    Maybe for the season, but we beat Texas last time we played them

    I'm talking on the national big stage, winning or losing close...

    Oklahoma lost by 10, and even after being o-4 in their last 4 BCS bowls, they're playing for the title so if OSU wins or loses by say 7 or 10, that has to count for something....

    The only way to silence the media is to get back to the championship game and destroy whoever we play...........

    couldn't agree with you more.

    I want a shot at ANY SEC team in the title, and I just want to beat them down so hard that nobody will have any rights to say anything bad about our university.

    WHAT IF we beat Texas next week by 2 or 3 or 4 TD's?

    1. They beat OU
    2. Nobody is giving the Buckeyes a chance
    3. Many believe they (Texas) should be the team playing Florida.....

    You guys don't think that will redeem the Buckeyes at all...?

    For now yes.

    Idiots will still say we can't beat the SEC though, that's the thing that bothers me the most I guess.

    Until we beat the SEC champion on a national stage they will continue to say we don't deserve to be on the same field. We'll continue to get hated on until we actually go out there and win. Winning solves everything... nothing is given and that includes respect.

    Beating Texas would be a huge step towards getting some respect from the the national media but until we play an SEC team and win..........

    If we beat USC next year along with a win against Texas........that would really help.......

    No doubt. That would be HUGE for this team. Beating 2 big time programs when your the underdog will raise your confidence. It's definitely possible but we can't make stupid mistakes and fold under pressure.

    OSU will not beat Texas (Because of poor line play), OSU will not beat USC next year at the Shoe (USC will bring their All-cylinders A-Game), and we will go to another BCS game and get throttled by the D-Line speed of the #2 or #3 SEC team. Hate to say it but this conference is draggin us down.

    The bad thing is that when tOSU finally beats an SEC team, the haters still won't give them credit. They'll just write it off as a fluke or some such, or say that anyone can win once. Unfortunately, when you are as high profile as Ohio State, you are going to take shots.

    As crazy as this might sound... we need to recruit better. We need to recruit quicker offensive and defensive lineman as that is our biggest problem. Our big guys are too slow and it shows up when we have to play quicker teams.

    I hate to be a dick and sound harsh but "fans" like you (and there are a lot of them; I call them fair weather/ borderline bandwagon) really PISS ME OFF!!!

    If you are so distraught over how "horrible" and "non-competitive" your erroneous perception has led you to believe the Buckeyes are, get a new team....it's that simple dude!!!

    We've won 10+ games for 4 straight years and the ONLY team better than OSU since 2001 is USC....

    We might beat Texas, I think we will beat USC in the Shoe next season and even if we don't, I'm a true fan and I support them 1000% always, no matter what!

    Winning 10+ games, and playing in a BCS or other nice bowl game every year isn't something to complain about.

    We're not going to go to and win the BCS title game every year....there are too many very good teams nationwide in college football so accept it or don't and pick a new team...

    I find it hard to argue against VandaliaBuck. What he says is primarily true, and for right reason. What on Earth makes you actually think we have great line play? You win games by controlling the line of scrimmage and in every single "big game" we have failed to control it. In each game we have gotten pushed back and controlled like no other. To call him a bandwagon or fairweather fan because of his thoughts is kinda silly I think. He just realizes what's wrong with this team.

    If we're only talking about teams we have played, then I would argue that Florida is better than us as well. If we're talking about other teams that we have not played I could include some more.
