Game Thread tOSU vs. Sparty, B1G Championship Game, Sat 8 ET on FOX

[ScarletnGray 33]

Well as a fan base we brought the shoe here tonight.. did the best we could. Proud of the season overall but losing on the biggest stage is getting tiresome.

Getting the pick at their 40, recovering and onside at our 40, then blocking the punt and getting zero points from it is inexcusable. Not giving it to hyde on an insIde zone on 3rd and 3 or 4th and 1 on the last meaningful possession was inexcusable.

A ton of errors from Mr. Herman out there tonight. It is easy to blame the D cause they sucked again, but after 2 years we know what we are going to get.

If we are being real with ourselves, FSU was going to throw for 5 hundo easily and run us out of the building, so at least our maligned conference gets credit for beating us.

The only solace I take is that the Noles are going to Ape fuck Auburn.

Unfortunately, not seeing it. Auburn is just on freaking fire right now.

Prediction: this will be the worst D in Urbs stint at tOSU.

I hope you're right.

I would be using the 15 bowl practices to get Von Bell ready. Since his ACL Pitt Brown has never been the same athlete.

Hopefully this proves true. With Shazier probably moving on, I'm highly worried about the LB depth next year.

On the contrary, plenty are "trying to find a scapegoat", if you look at this thread.

On the contrary, pointing out why a team lost is not always finding a scapegoat.

Jesus. Still can't get over the fact Herman absolutely shit the bed on the biggest stage. Oh well.

Play calling on offense was questionable, but this game should have been won with 24 points. This is ALL on the defense. The fucking Gophers held MSU to 14. The only teams they scored more on were YSU, Illinois and fucking Nebraska. Fucking Purdue held them to 14. Notre Dame beat them scoring a whopping 17 points.

Sorry to all those who want to spread the blame around, but 24 points should have been plenty. This defense is abysmal and needs fixing. Not sure where it starts. I have a tough time believing it's the talent but maybe it is.

I know this...teams knew where to attack and they did it pretty successfully for most of the season. This D never really got any better. They just played some shitty competition.

Good game, Sparty.

That 4th and 1 hurts, but really, there were many opportunities to win this game. Hope we take the opportunities next time.

They have no passing game at all. I don't see how Auburn can hang with FSU.

Yeah.. congrats to Sparty. They took tOSU to the woodshed tonight.

I'm not an MSU fan...but I have to say, I just saw a fan say congrats to MSU...I appreciate good sportsmanship

Why would you possibly expect a forum of only Ohio State members to congratulate MSU for a heartbreaking loss? I suppose the Nazis applauded Stalin as he rolled into Berlin

Seriously....A home advantage for the team with the better record simply because you think your Buckeyes should be in the Championship game? Sounds like an Urban Meyer disciple everything the easy way, even if not ethical or fair...lol. Son, this game was played on a neutral field, just like all one-game championships should be- to determine the better team. If you can't win on THIS neutral field, you certainly can't win on the BCS Championship neutral field. I'm no MSU fan, but I signed up on this site for this ONE post, just so I could see the anguish from the drunken Buckeye fans, who have no concept of sportsmanship, empathy, or anything resembling a comprehensive knowledge of sports. MSU and all other B1G fans exhibit infinitely more class than OSU fans and the cheating coaches named Meyer and Motta who love allowing convicts, thugs, and high school academic failures to play for them. For such a hallowed academic institution, these coaches ironically place NO emphasis on academics and have a "win at any cost" attitude- note: no suspension for players who threw punches....hmmmm. Regardless, I'm just glad that the drunken OSU hicks who boo everything non-OSU, and are even sticking around right now to boo some college kids who achieved their dreams, will not get to celebrate tonight in MY city tonight...Indianapolis... They don't deserve it, nor does Urban Liar, nor do the players who act like thugs. Now please delete me from this site, as I don't want to be a member of a site that supports fans who jump innocent fans from other schools, set trash and cars on fire, and defecate in stairwells of parking garages. Good riddance, and may you all languish in your sports ignorance- my apologies to the very, very few decent OSU fans out there! Good job MSU!! Enjoy this!!! OSU isn't going to Pasadena OR the BCS Championship!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I live in Indy too and you are fucking clueless....

 

[woofermazing]

Great post. I think you're the first person I've seen who actually had the sportsmanship to congratulate the winners. It's a difficult thing to do after a loss.

We like to talk about Ohio State on an Ohio State forum.

Congrats to Sparty. Time to reflect and get better. 2 years and look what the Buckeyes have done. Go Bucks.
