Hypocritical Buckeyes?
Found this interesting from the Big Ten Blog. I remember Zach Boren was upset at our post-game grenade celebration. Then I was reading the ESPN Big Ten Blog's mailbag and apparently we have some hypocritical buckys.
Jeff from Harleysville, Pa., writes: Brian, I enjoyed Michigan's "grenade" celebration after finishing a strong season by breaking the streak against OSU. Can we expect any special celebrations from you after your fantasy and picks domination over Adam?
Brian Bennett: I found Ohio State's objection to that celebration amusing, since I saw the Buckeyes do that exact same routine late in one of their August practices. I can't pull that off by myself but I am working on my own victory dance for this weekend in Indianapolis. If you're there on Friday night, be on the lookout.

hire the Borens than a lawn service that uses illegals.

don't use trugreen.

Considering most Buckeyes probably figure the term refers to a broken gamepiece on the game Hungry Hippos, I'm going to say they don't get the irony.

The arguments that come out of Columbus are rediculous. My favorite one was "The spread will never work in the B1G," until they hired Meyer and now it will win National Championships.

The full argument was "The spread combined with shitty defense will never work in the B1G."

I still remember OSU fans using rather derogatory terms to describe RR's offense (some, weirdly, with strong sexual preference connocations), yet Meyer shows up and suddenly basketball on grass is unstoppable. Should be fun the first time Meyer's team struggles to throw the ball or run the option against a defense and everyone starts to question whether the offense works in the conference.

Conspiracy theory - OSU had been planning this dance for the Michigan game from August of last year if they were to win. Michigan players got wind of it, via the twitters or other what-have-yous, and planned their own grenade dance to really stick it to the buckeyes - this is the real reason boren and friends are upset.

tinfoil hat on tight.
It's too perfect -- pulling their victory celebration out on our victory over them. Mmmmm. Good milkshake.
December 1st, 2011 at 11:26 PM ^
That most Buckeye fans actually believe. I guess JT wasn't winning enough in the postseason so Gee and Smith set him up. They convinced Meyer to quit at Florida by promising him the job then they used Tatgate to get JT fired. whoa

You are creative to come up with that.
This is hilarious!
December 2nd, 2011 at 11:21 AM ^
I didn't make that up, that's just buckeye logic at work for you.
December 1st, 2011 at 10:41 PM ^
Um, redundant title?
December 2nd, 2011 at 8:07 AM ^
Um, redundant post?

that ZACH BOREN IS HAVING A LOVE AFFAIR WITH A PRE-OP TRANSEXUAL?
December 2nd, 2011 at 7:16 AM ^
I thought he was the pre-op transexual...
December 2nd, 2011 at 8:32 AM ^
is that in referencing Boren's "pre-op transexual", nobody bothers to clarify which direction the "transexual" is headed, if that makes sense. Then again, I guess it doesn't matter much.
LMAO

Yeah, 'cause men having sex with men is FUNNY, amirite? I mean, you don't even need to be clever or witty or anything. You just reference a man having sex with a man and you start doubling over in laughter!!
It works especially well when it's someone you dislike, like Boren, because then you can not only show that sex between men is funny, it's a way of displaying your hatred for another person. And that's because the idea of men having sex with men is also horribly icky!!!
Yes, saying that someone is gay--is there anything it can't do?
Maybe once it stops being the 1960s this won't be an issue, but since we're still in the early part of that decade, I say let them fags have it with both barrells!!!
December 2nd, 2011 at 6:52 PM ^
you tell me exactly what I'm allowed to think. That will change my viewpoint!

..."he who poop in cooler, can go f$%k himself."
December 2nd, 2011 at 9:12 AM ^
Let's be real, even if every Michigan player had made it a point to shake hands individually with every Buckeye in attendence and thank him for a game well played, there would be some Buckeye players (especially some named Boren) that called them smug dicks and vowed revenge for it.
December 2nd, 2011 at 9:28 AM ^
Zach Boren stayed out on the field a very long time to shake hands with Michigan player and coaches. There were a lot of people he had the chance to speak with. But at the same time, lot of Michigan players were running off to the student section. After the fall-down stunt.
I don't think it is a big deal; but I also think that Boren is basically right. What is the extent of what he has done about it, other than to send out one tweet calling the whole scene classless?
If only people had gotten this worked up about a genuinely big story; like the reason that Zach's older brother transferred from Michigan, the way that Zach got recruited at OSU, and the background on the trumped-up "family values" press release.
December 2nd, 2011 at 9:36 AM ^
Since his sons went to Ohio is Mike Boren still a Michigan Man? Does he still consider himself to be a Michigan Man?
December 2nd, 2011 at 11:30 AM ^
That's safe to assume he is no longer a Michigan man. He did just as much talking as his idiot sons. Producing two kids that are buckeyes, and assholes at that, I think erases your Michigan man card.

We underestimated Sparty and now they're on their way to winning their second straight Big1G title.
December 2nd, 2011 at 6:42 PM ^
Hypocritical Buckeyes? Aren't they all? Is this a specific statement or an accurate generalization?
