorite radio station. I turned back to that station when I thought the game should have long been over but they were interviewing the coach of the other team Florida Agricultural and Mechanical School. They were actually analyzing the game pretending like if a few things went their way, they could have stayed in it. What a joke for both teams.

As I have stated before U Meyer is the biggest snake weasel in college football and knows if they played a competitive schedule, he would be lucky to go 8-4 each year and would lose his 5 million dollar a year gig teaching alcoholics, women beaters, thieves, and nfl wannabes how to play football better.

I live about 40 miles away and am in the minority by not joining the CULT that is buckeye football.

Why not link drinking and Dartmouth both?

Rolling Stone did, a while before they put a Tsarnaev brother on the cover to sell product:

http://www.rollingstone.com/culture/news/confessions-of-an-ivy-league-frat-boy-inside-dartmouths-hazing-abuses-20120328

50,000+ will show up to the Spring Game. If practice were open, I'm sure that 20k or more would show regularly.

They must protect scumbag urban Meyers heart, or else he quit and move to Notre Dame. Big joke football from big ten. Spurrier vs Saban or else its a joke of a championship. Oregon OSU Mich clemson all jokes free win sec...
