That is one of the dumbest posts I have ever seen. Were you calling for Zwick to transfer when he played the bowl game with a bad hammie? I'm not even going to get into the rest of it. Go ahead and miss a few meals so you are too weak to post.
Oh, try a paragraph break and spelling while you are at it. Idiot!
Edit: I wish posters like this would just stay at Bucknuts.

I'll go to my grave believing the outcome would've been different if TS hadn't taken $500 from some Booster tryingto be a big-shot. Regardless, Texasdid what needed to be done and OSU didn"t. |

After ~450 some-odd pages, this is probably the best statement in the thread, and the only one I can say isn't founded on hype or hyperbole. Every teams' fans are loyal to a fault, and every elite teams' fans expect a national championship and unbeaten season, and that just doesn't happen. The nature of CFB dictates that 118 teams' fans are going to be disappointed.
As we saw in 2002, you need an unbelievable combination of talent, playmaking and a little luck to go undefeated.
Neither team left anything on the field, and the Bucks have not eliminated themselves from National Championship contention. The simple fact of the matter is that the Bucks get a shot at a BCS game by winning the Big-10, and I honestly cannot see any team in the conference hanging with OSU this year. The Bucks are clearly one of the best teams in the country, even with a loss, and -- to steal a phrase from Lee Corso -- will be sneaking around the chicken coop all season long looking to be the biggest beneficiaries of any other team losing.
The outcome of the game is painful knowing the missed opportunities to take a 9 or even 13 point lead, but there isn't any shame in losing to one of the best teams in the country.

Just got back from the game guys..All I have to say is WOW. The crowd, the atmoshpere everything was just unbelievable. No doubt thats the loudest stadium in america IMO. By the way I did lose my voice (at the skull session).
As for the game. Hey my hats off to Texas their Defense did a fine job of hiding coverages and they did what they needed to do on offense. What bothers me about OSU is our offense after we had tremendous field position all day. I mean we get inside the 20 and we don't run the ball? Pittman ran really well last night and all the sudden we don't go to him near the goal line? come on thats just dumb
Also what bout Snittinker (spelling) he didn't get one carry I believe? come on he's 240 pounds. What just gets me [censored]ed off is Ginn only getting THREE touches.... THREE. When you want to win big ball games your playmakers have to step up and the coaches didn't give teddy that chance. I for one think we need an offensive coordinator. Here's why I say that. Sure we won big against a bad defense like michigan and a decent defense of Oklahoma State, but if we want to beat the big teams we need to score touchdowns not field goals. I think we had poor play calling, and it was far to conservative. Just image if the buckeyes put 2 or 3 of those field goals in the endzone for 7..... Then all the sudden its 31-10 in the 3rd quarter and the game is just about over.
Also another thing I noticed is this. OSU went deep ONE TIME and scored ONE TIME. So if my college statistics class is serving me correctly that gives us a pretty good play/touchdown ratio. Again Dumb play calling and just not realizing what our strenghts really are were obvious last night.
Do I believe OSU should've won the game? yeah I think, but we didn't and again my hats off to texas for playing a great game.
As for our defense they played great besides giving up the big play. I don't know how many plays Texas had for over 30 yards. They cannot do that against a team like texas and ultimatly it led to us losing the game. For sure when your offense doesn't score touchdowns when you force turnovers I'm sure the defense was saying to itself "what do we have to do". I thought they played the run great but man we just let recievers get behind us.
Overall this was a great game but man does this sting. Oh yeah Buckeyes by 10 next year in Austin!!

Flat out you should had told them - "[censored] you. Go to Ann Arbor if you wanna sit down."
Not to get too offtrack, but did anyone hear about Michigans stadium policy this year? lol. The Michigan alumni issued a notice to all ticket holders instructing them to stay seated during the game so that everyone can have an enjoyable experience. They said that if you dont comply with the rule that you can be kicked out.
LOL. Just another example of how quality (Shoe) is better than quantity (BigHouse). |

Sorry to bring this thing back to the top, but I don't know where else this post would fit.
Instant classic. ESPN classic should be showing this game by Tuesday this week. And I'm disappointed NCAA 2006 got rid of the College Classics option. If they bring it back for NCAA 2007, this game will surely be the latest addition.
Furthermore, if you told me before the game that UT would
-turn the ball over 3 times
-only rush the ball for 115 yards (I can't fathom this team not running for 200+, at least before last night)
-have problems again with kick coverage (or have trouble containing Ginn and Holmes depending on your point of view)
-have trouble getting David Thomas involved on offense
-have horrible starting field position
I would have given us a 0% chance to win the game. Why? Because based on the first 3000 posts on this thread, that was tOSU's gameplan, and the above is evidence it was executed well. But I guess that's why I love college football. Crazy [censored] happens.
