Mr Jim Shutz, You seem to forget that the LSU cupcakes they played that you FAILED to mention - were Auburn, Florida, Va Tech,Alabama, Arkansas, Kentucky, Mississippi State,Tennessee all were ranked in The Top 25 when LSU played them - get a life and come back to reality - LSU is National Champs and Ohio State lost - by the way - OSU had some of the BEST fans we’ve ever encountered - so quit giving them a bad rep, you weren’t there.

Everybody in the world knew who the 3 or 4 best teams going into the bowl season and OSU wasn’t one of them. Take a good look at the way a team plays and forget about their what I call their preseason record. Is Georgia the same team that lost to Tennessee or USC to Stanford. Hell no, Georgia and USC were the two best teams at the end, damn the BCS. Heck, they had the no. 1 team an underdog to LSU. Oregon, which finished #24 (total joke)with Dennis Dixon was as good as any team around, but the pundits decided that OSU deserved the shot because of their 12-1 record with victories over Kent State, Akron and the other chump team. OSU will get their chance against USC next year. Now, lets have LSU play a better OCC schedule instead of Tulane, Middle Tennessee and the other cupcake.

hey osu-irish…. Texas overrated every year?? UT came into the Shoe at night (i was there, what a pos smelly hole that is)and took out the suckeyes on our way to the NC, where we beat the ‘greatest team’ ever in USC on their home field, at night…how about being the ONLY team in CFB to have 7 consecutive 10 win seasons?? Tony Smith Heisman, what a joke that was! He wasn’t even close to being in the same league as VY or RB! I believe at the end of the season, USC was the best in the country….in addition to USC, just about ANY TEAM running the spread would have killed the suckeyes….including WVU, Mizzou to a name a few, and i think both could have given LSU much more of game than you turds did….fyi, i think Less Piles is THE most overrated coach in all of CFB…how he got that LSU job is beyond me…but hey HE NEVER COULD BEAT THE TEXAS LONGHORNS !!!

As for us picking up the phone and calling, do phones up there not ring south? We don’t have a need to play competition, we compete with top schools every week…just look at the polls and you will see how many sec teams are in the top 5, top 10, top 20, etc…many more than the big televen. Play a championship game for that matter…or are you scared to do that also for fear of losing again. It is obvious why osu plays in the nat’l champ game, they face NO ONE to get there.

Now I understand where Jimmy Laurenitis got all those tackles - in the locker room. He sure didn’t get them on the field. The most over rated linebacker in the history of CFB. Pile jumper who was constantly toasted Monday night. Was run over twice on the goal line on the SAME play. Gravity is is only asset when it comes to making a tackle. Experts pegged him correctly. He does play the run as well as the pass - both awful.

I’m a big fan of the Bucks, but they did not belong in the championship game this year. They may be ready next year but they certainly were not a championship caliber team this year. If I had to point out weaknesses, I would say they are weak at QB and at receiver. The QB coaches need to work on the playbook and teach those QBs to look the other way enough to keep the defense honest.. pump fake… fake handoffs to rb’s etc. The Offense there needs to become a lot more complex to keep defenses guessing. It isn’t a speed difference.. the speed difference comes from knowing what you are oding because of the way it is obvious what you are oding as soon as the ball is snapped. They were not faster .. at all.

OSU/Tressel – Overrated; Back-to-Back outcoached. I can accept that against Urban, not Les. The D has been suspect since Dantonio left. They’ve never been a great offense under Tressel and never will. JT is the offensive coordinator. Punt and Play D can beat the Big 10, but not the SEC or other Major programs. Scheduling aside, you do not improve unless you’re tested.! FG’s don’t win the big games. BCS 7+ minutes to go and you’re not running the hurry-up offense? No spread, no showcase of your wide receiver speed, no crossing routes, and no TE play? Over the last 10 years OSU has put many great #1 and #2 receivers in the NFL with average QB’s. For the record Troy S. had an altercation with a teammate last year, don’t you learn from your leaders? OSU is a top 10 team every year! Florida & Tebow – A Joke. How do you lose to UM USC - RENT MONEY, but probably the best brand of football year-in and year-out good luck w/ dirty Sanchez and the Ar-Kansas (jc) transfer SEC - great athletes ≠ the best football Sooners – can’t talk 04’ BCS 55-19, Boise State & WVU?

Heirarch4sc Where do you get off 39 point dog to Stanford? Look USC couldn’t win without some of their Louisiana players. LSU at one point lost Doucet, who would likely have been an All American, Flynn and Charles Alexander All SEC and likely 1st team All American, after the Va Tech game. Hell, they lost a Thorpe finalist for most of the game last night. They played without key players all year or players that were injured such as Dorsey and all they did was beat 5 coaches who have won 5 - COUNT it 5 National titles between them AND beat 6 Top 25 Teams this year. How many did you beat? Did you lose any in 3OT with injuries. SC would likely not have beaten Ga. Ga. couldn’t win their own division of our conference. Also do I need to remind you that Auburn would have smoked SC when it won the in ‘04? By the way, our man RB will cost you that one. When you give it back, you will have NONE in the last 20 years.

What level did we sink too last night when we so easily self destructed when the chips were down like a bunch of grade school kids blaming each other? And we hope to keep beating Michigan with bad attitudes on our team? Hopefully Tressel and staff weed out the thugs and somehow put a lid on this before those we are trying to recruit find out about our bad sportsmanship.

