Yeah, you're right.

Sanchez started the entire season, instead of just a few games.

A more experienced Sanchez would have thrown for 8 TD's against OSU that day, instead of just 4.

The Big 12 stuff is to the point now that somehow a 3 point win is more impressive than smacking Penn State around who beat Ohio State...

I'm tellin' ya man; this ****ing board and College football sets the Platinum Standard for ass-backwardness:

If you hate your Big 12 rival, then you're a douchebag. But if you hate a superior team in a different conference, you're a great human being and football fan.

This place should be thankful that none of us will ever see teleportation in our lifetimes, because I'd have a trophy case of cracked skulls big enough to fill a backyard storage shed.

I have never in one single place seen as much of an inferiority complex as I've seen from some people around here from the coasts to just frankly good teams.

With college football it's like if you should dare mention someone as better than a Big 12 team you just committed an offense to everything natural.

I'm a Buckeye fan, but let's be real here. The Buckeyes were supposed to get crushed tonight and actually played one hell of a game. They were a missed tackle away at the end from maybe pulling it off. Not bad with a Freshman QB against one of the best QBs in the country. Hopefully this leads to the Bucks finally firing their offensive coordinator. But this was a lot closer a game than I expected.

The Big 10 took a pretty big hit this year. But this game was much better than a lot of people thought it would be.

You know, I think the Big 10 is actually heading in the right direction. I believe that because of the play of Northwestern and Minnesota. You know OSU and Penn St., will contend just about every year. Michigan will be back. Michigan St and Iowa have 2 very solid programs with great head coaches. Add a young Pat Fitzgerald and a guy like Ron Zook who does an excellent job of recruiting and we will be strong.

For OSU to succeed, Pryor just needs to learn proper passing techniques. What people never mentioned, was the absence of Pryor's favorite receiver. From what my wife told me, Hartline was suspended for missing curfew.

My DVR has a 90 minute buffer, so I can pause live tv for 90 minutes and then catch up later. So, if I'm watching live TV and decide to pause it for a long period of time, it'll automatically start playing after 90 minutes because it's at the end of the buffer.

See, the Big 10 is like my DVR. It's been 'paused' for 30 years and now it's at the end of the buffer and it's being forced to move forward, even if it's against it's will. 'No where to go but up', if you need a cliché.

Seriously though, with that kind of rushing attack, between the power run and Pryor's athleticism, all that's needed is some experience stretching the field (and I was impressed they took some shots tonight). I must say, it was a little exciting watching OSU tonight, and I've been known to not like the Big 10.

As for the rest of the Big 10, maybe Northwestern's play and Iowa's program (Iowa didn't have a real bad loss, they beat PSU, and won their bowl game... wow).... but I wasn't all that impressed with Minnesota, and MSU did squat this year.

Now, multiply that by 8+ years.

I don't even think I can begin to describe how annoying it is during college football season, so maybe you'll get the pleasure of their presence afterall.

At least you weren't around when people were clamoring for Chase Daniel to be the Chiefs top draft choice.

Though I'm sure a few of those oxygen thieves will make their way into the draft discussions.

How about the guy who thinks Oklahoma runs a pro style offense....and I bet I could find you people that think Colt McCoy is the best QB prospect in college.

Those two I agree with you. Whoever said that Oklahoma runs a pro-style offense? That's crazy. That's a spread offense.

Well, I wouldn't say McCoy is the best QB prospect, but he is up there. He did put up solid numbers, and he has the "it" factor, as it was demonstrated today. The issue with him is his injuries, and his small frame.

And his gimmick offense....the entire Big 12 there is nothing even close to resembling pro style.

Come on now, Dane. How many people ever said that? Can you name one?

It's silly now, and it was at the height of his college career. Not even the biggest Mizzou homers on this board were saying that... (as far as I remember, anyway)

Uh, I can't imagine anybody, and I mean ANYBODY, was actually serious about the Chiefs taking Daniel with a first round pick. At one time before his psyche imploded I would have been in favor of drafting him with a second day pick, but that's it.

You at least live in California, so if you like USC it makes sense. Mecca doesn't get that pass. Most of us are either KU fans or MU fans, because we're either from Missouri or Kansas, or attended the schools, or both. Nobody cherrypicks MU or KU. But Mecca presents himself as Mr. USC (because his father's brother's cousin's former roommate once had a layover at LAX) and never misses an opportunity to remind us all how much better his cherrypicked program (and every other super school that has ten times the resources we do) are.

It gets a little old.

If I wanted to cherry pick programs I wouldn't be a Chiefs fan....so that kinda blows that argument doesn't it?

I hated the Big 8 growing up because it was all option bullshit, sorry I chose a west coast team when i was 12 years old.

I've yet to see any indication that you are...
