Game Thread 2017 Cotton Bowl: OSU vs. USC - 12/29/17 @ 8:30 ET (ESPN)

You're right. I should be thankful...that the Buckeyes didn't make the playoff. Ban me, please. Before I say more of what everyone's thinking.

I'm thinking we just beat USC for the first time in over four fucking decades. Would I have liked to see the offense roll and hang 50? Sure, but at the end of the day I'm happy for the win, impressed by the D, humbled to be an alumnus of this great university that is firing on all cylinders with the foosball being a minor part of that and grateful for the belly full of 12 year old Aberlour I'm working on. What I'm not thinking about is shitting on a kid who, while not the perfect qb, led his team on the field, played his heart out every game and never for one fucking second embarrassed my university off the field.

Snap judgments:

1) Thank Schiano and Larry Johnson for the defense, because we did diddly poo offensively.

2) After five years and 50 starts, JT Barrett should really know what a play clock looks like. Eww. Glad to be done with that.

3) Why are we running jet tempo up 17 with 20 minutes left?

4) Why is USC running the play clock down to :01 before snapping the ball down three scores with 10 minutes left? Thanks USC!!!

I will say, frustrating as it was to watch, that it warms my heart that James Patrick Tressel is surely sitting at home, removing his sweater vest, and having a nice glass of warm milk before turning in for pleasant dreams of OSU beating the Trojans his way.

Are you kidding, Tressel went to bed at 10:00, which is an hour later than normal.

He'll see the results tomorrow in the paper. :)

I prefer the Tap Dancing form of Jesus Christ, but god damn... That’s impressive.

I may even use that. Well played.

Yeah...I was inspired by the Messiah's tremendous tap-dancing ability, but wanted to put my own twist on it. It's got a nice rhythm. Just like Jesus in tap shoes.

He let it loose tonight. He had 3 chewy chips a hoy with that milk

Number 2. The whole team drives me crazy about. Is no one other than Meyer allowed to call a timeout?
