I would like to say to all of the admins/Sr. moderators/moderators who have posted in this thread was so much insight. I know that the majority of you are pretty tight and it is nice to see that you guys can agree and disagree with each other without claiming one or the other does not know what he is talking about. Well, at least most of the time.

Wonder if any of their disagreement would ever fall under the heading of "If you bash a Buckeye on this site, you will leave for 14 days"

It's all just fake controvery designed to stir the pot so that we can generate subscriptions and ad sales ... just like ESPN. Heck, we're not even Buckeye fans ... and we hang out with Herbie.

in regard to LBJ's "tresselball" posts.

I agree. It doesnt matter if the Offense scores 10 or 50, Tresselball is field position, special teams play and a stiffling defense.

Tresselball doesnt not have to equal a score of us-10 them-3

Tresselball equals a score of us greater than their 3 points.

A back door national champioship does not a championship caliber team make.

We can still make the rose bowl we need penn state to win out and have texas and alabama lose which will probally happen!

I still don't see the Rose Bowl taking us unless USC is also in the NC. Nobody wants to market a rematch of a 35-3 game.

We have a good chance at a BCS bowl, but not the Rose.


Now back to being pestered about an issue that we have put to rest 600 or so times in the past.

Pull for Oregon State to win out. If they do, they win any Pac-10 tie-breaker (head-to-head is the first one), and the Rose Bowl would be glad to match up a pair of OSUs.

I'll take a crack.

October 11, 2003

Night kickoff. National TV audience. 80,000 at Camp Randell

Ohio State, defending National Champs, ranked #3, 5-0, 1-0 in conference and on a 19 game winning streak.

Wisconsin, ranked #23, 6-1, 2-0 in conference. The loss? A 23-5 home loss to UNLV. Wisconsin was playing without star tailback Anthony Davis (ankle). Soon they would be playing without starting QB Jim Sorgi thanks to OSU LB Robert Reynolds. The next play they kick a field goal. Wisky up 10-3 with 5:09 in the 3rd quarter.

OSU ties the game with a 75 yard, 7 play drive with 6:09 left in the game.

Here's the play. I'm sure you've figured it out by now. And no, it wasn't Robert Reynolds horrific choke move earlier in the game.

On second down, WR Lee Evans runs an out-and-up route. And future first round draft pick, OSU CB Chris Gamble bites on the "out". No help as Dustin Fox was blitzing on the play. Evans is WIDE open for a TD pass from Matt Schabert. Remember him? Yeah, not many do. 5:20 remain.

Bucks never get back in the game. The next drive stalls and we punt with 3:27 to go. Matt Schabert converts 2 more first downs. Ballgame.

Wisconsin goes on to: lose 5 of their next 6 games.



Was TP's fumble a game changer? Yeah. Was it the biggest momentum killer in OSU history? Nah. There are huge plays like this in every game, every season, for every school. Heck, there are probably quite a few that only the coaches know about and we the fans never even realize. Maybe the story I relayed doesn't seem to resonate with Buck fans. I know that personally, I was so disgusted after seeing the Reynolds choke on replay that I didn't care one bit if OSU lost that game. Maybe that takes the "sting" off Gambles gaff. Maybe it eases the pain of seeing an unknown 2nd string QB (who transferred to Eastern Illinois the next year) beat us for the winning score, then seal the deal with 2 first down runs. Heck, we were defending champs, in the top 5. That loss should have been much worse than PSU. We still had everything in font of us. Not so this season.

I guess all things mellow with age. I would hazard a guess that TP's fumble won't be such a horrific play when viewed through the lens of time.

or the slip against purdue when they hit the long pass down the sideline for the rosebowl. or one of the two slips in the 90s against um. or the 98 msu game in the redzone.

i could go on for awhile...
