This is uglier then LSU's or UAB's by a mile.

I should ding you for posting that piece of garbage!

When OSU is leading and the defense is dominating, Tressel treats scoring like a luxury. If the offense can move the ball while buttoned-up, fine. If not, forget about it.

In the first half vs. Texas last year, Ohio State passed 10 times on first down. In the second half, forget about it. We had a lead, the defense was dominating.

That's just one example, and it deals only with run vs. pass on first down. There are numerous other aspects to Tressel-Ball and buttoning up the offense.

like only calling two pass plays in the entire second half?

Another reason the lower I see the score ending, the more I like the Bucks to win this one. Miles has been taking some serious risks this season, and there's a good chance he'll take a gamble or two in this one. Tressel will BURN
him if that's the case....

I was getting a little concerned that nobody had shown the single ugliest piece of fucking monkey shit on God's green earth.

One of our friends from Louisiana may be able to tell me for sure but I could swear that I remember seeing a white LSU helmet with all the normal markings that I actually thought looked pretty damn sharp.

Oh yeah, Fuck scUM

Looking forward to 2 different look quarterbacks...henton & boeckman

3 different look backs...wells (smash mouth and speed) m. wells ( slashing and finesse) saine (hard runner and out of the backfield catches everything thrown his way)

Robo & Hartline - again catch everything and good YAC

Small - change of pace and gadget plays

Defense - 'Nuff said

GO BUCKS!:osu:

LSU and Tulane wore commemorative uniforms in this years game in honor of Hurricane Katrina victims. They were auctioned off after the game in an effort to raise more money.

 

[BuckeyeGanoosh]

I have to admit that the white helmet uni there against Tulane is much better than the typical LSU attire.

Happy New Years everyone!

Buckeyes: a need for speed?
Ohio State does the slow burn when talk turns to who's the fastest

THE COLUMBUS DISPATCH

Ohio State receiver Brian Hartline



Being an Ohio native, Brian Hartline might be slow by definition, but his mind was racing.
The receiver got flustered while answering questions about the dreaded "Southern speed" that Ohio State will face Jan. 7 against Louisiana State in the national championship game.
Several times, Hartline had to stop himself as his thoughts came faster than he could sort them out.
"Yeah, we're not fast. We're slower than normal," Hartline said sarcastically. "I don't know, it's so sensitive. ? I don't understand how the people down in the (Southeastern Conference) are like, not human, and then we are human or something."
If there's one subject sure to boil the Buckeyes' blood, it's speed. It goes hand in hand with the SEC's supposed superiority over the Big Ten, even though the conferences have split their meetings in bowl games the past decade.

More than bowl for Buckeyes: Team takes good look at New Orleans

By MATT MARKEY
BLADE SPORTS WRITER


NEW ORLEANS - The top-ranked Ohio State Buckeyes will funnel onto a chartered jet at the Columbus airport tomorrow morning and land here about two hours later.

It is the first visit to this delta city the powerhouse football program has made in 10 years, so there is not a lot of familiarity with the area, the culture, or the Louisiana Superdome, the site of next week's BCS national championship game against
No. 2 LSU.

But Ohio State coach Jim Tressel is hopeful that more than a month of study and research and detailed preparation will make this less than a foreign land.

OMG - If I hear one more reference to the "Sec Speed" bs I think I'm gonna hurl. LSU has one guy that may have some wheels on offense, but we're not going to look like the minivans chasing crotch rockets they've written our team off to be.

Les Miles is fortunate that they have played so many tight games this year, Tressel is a master at a small lead, and he will need that experience.

LSU fans are overconfident mostly due to the game last year in January, but the media sure isn't helping paint the prettiest picture for the Buckeyes.

Although they won't say it, Espin LOVES the bucks when they get into the big games, because our fan base carries weight, influence, and money.

But, like Oklahoma in 2004, it's PC to insist that Ohio State has no chance, due to their (try to keep from gagging) lack of team speed. That's just the way it is. The Big Ten was down this year. Ohio State didn't beat anyone worth a flying zurp. They even lost to an unranked team. There's a bunch of reasons the SEC is currently more popular than the Big Ten.

This "overall lack of team speed" didn't hurt Ohio State much in 2002. I don't think it was the issue in 2006. I think Ohio State will be in good shape on January 7.

 

[notfadeaway]

Not sure that I have read this anywhere...but what is the situation in practice as far as 1's vs 1's to rep the "speed"??? I would gather that as long as they get to see that a bit in practice that they will be just fine.

 

[cjmik_75]

Enough is enough...




Buckeye fans, let's face it, tOSU doesn't have a chance in this game. They're linebackers are too slow, they're lineman are too fat, they're coaches are lightyears behind the "SEC style" of football, they're conference is the weakest in Div. 1, their OOC schedule proves how weak they truly are, they're WR's and RB's have no chance vs a clearly superior All-American SEC defense and last but not least tOSU is 0-8 in bowl games vs SEC.

Why are they even bothering to fly down there and play? It's obvious they don't have a chance in hell playing any SEC team in the superdome most especially LSU. Can we talk them into staying and saving themselves from being embarassed?









Fuck that shit...

here's to tOSU giving em all a big shit-burger to eat!!!
