The Ohio State Buckeyes are undefeated and, naturally, their fans want their team to have a shot at the national championship, or at least a Big Ten championship. 

That’s why some intrepid Buckeyes supporters have started a petition asking President Barack Obama to pardon their football team. Ohio State is ineligible to participate in the postseason — including the Big Ten championship game — because of sanctions levied last season stemming from Buckeyes players receiving free tattoos and other gifts for game memorabilia.

Ya know, there is no one who wants to see the Bucks win week in and week out more than I do. Ruins my weekend when they lose(and the Bengals win, randy sue).....especially against Michigan.

However, isn't it kinda silly to think about petitioning the President for a pardon, given the fact Tressel and company screwed up and didn't report this? Should we Buckeye fans really be thinking about special attention here? Is it fair to the other teams over the years that have been made to serve their full sanctions and make a special case for the Bucks? Probably not.

Besides, who here, including the most ardent fan, thinks this Buckeye team is really strong and talented? C'mon, I've been watching every game and will come out and say it.......this team ain't that good to be 11 and 0. They have a hard time getting started in almost every game. Play lousy in the first half, play better and somehow survive in the second half. Play down to the wire in some games. Barely beat Wisconsin and had to come back against a weak Purdue team. Have any of you been impressed with Miller as a passer? Yes, sometimes he dazzles us with his running abilities, but, c'mon, he clutches and falls down alot in the pocket and, after two years, is still undecided about what he wants to do at times, taking a loss while trying to make up his mind where to go with the ball. The receivers are average at best and the running game is sporadic. Bottom line, IMO.........this is one of the worse 11 and 0 teams I have seen in a long time........and.....I think Urban Meyer knows it too, but, of course, isn't going to berate his team. Better competition outside the Big 10 would beat this team. There are teams in the SEC, Pac 12, ACC and SW conference that would probably beat this team. Alabama, LSU, Texas A&M, Oregon, Stanford, Clemson, Florida State to name a few should have the edge. JMO

I'm so proud of my hometown and what it has become. Recall 'em all. Let's start over.
