I just wish it was the Ohio State guys putting the skin on the floor to get the ball.
It's not that Ohio State wasn't hustling, but Florida certainly had a step. |

what these two teams did probably won't ever be replicated. It's not exactly fun to lose to the same team in both sports, but it isn't like someone else beat Ohio State to stop the matchup from happening.
oh yeah and wifey and baby are doing great after a little rocky patch there a couple weeks ago

thank u ODEN for playing for OSU and being the only BUCKEYE that showed up today and you abused that ugly ass Noah whose father has to go down in history being the only millionaire with such a ugly kid.
Noah your stock has dropped bigtime after being abused.
Horford was a man today. Lottery pick
Proud of the buckeyes no matter what and florida looked awesome and those 3's were killing me. No matter what team the buckeyes play it seems its 3 day all day long against them.
another 2nd place  |

I was angry because of all the hate talk people have given Ohio State over on the ESPN messageboard and all the lack of respect this team got the entire season. I was just mad to see a team like Florida, with the fan base that they have, win. |

well, it wasn't the result that i wanted, but quite honestly, it was better than i expected. we were as cold as i can remember from the perimeter, and they were unconscious. our season average from 3 was 37%. we hit 17%. double that to 34% (make 4 more) and we win. factor in TWO Oden blocks that found their way into Green and Humphrey's hands for wide open threes, and they are fouling US in the final two minutes.
it was a great game. we played our [censored]ing asses off, but we've got NOTHING to hang our heads about. we went toe to toe with the best college basketball team in the last 15 years WITH FOUR FRESHMAN, even though we were terrible from beyond the arc.
I AM SO PROUD OF THESE KIDS!
THANK YOU, Thad Mata!
THANK YOU, Ivan Harris!
THANK YOU, Ron Lewis!
THANK YOU, Jamar Butler!
THANK YOU, Mike Conley!
THANK YOU, Greg Oden!
THANK YOU, David Lighty!
THANK YOU, Othello Hunter!
THANK YOU, Daquan Cook!
THANK YOU, Matt Terwilliger!
THANK YOU, to anyone i just forgot...
you guys just did what no Ohio State fan that was born in the last 45 years has ever seen just by making it to the title game!
(BTW, THANK YOU, Andy Geiger for getting Matta!)
IT'S GREAT TO BE AN
OHIO STATE BUCKEYE!!!
