I guess you'd be the one guy on these forums to know, Reggie.

I'm not an OSU fan, but I think it's cool that MTH made a train in their colors. I would like to see more teams represented. I'd love a Maryland Terps train. Now that would be cool.
The Gators just showed what I've believed for the last three years of watching Big 10 (11) football: It's a weak conference. The toughest competitors OSU faced this year were Michigan and Texas, and Michigan scored 38 points against them. So in their last 2 games OSU gave up 79 points. They were no match for the speed of the Gators defense. Smith was used to outrunning defensive players when he scrambled. And I swear FLA had 12 guys on the field; seemed like every play they had an unblocked defender in the backfield.
Don't get me wrong tho. OSU took care of business this season, beating everyone they were supposed to. But the conference needs more competition. Illinois is getting better and Wisconsin shows promise again too. So maybe in a couple of years???

The South is Football Country! they take it very seriously here. The SEC is a very tough league, with no walk in the park no matter which team you play. The biggest problem with this conference is that the teams that do make it to the bowl games have been beaten up the whole season. It is rare for a SEC team to be really healthy by this time of the year. I think that if the train manufacturers made some sets with the SEC teams, they would sell really well in the department stores....like I said, they take football real serious in these parts.
PS: Dr. John, Reggie played for Bama before the pros. He is a bit humble though and doesn't get all full of himself.

Hey Reggie, I didn't know you went to Bama! Roll Tide!
Got to hand it to Florida - they brought their A-game to the Fiesta Bowl. That was a Whuppin'!
Yea, I was really looking forward to a victory lap playing the fight song with my OSU train too...

The Gators played a better game and won The Buckeyes got too sure of themselves and it cost them. But they won the only game that realy matters they beat Michigan
I still like my OSU train. And there is always next year.

Wow. You guys are cold! Being a Northwestern fan, I am typically pretty quiet when it comes to football. However, I do root for the B10/11 during the bowl season. The results speak for themselves, the conference got a severe butt whoooping.
As with Proto 1 engines, maybe MTH can offer an "upgrade" to the Buckeye set to convert it to UF colors.
