Congratulations to your team tonight, they played very hard and really had a solid chance to win the game. I was very impressed with the improvements your team made over the past few months. This game really could have ended with either team on top, a few plays, calls, mistakes, etc. one way or the other and the result could have been flipped. The injuries that you guys suffered this game didn't help you either. But the heart that your team showed, and the desire in the game was all that you could ask for as a fan.
It was a great game, and I really like Tressel, and appreciate the respect that he gives the Texas program, and generally the way that he holds himself as opposed to a couple of other coaches yet to coach their bowl games this season. There have been 3 great games between these two huge universities and football programs in the last five years, and I have the a lot of respect for the Ohio State football team, and I think a lot of that stems from Tressel.
On the bright side for you guys is that Pryor just played in a HUGE game and showed so much brilliance for a true freshman, and the way you guys reload, I am sure that you will have some stout teams in the next couple of years.
Texas was lucky to leave the Fiesta Bowl with a victory tonight. Quan played out of his mind, and Colt battled through the best rush he has seen all year, to squeak out a victory where many pundits and Texas fans expected an easy cover and victory. I am sure it's not easy to take solace in a loss, or to claim a so-called moral victory, but if any team has that right this season, it is your Buckeyes tonight. Congrats on a solid, albeit disappointing season to some of you, and congrats for all of the great seniors that accomplished so much in their 4 years, yet have to leave with a record that is tarnished in the mind of some, and good luck for the 2009 season.
