So all Ohio State fans wanna listen to Meyer? Gotta call bullshit on that. Next time don't lump every Buckeye fan into the same category.


Did I touch a nerve?
Glancing thru this thread, it appears that Ohio State fans are the only ones thinking this is a good idea.

Didn't touch a nerve @ all. I just think it's funny when fans of other teams try to lump all Buckeye fans into the same category.

Stop it. I already know how much of an Ohio State hater you truly are. You're simply incapable of being unbiased about them. Which is fine.

All you've done is create your own hypothetical situation. That's what you want to happen. Because the bottom line is Ohio State's overall success (compared to Yer Boyz) along w/ the Buckeyes total domination of meeeechegan this century doesn't sit well w/ you.
Tell me the last time you were unbiased about Michigan?

For the record, I actually like Herbstreit.

How about me repeatedly saying Jimmy Jam's a damn good coach but not one of the top three? That's being honest, not being biased. Or me saying meeeechegan's never really had a problem w/ getting good talent in ann arbor? If you need an example that talent's never been a major issue look @ Jimmy Jam's 1st year. He took Hoke's kids & doubled the win total.

See I can seperate my dislike of meeeechegan & say truthful things about them. You though are biased 24/7 when talking about Ohio State.

I like Quinn too, but think he's better as an in game analyst, it will be interesting to see how he transitions to the studio. I don't watch CGD as much as I used too, mostly because I'm trying to get shit done before the games these days, but it's generally on in the background or I'm listening to it on SiriusXM. I'll give Fox a try with this, and maybe I'll be pleasantly surprised by it. The former line up of Rob Smith, Leinert and Wanndstat did nothing for me.
Yeah I don't disagree. The last couple years have been mostly spent doing stuff around the house or running errands. I remember a time where hearing the beginning of that stupid Big & Rich song got me so pumped for football. Now it's just the reminder that I'm about to watch an annoying 3 hours of nonsense before I get to watch my football. At this point, I'm hoping to be pleasantly surprised as well, but it's certainly a step in the right direction for Fox.

I'd really love for you to quote yourself saying Harbaugh is one of the best coaches in the country; or even a "damn good coach". If you search your user name + Jim, there's at least 10 pages of you trashing him. You are very literally one of the most biased posters on this site. While I like to escalate the occasional topic, I tend to not say things I know are untrue.

Pretty much any thread about Michigan or Ohio State, you'll swoop in with a stupid repost of a cheesy meme.

If you'll notice, I'm pretty fair when talking about OSU; especially when it comes to season expectations.

Someone who posts with extreme bias doesn't post things like this:
I think Michigan may win the Big 10 this season

Do I joke around about Jimmy Jam & meeeechegan? Hell yeah I do. They're an easy target.

The fact is I have called JH a damn good coach countless times & meant it. One thing I have never said though is he's one of the best coaches in the country, you know like top 3. Don't make stuff up in a lame attempt to make yourself look better, you failed. Here are some actual facts that you probably think I made up. Hasn't won his division, no conference crown, losing record vs. his main rivals, doesn't have multiple big time bowl W's (Rose, Orange, Sugar, Fiesta), has a losing bowl record & doesn't have a Natty. Now go ahead & tell me what I just said is a bunch of biased mumbo jumbo.

CGD's problems began when they started expanding the time frame.

One hour was good for its purpose. Then they went to two and now it's 3.

They didn't expand their coverage of all the teams/games. They only talk, at length, about 8 or 9
contests every week.

I could see it and would probably watch portions of it, if they had 1/2hour blocks of the 5 P5 leagues and 15
minute blocks of the other 5 leagues/Independents. Maybe 10 or 15 minutes on the best 1-AA games
that week.

To watch them repeat the same crap every hour about the same teams is a waste of time.

If you want the nation to watch...you need to include all of the nation.

I usually only watch gameday, or am around when it's on, when we have tailgates going. It's perfect background noise/entertainment for a tailgate. That's about it. Corso has lost it. Herbstreit and Desmond have some OK analysis here and there but often times, on the big games, Herbstreit is calling the game so he is limited in what he can even say.

3 hour pregame shows are like bread rise. You know there is something good at the end, but damn, it's boring.

All they do is fluff stuff. Nothing really with detailed info. Rarely do they take a real stand and when the do it is stupid.

When Charlie Strong got fired they were touting it was because he was black. Well they didn’t mentioned he wasn’t winning games and lost to Kansas. Stupid reporting. Have not watch them in years.
