OSU Josh ...if you look at the overall picture, 09-10 has been a great year for OSU sports

football:

- Won 11 games
- Big Ten Champions for the 5th straight year
- Beat Michigan for the 6th straight year
- Won the Rose Bowl

basketball:

- Won 29 games
- Big Ten regular season and tournament Champions
- Ripped out Michigan's heart on an awesome buzzer beater
- Made it to the sweet 16
- We could possibly have our first Naismith winner
- The women's team won their 6th consecutive Big Ten regular season title, which is a new B10 record (men's or womens), and they also won the B10 tournament

Overall years this good don't happen a whole lot. Gotta enjoy them when they do, and try not to let the negatives (like tonight) ruin it

tarhe I believe this year was just the second time in Big 10 history that the same school won the football, mens basketball and womens basketball in the same season. Ohio State did it either two or three ago for the first time.

John14_6 Agreed.

Very nice season and year in C-Bus.

ronburgandy Great chance of doing it again next year!

OSU Josh tarhe, you're referring to 2006-2007. That was a pretty awesome year, sad that the only thing many remember about that year is the losses in the football and basketball title games

bbmind had a great quote on this subject:"You gotta enjoy the journey and not just the destination"

...and that's especially true in Ohio

ScarletFever OSU is always reduced to rationalizing unless it's the 2002 football team.

Find another team besides the following:

Ohio State in anything
Cleveland in anything
Willard in any sport anyone cares about

Then you're on your way!

fixed

championships are extremely rare, so we have to learn to enjoy things like Big Ten titles and CLE playoff berths as much as possible

Dude!

OSU has 7 National Titles in Football, and 1 in Hoops.

Don't ever put us and "Cleveland" in the same sentence!

well, Cleveland does have 2 world series and 6 NFL titles (4 by the Browns), most of which came around the same time as most of OSU's titles

obviously he's referring to the past 4 decades/what he's seen in his lifetime, in which 2002 has been the only major title for either

Winning 13 consecutive National Championships in a single sport not good enough for you?

The Chinese.
Hell, like half their gold medals at the last summer Olympics came from that retarded event. Or was it synchronized diving? *shrugs*

Buckeye2B I'm not sure about that Ron...my daughter wants to swim at OSU some day, so we made a visit to the swimming facility recently on a trip to OSU (we were there already for some wrestling -yes, from michigan to columbus- but it got cancelled due to the snowstorm.) Some type of synchro swimming competition was going on after the NCAA diving competition there and as a guy, well... I don't know much about it, but watching it didn't hurt at all... :)
March 29th, 2010 11:11 AM
ronburgandy Haha, well I meant it in this way...let's say you're debating with someone about championships, who's school is better, etc, I'm not going to say "Oh yeah, well OSU has 23 synchronized swimming championships.."
March 29th, 2010 12:00 PM
ScarletFever It's always hard to tell with Vogel he may have been joking. He knows when I said anything I meant hoops & football but he busted my semantics. I actually didn't realize we dominated in synch swimming, ron why didn't you try out and bring home a ring?
March 29th, 2010 12:33 PM
ronburgandy I don't like to wear speedos.

Knite Flyer ^This is a GOOD thing.

I made a ton of money on that Coed Pistol title in 2000. tOSU was a dog and I took the spread....they won outright and it was a big pay day. Bang!
