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

[youra6]

Just think about this. FSU only had 1 more TO than we did against Oregon, but FSU had already given up midway into the 3rd. All 5 FSU TOs led to Oregon touch downs.

OSU had 4 costly TOs, but Oregon was really only able to really capitalize on 1 of them.

That is the difference between us and FSU. FSU may be able to crawl back from deficits from inferior teams, but not from teams with equal or greater talent.

Combined with our resiliency and just flat our talent, there is not a single team that can beat us. Not Oregon. Not Baylor. And certainly not TCU.

I only saw Dontre in for 2 plays.... anyone disagree? (need to settle prop bet)

I saw 2 as well, but was pretty amped up and may have missed some..

Please, remove yourself from 12 Gauge's way....

After watching this several times, it was more than just #12 running over the nose tackle ... there was also another Oregon player hanging on 12 gauge.

After Jacoby Boren pushed on that other player, in effect delivering a "Bush Push", Jacoby added 3 more yards to the carry.

Great win guys. I don't think I will ever forget this.

Is Sports Illustrated not doing a championship package? I've waited forever for one of my teams to win a title and they stop doing that the year my team finally wins?

Edit: Oops, I see what you're saying. Not sure if they're doing a package or not. Here's the issue, regular and framed.

This is up, too:

lmao @ those calling OSU a dirty program (pertaining to the "late" hit on Mariota).

Anyone who saw the unsportsmanlike conduct called on Bennett should know it was all started by an Oregon player trying to take a cheap shot.

Sure this can be argued as a late hit I suppose. I also suppose that the pussification of Duck fans would also call a regular, good form tackle on their divine QB a "cheap shot".

We played, and beat, the #2, #4, #5, and #13 teams (final AP poll) in the country. As a team we scored 42, 42, 49, and 59 points against them (48 ppg), and three of those games were with our 3rd-string QB. How anyone would not have us as the pre-season #1 for 2015 is beyond me...

Go to Giovanni Pastrami's downtown to watch games...that's where to local OSU alumni club goes. They own the place on game days...

Good call :cheers:

What was the final estimate of Buckeye and Duck fans at the game? Looked like 65% Buckeyes to me.

Yeah, I would say about 2:1 for Ohio State. There were very, very few yellow/green shirts on the OSU side, but I'd guess about 1/4-1/3 of the Oregon side was scarlet.

The Nike Snowmageddon commercial immediately follow by the Brutus going to Disney World commercial. Buckeye saturation...

 

[Telekinesis]

I have decided not to shower for the rest of the work week, due to my last shower being the one that we won the NC with. I hope no one is offended.

 

[FCollinsBuckeye]

Does anyone know whether they'll rebroadcast the 'film room' version of the game? Unfortunately, I only recorded the main telecast and I wasn't able to flip between channels...

 

[MililaniBuckeye]

Good call :cheers:

How'd you like it?

 

[ExpatAkronite]

Duck fan is taking pride in the fact that they were involved in the three most watched programs in cable history. Maybe there is a future for them in reality tv (too bad duck dynasty is taken)?

Buckeyes run over cheerleader....

That's because things got a little crazy when the fireworks went off and Ohio State cheerleader Ally Nelson got ran over, but thankfully she wasn't hurt.

The girl's tougher than some of the Oregon players.

Thank you, I'll be here all week. Enjoy the veal....
