I just wanna say congrats to Texas...you guys played a great game and definitely gave us all we could handle. With a couple changes here and there, it could have gone the other way. Definitely went right down to the wire and we saw two teams play their hearts out. Of course I am dissappointed about many things, but it was one hell of a college football game. I look forward to our matchup next year so we can get a little payback :wink2:

again congrats

the Bucks will fall in the polls after the game they played.
Who would they replace them with? Iowa, OU, UM, Missouri, Arkansas, I cain't see any body who they think would be better for the number 4 position.

These are the kind of games that make me laugh about the pollsters. #2 beats #4 in a very close, could have gone either way game....#4 drops 5 spots. I just don't see the logic. If you already think "team A" is better than "team B", when "team A" wins the game why do you all of a sudden think teams C-G are better than "team B"? Shouldn't you proudly keep them in the same spots and say "I told you so" to everyone who said you were wrong about your rankings?

Great game Horns. My body hurts all over from being there for 20 straight hours. If our offense wasn't so inept, the game would have be ours by 2 TD's.

One thing I did notice, and it happens all the time, is that on the rare occassion we did beat the O-line getting to Young, we got drug down from behind and it wasn't called even once. I wish I brought my camera in. 1st quarter alone they missed 4 flagrant holding calls that would have constituted sexual assault charges on the street. Fucking horrible.

Can't wait for the return game though. See you in Austin Horns.

One thing I dont think many has touched on with this game that we thought we wouldnt have a problem with - Penalties and Fumbles. While its fresh in our minds about how Hawk picked off VY, nad that he recovered a forced fumble, we amassed 3 fumbles and lost one. We also had eight penalties for 78 yards. Hard to get out of the red zone and into the end zone when you keep getting backed up. Hell, hard to stop Vince Youngs comlpletions when your giving them free yaradage and first downs.

We all saw a fabulous football game last night. I can't feel bad because of such a great effort on both sides! Any negative comment would just take away from one of the best games I've ever seen. It's a long season and anything can still happen.

WOW !!! but now is the time Our beloved Buckeyes need us most!!!

Although it is extremely painful and there are many reasons to show concern for this and that (penalties/ 2 QB system possibly) .. now is the time to support our beloved Buckeyes most !!!

Things to be proud of :
* WOW was AJ Hawk just OMG WOW !!! I love that kids intensity and vision for the game. The whole LB crew, whew they played well !!! AJ Hawk is a player for the ages and someone to be proud of for a long long time!!! Plus he is a great kid in person!!! A GREAT representative of what it is to be a Buckeye !!!

* There are many positives for the the offense, as opposed to recent years. There is hope at all positions. The Offensive line is a heck of alot better than in years past and they will only get better with maturity. Plus
they now have depth. The running back position has promise and will only get better, especially as they mature too . Looking way ahead, but I can't wait til Chris "Beenie" Wells comes and joins MoWells, then look at all the horses in the stable!!


* HECK just being a Buckeyes is still a Beautiful thing and that was one heck of a game!!! That is what Football is all about !!! WoooooHooooooooo
I love this game!! Still got pains in my stomach from all the mistakes and the *gulp* *gasp* *cough* loss, but I loved entertaining such a storied team like Texas in the Horseshoe and The Buckeyes made a game of it. Although there were too many penalties and IMO the "two QB system" is not a way to win a game, I still feel for both of our QB's who tried !!! Let's not forget they are still young men who still have alot to learn about the game and/or life and deserve our support no matter what!!! They chose to be Buckeyes and they both play their hearts out and although one or the other made some major errors in judgement ... they still are Buckeyes and Family forever!!! Sometimes going in and out after a few series or even after a quarter makes it hard to get a true feel for the game and for the opposing defense. Picking up the opposing teams tendencies and getting a full feel for the speed of the game is hard to do from the sidelines or again when your only in there for two or three series and then out and then back in. They tried but were flat at times. No excuses for the mistakes but that's a fact in defense. They should be expected to do anything .. it's the big time BUT again they are still very young and still learning and even Pros have a hard time under those circumstances.

Overall a hard fought football game and not something to hang our heads about ... OK Frickin FRAKin DAMNIT it STILL HURTS #&#&#%&^@$# !!! I tackled my next door neighbor last night after the game and now I am stuck with a few medical bills but it was worth it and I feel much better now... he's a m!chi!g@n fan and deserved (note: ok j/k but I had a wonderful dream about doing it ... does that count?)

Just got back from Columbus. Man, what a tough loss to swallow. My throat is hoarse, and my feet hurt from walking around all day and standing up for the entire game.

That was the most amazing game I have ever witnessed, even though we lost it. The crowd was so loud that I could not hear myself think. Texas fans are as crazy as we are about their football and represent. Texas students and fans were everywhere on campus the night before the game. Very impressive, and I hate to say it, pretty intimidating.

Sure, I was depressed when the loss became apparent, but singing Carmen Ohio after the game does wonders to make you feel better. After mulling over the game for almost a day, I can't be dissapointed with our Buckeyes. It was the second game of the season, and we played the #2 team in the nation. A loss was a very realistic possibility (even though I wasn't ready to admit it last week). I don't think anyone would have seen us losing the way we did, but I am by no means dissapointed with our teams performance. We gave the world an amazing, heart-stopping, game for the ages. It was anyones to lose with 5 minutes to go in the 4th Quarter.

Both teams are now 10 times better having played this game, and it gives me tremendous hope for the future. Lessons will be learned, adjustments will be made, and we will become a better team because of it.

My seats were ridiculous (13AA row 5), so I'll be posting up some (hopefully) awesome pictures of the game.

Five things were made very apparent to me:

1) A.J. Hawk blew my mind
2) Holmes is the best WR in the nation
3) I am now a Vince Young fan. The man's got guts, and his athletic talent is out of this world.
4) Our defense is INCREDIBLE and the Big 10 is in for some shit (Sure we lost, but we did *that* to Texas!)
5) Ohio State fans can sometimes be too crazy for their own good. Take a deep breath, step back from the ledge, and just remember we can't blow out every team and win an NC every year.

After all the brutality on the field tonight, the Ohio State band capped it all off with a classy move.
The stands were empty of Buckeye fans — only the celebrating Horn folks remained — when the Buckeye band launched into a version of “Texas Fight.”
Nice way to honor the team that handed Ohio State it’s first home nonconference loss in 15 years and its first home night-game loss ever.
Great game. Great night for the Horns.

I have to say..

..your LB corp was just as good as advertised, if not better. They are the best group in the country, hands down. They will ALL be in the NFL,imo. I give much praise to your defense in stopping VY. I thought the final score would be Texas 17 Ohio St 13....guess I under estimated our offenses. I loudly applaud your guys effort for making me say many a curse word during the 3rd and 4th quarters. BTW, this board is the classiest board I have been to. Very knowledgeable, and not trying to flame every other teams posters. I wish you the best of luck the rest of the way, and maybe we will see each other in Pasadena!!

Damn...great game...no voice left...woke up at 1:17 P.M. today...I tried to stand the whole game but some jackasses behind me (sitting in 12 C row 1, if the jackasses are out there annouce yourselves so I can give you some nice red chicklets) wanted me to SIT DOWN DURING THE GAME. IT'S THE BEST NONCONFERENCE GAME OF THE SEASON AND THEY EXPECT ME TO SIT?????? They kept saying that we were the reason that everyone had to stand. I pointed behind us at the people in the next row... They were standing...the people in the first row weren't. Is it those peoples faults that the people behind them where standing? Goddamn if you dont want to stand go home and watch the game on T.V.!!!!
