I had a conference and board committee meeting in Memphis all day and just got back. The last part of the day involved a trip to Graceland.
I have to say something very positive about the SEC fans who were working there. When I started asking about the score they gave me regular updates. Incredible kindness. And I was sitting with a Penn State and TSUN professor in the meeting.

All I have to say to the knuckleheads (they know who they are) attempting to downgrade this win by Ohio State (Because, as you said, they looked DOMINANT) is to remember the 2000 season going up against a seemingly "average" Minnesota team.
I don't care how average or good someone is, if the other team is converting 90% of their 3rd downs (as OSU was close to doing most of the game), you're going to lose. Part of it might be your team, but quite a bit of it was OHio State doing what they HAD TO DO TO WIN.

This just can't be serious...

Ohio State ALWAYS seems to struggle in Happy Valley.
And I'm not entirely sure what not knowing anything about football has anything to do with it. I mean hell they gave Craig James a friggin Color analyst job.....
And I'm ALSO not entirely sure what the Bengals have to do with anything either...... |
The bolded part is the main point, no matter how good PSU is in your expert opinion, Mark. Just look at the last 2 years against PSU, 1-1, two tough games, and tOSU was obviously the more talented team. |

If you get a chance, watch the UGA - Florida game if you can. Very very good game on both sides and some things I've never seen before happened.

If you mean he occasionally says nice things about scUM ... then yes. But also says nice things about Ohio State. If you want a broadcaster that has their head stuck up skunkbear butt, I'd suggest Greasy Griese. That guy is almost as bad as watching Ntre Ame on NBC.
