I remember, after that game, the game where Adam Taliaferro was injured for Penn State. Directly after that play, and with Penn State demoralized and worrying about their newly paralyzed player, John Cooper decided to run up the score. Taliaferro was injured with less than two minutes left in a game where we were winning by by over 30 points. What did Cooper do? A play-action pass leading to a touchdown. Classless.

We have already paid Paterno back, and then some, some would say. It is true that the Ohio State community and medical team was outstanding and really stood up and helped Taliaferro and made us proud after his injury. Taliaferro is now reciprocating this love with his help of Gentry (being discussed on Gameday now). Still, at this point, I would call it even and let these dogs lie.

Go Gentry and go Ohio State. I want to kick their asses today, with class.

I considered it even when we were up 38-0 on their top 5 team in '96. I think we can get a good slogan out of that last part. Jim Tressel: Kicking ass with class since 2001.

The last score of that game was a 7 yard run by Sammy Maldanado at the end of an 11 play drive that covered a whopping 56 yards. Ohio State had the backups in for the entire drive and almost every play was a run between the tackles.

Taking 40 yard shots at the endzone as the time is winding down would certainly be classless, but of course that's not what actually happened. Throwing the ball to get a first down so you don't have to give your opponent the ball back is part of the game.

Cry me another freakin' Nittany river.

Classy.

It was 4th and 6 when we passed the ball on the play directly following his injury, all this despite being up by over 30 points with less than 2 minutes left. We scored on the very next play.

You ask me to cry you a river? Perhaps instead you should learn a bit of class and stop embarrassing us Buckeyes that know what the word "class" means.
