[Steve19]

Thanks NDChief and for all the class you have shown on the way!:osu:

1) So much for Weis outcoaching Tressel.

2) We OWN the Fiesta Bowl.

3) Imagine, that mighty SC team had trouble with these guys. ND had every break in the game, but still got rolled. This was a complete domination that doesn't show on the scoreboard.

EDIT: We do not bash Buckeyes...present or former--21

Wait a second...am I understanding this correctly...

Antonio Pittman, Troy Smith, and Teddy Ginn are all going to be back next year?

Can you say the best RB, QB, WR combo in college football?

 

[NOTREDAMECHIEF]

What a great victory for Ohio State and the seniors on this team. Congratulations.

I guess we can start that Heisman campaign for Troy now.

He has my vote.....

 

[AkronBuckeye]

Ditto... Thanks Chief

 

[Buckeye513]

I want one of those hats.

 

[Young Bucknut]

Lets go back to tempe next year...

 

[GAMBLOR!]

Another thrilling Buckeyes victory! Troy Smith is the man, so many great throws and clutch plays.

This was a truly great team this year, and I think they are comparable to the 2002 team despite a few plays giving them their 2 losses. We have some solid recruits for next year, and I'm looking forward to another great Buckeyes football team!
