Willis McGahee (official thread)

Yeah I'd say he's still bitter.

What?chu talkin? ?bout, Willis: McGahee thinks Miami deserves 2002 BCS championship

Willis McGahee wants his 2002 national championship ring.

The former Miami running back told CBSSports.com that if Ohio State was forced to vacate the 2002 national championship ? the Buckeyes defeated the Hurricanes 31-24 in overtime in the '03 Fiesta Bowl ? because of NCAA violations, he would "like to have my ring." It doesn't matter that vacating its 2002 national title hasn't seriously been discussed -- at all -- but McGahee is hanging his hat on the NCAA determining that Ohio State used ineligible players in the game.

It's a longshot, but a plausible argument, especially since Ohio State is under intense scrutiny for a lack of institutional control during coach Jim Tressel's tenure.

The crux of Ohio State's 2002 run-ins with the NCAA stem from shaky allegations regarding former running back Maurice Clarett. Clarett was dismissed from school for a litany of wrongdoings from academic misconduct to making false claims about items stolen from a car borrowed from a local dealer. None of the allegations were substantiated by the NCAA.

And now that Ohio State has been cleared of charges on car deals, there's not much the NCAA could find to result in vacating the title.

Still, McGahee has his wishful thinking cap on, especially since he thinks the Hurricanes were the victims of an officiating gaffe.

He was interviewed on the sidelines during the Ravens/Redskins scrimmage and remarked that "deep down inside the Buckeyes know they lost that game."

I find it kind of funny that guys from "the U" still can't come to terms with it. I thought we whined a lot about Florida.

We won the game. So "deep down inside the Buckeyes know they lost the game." Is he serious? WE WON THE GAME!!!
