I'm curious what other explanation you have that makes half as much sense.

Two first downs in the second half.

I've posted it already but feel free to ignore it. What the hell, I'll summarize it. OSU led 14-7 with 3 minutes left in the 3rd quarter. MSU drove 75 yards in 13 plays to tie the game without completing a pass.

"Yeah, but the defense was tired because we kept going 3 and out!"

At that point in the game we had 17+ minutes of possession to their 24+, so in order to buy the "tired" excuse I have to believe our defense was so exhausted at that point they couldn't stop MSU from marching 75 yards in 13 plays without completing a single pass. Really? They didn't even have their starting QB. We knew they were going to run it, and they did anyway. Oh by the way, they also drove 75 yards in the first half to also erase a 7 point Buckeye lead - was our defense worn out then, too? They later got the game winning FG on a drive with one completion for six yards, the rest on the ground.

We're seeing how good they really are tonight. They rushed for 203 yards against the Buckeyes. They have negative yards tonight.

And is MSU's defense so damn good our athletes couldn't do a thing because of "play calling"? And where was Urban Meyer while this was going on? Does he not have a headset? Can he not get in Tim Beck's ear?

I'm tired of the "Tim Beck!" excuse. Is he deficient? Yep. Do I want him replaced? Yep. But the notion that he's the sole reason OSU lost at home, on Senior Day, to a back up QB, and gave up 203 yards on the ground, is ridiculous. It's scapegoating. It's laziness. Our TEAM dropped the ball. It happens.

By all means, quote one of my posts where I've crowed about our '54 or '57 "titles." I'll be waiting.

Don't be a dick. bucklion asked "When was the last time a non-OSU B1G team even played for a title? It's been a while hasn't it?", and I told him. Then you chimed in about title not half title, so I had to remind you that a half title as you call it is still a title. If it's awarded by AP or UPI (now coaches), it's legit period.

Another poster (systems) made the same comment I did, you just didn't notice (no surprise there) because he didn't quote you. And two posters liked my response to your post.

In short, grow a thicker skin. Or grow up in general. This is a Buckeye site, not a Michigan one.
