Oh, Joe Akron watched the shit out of some OSU last year but don't kid yourself. . . There are people who attended last year that have a renewed sense of not only OSU pride resulting from the NC, but also B1G pride since the conference represented so well in the bowl games. State pride coupled with Midwest pride. The playoff proved what so many knew all along. The B1G is great, it just wasn't being given its propers because the SEC is in bed with ESPN. Also, they are just salivating to see Mark May eat crow. Any latent OSU fans are completely back out of the closet and basking in the Buckeyes glory. It's going to hurt, I'm afraid.
