smoooooooooch!

Ohio State now has a B10 record 5 consecutive OUTRIGHT B10 titles!!!!!! WoooOOoOOOT! The sheer ridiculousness of it is hilarious.

As we speak, I'm trying to re-remember the 2005 game in HV as a win and the 2008 debacle as a win. In another 2 years neither Troy Smith nor TP will have fumbled and OSU marched on to glorious victory and outright honors!

Penn State hasn't beaten us since 1996. Heh.

[THE_WIZARD_]

So Talent admits he is ridiculous?

Somewhere in that 5-year span there no longer exists a game (or, if it does exist, neither team gets a "w") between ohio and PSU---isn't it 2010? If I remember correctly, first ohio had to vacate that win, and now PSU has to vacate all wins from 1998 to the present.

Well, no. The loss still counts. So, Ohio State's throttling of Penn State in 2010 still counts as a loss for Penn State.

But that's cart before the horse stuff. 2010 isn't in the five year span I was mentioning. As you will recall, Ohio State did not "win" the B10 in 2010; rather they went 0-1 despite my hours of visual evidence to the contrary. 2005-09, though -- FIVE STRAIGHT OUTRIGHT TITLES, BABY!!!!

34-27

-- FIVE STRAIGHT OUTRIGHT TITLES, BABY!!!!

While you are at it, why not pick PSU's corpse for gold teeth too?

[SeanB]

That guy's going about it all wrong. His posture is terrible, the patient's head is unsupported, it's the wrong instrument and he's clearly experiencing a "medical emergency".

Where did this guy get his training?!

[Hannibal]

Well, technically, OSU still doesn't get an outright title. Penn State's is vacated, but OSU now shares the title with a vacuum. With vacated victories, the universe splits into alternate paths. On one path, Team A lost to Penn State. On the other path, the game was never played.

[iam416]

No. Technically Ohio State finished the 2005 B10 conference 7-1 (losing to Penn State). Technically, Penn State finished the season, 0-1, losing to Michigan and beating no one. 7-1>0-1....OUTRIGHT ME, BABY!!!!

Of course, in the real world, it's still split. I can't think of a possible advantage Sandusky's diddling gave Penn State on the field in 2005 or 2008, for that matter. Fuck Tamba Ali. Fuck Terrelle Pryor ad-libbing a fucking sneak.

[WM Wolverine]

Nope, all those losses are still losses. But PSU never won, make sense?

[iam416]

I understand perfectly. In fact, my post is perfectly consistent with what you said.

In 2005:

Ohio State 7-1
Penn State 0-1

See what I did there. OSU's loss to Penn State still counts. Penn State's loss to M still counts. All of Penn State's wins don't count. Hence, the above standings. Hence OUTRIGHT CHAMPS. It's pretty fucking straight-forward.

[hack]

On the other hand plenty of people can think of ways that Ohio cheated from 2005 to 2008. You're not fooling anyone.

[WM Wolverine]

I thought it was pretty clear OSU has been cheating since '01. OSU was just smart enough to not hire an independent investigator to air all their dirty laundry.
