Wonder if we can "fix" the defense before the OB........ Urban will be "involved" I'm sure.

I just don't think that the coaches/players on defense have it in them. They just aren't very good. You can't practice that away.

This game comes down to can the Ohio State offense sustain some drives and keep the Clemson offense off the field. That will be the most effective "defense" that the Buckeyes can muster.

We don't use that name 'round these parts.

Get over it. It's been years. LeBron walking the sidelines hanging out with recruits is a great advantage in that world.

Good luck with that....

Pumpkin LeBitch by the way.

Clearly college football news is drunk... In their early "gut reaction picks" for the BCS games, they have OSU beating Clemson 38-13. I would love to understand how OSU holds them to 13. Also they have Auburn and Sparty winning.

Maybe we can an assist from the basketball team's defense.

Ohio State Fans Pull a Troll Move on Thomas Green Clemson Statue

A tipster sent us these delightful shots of the Thomas Green Clemson statue holding buckeye necklaces and a sign that reads, “Charlie Bauman had it Coming.”

Clemson married the daughter of John C. Calhoun, and leveraged that relationship on both the business and political front, amassing quite a bit of coin during posts as Superintendent of Agriculture and later Chargé d’affaires to Belgium. His will called for the establishment of a land-grant institution called "The Clemson Agricultural College of South Carolina." It's unknown whether the will also called for Clemsoning, as some scholars believe that's something Tommy Bowden called for.

Bauman, of course, was the Clemson linebacker that Woody Hayes slugged in the waning moments of the 1978 Gator Bowl, thus ending Hayes' career as the head coach at Ohio State.

Just another reminder that there are Buckeye fans in every neighborhood in America, ready to troll your statues whenever the opportunity presents itself.

Contd...

I predict 400 yards rushing for the Buckeyes in the Orange Bowl.

What I can't predict is if that will be enough and it saddens me.

Yep. Wish I could be excited about this game, but I'm afraid it will have to be a direct-to-record event. I'll keep an eye on the game thread on here, and find out if I actually want to see it or not.

Youre not going to watch the Orange Bowl? I don't understand...

So you only want to watch the Bucks if you feel they are going to win? I believe there's a term for that. Let me see ... what would that be? Bandwagon?
You sound like (not saying you are, just that in this case you sound like) the fan Cooper was talking about.

 

[LostLassie]

I don't really care what it's called. I don't enjoy watching them lose. Maybe some people do. There's a term for that, too. I think it's called masochism.

 

[BuckeyeNation27]

When we win, and all your friends are talking about the game......make sure you exclude yourself from the discussion.

 

[grnvllbuck]

If we don't punt, we win!

 

[buckeyeintn]

Who on here has ever said they like watching them lose (except attention whore traitors)? But to only watch if you "know" they're going to win? I was never a big fan of Cooper, but that is the attitude he was describing.
