Ohio WR: We'd wipe field with Bama, FSU
Urban Meyer has Ohio State right where he's had them all season in the coaches' poll -- at No. 2 -- but at least one player thinks the coach is selling the Buckeyes short.
"I'm a little biased," wide receiver Evan Spencer told reporters Monday. "I think we'd wipe the field with both of them."
"Them" would be unbeaten Alabama and Florida State, who are 1-2 in this week's BCS standings...

Wonder why, with some of the crap that's floating lately?
Maybe if he said they were going to wipe the field with Michigan it would be a big hit around here...

they are on the outside looking in with Baylor in the wings. Playoffs can't get it here fast enough.
I have no problem with the tone.
November 11th, 2013 at 7:39 PM ^
I know we have no right to talk but leave it to a buckeye to shoot his mouth off. I was hoping to see them left out of the champ game in favor of Baylor (assuming Bama or FSU loses) but now I kinda hope they get into the big game just so they can get smacked for this idiocy.

Have you seen us play? We aren't beating anybody in the SEC right now. As for your Buckeyes, talk all you want if you keep winning. Does anybody buy the Buckeyes as the 3rd best team in the country....No, we all know it's smoke and mirrors. But, whatever, you can only beat the teams on your schedule. Unfortunately you are now the flagship program of a joke of a conference without even a legitimate #2 big time program like the old days.

If Hoke doesn't start getting things in order in the next year or so I'm with you. I thought we should have gone for Miles or Harbaugh in the first place, not Hoke.
As for this clown on the Buckeyes, they needed inelligble players to beat an SEC team a few years back. And that was a middle of the pack group in Arkansas. Perhaps they can beat FSU, but Bama would beat them by 24+

“Well, I guess I’m a little biased, but I think we’d wipe the field with both of them, but that's just my bias speaking.” the Buckeye wide receiver said. “We’re going to go ahead and handle our business and play our best game every week. We know that we just have to go out and execute. If we go out and execute for a full game, there’s nobody in the country that we feel can hang with us when we’re executing the way that we can."

I would like to see a B1G team beat Bama. I don't care if it's shitsburg state. I fucking hate the SEC.
November 11th, 2013 at 8:52 PM ^
I wholeheartedly share it. I absolutely want a B1G team to win the next NC, even if it's Ohio. The best way for the national perception of the Big Ten to change is for its teams to start winning big games. The more OSU wins, the better off the entire conference is. I'm not sure if Shitsburg St. is eliiglble due to the sanctions, though.

There's nothing wrong with a some confidence and swagger. Plus they need the PR machine to work in overdrive to influence voters because their remaining schedule will not push them into the BCS title game.
November 11th, 2013 at 8:00 PM ^
So does 1997 and David Boston

I root against Ohio in every conference game. However, I always root for the B1G in non-conference games (Except MSU when they played Boise St.).

Well when we haven't lost a game in almost 2 years and are 10-3 since 2000 against your biggest rival you can be that confident.
Seriously, what about this team's performance makes you wonder: "Gee golly why aren't we walking around with our heads high and chests puffed out"?
November 11th, 2013 at 9:25 PM ^
Nothing does. I wasn't being all that serious. I just meant that it would be nice to be confident heading into a game. I wasn't really that upset that we lost to Nebraska. Sure, I was dissapointed, but in the back of my mind, I knew that a loss was coming.
This coaching staff is worse than the RR era in my opinion. Everyone wants to give Brady another year because he's a "Michigan Man". If we gave RR another year, where would we be? Brady went 11-2 with RICH ROD'S recruits. This offense is a joke. The defense is average. With all these great recruiting classes, why aren't we better? Brady has beeen here almost 3 full years. Where is the development? Where is the improvement?

Agreed. Better to have indefatigable confidence than.....flagging confidence...ugh, I'm so depressed.
November 11th, 2013 at 9:22 PM ^
John Cooper already couldn't beat Michigan. That happened the year after he got his first win against Michigan. I'm sure ol' Coop loved him opening his mouth like that. Giving a Michigan team that had his number even more motivation.
Same thing with David Boston in 1997. I mean, when you have been owned by a team, it's rather foolish to talk trash in the media about said team.
Maybe that's just me. I rather the results on the field do the talking.

Someone should have told Devin, Fitz, and Kalis this

I'm now pulling hard for OSU to get into the NCG. Then Bama can blow their doors off. This is of course a second-best scenario in case we don't do so first.

Holy shit that's hard to read. Try some punctuation and capitalization and I may be able to respect whatever point you're trying to make.

As much as I'd love to see OSU get spanked by Bama, it would only reinforce the negative stereotype about the Big Ten and the annoying SEC chants. If OSU makes it to the NCG, I might have to pull for them, simply because I'd be pulling for the conference's respect. Having said that, I could easily see myself flipping mid-game and start pulling for Bama the moment the camera pans to a smug Buckeye fan in the crowd, or an even more smug Urbz.
November 11th, 2013 at 8:36 PM ^
November 11th, 2013 at 9:18 PM ^
Does it help to know there's at least one Buckeye fan hoping that Hand snubs Alabama and picks Michigan?
November 11th, 2013 at 9:35 PM ^
November 11th, 2013 at 8:20 PM ^
I suppose one would expect him to say that. I doubt he would ever say anything like, "we're number three".
November 11th, 2013 at 8:27 PM ^
November 11th, 2013 at 8:37 PM ^
Thanks for the support! I have to say we are in no position to talk about OSU's players standing up for their team. We should get some of that swagger ourselves. We have a long way to go I am afraid.
I've loved the rivalry with OSU since I saw the 50-14 (at Crisler on a big screen) and 24-12 (in person) games in 1968-69. As a 12-year old I was mad that Woody went for 2 in the 1968 game. I couldn't believe it...but to be honest that and all the other big games since have made the rivalry only greater and more fun to watch. UM vs OSU was a great rivalry. I hope OSU does well this year and UM get's its swagger back. When both teams are doing well it makes a victory all the sweeter.

Akbuck, I appreciate you coming in here in a respectful manner, not in a trolling manner. I've made plenty of jokes over the years about how obnoxious OSU fans can be, but the truth is, some of my best buddies are OSU fans, and they are like brothers to me...except in late November.
I've learned that there are good fans and bad fans in any fan base- Michigan included. I have a lot of respect for OSU and the rivalry. We need to start pulling our weight in the rivalry. Sadly, I don't have much confidence in our O-Line, so you guys should clobber us. Anyway, good luck the rest of the way, except when The Game is played.
