Landon Collins did a bit of trash talking the day of... claiming no fly zone, no flex zone, no mercy, that it'd be a party on the field, guaranteeing the win... and a picture that appears to look like him holding an MVP trophy.
Of course we know how that turned out, and Kirk Barton put him in his place so nobody currently on the team had to respond.

Uh...how the fuck did I miss this? Would you be so kind as to provide any type of link to any of this? I'm guessing Kirk Barton's wrath was felt on Twitter?

Fiesta Bowl......not even close. As everyone else said, the whole set-up to that game was ridiculous. tOSU didn't belong on the same field as Thug U, their winning streak. All their trash talk.They already had reservations made for their victory party back in Miami. I still watch that game several times a year and one of my favorite parts is the look on Dorsey's face after the sack on their first play. They couldn't believe the buzzsaw of a defense that they just ran up against.

Fiesta Bowl. I actually cried when it was over, not ashamed. The most glorious thing I've witnessed in my lifetime. Two TD underdog. They were already planning the afterparty and stupid shit like that. No one gave us a chance and had nothing good to say about us at all really. That was a FTW game and all of this after Coop just finished a very disappointing decade and more (2-10-1).

The SEC schtick is old but most of it is hyperbole because they have been setting themselves up with little or no competition. The way they manipulate their bowl games is serious bullshit but this season we persevered and it was beautiful. The monkey is off our backs finally from 2006-07 and a new decade of Buckeye greatness is upon us. Had it taken 30+ years to get here I might be saying something different but at this point its the Fiesta.

I feel even more comfortable saying this because we're about to win another National Championship and set ourselves up for another next year. How about that shit!!

2003 Fiesta. Da U brought their best game. 'Bama didn't. Da U played almost mistake free, and still lost. 'Bama made plenty of mistake. We made plenty of mistakes.

2003 was a defensive battle, with each team today scoring more than the sum of the points scored by both team in regulation in the 2003 battle. 2003 was very evenly matched.

If 'Bama's gameplan involved pounding the ball with Derek Henry the entire game, we would've lost. If we had pounded the ball more than we did with EzE, we would've won more comfortably.

Umm, Miami had five turnovers...

I will give this latest addition this...

The lasting significance and effect has dragged on more than I initially thought for "only" being a semifinal game. My dad and I have probably spent more time revisiting the Alabama game, those plays, those moments, the entire unfolding of it all, more than we have discussing Oregon these past 5 days. That was seriously an emotionally exhausting, fun, and meaningful game. It felt like a championship of sorts. I know there's still 1 more task to go, but the buildup of 4 weeks- the trash talk, the expectations, the analysis- culminated in one amazing night against a damn good coach, program and team.

Now, that isn't to say my dad and I don't sit back and enjoy watching that Jan 3, 2003 night in the . That game was the pinnacle for me as a Buckeye fan, so it still gets the nod.

Just saying, this Alabama game- I'll remember it forever win or lose the next one and I've kind of surprised myself with how much it meant to me (us?) when there's still one game left.
