Game Thread BCS Championship Game, tOSU vs. Florida - Jan 8th

I'm glad to see I'm not the only one too excited/nervous to sleep.

I've found myself playing the what if game as well and thinking about similarities between Florida and our '02 team until I just had a moment of clarity.

Basically, I'm sitting here freaking out until I just had to remind myself that if I can't just sit back and have confidece in a Jim Tressel coached, Troy Smith led team with superior talent in a big game, then that's my problem, not OSU's.

We'll be fine. Go Bucks!!!

Now I just have to catch a couple more hours of sleep before making the trip to Columbus.

Troy Smith's poise is crucial for victory

Can Gators slow down Heisman winner?

By Sheldon Ocker

Beacon Journal sportswriter

GLENDALE, ARIZ. - Persuading a football coach to reveal specific elements of his game plan is a little like expecting coach Jim Tressel to switch his profession to stand-up comedy. It isn't going to happen.

BCS CHAMPIONSHIP GAME

OHIO STATE VS. FLORIDA
Monday, January 08, 2007 Jodie Valade
Plain Dealer Reporter
Glendale, Ariz. -- The other day, Mattie Smith gave an autographed picture of her grandson to a young boy at church. The little boy had been asking about Antonio Smith, begging to hear stories about his life, about how he made it from there to here. Mattie Smith was full of tales, as usual, but had one lasting message.
