It is always the darkest before dawn. I believe in my team. Losing interest? You were never truly interested in the first place.

Come on, that is crap. Nobody is losing interest. And I doubt anybody on this board is any type of a fairweather fan. There was little to cheer about in the first half. I'll watch and root and pull up to whistles end, but I need some medication for my heart and stomach right now.

Same plays, bad mix, but even worse execution. Troy is WAY off his game.

Smith is not seeing or feeling pressure. He is not reading the defense as he should be. There has been a couple pass plays that Florida was obviously sending extra people and Smith didn't see it.
He better start seeing it becasue as bad as OSU is getting beat, Florida will really pin their ears back and send the house a lot in the second half.

The O line has been the worst aspect of a team that is getting beat everywhere. No push. Poor pass coverage. They look like they are standing in the proverbial cement

Alright everybody take a step back and breathe.

First of all, I think Tressel did just a horrible job of coaching in the first half. Going for it on 4th down was terrible. Why didn't he try to run the ball more? It just seemed like he never did any damage control. I might have just ran the clock out instead of letting Smith try to throw, then he fumbled.

Can't do anything about the first half, you have to move on.

The D has to come out and make a stop. It HAS to. If you can go get a stop, and a TD then you can relax and play your game. YOU HAVE TO GET A STOP.
Unless is ankle is broken, Ginn has to attempt to play. He has to.
Run the ball. You still have 30 minutes. You have to get more balance on offense.

I know it looks bleek, but it's not over. You have to play with a sense of urgency, but don't panic.

I really don't know why we ran right on that play. Going left has been our bread & butter all season.....

That was not aimed at you but a person that said they were losing interest.

bottom line is we're giving them points.... they've started 5 of their drives INSIDE our territory... They've only earned 10 of their points. I...

Are you kidding me??? The defense set up the points but I would bet the Ohio offensive players would admit that the gators "earned" the points. Just because they are not driving the length of the field doesn't mean they didn't earn the points. Take away the gimmie TD Florida spotted you on the opening kick off and it is a real blow out. Give the gators credit...they are handing it to OSU so far. Still a lot of game to play though....

Going back and looking at it, wasn't it 21-0 (or something like that) in the 2001 Outback under JT. They came all the way back to tie it at 28 before losing on a last-second field goal. This team HAS the ability to do it. First things first though. We HAVE to get the stop on the opening possession of the first half, and go down and score some kind of points. Get some turnovers and some breaks, and we're right back in this thing.

Time to take a breath. We're doing better than the score suggests.

Really? I think we're still in this game, but I'd say we're playing about exactly how the score suggests. Take away the opening kickoff, and this is 34-7, and it looks like it's been 34-7. I have faith in the coaches to get the guys going, but a stop on the opening drive is absolutely imperitive. If they score to start the second half, hate to say it, the game is over.
