Game Thread Orange Bowl: tOSU vs Clemson, Jan 3, 8:30 ET, ESPN

[AuTX Buckeye]

Who the fuck was Brax throwing to on that last play? He was too hurt to go back in. Just have put in Kenny G. But again, what do I know? Fucking retarded.

Fuck

Fuck

Fuck.

I hate losing to a third rate [Mark May]ty ACC team named "Clemson". Fuck.

Same guy he always throws to Philly

Given that the defense was playing without 2 of their 4 or 5 best players and going against the best offense they've played all season, I wasn't too disappointed. I think they were overmatched personnel wise but kept us in the game. Tough loss to take given the ending but a little easier for me than msu.

 

[Fungo Squiggly]

Thanks for having me. You guys were great. Awesome program, awesome fanbase. Best of luck guys. Muck Fichigan.

Aw, don't be nice to us. I really want to piss all over someone, but I can't do it to somebody who doesn't deserve it.

 

[Wells4Heisman]

Wow, really thought we had it when Barnett nabbed that interception. Hats off to Clemson's defense tonight, they harassed Braxton and made a big play when it mattered. The season ends on a sour note for our beloved Buckeyes but that doesn't change the fact that we had a great season.
Go Bucks

Good game team. Nothing to be ashamed of in this loss. Should have won this one, you just ran out of time.

Philly and the OL had brain cramps..Watkins was the best player on the field. Herman did not have his best game. Mewhort is a guard on the next level. Urban has work to do!!

All I know is that if Braxton goes pro, he is making the biggest mistake of his life.

Yeah. I won't be all that upset about it though. Unless he were to improve his reads and decision making a great deal.

Imagine FSU...

 

[Woody1968]

Maybe not, but that was not an acceptable defense all season.

No it was not, but again, there were 2 defensive coordinators. We have limited depth at linebacker, and three first time starters in this game. not sure why people expect a 2002 level defensive performance, because clemson are not exactly a bunch of moops on offense either.

 

[BayBuck]

Yup. This is what I'm anticipating as well. Precisely why I do not expect big improvements with the defence next year. New faces on the D but ultimately similar on-field results.

I actually intended the quote-marks ironically.

 

[CookyPuss]

At least Urban didn't punch the kid on that last INT. Ha, somebody had to say it.

Made himself some dolla dollas tonight, because his draft stock will rise quite a bit with that performance, even though his injury issues were also there to see.

All I know is that if Braxton goes pro, he is making the biggest mistake of his life.

He isn't ready to play at that level and perhaps never will be, but at this point I wouldn't blame him one bit if he decided he stopped wanting to take the kind of hits he took today for free. I mean, it won't be life-changing money but maybe he should get what he can while the gettin's still good.

Imagine FSU...

We would have been raped.

No worries--so am I.
