I think you're even being generous there

Exactly & Amen brother!
We OSU fans cautiously hoped for a win but we were also realistic unlike scUM fans....
ND put up 35 on them.....Wisky should easily exceed that b/c scUM has no "O" & no "D"

#5...all the more reason to take pity on your team for getting blown out. You keep bringing up Michigan fans as if every one is the same. Which i'm sure in your small world they are, but realistically there are plenty and just because you talk to a few of them on the forum doesn't mean they are all morons. What you did on that forum and then on this one would be like goblue or myself or any other person who supports Michigan to come on this forum and make fun of osu for getting blown out to usc and then go back to a Michigan forum and call all the osu fans morons for supporting their team. No respect.

You completely missed my entire point but I am not surprised that the meager mind of a scUM fan cannot comprehend much...
Because we were #5 we (OSU fans) actually had a legit reason to but into the hype surrounding our team & to believe OSU could win that game vs U$C YET most of us were very cautious and realistically even admitted we would probably lose once it was made public that Beanie wasn't playing....
What convincing reason(s) do you have to believe scUM will play well, let alone win vs #9 Wisconsin Saturday???
Oh right, b/c you're a good fan...I forgot....that'll make the difference and push your team over the top to the Win...
LMFAO!

Okay listen, just because you think you are king of the world because you favorite team is ohio state...it doesn't make you it. You are no better than any Michigan fan so I don't know what makes you think you can stereotype every one of them. Who are you to talk? You're not even out there on the field. You are on a forum talking crap about a team that you couldn't do half as well as. What are sports for? Why are they broadcasted? For entertainment. For the fans. Yeah me being a good fan might not win them the game, but it benefits me and that's what matters. I don't see how every fan were like OMG MICHIGAN IS GONNA BEAT WISCONSIN SO BADLY! No...you had one guy argue with you about the fact that he didn't believe Wisconsin would blow Michigan out like you do. I clearly put Wisconsin as the winner on my picks and I support Michigan...but hey, we're all just some moron Michigan fans who can't comprehend much right? Oh right...we can't comprehend much because we favor a team that is in a different state than you do. Hmm...what a solid point we must all be a bunch of idiots for liking such a team.

I do think Wisconsin handles Michigan pretty easily but I don't think they will win by 30. Whether some Michigan fans are overconfident in their team this year... that's not for me to judge but Michigan is not a good team this year. Yes, good amount of their fans think they will win and play very well Saturday... but the larger majority of Michigan fans will think they don't have a good chance on Saturday.... just like Ohio State fans were the week leading up to USC. We thought we would play well but we weren't so confident.

I sit down every week and play poker with the guys in my neighborhood. Two are ND fans and one is a UM fan. They are no different than me as an OSU fan. They like their team as much as I like mine. They want them to win as much as me. They buy ND/UM jerseys, hats, shirts, etc. Same thing that I do as an OSU fan. They go up and scalp a ticket to the game just as I have done. They are not meager minded fans.
I don't want to take this personal blockonation but at the same time I dislike the attitude of any fan who believes that they are better in some way. I have plenty of friends who are ND, UM, Browns, Steelers, etc. They aren't stupid because they like another team, that is who they choose/grew up rooting for.
