Reality Bites

Akron has been making great strides in growing popularity in NE Ohio, but that's probably going to start slowing down if OSU does something in this tournament. I think we all know how people in this area are. I'd love to see Akron beat OSU in the tournament if they get a chance to play each other. That would be a slap in the face to all the local front runners.

They would probably lobby to get seeded in a different bracket to avoid a potential loss to an in-state school. That way they can continue to claim supremacy without actually playing for it.

Wow - Dare to dream of that 1st round matchup. An absolute nightmare for OSU.

I highly doubt UA would be a challenge for OSU.. Zips are much improved but who is gonna stop Dials from OSU? Foster? Sorry, I just dont think Dru and Travis can do it.

The lights aren't really on in Can't are they.......?My point as stated in some posts above is that OSU would have everything to lose in this in state match up and little to gain with a presumed victory before tip off. It's was kind of the theme of this whole thread. I can try and type slower if you think it would help

Great point, they have been ducking everyone for a LONG time. Heck, they won't even play in state teams on their home court anymore let alone getting them on a neutral court.

OSU is overrated! The entire MAC is underated!

:lol:You could say this about any 1seed playing a 16 in their bracket.They are supposed to win, and if they do, no one cares, but if they don't, look out!
