I noticed that too. My only explanations are that since we have 3 AFCA championships, we have a trophy for each. Or, we have two, one for the BCS championship and one to Jim Tressel for winning AFCA coach of the year.

Yeah, I'd like the Tennessee game too. I'll seed for a while after in case anyone else wants it :D

I've bashed Heacock before, especially after the last two games last year, and this year's Illinois game. But then I look back and realize, the defense really didn't give up the 600 yards to Florida people make it seem like they did. And Illinois' offense, the aggressive freeze-your-defense...

We've got a whole lot of players right now itching for January to get here. The only better opponent for us would have been Florida, these kids are going to be fired up at a chance to avenge last year's loss to an SEC team. LSU's butter-soft rush defense is going to meet the best back it's seen...

Oklahoma taking Missouri behind the woodshed was expected, but Rich Rodriguez being beaten like a red-headed stepchild (before you get offended, I'm Irish :tongue2:) by the Wannstache? We may be facing Georgia. We may face Kansas. Maybe LSU or Virginia Tech. No matter who we face, or what...

I'll take "Screen pass or OL failure" for $1000, Alex. I guess getting frustrated by our linebackers made the line decide to try blocking them. But they forgot about the entire DL.

Ironic that the only way for us to get a quality win is to lose to a team so they manage to get ranked. And then it doesn't count as a quality win

Heacock blew a lot on that game. I don't think I saw us spying Juice very much, and why we stayed in nickel almost the entire game knowing damn well they weren't going to pass every down, I don't know. Chekwa got picked on, especially in the first half. We really could have used Jenkins there...

I remember how Leman completely owned our offense last year. I also remember how our OL is playing much better this year, our quarterback is perhaps just as comfortable in the pocket, and our running back punishes linebackers like a Mack truck plowing full-steam into a trash can. I think...

It's been said before, but yes, I have friends in the SEC who refer to being "Croomed" and "Zooked." Ron Zook is very renowned for beating good teams (Wisconsin, Penn State, FSU, LSU) and then losing to very bad teams (Ole Miss, Iowa). I'm not saying we have to worry about it, I'm just saying...

Truth. It was perfect for a visit. Wisconsin gave us a game long enough that the crowd was rocking, we still blew them out to impress him, and Block O was chanting his name several times.

Kirk Barton is making a living off drilling ESPN in post-game interviews (he called out Mark May, and answered Pat Forde's question with a big "Oh, hey, welcome to the bandwagon."). The entire team seems to have this mentality that nobody respects them. It reminds me of the "soulja" mindset of...

Penn State has the best fans in college football. With such witty, funny, and intelligent signs at GameDay as ":osu:verrated", it's easy to see why Penn State is the backup school to a fancy, shmancy Ivy League school. Oh, wait, that's a terrible sign, and will look awful when the Buckeyes walk...

There you go. Make Kirk Barton even more intense, angry and focused than he usually is. He'll go Orlando Pace on everyone and start a race with Beanie to see who can put more defenders on their back, the Stiff Arm of Justice or Kirk. Personally, I would like to see that very much.

There's only two ways I see this Buckeyes team gettiing beat. The defense will only be beaten by a very balanced, talented offense. Penn State doesn't have that. The team can also be beaten if a team can keep the game close and get a fortuitous turnover or break to allow them to get the lead...

The 2005-06 Orange Bowl?

Two straight possessions end in turnovers returned for TDs. Your 24 point lead crumbles to 10 points. You've got nothing going for you now, momentum is all on the other team. The crowd gets behind you (and the stadium was rocking), and Tresselball rears its ugly head. At the perfect time...

Last year's defense was so opportunistic, and bend-don't-break. I'm sure it's been said many times, but we gave up so much yardage, and was even outgained in a few games there. I feel a lot more confident with an offense that can get it done and a defense that resembles a brick wall than I do...

I haven't read through this whole thread, but... Has anyone else noticed this? #1 Ohio State flying high coming home to play in the Horseshoe against a Michigan State Spartans team with guess who as a coach? Mark Dantonio. Just like 1998. I'm not saying we'll lose, we're the better team and...

I don't think it's very subtle, you know? Tressel's pretty much just been telling him to sack up and take the pain like a man. I just saw an interview today with Archie Griffin where he mentioned how thankful he was that the Michigan game was the last game of the regular season. He said going...
