As of 5/4/08
#1 Rich "Dick Rod" Rodriguez
well mr. rodriguez, how quickly you have put yourself towards the top of ohio state's hates. first of all, the way in which you took the michigan job really made us lose all respect for you from the get go. seriously...you told terrelle pryor before your team about leaving west virginia! you are way too shady! second, when you took the job you said that the ohio state rivalry was no more important than notre dame or michigan state. well maybe you should learn something from getting beat by pitt! also please take some lessons of class from lloyd carr...at least he was a class act!
#2 Mark May
well mark you find yourself at spot #2! since trev alberts got the axe from espn there has been no greater hater of the ohio state university than you. you pick the team we play every week to win, and when we prove you wrong you knock us in the process. lets be honest, you really aren't that good at what you do! you picked miami to beat us by 4 or 5 touchdowns, and then never admitted you were wrong. come on man, get a little more unbiased or you will remain in spot #2.
#3 The SEC & their fans
sec please don't complain, we could have put you at spot #1. we are sick of hearing about how superior you feel your conference is compared to everyone else. you think your players are ten times faster than any other conference's, and you have no humility at all. we do realize that you are a good football conference, but you don't have to remind everyone all the time. we hate to tell you guys, but the big ten exists! the only thing worse than you are the recruiting experts that feed you guys bull about how the south has so much speed! lsu fans summed your conference up as they showed no class and chanted "sec" after your victory.
#4 Pete Carroll
as bad as charlie weis is about ego, you might be worse. usc has had an incredible decade, but you have to be the shadiest coach in football. you fly around the counrty in you personal jet, and tell every recruit that they are "your number one man!" this is what happened with fred davis, and ohio state fans have never seen you in the same light again. who knows what all gets shoved under the rug at usc, and this is why we put you at spot #4.
#5 Charlie Weis
charlie which is bigger, your ego or your waist line? not only have you ran notre dame into the ground (which is great to watch), but you talk about how great of a coach you are why you do it! it really has been pretty comical to witness. honestly you could take a few pointers from a great coach like jim tressel. you don't have a hint of class, and ego is out of control. you now get spot #5.
#6 Desmond Howard
mr. howard, you really are quite annoying. besides being one of the worst analyists we have ever heard, you have the worse michigan bias ever! it's not bad enough that you had to burn ohio state when you played and win the heisman, but now you talk about it every saturday on television. please if you are going to open your mouth with terrible observations, make them about another team and not about the school up north. you have now landed in spot #6!
#7 Penn State Football Fans
there is no coach we respect more than joe paterno, but no fans we are more annoyed with than penn state's. now don't get us wrong we respect penn state's tradition, atmosphere, and crazy fans during the game. what has become a bother is to have them constantly complaining about ohio state. we are sorry penn state, but we are the actual linebacker u and have the players to show it. also please quit bad mouthing our program over terrelle pryor. for two months now you have called us cheaters and complained about the chance of us getting him. seriously we respect you guys, so please return the favor and get off our boards!
#8 Tom Lemming
tom, tom, tom, you really think you are the god of recruting! you have one of the most arrogant attitudes, and are consistently shafting the midwest of getting higher ratings in recruiting. actually most of the recruits out of the midwest that get high ratings are going to notre shame. your bias towards notre dame is really starting to get old! they don't deserve to have 20 guys in the u.s. army all-american game every year...come on! your attitude and terrible bias has landed you in spot #8 this week,
#9 Kirk Herstreit
sorry kirk i know you played for ohio state, but lately it looks like you have forgotton your roots. the only reason you are where you are now is because columbus has been great to you. instead of showing the bucks even a little love you have decided to rip them apart every week, and show your support elsewhere. sure some would say you are doing this to be totally unbiased, but it is still alright to show them some love every now and then. in fact in the national championship post game you had the chance to stick up for us, but you bailed! even though we are very frustrated with you right now "mr. judas iscariot," we only put you at spot #9 because you are from osu.
#10 Ron Zook
zookie we are quite glad you have turned around illinois and made the big ten look a little better, but your methods have aggravated the ohio state fans. first of all, you have have come into ohio and started stealing our players (aka cordale scott). honestly this is good recruiting, but it still is allowed to bother us. with that said, we are not so sure john l. smith was so off with his words when he said, "where there is smoke there is fire." seriously champaign illinois is not that great of a place!
