The week of The Game
Alright kiddies, I know it's Tuesday and I'm a little behind the eight ball here, but this is the week of The Game. And if you don't know what game I'm talking about, just come back some time around Thanksgiving. Until then, we're all Buckeyes, all the time. Here's a little taste to start you off:
A highly recruited high school football player was visiting schools to try and find the best college for him. His first stop was at Miami. When he got there, Larry Coker immediately picked up a golden telephone. After talking several minutes, he said, "Thank you, God," and hung up.
This shocked the young man. He asked the coach what was so special about the golden phone. "Well, this phone is a direct line to God. And God tells us whether or not new recruits would be stars at our university.
The athlete asked if he could use the phone to ask God what college he should pick "Sure, you can! But it's going to cost you $1,000. Calling Heaven ain't cheap."
The fellow didn't have that kind of money, so he moved along.
His next stop was Michigan. Upon entering Lloyd Carr's office, Coach Carr immediately picked up a golden telephone. After talking several minutes, he said, "Thank you, God" and hung up.
The boy said, "Hey, I've seen those phones before. Can I use yours to call God and ask what college I should pick?"
Lloyd said, "Sure, but it's going to cost you $750. Calling Heaven isn't cheap.."
Again, not having that kind of money, the lad left. His last stop was in Columbus, Ohio. Upon arrival at the office, Coach Tressel picked up a golden telephone, talked to God, and said, "Thanks," and hung up.
The boy just had to use that phone, so he said, "Coach, I really need to use that golden telephone so I can call God and ask him which college I should choose.From Florida it was going to cost me $1000. From Michigan they wanted $750. So how much will it cost me to call Heaven from here in Columbus?"
The coach smiled and said, "Nothing, Son. It's a local call."

No offense or anything, but that's a dumb joke.
None taken. I'll bet I can come up with a dumber one tomorrow.
I thought it was funny (I've heard it before). Though it is probably only good if you like OSU. :-)
Fitz is high. That joke is awesome.
If Columbus is heaven, then I want to go to hell. I'm still shocked that someone is a fan of a college team that he never went to. SHOCKED, since you even went to a school in the same state!
It's not so hard to believe, things are just different in Ohio. I think you'll find that most Ohioans support the Buckeyes, regardless of where they went to college.
The same can be said for any other major college program. Are you telling me that all of these Irish fans went to Notre Dame? Or USC? Or Texas?
As for me personally, I absolutely root for Miami to beat the Buckeyes when they play each other. But the reality of that is, Miami will never beat them, so it's a moot point.
"I think you'll find that most Ohioans support the Buckeyes, regardless of where they went to college." - Isn't this the same type of thinking that the Germans had when they turned Nazi? Are you telling me you're a lemming because you grew up in Ohio?
Irish Fans are dopes as well. You are proving my point. Thank you.
Ladies and gentlemen, MrCub is a little jealous because Purdue has only won one Big Ten title in the last 40 years and has never won a National Championship. They have also never won a National Title in basketball.
