Was anyone else quite disappointed in the way Weis ended the game?
So much for sportsmanship, standing there with his arms crossed and calling TO's.
I know I would be disappointed in JT if he pulled that, and I am disappointed in Weis.
Other than that, GO BUCKS!!!
Troy Smith is amazing!

What a way to go out for a truly magnificent senior class....43 wins, 4-0 in bowls (3-0 BCS), 3-1 against TSUN, 2 Big-Ten titles and oh yeah...a NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP. Thank you so much fellas...you will be missed!

On that note, anyone else excited about this offense next year? We are gonna be a lot of fun to watch. Come on September! Can't get here soon enough!

He just got his ass handed to him in a sling.

Apparently a new experience. for Slim-Slow-Slider.

Let's give him a pass on this one - he was in undiscovered country for an Offensive Genius.

I think this win should put to rest any discussion about the "genius" Charlie Weis VS. Jim Tressel. Apparently those rings he has truly don't mean anything. So much for that month to prepare.
Our offense was awesome. I was sceptical of Troy at the beginnig of the season. I have no doubts now. He is the leader. He is THE man.
ND got outplayed on both sides of the ball. Let's see how much class CW has in his post-game PC. I suspect that he is butt-hurt right now. THIS IS AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

GO BUCKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



OH!

Amazing, amazing, amazing. Troy Smith is a buckeye legend. I take back everything that I have said bad about him earlier this year.

Ted Ginn had a phenomemal game. Holmes was awesome. Pittman was clutch. Gonzalez comes up with another big catch. AJ Hawk proves once again he is the best defensive player in the country. Kudla, Whitner, everyone. Wow.
