[redguard117]

Hyde and the O line were meant for the I formation.

True but Warinner is a spread OL coach primarily

Edit: hyde and the online were meant to do exactly what they do, but for some reason weren't asked to do so tonight...

Bucks had the ball in Sparty territory, up 24-20...had to punt.

Bucks led 24-20, Sparty was backed up on their 10...90 yard TD drive.

Bucks got the ball after a punt block, in Sparty territory, down 27-24...stopped on downs.

Sparty drove 60+ yards for the clinching TD.

It sucks, but they were the better team. No excuses, no explanations, they beat us.

24 wins in a row...going to a BCS game. This hurts like a bitch but how the hell can we not be proud of our guys? They represented the University and fan base with class. Take a bow boys and keep your heads up. We'll be back and better next year.

Agree but now hyde and Ol gone, Wilson and Elliott more like what Urban has had in the past.

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.

I'm agonna go find me a Spary board and sign up right now to do just that.

It also takes sportsmanship to shut right the fuck up.

That's part of it, but it's deeper than that. The players aren't playing instinctively for some reason - they're thinking too damn much. I think the scheme has them playing with their heads instead of with their bodies if you know what I mean.

The scheme was designed for NFL players, and it works great in the NFL, as NFL players don't have to worry about class and finals and being a college-student.

I'm going to play some video games. That will make me happy. Or sleep. So hard to choose...

24-1 is nice but we don't have any Big Ten championships yet and that kinda stings. A BCS bowl win would be nice but it hurts too much to think about right now.

We have several Big Ten championships, but I know what you mean...3 B1G title games, and none were won by our Buckeyes.

...And wear your Buckeye gear with pride tomorrow. I can't help but shake my head when I see people using the words "embarrassed" and "pathetic" because things aren't going our way in a football game. I'd rather lose as a Buckeye than win as anything else.

Unless Bri'onte Dunn goes insane and starts jumping people on depth chart.

But I'm thinking OSU goes with a rotation more in the future.

I tried that and just abour ripped the PS3 out of my wall when attempting to play FIFA14 when the computer started doing bullshit things

Ohio St/Oregon in the Orange Bowl.

Say it ain't so (actually think the Bucks take them but I'm surrounded by Ducks

Hyde and the O line were meant for the I formation.

....and a fullback

 

[AuburnBuckeye]

Well, this made me feel slightly better about myself. We've been slightly spoiled by Tressel and now Urban

I did enjoy the hell out of that rose bowl win and sugar bowl. But still, i wanted this shot at the crystal. This hurts bad, real bad
