Apparently the Illinois players were stomping on the 'O'. OSU players reacted.ORD_Buckeye;990890; said:

The Illini players were dancing and mocking the midfield O, they even had some players protecting them around the outside of the O.
The OSU team ran in and broke that up, then near the end Jenkins took it a bit too far and began shoving a bit, Robo was doing a little bit too.

Unfortunate. Best thing Jenkins could have done is just soak it in and use it as motivation for coming back next year.

I didn't get to see the b/c I am on the staff of a HS team that was fortunate enough to still be playing last night-we lost, but that is another story.
My thoughts
1-If you are type of person for whom a good season is NC or bust-don't follow college football. It usually doesn't happen, and there is no sense acting as if the team owes you something. This year has been a lot better than I expected.
2-The no call on the fumble was inexcusable(I saw that before I left)-it was not a close to the ground judgement call. The refs should be punished, and the OSU staff monitoring the replay should fess up.
3-I hope this game ends any comparison w/ the 2002 defense. This D usually makes plays, and is where it needs to be, but it does not tear an opposing teams lungs out like the 02' edition. Wilhelm and Hawk took it personally when a RB tried to invade their space-they had a viciousness in run D that Freeman and Laurinaitis lack. Same thing w/ the D-line-the 02 crew was out for blood-period. Some years you can tell a team has "it" on the way to a championship or near-championship year. I could tell that w/ 02'-I never got that sense about this years team-and I wasn't expecting to-they are very young. Last year the "it" rose into the sky and left the team after the scUM victory.
4-Boeckman needs to get used to throwing the ball away-almost all of his picks come from trying to force a ball into somewhere where a smart QB has no business throwing them.

Boeckman's play lately has reminded me of Bobby Hoying. Hopefully with a year's experience, he will make better decisions like Krenzel. THe schedule next year makes for some interesting games.

My thoughts on the game (since I was there).....
Our opening drive was excellent. Despite an under thrown ball by Boeckman, Hartline made a great play and took us down the field....finished by a Beanie TD. Illinois opening drive was about the same, just swapped (long run, short pass for TD). After the opening drive, I thought the D would've really settled down and played like the #1 defense in the country....but it didn't happen. It was extremely frustrating because it seemed like the Illini were running the same play over and over again (PA fake and Williams takes off or straight hand off out of the gun) and we couldn't stop it. Boeckman's first INT was just a forced throw, which was a bad decision. During the 2nd quarter, our O line play was absolutely dreadful. Boeckman had NO time, which led to some mistakes. Going in to the Half and only being down 7, I thought Tressel would get the boys fired up and we'd come out firing in the 2nd half, as we usually do. From my point of view, it honestly looked like the WRs would run their routes and then just stop. It didn't really seem that they were "trying" to get open for TB and as a result, he would have to scramble. Taking nothing away from the Illini, I think they played excellent on both O & D, but it just seemed like the Bucks "gave up", especially on O.
Anyway, I'm over the loss and looking ahead to scUM. Like I said in the "It Ain't Over" thread....we can't make the NC game every year guys. We are STILL one of the best teams in the Country and will continue to be for many years. I'd be very happy with a 11-1 regular season record and be the Big Ten Champs once again, with a trip to the Rose Bowl. If we somehow make it to the NC game, then great....but if not, it's not the end of the world. Hopefully this loss was a huge wake up call and the team will come out pounding on TSUN.
On another note....I was truely disappointed with our fans yesterday. I couldn't stand the fact that people were leaving with over 3 minutes to go in the game and saying the game was over. Have some respect for the guys that you call "your team" and stick it out with them. I was also disgusted with fans booing the Buckeyes at the end of the game. I also overheard some moron (wearing scarlett & grey) claim that the Buckeyes suck and that Ohio would take it to us next year. I really wanted to stand up and beat the shit out of this kid, but I held myself back. Whether we win or lose, I will NEVER down the players nor the coaching staff. I'm with this team through wins and losses, no matter what.

There were plenty coming from 24C. I heard several players booing and yelling "YOU SUCK!!!" and I really don't think they were talking about the Illini. People just need to have some respect and realize that these players are Kids.
