President Gee-Arrogance Has A Price

At the end of this last season tOSU President Gee opened his mouth and was less than complimentary about the mid-major teams vying for BCS berths. He said they simply just did not belong at the big dance and there should be no room for them in the BCS Bowls.

He qualified his remarks with statements that playing in the Big 10 week in and week out was like playing murderers row, adding that playing the mid-majors was akin to playing the sisters of the poor.

Arrogance has a price and today Mr. Gee has to swallow his words, though I doubt some one as arrogant as he will do so.

Don;t get me wrong, I have nothing against the Big 10 or the teams that comprise the conference. I do take issue with snobbery, In my opinion, Gee's remarks made him a snob.

Today the Big 10 Conference had 5 teams in various bowl games, the biggest one being the Rose Bowl featuring conference champion Wisconsin against the sister of the poor the Mountain West Conference champion and undefeated TCU.

Mr. Gee how do you explain the Wisconsin loss to TCU? Was it a fluke or did the Horned Frogs out play the Badgers. From where I sat, Wiskey got out played and the better team won.

Adding insult to injury the Big 10 went 0-5 today in bowl appearances. The two teams from Michigan were routed. Seems to me the sisters of the poor are much better than President Gee is willing to concede.

Their last hope for salvaging some dignity in this bowl season rests on the shoulders of his very own Ohio State Buckeyes. The same Buckeyes that are involved in the newest football scandal. Many feel the 5 game suspension of his players should start right now, eliminating the tOSU quarterback and some other key players from the Sugar Bowl. Myself included think the NCAA has shown favoritism to Ohio State. This is based on the actions that they took against a Georgia player who sold his jersey and was immediately suspended for 4 games.

I do believe money was a major factor in this decision, taking away the quarterback and others from Ohio State all but guarantees Arkansas a victory and I think we all know what that would do to ticket sales.

All that aside, Ohio State President Gee was handed a large slice of humble pie today as his "murderers row" got murdered today by some of the sisters of the poor.
