HATE WEEK: OHIO $TATE

It's hate week, it's real, and it's on now.

 

The Breakdown:

 

WHO

 

Photobucket


The Ohio State Way.
Source: Not the NCAA Committee on Infractions, apparently
.


WHO: Ohio $tate University, or "The reason all of this Mainstream Media Hate on the Big Ten is Happening University."  This team's continued ability to NOT show up against teams with less than three losses has negated any and all of the rest of the Big Ten's success over the past four years.  So we didn't pull it out in the Rose Bowl last year, do you really think it would have changed anyone's perception of the conference since the Buckeyes lost to Texas?  This team may have fallen to third place in the Big Ten standings, but they are still the alpha dog in this fight.  Penn State, Michigan, Nebraska, Oklahoma, Miami, Notre Dame... all of these teams know what it's like to go through a some dark years.  Buckeye fans are nervous, they know their team isn't performing up to par, that they might be entering a period of uncertainty.  Every downturn starts with a double-whammy: a HORROR loss to a terrible team (Michigan v App State, Penn State v Toledo), and a demolishing loss to a top-rated squad.  They had the first shoe drop with the loss to Purdue, but they still lack that game, that 29-5 beatdown to USC that leaves you exposed and weak, that 39-7 beatdown to Oregon that shows Your Way is dated and on its way out.  Penn State has the skills to give them that soulcrushing loss that sends them bleary-eyed to Alamo Bowl, wondering what happened to their run to the championship.  It's time to give them what they deserve.

Star-divide



If their coach was a West German music act from the late ‘70s/early ‘80s:

 

 

Come to Ohio $chtaten!

The fourth in a six-part series.  Unlike previous editions of ITCWAWGMAFTL70s/E80s, this movie actually features Ohio State Buckeyes coach Jim Tressel.  After twenty seconds of intro by a guy in the official "poser rebel" wardrobe of 1978, he shakes the hand of Jim Tressel, decked out in a Buckeye red shirt.  Look!  No sweater vest!  Then, he and future assistant coaches begin to perform their recruiting pitch to a live TV audience.  It's a bit difficult to understand, but they essentially discuss their offensive game plan while mimicking one of the many iso plays away from motion that they've run for the past decade.  Hey it worked to get Terrell Pryor (and provided the impetus for one of Mike Myers funniest skits), so they must have something here.

 

WHAT

 

Photobucket

 

The The looks up The in thesaurus for The Ohio $tate.
Source: The Internet.



WHAT:  The.  You know what I'm talking about: you're at home, settling down early in the first quarter to watch Sunday Night Football when the players state their names and the university/high school where they played. Up comes some player who cocks one eyebrow, smirks at the camera, and goes "(name), THE Ohio $tate University."  As if we're supposed to be blown back by their use of a definite article.  The Ohio $tate University.  Thanks.  Without the "the" I'd have figured it was one of many potential Ohio $tates.  Perhaps you went to Ohio $tate University de Paraguay.  Good thing you spelled it out for me, genius.

Here's what you really spelled out: "I'm a conceited idiot, and I think I'm more specialer than you."  Congratulations, you sold me!

WHERE

 

Photobucket

 

The first image that comes up in a google image search for "Happy Valley."  Man, it's changed since I was last there!
Source: Google Images.  Perhaps I need to go to Bing.

 

WHERE:  On the Banks of the Mighty Spring Creek.  OK, just above it and that old old iron forge thing next to College Ave and Porter Road.  This is a home game and is a rare non-crappy 2009 opponent.  For once, there is NO RAIN IN THE FORECAST!  So we have a big time opponent, a BCS bowl appearance on the line, mild weather, and a good start time.  Anything less than a full, crazy, wild crowd in the Best Stadium in the Country (it's on Bleacher Report so it must be true) is impossible.  Let's give Turkish Soccer a run for their money. PSU is 5-4 all time at State College in the Penn State-Ohio $tate rivalry and was embarrassed the last time the Buckeyes came to town in a 37-17 loss.  This will change.

WHEN

 

Photobucket

November Sunset and Moonrise at Penn State
Source: http://live.psu.edu/image/23030



WHEN: 3:30pm Eastern on the ABC/ESPN system.  Restrictions on night games be damned, this is State College in November.  It means the lights will be on, the crowd will be glowing white, and Pryor will be introduced to tall fescue by Jared Odrick.  Repeatedly.  Which brings me to...

