Thanks, Buckeyes

Thank you, Buckeyes, for beating That School Up North...

Thank you for making me forget about last year's loss, and this week's news...

Thank you for making all those wannabes put their "M" hats back in the closet for another year...

Thank you, Troy Smith, for delivering the most incredible performance I have ever seen against That School Up North in my lifetime...

Thank you for having such a great game despite the fact that people wanted you yanked from the starting lineup, and despite the fact that your good friend is at war with your team.

Thank you for being humble about your legendary performance...

Thank you, Ted Ginn, Jr., for being the most electrifying player at any level of football this season...

Thank you, Jim Tressel, for opening up the playbook...

Thank you for going for it on fourth down on the goalline. They may not have got the touchdown, but it showed that the Buckeyes meant business...

Thank you for beating That School Up North more times in four years than John Cooper ever did...

Thank you for placing such great emphasis on the rivalry...

Thank you for returning bragging rights to us...

Thank you, Santonio Holmes, for not sulking over sharing the ball with Ted Ginn. You are a great team player...

Thank you, Kyle Turano, for making one of the greatest punts ever by an OSU player. If that last punt goes 45 yards instead of 71, there's no third field goal by Nuge, and much more stress for Buckeye fans at the end of that game...

Thank you, Mike Nugent, for being such a great player and team leader. We'll miss you...

Thank you, offensive line, for giving Troy Smith the opportunity to utilize his talents today...

Thank you, Mark Snyder and the entire defense, for picking yourself up by the bootstraps after giving up two touchdowns...

Thank you, AJ Hawk, for coming back next year...

Thank you, Maurice Clarett, for challenging that NFL rule, thereby guaranteeing that we will have Ted Ginn, Jr. for two more seasons...

Thank you, fellow Buckeye fans, for rockin' the 'Shoe...

Thank you for confirming once again that this is the greatest game in all of sports...

Thank you, Underclassmen, for improving so greatly over the past several weeks. The best is yet to come...

Thank you for giving your all and leaving it all on the field for the Seniors...

Thank you, Seniors. It is a special thing to leave Ohio State with three sets of Gold Pants and a ring...

Thanks for putting it all in perspective jlb.

Wow. That is right. 3 gold pants and a ring for this senior class. That is absolutely incredible.

Thank you Nate Salley, Donte Whitner and Dustin Fox for coming back so soon off injury and making a huge difference in the game.

And, as 3yards said, thank you jlb for a very nice blog.

Thanks for blitzing! In my opinion when Ohio State starting blitzing in the second quarter the game changed. The silver bullets deserve a lot of credit. They played a heck of a game.

Thank you, Maurice Clarett, for challenging that NFL rule, thereby guaranteeing that we will have Ted Ginn, Jr. for two more seasons...

Exactly thank you Maurice and on a side note Maurice could take lessons from Teddy. It is okay to be humble when you are an instant star!!

Thanks to Jim Tressel for restoring class to the Buckeyes -- and for still being able to win the big ones.

Thank you Ted Ginn Sr. for raising a humble and classy son who will not embarass the university and his parents with his actions off the field, with the media glare now upon him
