Obviously its because Al Qaeda lays down the large ones for the Trojans!

Well, Ohio State has very low admissions standards.  And really, it’s sad how there is absolutely nothing else to live for in Columbus.

Really? Is this a recent phenomenon or has it always been this way? Had one uncle who studied engineering there in the 50’s who ended up making a good life for himself and his family. 

As for myself, my connection to the Buckeye state is also related to higher ed….though my institution was known more for having a progressive radical left activist campus culture with its on and off-campus student led protests than strong Division 1 sport teams.

“...since it’s probably the last football game we’ll ever get to see before the United States gets blown up by the Islamists under Obama.”

So for 50 years we managed to not get blown up the USSR, a country that actually had weapons that could blow us up and methods of delivering those weapons to us but a bunch of “Islamists” who lack the weapons and the means of delivering them are going to blow us off the planet on January 20th? But the truly sad thing is that there are people who actually believe this crap.

OSU, as a state university, has generally low admissions standards across the board.  I think this is how it should be, actually. Let students prove themselves at the school, especially since you’re not a private institution (Up yours UC-B).  What OSU does to keep its higher rankings in Science/Engineering is to make those programs very hard so that only the really good ones graduate.  That’s how my school, Purdue, does it, too.  I think admissions standards at a lot of state schools are too high because everyone obsesses over the ‘retention rate’ metric.  Purdue has considered raising its admissions standards because retention rate is one of the things that drops them a point or two in the US News rankings every year.  I hope they don’t.

this makes me hate th fact i go to OSU even MORE

“I can’t get tickets because USC is afraid to have me attend a game”???

What a narcissistic prick.

USC isn’t afraid to have even OJ attend games, so I suppose you can draw conclusions about Hugh Hewitt’s popularity from his statements.

As far as the Big 10 name goes, I guess that they just wanted to keep it as tradition after admitting Penn State.  OSU did make enormous improvements in admission standards the past few years, although the top few schools in each conference (Northwestern, Michigan, UIUC, Wisconsin and Minnesota in the Big 10, Vanderbilt, UF and Georgia if not more in the SEC) are better.

“Hail hail, to Michigan the Asshole of the World…”

He, he, he. U of M sports fan will be soon coming out of the holes they hide in during basketball season.

I’m not sure why Hewitt thinks OSU is going to beat USC, much less slaughter them, though? Probably because he’s a moron.

And while were on the subject, just make my allegiances clear, fuck Notre Dame, too. Which is to say, go Spartans!. (MSU may not be the greatest football program in the land, but we do hate the right people)

Theres nothing worse than someone injecting politics into sports.

Sports should be one of the fun, non-political areas of life.

This is also why I hate the olympics.

Wouldn’t Hugh’s prophecy require OSU to win a big game? I mean c’mon what are the chances that happens (thlough admittedly the Bucks makiong to Miama and then getting curb stomped by the Gators or the Dawgs would be hilarious).

As someone who grew up in Ohio surrounded by OSU fans, I can attest that they really do think their football team is that awesome.

norbizness, be careful or you’ll give Chris Muir ideas about another stupid Day By Day strip…

PANEL ONE

Guy with weirdly drawn face talks to hot chick taking her shirt off.

GUY: Is it true OSU has the power to see through time thanks to important Republican talking points?

GIRL: Literally, Obama loves eating babies.  You’re so hot.

PANEL TWO

Same artwork as previous panel.

GUY: So it’s decided.  We’ll travel to the future on flying linebackers.

GIRL: The media is stifling McCain’s message, you big virile hunk of man.

PANEL THREE

Same artwork as previous panel.

GUY: Too bad Obama’s Islamic death troops will have turned Columbus into a postapocalyptic Muslim-run Bartertown.

GIRL: Tax cuts.  Concealed weapons.  God, I hate foreigners.  You neocon men are so hot, and yes, I’m talking to you, the reader.

PANEL FOUR

Same artwork as previous panel.

GUY:  Okay, time for a weak pun on a random word from three panels ago.

GIRL:  Please do me before I explode.

Yeah, makes about as much sense as any “Day by Day” strip.
