Now all we have to do is beat Notre Dame (he says for his 9,000th post). Think about it...right when I started this thread, who would of imagined us running the table and facing Notre Dame in a BCS bowl?

Normally, I'm not one to advocate this, but today I am. The original "keep the faith" post by Mili way back in October deserves an award. I remember thinking after the PSU loss that the season was over. However; Mili was correct (at least as far as the regular season goes). That post did a lot to keep my head high. I'm sure a lot of other people read that and felt the same way.

We all knew that Texas would run the table, but who knew that our only other loss would be to #3 in the country Penn State. Given our end of season ranking, we lost to no one we shouldn't have (that is if you agree with the BCS rankings).

That's a great season. We beat scUM and we're playing ND in the Fiesta Bowl. Greenies to Mili for keeping our heads up with that post.

Damn, I hate when I'm so right. :biggrin:

Wow, what a year. Who'd of thought after the PSU game that we'd end up 10-2 with an impressive win over Notre Dame in our favorite bowl venue? Should Texas and Penn State win, we'll be #4 in all polls with our only losses being against the #1 and #3 teams by a total of 10 points. This is about as enjoyable and thoroughly satisfying season as a 2-loss season could possibly be.

yup... 10-2 feels much better when you win the last two as opposed to the way Coop used to do things...

make no mistake: this win over ND is HUGE for Jim Tressel and the Ohio State Buckeyes... don't think for a second that the prospective recruits for '07 weren't watching this game with serious interest...

This is a HUGE win. I could see us in the 5-6 range as far as preseason rankings. A lot of losses on D, so there will be a dropoff there, but our offense is going to be a lot of fun to watch next season. We may be seeing a reinvention of what "Tressel-Ball" really is.

Thanks for making us all look good Mili!!! :)

I agree with you. This win was huge and it will help a lot in the recruiting wars. Tressel showed that he is the superior coach. Mr Parcells, excuse me, Weis, took a real lesson in arrogance control.

We lose some incredible departing seniors and they will be sorely missed.

I am in tomorrow, while you are closing out a fantastic day for the Buckeye Planet. It feels even better tomorrow!

Good call way back then when so many thought we were out of it all.

Looking back, the part of my initial post that was actually fairly accurate was when I guessed that "the only real tests will be at Minny and at scUM, although MSU will be pretty tough." Those indeed were the only tests we had.

You what they say, if you put enough monkeys in front of enough typewriters one of them will write "War and Peace". Why do I have a craving for bananas all of a sudden?

It's all Freudian, based on a similar size and shape. I'll spare you the details. :wink2:
