I just got back from visiting my son's in laws. My wife and I went over there for a couple of hours for dessert. One of the uncles was over there (who I have met before) and for some reason this guy doesn't seem to like me even though I have said only a handful of words to him. Well my son's father in law come up to me and told this uncle (let's call him Joe, not his real name) that I went to Ohio State and I follow the Buckeyes, and then told me that Joe is a Notre Dame fan. I thought we would have a light heartened conversation about the game, but no he starts talking trash about Urban and that he doesn't like him...blah, blah, blah....

I reminded him didn't Urban used to coach at Notre Dame under Lou Holtz, and then proceeded to tell a story about meeting the coach in the Indianapolis airport trying to change the subject. Immediately after the story he states he used to like Ohio State when they had Tressel but not anymore as they hired that scum bag Urban, he hates OSU and Meyer and that he is doing the same crap that he did when he was at Florida. I asked him to remind me what crap he was talking about, since his time at UF and OSU do not to me look even remotely similar. He stated that Urban was a gaint scum bag and a liar and that was when my son walked up and tried to lighten the mood (because this guy was getting visibly angry) stated "so I hear Joe is discussing Notre Lame again, and how do you think your guys will do in the running game since Washington is not playing." He then went on a tirade that again Urban is the scum of the earth and we should be ashamed that we even root for a team that is coached by such a scumbag.
At that point I have had enough and asked him "so I understand your coach is the virtue and the standard bearer of all what is right with college football." He went on a tirade again against Meyer (again with no specifics) and at that point I look at my son and say "Scissor lift". While the other people in the room had no idea what i was talking about old loud mouth Joe certainly did since I didn't hear another peep out of him, just a cold dumb stare for the next hour.
While I admit I wanted to see OSU win on New Year's Day I wasn't looking for the blood crazed sacrifice ala Scum this year, but now screw this guy and every holier than thou Irish fan and their purple faced, profanity laced, devoid of any human compassion of a coach.
I hope we hang a hundred on them and as I reminded Joe as I left the room I knew Brian Kelly when we were both at Grand Valley State and he was an ass then and an even bigger ass now.....

That's really cool. Not everybody gets to spend Christmas day with the Grinch.

I find your lack of Lizzie Seeburg smack disturbing.

GOOD FIESTA MEMORIES. The last time Ohio State and Notre Dame met, the Buckeyes mangled Brady Quinn and trashed the good vibes of Charlie Weis' first year in South Bend.

Outside of the Courtesy Jim Tressel seven-point spot to begin the game, the whole game ruled.

From 247sports.com's walk down memory lane:

The win allowed Ohio State to become the first school to a 4-0 record in Bowl Championship Series games, although USC can match that mark with a win over Texas in Wednesday's Rose Bowl. OSU also takes a 3-2 lead in the all-time series with Notre Dame.

"The number one goal we had was to make sure our seniors left here with some wonderful memories," said Tressel, whose team ended the year on a seven-game winning streak. "They've done an extraordinary job. We're proud of them and the underclassmen for being committed to them. It was a tough football game. Our kids deserved to win it."

OSU led 21-7 at halftime, but could not put Notre Dame (9-3) away until Antonio Pittman's 60-yard touchdown run with 1:46 left. That was Ohio State's fourth long touchdown, following Troy Smith's touchdown passes of 56 yards to Ted Ginn Jr. and 85 yards to Santonio Holmes and Ginn's 68-yard touchdown run on a reverse.

If Ohio State plays like it can then the 2015 Fiesta Bowl will be a redux of 2006. Fave this tweet.

Secondly, because of the contributions of Ohio State's senior class, I have no doubt the Buckeyes will come to play next Friday.

FIESTA BOWL TRAVEL MEANT TO BE ENJOYABLE, BUT REMAINS BUSINESS TRIP FOR OHIO STATE, NOTRE DAME

65455_h.jpg,qitok=8GMVTfdI.pagespeed.ce.I-sz_k-lly.jpg


If you're an Ohio State football player, there's a good chance you'll get to break in the New Year in a different city than Columbus. A program steeped in a tradition of winning and winning big usually means the team competes in an upper-tier bowl game every season.

Urban Meyer's 2015 club is no exception. A year after visiting New Orleans and then Dallas for the Sugar Bowl and College Football Playoff National Championship Game in successive weeks, the Buckeyes are set to head to Arizona Sunday for the Fiesta Bowl and a New Year's Day date with Notre Dame.

"Two legendary programs," Meyer said Dec. 6. "A great bowl game. I've personally been there, I know Ohio State has a great tradition there too. I'm very excited and do our best to play well."

The matchup between the Buckeyes and Fighting Irish on paper is a television executive's dream. A pair of longstanding programs with a slew of national titles and Heisman Trophy winners battling on the first day of a new year and slotted in the midday slot at 1 p.m. It has the potential to turn in monster ratings on the heels of two of the most passionate fan bases in the country.

The players feel that, too.

"Based on the simple fact that we are playing Notre Dame and I think that things that people are thinking about is our fan base and we are both big and with that it is going to be anticipated and it is going to be a highly watched game," Buckeye quarterback J.T. Barrett said Dec. 17. "I think that is keeping our guys going … This might be watched more than one of the Playoff games."

I'm thinking the loss of Adolphus is going to hurt quite a bit and the domers will pound the middle. Hopeful Bosa can slide inside and not get pushed around too much or force a double team and offset their advantage. If Bosa does move inside the edge is much more susceptible to big plays.