WHY

WHY:  If you have to ask why, then you haven't been following Penn State football long enough.  I'll try to bring you up to speed. Why?  Because of "four consecutive Big Ten titles".  Because 324 happened against Ohio $tate.  Because of 1912.  Because of the Big 33.  Because we're too country.  Because 63-14.  Because 63 points leaves us wanting 70.  Because of the scene.  Because of the stakes.  Because they bring out the best in us.  Because you don't need a Hate Week post to know it's Hate Week.  Because its our season.  Because we are not normal.  Because We Are.  Penn State!  Hate. Hate! HATE! HATE!

There's a difference between "trolling" and making a lame joke.

Insinuating that Todd Boeckman was a better quarterback than Troy Smith = trolling

Insinuating that Todd Boeckman was ever anything approaching a legend = lame joke

Interesting..

Is your reason naturally flawed when the best quarterback you’ve ever had was Mike Tomczak?

Deus nobiscum, quis contra?

by chocochuck02 on Nov 3, 2009 6:09 PM EST up reply actions   0 recs

Ignoring the complete non-sequitur

That depends on how you define “quarterback”, and how you judge the value of one.

www.wewillalwayshavetempe.com

by Sam @ WWAHT on Nov 3, 2009 6:11 PM EST up reply actions   0 recs

Define Quarterback:

Wikipedia:

Quarterback (originally called blocking back1) is a position in American and Canadian football. Quarterbacks are members of the offensive team and line up directly behind the center, in the middle of the offensive line. Quarterbacks are the leaders of the offensive team, responsible for calling the play in the huddle. They initiate almost all plays by receiving the ball from the center, although occasionally teams will use a ‘direct snap’ (usually as a trick play) to another offensive player. Once the quarterback receives the snap, he can run with the ball, hand the ball to another player or attempt a forward pass.

As for value? That part is much more subjective. Statistics form a large base for the value judgment primarily: Yds, Completion %, Tds, Rushing Yds, Punting Average, and other positional stats. Wins and losses by a starter are also often used to judge how well they lead their team, especially in big games. There is also an exterior factor known as “it” that many use to describe the “clutchness” and ability to make plays of a QB. (see: Matt Millen and Taint Forcier). The accolades on accumulates can indicate their subjective value(such as All American, Heisman, All Conference, recruiting rank, draft slot, etc). In the end it is up to each person to make a “value” judgment on a particular QB, but the process above forms the basis for most opinions on a QB’s value.

Um, thanks, I guess

But the only way you can say Mike Tomczak is “our best QB ever” is if you compare the longevity of his pro career to the longevity of everyone else’s. As far as what he meant to Ohio State, he didn’t quite revolutionize the position.

www.wewillalwayshavetempe.com

by Sam @ WWAHT on Nov 3, 2009 6:50 PM EST up reply actions   0 recs

Oh I didn't mean Tomczak in particular.

I just thought you were genuinely confused as to what a “quarterback” was, as opposed to “arm-punter.”

See what I did there? It was an attempted joke about your team’s current quarterback, because its hate week. It may not have landed, but I’m pretty self serving with my humor anyways.

Welp, good luck on saturday, the banter has been delightful.

Well, at Ohio State, "quarterback" has many definitions

mostly variations on “expert handoff guy” (which Pryor definitely is, along with the requisite arm punting). But you know the deal.

Good luck to you, too. Just. you know, not that much luck.

Jared Allen

Back during training camp when ESPN made up reports of a “schism” in the Vikings locker room over Brett Favre being brought in to be the QB, Jared Allen had another hilarious quote, something like, “Schism? What’s that? None of us had ever heard of that word before today. When I first heard you guys ask us about it today I thought it was an STD or something.” Jared Allen 1, ESPN fake news 0. I love that guy. Especially when he’s sacking a Packers QB fifteen gazillion times per game.

Unless you open up an unholy can of 1994 asswhoopin’ (unlikely), this loss won’t sting half as much as dropping one to a 1-5 team. You guys are respectable, Purdue is not.

For what it’s worth, this is the second game this year that in which I think far less than 50 percent of the fanbase is confident we’ll win. Egos are far more bruised than you let on.

Don't got to be a rival for me to hate tOSU

But that brings up a good question on what makes a rivalry?

Bordering schools? Shared recruiting grounds? Same Conference? Lengthy History? Genuine Hatred? Even results without one sided domination? High Stakes games?

