Game Thread 2015 National Championship Game: (2) Oregon vs. (4) Ohio State, Jan 12th @ 8:30p ET, ESPN

I just saw that there are people bitching about our final TD being poor sportsmanship. Like we should have taken a knee. Are you fucking kidding me? In the national championship game? Not a chance. No way. If you don't want to get scored on, then stop us. If not, then shut the fuck up.

After browsing the Oregon boards for the last week, including a hot minute this morning, they seem to think this is feelingsball, and Ohio State and Urban Meyer are big meanies for hurting theirs. Tough Shit. Stop us or GTFO.

Cardale may beat everybody out for starting QB next year.

Not sure I'd go that far.

Manziel is reported to be working hard in the offseason.

Dragging at work but who cares?? NATIONAL CHAMPS!!

 

[MaxBuck]

Oh, and a big shout out to third world countries. Their Oregon Undisputed Champion shirts will be there shortly!

Haiti loves their Ducks.

They're also whining that Ohio State scored that last touchdown. If you don't want Ohio State to score, make a defensive stop. It isn't Ohio State's job to stop Ohio State.

Mea culpa, mea culpa ~ My bad as Urban knew I got 20-1 odds picking Ohio State to win by 21. As Vegas will tell 'ya, the game within the game.

Thanks Urban!

I just saw the way too early top 25. There isn't a sec team in the top 4!

Did our BUCKEYES finally break the secpn?

Desmond thinks the Ducks dropping 8 will "confuse" Jones? If they drop 8 we'll rush for over 300 yards.

Damn, I was wrong. We only rushed for 296.

They said that having a college football playoff would cheapen the regular season. They said fans might not want it. If the TV ratings from last night's Ohio State-Oregon national championship game are any indication, those assumptions were wrong. Not only was the championship game a smashing success on the field, it was the highest rated event in ESPN history.

Per ESPN's release, Ohio State's win over the Ducks picked up a 18.5 overnight rating, beating out last year's national championship game (a 15.3), and the previous record of 16.1 from the 2011 national championship game, when the Auburn Tigers defeated Oregon, which was previously the highest rated in cable history.

The top market for the game? That's Columbus, of course, which recorded an absolutely staggering 51.2 rating. Oregon's market, Portland, recorded a 37.6, and the broadcast smashed records all over the country, from Ohio State strongholds in Cleveland and Dayton, to disparate markets like Norfolk, Salt Lake City, and newfound Big Ten town, Washington D.C.

Cont'd ...

Does someone know something about USC that I don't?

So some fool picked MSU over the Buckeyes. Although Ohio State does have trouble against them at home. And MSU has Oregon at home their second game.

Hopefully ... Ohio State will be playin' their 5th, 6th or 7th string QB come playoff time "next year".

Oh yea, fuck next year as next year is now !!!

I mean, at that point it was like we had this huge cake in front of us. What do they expect, for us not to put some delicious frosting on top of it?
