You always defend first in OT....that way you know if all you need is a FG or if you can win with a TD or if you need a TD to tie

That's the conservative approach, but I'm not sure it's always the right one.

Hope even said today that he wanted the ball first because he wanted to make the Buckeyes try to play from behind. For the first 59 minutes they didn't respond well to that so there was some merit to the approach. Then in OT they abandoned the approach and let the Buckeyes set the tone. I think it might have played out much differently if the Buckeyes had to come back for a second time, even if they ended up down by only a FG in the first OT.

I'll politely disagree. The refs weren't nearly as bad as the griping that went on about them here, which almost always occurs when the Bucks are losing.

This is my first mention of it, but they were really bad, Jake. Really bad. The Bucks underperformed for 3.75 quarters, and they (the refs) shouldn't necessarily take all the blame, but it was horrific. I don't think they were biased in anyway, just incompetent.

Enjoying the win after it looked awfully bleak. Damn proud to be a Buckeye fan!!!

Right, because bitching about the refs while the Bucks are winning never happens. Are you only here to disagree about how motherfucking shitty of a job the refs did today? I'm of the opinion that they fucking sucked hard. Period.

Disagree all you'd like I'm enjoying this one!

I'd love for once a reporter to call a coach out on this. You got calls all game and you really want to cry about the few you didn't.

Oh wait, you mean the OSU delay of game that wasn't a delay of game and the fumble by Braxton that was recovered?

There's probably a lot more that I'm missing.

Is he really whining about that in a post-game presser? :lol:

What a [censored]ing douche-canoe.

Key words were "hooking" and "had our jerseys". No joke. You can tell the coaches who have things under control and lead. They don't mention missed calls or harp on what could have been. Hope has all the douche of Bielema with none of the personality.
