I had stepped away as soon as the clock hit 0:00, so I didn't see the confrontations, but if it in retalitation for punk-assed Illini players dancing on the "O", I don't see anyone getting suspended. They'll get an ass-chewing and have to run gassers, but you can't get too pissed for players defending against disrespect...

That's basically how I see it as well. Frustrations boiled over in the end...I mean it was a tough loss and a tough situation. No suspensions.

It was quick, but I'm trying to do my best... Freeman was in there, Grant was in there, Rehring was in there without a helmet by the end...gonna keep watching, maybe saw a coach or 2 in there... no idear how this kinda thing is handled here....

I don't think Tressel will let it slide, may not let Jenkins start. Milli, they're showing it with most of the lolights they're showing on ABC and ESPN.

My ABC feed isn't showing the whole picture, just Zook running onto the field, then the announcer gets excited and the camera switches over, a little bit south of where the action really is...we can't really get the whole story, but I guess it is dancing on the O?... can't suspend both teams right?

A classic example of the team that controls the line of scrimmage wins most of the time. The Illini O-line dominated our guys. Conversely, OSU couldn't get good rushing lanes for Wells and didn't protect Boeckman as well as in past games.

Hats off to Illinois, they took this game fair and square.

I dont care what ANYONE says...

THE Ohio State Buckeyes are still #1 in my book... We only lost ONE game, true it was a very pivotal one, but still its only one.We are not done just yet, as anything can happen on any given Saturday. To those who are dissin my Buckeyes... Do let the door hit you where the Lord splits ya...Step off!.. For my real fans let me hear it ....

P.S. I gotta give the Illini props, they managed to do something that NO other team could do all year.. Contain our O and stop the baddest Buckeye on the planet cold... {Laurenitis} But still....I gotta cheer...

O-H!

Big Picture this year.....

Probablility-Win at scUM, Rose bowl appearance against oregon or ASU

possibilities- bcs standings before week end:1. Ohio State 2. LSU 3. Oregon 4. Kansas 5. Oklahoma 6. Missouri 7. WVU 8. BC 9. ASU 10. Georgia
Georgia highest rated 2 loss team, ohio state probably falls in between 7-9
bcs teams final games:LSU- LA TECH, @ Ole Miss, Ark. prob(sec champ), Oreg- @ Ariz,@UCLA, Oreg St, Kan- @OK ST, Iowa St., Mizz, (poss Big 12 champ), OKLA- Baylor(over), @ TTU, OK ST, (prob big 12 champ) Mizz- @ Kan ST, @Kan, (poss big 12 champ) WVU- @ Cincy, UCONN, Pitt BC- @ Mary, @ Clem, Miami(FL), (poss acc champ) ASU- USC, Ariz Georg- Ken, @ Ga Tech, (poss SEC champ)

Realistically all except ASU has avg poss of losing twice, all at least reasonable poss of one loss. Would take alot but in this years college game anything is possible. Ohio State would have to beat Michigan by 20-30 to get the voters to even see them as back door worthy and then anywhere from 5-8 teams to lose. Kansas is in a dogfight right now along with BC which would keep Ohio State in the 5-7 range if both lost. With the Big 12 mess, poss. of usc helping us, Sec to play out, Big east has a mess brewing(Cincy wins vs WVU and WVU beats UCONN) and end of year rivalry games, the possibilities grow. and considering if OSU ends this week from 5-7 we need only 3-5 of those teams to lose. Not unattainable. But man i wish we woulda won to clean all this up.


:oh:

They always show the most "controversial" footage of a game (except a botched fumble of course) to stir up hits on their websites and boards.
Do they think they can highlight Tressel into benching players by showing it over and over?

I did not get to see it, but in the replays do they show or mention the disrespect? or just the (almost always) reaction to it?

I know I felt disappointed after the game but I didn't get angry until I heard that players were stomping on the O. I hope we crush them next year.

If that is what went down {I couldnt watch it anymore, my blood pressure was going through the roof! lol] then I consider it justifiable just as it would be if we did the same thing on their logo, they would have issues... Classless! and here I just gave them props too...

I couldnt agree more.

Hey Illinois... you deserved to win today, but why don't you act like you have been there before?

Oh wait, you haven't. Stay classy!!!!
