re: To our Big 10 posters

tennesse came up to Columbus last year for the playoffs.... let me tell you as a native volunteer... most of you were good folks, but man the worst of you were absolutely embarrassing. all teams got em, but the amount of smacktalk was awful.

bigten teams go south all the time for bowls so that's not a unique situation, and didn't Ohio State play Texas in dallas for their game?

ohio state isn't a normal bigten team,. they have weapons to fight fire with fire,. bit not many of these teams can do that,. so they gotta grind you down and wait for the mistakes without making their own

I have the privilege of being from SEC land, living here again (after military and college and a bad marriage took me elsewhere), but I am an Ohio State alum (longer story)..

the dregs of bigten football are bad, like really bad (think UCLA, Wisconsin)
the 2nd tier teams however are good teams, who are not a site win, and depending on the location can beat most teams if they get a few breaks (think Michigan, USC, iowa, washingtonhere, a few others )

their style is boring, but they build their styles around the weather they are gonna play in. the Midwest is unforgivable in the fall, and so a pass happy attack for most isn't really a possibility due to lack of recruiting power. Ohio State can have it all, most have to choose one or the other, and choose boring run, and stout defenses that unfortunately focus on the run.

these new West coast teams are different, and that culture will change is or ours them, probably the latter.

I generally find SEC football more enjoyable to watch, as it's more wide open, and in the past they were definitely far better outside a few top teams.

NIL. has begun to close that gap I think. those schools up there are rich, bigger alum bases, more billionaires who have FU money, (see Indiania and Michigan specifically). just the amount being drafted to the NFL now is near even, where even five years ago the gap was fairly large still.

I've seen MULTIPLE posters here state "Kentucky and miss state can easily win the big ten" no they cant. they would suck there also, cu tbh... they suck.

now, if inhabe to watch a game thats between Ole miss and Tennessee or washington vs iowa, I'm choosing the sec game. make it USC vs Oregon inmay choose that game tho that doesn't exactly mean I think Tennessee is better (they really are not very good this year) than the big ten teams,. just the game will be more entertaining for me under no circumstances am I watching UK vs MISS STATE. ILL go cut the grass in January first

hope that is an honest opinion

I graduated from Ohio State but.... from East Tennessee. the play-offs decide all either way stop whining about things you can't control, and get to the dance and see what happens
this x1000 and I've lived in a lot of places, but came home to east Tennessee and feel dumb for leaving
don't go to a strip bar in Nashville Broadway is far better
he said it, didn't he? Penn State is wealthy, the alumni base is huge (I think the largest in the country ), puts out a ton of engineers into the workforce.

they can keep up $, and they recruit nationally well and have a good hold on the Mid-Atlantic
you think Florida is a better job than penal state ?

Tbh UCLA has a harder schedule ATM on paper than the Vols had last year. and with far less talent. Iirc he has games vs Penn State and Ohio State for sure, he's gonna get lit up bad
when he got his shots, teams ran at him. He wasn't very high on the depth chart and wouldn't start this year either, even after a complete NFL exit on the Dline
Tybee island is a dump i much prefer Alabama beaches over Georgia.

North Georgia is southeast Tennessee on the south side of a border, and is awesome .

Atlanta is not bad, but the traffic makes it a nightmare

West Tennessee is awful. Why do people in east TN say they are from east Tennessee
..
To.not be confused with the Flatlanders out west
she's does no cardio. She's very tall for her age (5'1 and like 87#)

she does a lot of trampoline playing which oddly seems to make her breath heavy, so I guess that's a form.of.low.inpact cardio

Most of her dryland involves just leg lifts (laying on her back and just lifting her legs, and scissors) dying cockroaches, push ups, some resistance bands she has set up in the basement.. .I have forbid weights over 2# and only dips mostly. a lot of ankle flexibility stuff while she watches TV. Stuff like that
She is aware. She loves practices,.and sometimes just playing with her friends

We make her do a sport, the choice of which was always hers.

Having ADHD she was generally bad at most other sports involving teams, so she got into this

9 year olds don't have the muscle development yet to really do the two a days. she does 5 a week, and then some dryland and
How long ago were conference? Did this happen to other sec swimmers also, or just her ? My daughter is a competitive swimmer (she's only 9) and follows this stuff close. generally if it was more than a few days, unless she did some silly bars work outs, I can't think that has any bearing. Maybe she was just not feeling good ?
Imagine being from east Tennessee and having to hear this all year, and not be a Vols fan.
As a tOSU alum I can tell you I have been to a lot of different sporting events in Columbus, but never once watched the baseball team, and I played baseball thru high school...lol

My daughter is 9.and a competitive swimmer, so we end up at the pool a lot as well as the one at UTennessee where we live. Their woman's swim team is pretty good tho
Only eight went. Two juniors stayed
Having drove all over this country, the worst state to drive in was Massachusetts. I waa willing to go to jail just to lay hands on multiple idiots
Ironic how a Kentucky person is calling Tennessee 'southern ohio'
