Wildcat get real it wasnt out of money it was because of Mike Trangese who is pres of the Big East and the chairman for the BCS and the next point is that we didnt trade Miami and Va Tech for Uconn and South florida. South Flordia will be a powerhouse in next few seasons, the only reason they dont get players is because they dont play in a good conference although the big east is down it still looks better than conference usa or the mac. They will get players look at this years class they got a receiver from Fla and WVU that is a bluechipper, why did he go because they were improving. Also, dont forget we got cincy who hung with the Buckeyes 2 years ago and we got Lousville who beat fla st 2 years ago, the big east will be back it will just take time. However, losing those two basketball teams make our conference the best in college basketball, because we got rid of the water downed teams and no its up for grabs as who will win because uconn will have its troubles with cincy and lousville and Marquette.

Talk about using the term powerhouse loosely...

So hanging with the buckeyes is terms for being a good team, I remember a PSU squad that would have beat the buckeyes last year had it not been for a typical Big Ten officiating screwjob, but intern, lost 21-20.

You have at least made half sense before, totally off the wall there.

If you watched the ENTIRE Ohio State-Penn State game, you would know that Penn State also had dropped a pass that was called complete by the officials on their only touchdown drive. If I remember right, Nate Salley his the PSU receiver so hard in the helmet that he about knocked him out and he dropped the ball and fell on it. The commentators spent their time talking about how Salley's hit would have drawn a fine in the NFL because it was helmet-to-helmet and not about how the receiver dropped the ball. But you're right, the officials are against PSU.

I did watch the ENTIRE game, and I cant say that I remember the play, either way im sure it was not as obvious as the one OSU tightend 'caught' enroute to the game winning touchdown.

OSU has gotten more calls in the last 2 years than any team in ncaa history. any buckeye fan has no room to complain.

I am not complaining. I was just answering a PSU fan who was whining about something. Buckeyes are winners, not whiners. Yes, OSU has gotten some calls in the past two years, but they have been on the short end of the stick a few times as well. The infamous phantom pass interference call in the Orange Bowl comes to mind. However, I get sick of constantly listening to PSU fans complain about getting jobbed by the officials. Officials did not hold Larry Johnson to -1 yard rushing in the second half of last year's game. Officials did not let OSU's back-up QB engineer two touchdown drives (more than PSU's starter had the whole game). PSU does not get the job done and then whines about officiating.

For the record, I have never watched a game where the officials caused OSU to lose. Sometimes calls have an impact, but the way the teams play ultimately determines who wins and loses.

that was two years ago first of all. secondly, no true psu fan would cry about that years osu game. they lost fair and square. nobody can dispute the iowa and michigan games, but the lions shouldnt have been in those situations in the first place. osu has had all the calls in thier favor, like last years 3 down conversion when the pass hit the grass 3 yards in front of the reciever. just wait till a few go wrong for you, then im sure you will have something to say.

Every Team in America gets a screw-job, but the good ones don't whine about it, they just move on and over-come IT. PSU doesn't and other teams like Ohio St. do!!
