RowdyZip Posted March 30, 2007 Report Share Posted March 30, 2007 Mike Tirico, ESPN Extra Point. "In what would have been LeBron's senior year in college, instead of helping lead his native state's college to the Final Four, he's branding their jerseys."Good thing Ohio only has one college, Mike.Fire away.

skip-zip Posted March 30, 2007 Report Share Posted March 30, 2007 It irks me too. Heck, there's been plenty of years where Xavier and Cincinnati were better at a national level than the Suckeyes. But the ignorant national media still thinks that Ohio has only one college. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sgm405 Posted March 30, 2007 Report Share Posted March 30, 2007 SHHH! don't mention the big bad osu, sgm will come out and scold us all That doesn't even make sense...at least come up with something good and relevant if you're going to try to rip on me. As for the quote, he probably said it because Lebron said on numerous occasions that he would've gone to OSU had he gone to college...just bad wording on Tirico's part.

timmyboy Posted March 30, 2007 Report Share Posted March 30, 2007 no offense, but the only reason the buckeyes are still getting the press is because they are still in the tourney. Heck we got alot of press and publishing for us, even when we didnt make a tourney.....but things will be different next year, we will be playin in the ncaa tourney, mark my words......we will come back stronger and more aggressive then ever. Plus the additions of sweich and steward are going to help us out alot more then people realise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zipgrad01 Posted April 6, 2007 Report Share Posted April 6, 2007 What was wrong with Tirico's comments? As much as you don't like to admit it, it is the true. From corner to corner OSU is the native university in the state of Ohio. Just get over it already and stop being jealous. Tirico was in no way trying to offend Akron, BG, OU Cincy or anyone else. It gets old reading ranting posts every time OSU is mentioned. It is like the jealous brother that is upset because he isn't as good at sports and isn't as popular as his brother. As much as LeBron loves Akron, and he does.....there is no way he would have come to school here. He has even stated as much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zipgrad01 Posted April 6, 2007 Report Share Posted April 6, 2007 Oh yeah...and those of you cheering because OSU lost is plain childish. Aren't you adults on here? If you are a Florida fan I can see, but actively cheering against Ohio's own to be spiteful is just nonsense. You act like OSU winning hurts UA in some way. Hate to break it to you, but it doesn't. We don't recruit the same athletes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zippyrifle32 Posted April 6, 2007 Report Share Posted April 6, 2007 umm...yes we do. anyways if everyone just admitted that ohio state is the only and greatest school in the state, how will that ever change? if we want it to change (and many people out here do) than we have to start acknowledging the other schools as well.

Zipgrad01 Posted April 6, 2007 Report Share Posted April 6, 2007 What athletes are we recruiting that OSU is? Also, you think ripping apart OSU will make people acknowledge Akron? Sorry, but all it does is cause resentment towards the university and our fans. Think about it.....what happens when OU or Can't fans rip on Akron? You resent the university and their fans because it makes them look like a bunch of crybabies. If you want people to recognize Akron, just be a good fan, be a good role model for the university and stop ripping on the schools that have already made it to where we want ours to be. It just looks bad and frankly it is embarrassing. The only way Akron will ever be noticed is to win consistently, improve facilities to make it look like a more "big time" university and did I mention win consistently? Add all those components and Akron will do just fine and start gaining more recognition. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zippyrifle32 Posted April 7, 2007 Report Share Posted April 7, 2007 ripping on osu and not saying that they are the best in everything are two different things. something like the national championship game is a lot like voting, you don't really support either side, you just want the lesser of two evils to win. just to be clear... being happy they lost is not "ripping" on them. saying they suck and have classless fans etc. would be ripping on them. saying that they are not the greatest thing ever is not ripping on them, but saying that they have the worst program in the (fill in the major) country and their students are idiots would be ripping on them.
