What is with the negative tone from CBS toward OSU?  Just look at their headline for this article: Ohio State advances to NIT final, dodges Florida.  Excuse me?  OSU did not dodge anyone.  Florida failed to earn the right to play OSU in the NIT final.  So why the negative headline for OSU?  Why didn't CBS use a headline like Florida falls in NIT semi-final, dodges Ohio State?  Better yet, how about a tip of the hat to OSU's opponent...Ohio State advances to NIT final, faces U-Mass?  Get a life, CBS.

They also fail to mention that OSU already beat UF this year in basketball.  Unfortunately, it's going to be anti-OSU for a while.  I don't recall the Bills getting this much slack for losing 4 straight SBs.

You have to remember that CBS Sportsline is owned by CBS and CBS is a heavy SEC mark.  They have to be crying that Florida blew it against UMass.

It's comical that OSU gets reprimanded for advancing to three (four if you include their men's soccer team) National Championship games the past two years. Sure, I am disappointed that they lost, but with the exception of the beatdown that Florida gave us in the BCS title game, Ohio State was the underdog in every game.

I have to admit though, it is fun being a fan of a relevant power. Hated stems from success, and Ohio State has certainly achieved its share.

PS, my favorite moment from last night (I was at the game at the Garden): these Ole Miss yokul fans break out into an "SEC! SEC!" chant to taunt OSU. OSU then issues a smackdown, right after Florida blew its game against UMASS, and the Garden faithful responded with "SEC! 0-and2!" ... so funny these 4th rate SEC schools hang their hats on the success of LSU and Florida.

Thanks Pete.  Great story from the Garden...makes my day!

I know that CBS is deeply in bed with the SEC, but as a national sports media outlet, one would think they would make an attempt to be unbiased.  Then again, an unbiased major media outlet is an oxymoron.

They hate OSU because OSU wasted BCS bids the past two years by causing the Championship game to be a yawner

What really gets me is that Ohio State already beat this Florida team 62 - 49 in December.

Yeah I was thinking the samething when I read that I don't get why they would say we dodged them if anything I would think that is the match up most Ohio State fans would like to see.  But UMass should be a good game, they are very similar in style to Florida.
