Fuck the LA Times

Seriously, The LA Times can go fornicate itsself with a saguaro cactus. We can't all be so lucky as the Pac-10 with it's three (four as of 2009) bowl tie ins against the MWC or WAC, vs our one with the MAC. Hell, even the Big East only has 2, and they barely qualify as a Big Six conference. LA needs to just STFU and write about celebrity gossip. So for the record OSU 7 Bowls 6 BCS opponents tied in, Pac-10 7 now, 8 in 2009 3/4 out of 8 against MWC or WAC.

Texas Longhorns know Ohio State Buckeyes have more than a lone star at QB

Tuesday, December 30, 2008 Doug Lesmerises
Plain Dealer Reporter

Phoenix- Texas defensive end Brian Orakpo sounds ready if Ohio State does put quarterbacks Terrelle Pryor and Todd Boeckman on the field together in the Fiesta Bowl and Pryor winds up doing something other than throwing the ball.
"If he wants to catch the ball on a slant, here we come," Orakpo said with a smile after arriving in Arizona on Monday afternoon. "That's the name of the game. We'll see."
The winner of the Nagurski and Lombardi awards said the Longhorns prepared in bowl practice for both OSU quarterbacks to play individually on Monday, even though Boeckman didn't complete a pass for six games before the Michigan finale.
<A HREF=&quot;http://ads.cleveland.com/RealMedia/ads/click_nx.ads/www.cleveland.com/xml/story/s2/s2osu/@StoryAd?x&quot;><IMG SRC=&quot;http://ads.cleveland.com/RealMedia/ads/adstream_nx.ads/www.cleveland.com/xml/story/s2/s2osu/@StoryAd?x&quot;></A> "Pryor is a running threat, so we have to make sure we contain him, and Boeckman is more of a pocket passer, so we have to get a pass rush on him and get to him," Orakpo said, correctly reciting the OSU QB primer.
There's always the chance Boeckman's potential role in the offense is just talk. A year ago, there was chatter that backup quarterback Antonio Henton would play some role supplementing Boeckman, and Henton didn't get off the sideline in the BCS National Championship loss to LSU.

Anyone know the announcers for this game? After covering the first two tOSU - Texas games, Brent Musberger would have a field day with the "This will be the tiebreaker all the Nation wanted to see ", and another 3 1/2 hrs of the Colt and Shipley roomate comments that have provided much fodder for opposing teams message boards.

It'll be whoever Fox deems appropriate?

Matt Vasgersian, Tim Ryan, and a couple no name sideline reporters. Definitely sounds like their A Team. We might be asking for Thom Brenaman and his incessant "Louisiana State University".

You're not thinking that the "2 QBs on the field" thing was intentionally leaked, regardless of whether The Dispatch was in on it, are you? Just to make Texas spend some practice time on it - interesting.

Damn conspiracy theorists, ruining the reasoning for the indignant Buckeye fans to bitch about irresponsible reporting by the local rag. :wink2:
