Just days after the feel-good story of the year involving Ted Williams broke in Ohio(see post below), multiple billboards appeared in Columbus congratulating TCU on its Rose Bowl defeat of Wisconsin, 21-19. The not-so-veiled message poked Ohio State president E. Gordon Gee for his less-than-flattering comments in late November about the quality of non-automatic qualifying schools such as TCU and Boise State and their schedules. "I do know, having been both a Southeastern Conference president and a Big Ten president, that it's like murderer's row every week for these schools," Gee said. "We do not play the Little Sisters of the Poor. We play very fine schools on any given day. So I think until a university runs through that gauntlet that there's some reason to believe that they may not be the best teams to [be] in the big ballgame." The power of outdoor advertising at its finest.