NCAA 2010 says we are rivals, I mean that has to count right? Right?

Anyways, rivalry/non rivalry, tOSU is my mean neighbor, they nearly took away Adam Taliaferro’s ability to walk, they are uber successful old gaurd and we are the still newbie kid in the conference, they take recruits from our fertile recruiting grounds, etc.

Call it what you will, but I have plenty of reasons to hate tOSU.

Adam Taliaferro can walk now, just to clarify

and you don’t have to be a rival to get a Hate Week, just have to be our next opponent.

As for rivals, who in football, other than Michigan, do you guys consider a rival? We’ve gotta be at least up there (again, after Michigan).

We at PSU are kinda the adopted kid in the Big 10 family, and are still working on developing rivalries. I’d bet in another 15-20 years no one will really remember that PSU wasn’t always a member of the Big 10 (or whatever it is called by then) and as long as PSU, OSU, Michigan, and whatever other school out there stays the consistent “top” programs, then they will probably be fairly big rivals.

Thats why I said "nearly" took away his ability to walk.

Remember tradition reigns supreme in the big ten. PSU represents change and forward progres….things the big ten aren’t fans of and known for.

We get it...

you don’t care that much about us. But unfortunately for PSU fans we are stuck in your conference, you happen to be the closest team, the series has been very competitive, and most of us already hated Ohio so learning to hate OSU was fairly easy. This is even more the case since you continue to crap all over any chance we have for national respect by not losing (except last year) but getting utterly throttled in national championship/bowl games. Your starting QB is a prima-donna headcase who strung out PSU for weeks and while we are certainly fine without him, the whole thing helps build up the hate. We know we will never be your Michigan but I saw plenty of very sad buckeye fans last year in the stands after we walked into your stadium and beat you on national tv. If you don’t care that much about us, please just leave our blog and let us continue to hate you in you absence. Trust me, we will.

I’d be impressed if you even got out of bed to make it to the bathroom, let alone went on a road trip to coach a football game.

So really you’re making fun of an 80 yr old man who could actually run off the field (let me know what you’re doing when you’re 80) because he had the flu. Congrats, dude.

One team has 7 national titles, and the other team has 2. One team has 7 Heisman Trophies, and the other team has 1. One team has 78 consensus first-team all Americans, and the other team has 39. One team has 6 Lombardi awards, and the other team has 1. One team has 4 Outland trophies, and the other team has 1. One team is part of the greatest rivalry in sports, and the other team used to play Pitt. Can you guess which team is which? You might assume that the latter team, given its underwhelming comparative accomplishments, has been playing college football for less amount of time than the former, but you’d be wrong; they began in 1887, whereas the former began in 1890.

HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE Tosu

after three freaking long years in Columbus (wonderful city, except the whole Tosu thing) and dealing with Buckeyes, i do not need to pretend to hate these guys. i loathe them. and worse, the vast majority of their fans (there are a couple awesome ones)

these people would make my life absolute crap on football weekends. they totally destroyed Hang on Sloopy for me. the greatest days in my 3 yrs:
1.) the FUMBLE
2.)Tosu losing that first National Championship
3.)Tosu losing the basketball NC
4.)Tosu losing the 3rd NC in 12 months

however, i do have to give them props for making me a big PSU fan. i used to be one of those “come in after the 1st quarter student” fans. now i’m there as soon as the gates, scream the whole time, til the clock strikes 0:00 and the Blue Band does their schpiel fans. so thank you for that.

On a happy note.

I just saw myself (and Tailgate Shogun) on the Penn State Football Story.

ThankYou BSD

I only make 1 game a year, and this site adds excitement to this game tenfold, the only emotion greater than my love for PSU is now my hate for tO$U

Because it's a Bowl Game!!

You know, if this were horse racing, they WOULD be better

At 7-2, tOSU, sired by Sweater Vest with Unnecessarily Smug, is the morning line favorite, with PSU going off at 8-1.

I’m not saying, I’m just saying. Maybe some more logically sound arguments for the already stated, clearly valid talking points above.

Wow...that is classic

Although one of our guys killed someone right?

Still 2 vs 1…we WIN.

I am not sure why OSU fans get all fired up, yeah college FB is awesome but get a life.

I was in CLE last week…the entire state just blows so that is why they are mad I guess?

You didn't like Cleveland?

I kinda dug it. Brutus fans aside.
