Pulling for pretenders

The Ohio State University Buckeyes are my football team. Always will be.

The team that showed up in the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum tonight, however, didn't belong on the same field with the Trojans of the University of Southern California.

USC 35, OSU 3.

Ranked #5? Someone check the math.

Props to Coach Pete Carroll and his team, along with anyone who's been saying that the Big Ten is overrated. They're right -- and that's sad to say, but after this game, it's not difficult to say.

After getting their asses handed to them by the clearly superior Men of Troy, maybe next week Ohio State can find a way to be competitive with the Boys of Troy (University).

Go Bucks...please...?

Mrs. KintlaLake's WVU Mountaineers won't play 'til Thursday, but being a Rich Rodriguez-hater, at least she got something out of today -- Michigan's loss to Notre Dame -- which is just more evidence that the Big Ten is playing pretend, not football.
