As you will recall in November Gee stirred up some dust with his remarks he directed and Boise State and TCU. In a speech deriding the mid-major schools; he claimed tOSU's schedule was like playing murderers row and that the schools like BSU and TCU only played the little sisters of the poor.
Now that the season is over, time to take a look at the validity of his remarks. According to Rivals.com sports writer Matt Hinton, who gleaned his information from the Sagarin computer ratings, it seems the Big 10 team with the toughest schedule was not Ohio State but it was the Minnesota Gophers whose toughness of schedule was ranked 38th.
Ohio State checked in with a middle of the pack ranking of 68th while Wisconsin who faced TCU in the Rose Bowl was 71st and TCU was 80th for its strength of schedule ranking. So much for a murders row ranking, would that have to be a top 10 strength of schedule ranking?
Any how Gordon Gee's smack talk did not go unnoticed by fans of the little sisters of the poor or TCU. So they held a rally in Columbus, Ohio, not in the streets as one might think. People marching and waving banners, no theirs was more clever and good smack on the streets to be thrown back at the arrogance of President Gee.
Mr. Gee arrogance has a price: TCU just handed you the bill.
Along with this bill board the "little sisters of the poor" sprang for the use of 20 electronic bill boards around the city congratulating the TCU Horned Frogs for their Rose Bowl victory over Wisconsin. Well played " Little Sisters of the Poor" Well played indeed.
