Game Thread Illinois 28, Ohio State 21 (final)

[SNIPER26]

Sorry about your loss. I really wanted you guys undefeated heading into the Game, always makes it more fun when everything is on the line for at least one team.

I still can't believe Boeckman missed a wide open Ballard down the seam. One of the bigger plays of the game.

Here's to 11/17!!!!!!!!!! Should be a hell of a game.

Not going to watch football till tomorrow. Talking heads will be going crazy. I hate Mark May. He total hates the Bucks and gets off when we lose.

Mark May 73

Email him and let him know what a wind bag he is. He has the power of the media and will raise ESPN's stock today. He's a talking head and that's all he is, I am going to just turn it off and not listen to his ass.

 

[POJO_Risin]

Uh...won in the trenches?

Yeah...you are right...too many people think that they know more about football than they think.

1. Ohio State's OLine got blown up in the national title game...and to some extent...against Michigan.

2. Ohio State's lost most of it's DLine....

So...I guess there WERE questions about the trenches...weren't there...

for all of us who don't know anything about football...

 

[TooTall]

SHIT... I just realized May picked Illinois to win... So they are going to be all over his nuts for the next week for picking 1 game right. Even though he ALWAYS picks Ohio State's opponent.


Mark May is a genius!

this sucks so bad. Feel like killing myself. As of now feels like it will be hard for me to even get hyped up for the michigan game or rose bowl:(

Aw come on, there's no reason not to be hyped up for the big rivalry and a chance to get into another BCS title shot. No matter what happens in the season from beginning to last, the most anticipated game for me is the big game of tOSU and Michigan. We could go 0-11 through a season, and I'll still be excited for this one. alllllll day

 

[AnnArborBuckeye]

Wow....I can't believe this attitude.

I thought it would be this kind of season season, So what, they lost Gonzo and Ginn and Smith? Football is still won in the trenches and those guys were back.
Too many people don't understand this game and get caught up in the media hype. All the "experts" said this was a rebuilding year. That only showed their lack of understanding when they said this. They see OSU lose the Wr's and a Qb and think it's a rebuilding season. A rebuilding season is when you lose 4 or 5 offensive lineman and 3 or 4 defensive lineman.

I fully expected this team to be playing in the Sugar bowl. This is unacceptable...Or it should be.
But as long as we have, "Well, it was a great season", then you will continue to get these kind of "great" seasons. Or at least that is what you deserve

Feeling a bit testy, eh?

He's just a fat smug Jurassic Pitt Panther "my team sucks so I'm going to revel now that yours does" slap-ass. I wouldn't give him the time of day with an e-mail or anything else.

Coach tressel is human we just didn't have it to night. We WIN OUT STILL A GOOD YEAR and i still love the Buckeyes. :osu:

 

[Waller]

The players let themselves down, as well. Tressel and Heacock weren't missing tackles.

Point taken. But I am still mad at the coaching much more than the play. Harder to make the play when your coaches have put you in a bad position.

 

[OregonBuckeye]

But Oregon, I thought this is the '07-'08 season!?

My memory is fuzzy. What's this in reference to?

Whoa, dude, that's a bit much. Two positions hurt us tremendously today on defense... Defensive Tackle and Safety (MJ). On the fourth and one, Doug Worthington got his ass kicked so bad that JL almost could not jump over him. Worthington has ONE job as nose on that play- submarine. ONE JOB. Since our DTs had another great game (a la Penn State), and Malcolm Jenkins couldn't get over the top or read a run/pass, we're staring at the Rose Bowl and we look like idiots because MJ wanted to fight AFTER THE GAME. Why so much energy????!!!!

I firmly believe that any man's finest hour, the greatest fulfillment of all that he holds dear, is that moment when he has worked his heart out in a good cause and lies exhausted on the field of battle - victorious.

I was very impressed with the play of Kurt Coleman and JL this week. Very solid games they didn't deserve to lose.

So, instead of sobbing and moping, who likes instant replay?

 

[keeganbrick]

Anyone know the reason Tressel called the TO when Illinois was punting the ball? I fuckin knew they would go for it after he did that

 

[Tipdogusaf]

I just want to say way to lose with class buckeye players...not. During that altercation was probably those most intensity I saw from a buckeye all game.

Still a good season though, lets go up to TSUN and beat some _ichigan ass and play our way into the Rose Bowl

 

[TooTall]

So, instead of sobbing and moping, who likes instant replay?

I do when they ACTUALLY use it!

 

[keeponrisin]

Not reading this thread nor do I care to.
Why call a timeout on 4th and an inch length when IL is alligned in a punt formation?
Who cares if they down it on the 1/2" line?
At least we have control at that point.

This team has exceeded my expectations, but I'm not a happy camper

Here's to next week beating scum, and my $333 investment loss to New Orleans