I have to think that the comments from the Big Ten official about SEC football stereotypes was a low blow and unfair and totally inappropriate. The fighting between OSU players during and after the game is just a sign of poor leadership on the part of the coaches and the seniors on the team….LEADERSHIP requires handling the setbacks in a responsible manner. I am not perfect…and I got a bit emotional at work even….so I know that I have no room to talk but I think the coaches should have had a talk with the players as soon as a fight or argument broke out….telling them they are representing OHIO, Ohio State and the BIG TEN and need to act responsibly and with cool, calm heads….then play better to show them who you are……that is the way to handle setbacks…turn them into positives.

Academics aside, this is football talk. OSU is the best in Ohio. OSU is the best in the Big 10. We’ve known this for years, but until the organization steps up to the challenge to play teams that gives them a run, like the teams in the SEC(0-9 in championships vs. The SEC Conference), then beat them, how can OSU really be the number one team in the country? Games played before league play should be against the likes of USC, Florida, LSU, Oklahoma and other top schools who would love to play them, not a team they can trample over playing second string. Believe the computer and the hype from alumni if you want, but i’m not sold on Ohio State being #1 in the country if we can’t win a national championship to the SEC. The truth hurts. Change is good for the better of the team.

Calling into question the academic standards of SEC schools vs. “THE” Overrated State University is a mistake.

Tressel pushed the envelope at YSU (Cars, playes with questionable and criminal backgrounds, NCAA investigations, etc.) Well documented academic problems with Clarett, work being done for players, etc. No big program is free of problems, so don’t bash the SEC, it makes you look like a hypocrite.

First off, there should never have been any National Title played this season PERIOD! As an SC Trojan, I honestly think SC could beat anyone in the country and would have done 2 or 3 scores worse to tOSU than what LSU did. USC has been the most complete team the past 3 months and the Defense can adjust to stop just about type of Offense in the country. The Ohio State was very Inept which amde LSU Defense look very good. However, Not SC,not LSU, not UGA, Not Va tech, Kansas or Missouri, OU, and tOSU did not do anything to be worthy of playing for any national Championship. PERIOD! neither of the schools I mention took care of their business when it mattered. I’m disspaointed with SEC people though not surprised at their behavior after being handed over 2 easy National Titles for not doing anything but beating an inept tOSU sqaud. If it’s not OK for USC or any other team with 2 losses to make the Title, then why in your mind is it perfectly OK for LSU? I’m sick of the favortism for the SEC and things need to change and that will require 1 of 2 things. 1.) A Playoff or 2.)we should just Bag the BCS and go back to the Original system. USC and UGA got a raw deals in the fact they faced 2 very inferrior opponants and did not get to prove themselves the way they wanted and should have. Both wasted their time and either could have beaten tOSU by much more than what LSU did. I also oppose any 2 loss team winning any National Title because it’s an insult to teams of the past who have had Undefeated records, or had 1 loss and were left outside the Championship Game. To asses LSU as the best 2 loss team ever is crazy when they needed a dozen trick plays, trailed by 10 or more in 3 or 4 games, and there were others in the past which took care of business and were left cold. Here’s to a better future for NCAA football and hjop[e we can get one of these right 1 year. We now FIGHT ON to ‘08! VP

The answer is no or you would have more respect for the players and coaches. The big ten is down and it is hard to recruit in North because of the weather.

But they made it to the BCS Championship.People don’t give the coaches and players enough credit for playing the game and seems that the guys calling the game are always putting down people on one team or the other or saying are these the two teams that should be playing in the Championship yes it is.. the Bucs are the best i give them all the credit in the world for trying and playing as they did.There will be next year and i will still wear my jersey proudly as always and be a Buc Fan!! We LOVE OUR BUCKS!!!

I am from Springfield but live in California now. Since the Buckeyes were picked to finish third or lower in the conference at the beginning of the season, I was just happy to see them in any big bowl game let alone the national championship. Another great job by their coaching staff. I am proud to be a Buckeye today. Those of you that think this is the end of the world should get a grip.

The SEC is the best conference and has the best talent pool and depth. OSU is not accustomed 15 rounds every Saturday like the SEC teams play. Let’s face facts. The SEC has risen to a different level and until the Big Ten prepares it’s champion for a game and team like this results will be the same. Wells is an SEC type player, Gholston is as well. Other than that….no one and yes that includes “Larengitis” the most over rated linebacker in a long time. He had a ton of tackles yes….but most were downfield and he could not adjust athletically to pass coverage.

TO: Michelle: Can you say “14 - 3”, in Ann Arbor? Beat it and get a life! OHIO STATE beat UM (again), won the BIG10 outright (2 years in a row), and finished #4 in the country. Take your “Go Blue” and watch a re-run of the OSU-u.m. game! GO BUCKEYES !!!

unforgivable play calling by the coaches did in the Bucks. How do you NOT give the ball to Wells when needing only 3 yards, both times possibly getting OSU within 7 points of the lead! Tressel allowed his coaching staff to panick again!

Sounds like the Buckeye players are behaving like Buckeye fans. When Texas played in Columbus a couple of years ago, everyone I know who went commented on the rude and downright threatening, bullying fans at OSU. It wasn’t just the friendly taunts common at college games; there were verbal threats, pushing, and fistfights started. The wife of a friend of mine, who was wearing a cast on her ankle, was accosted and shoved backwards by a female OSU “fan”. I was sorry to see OSU lose last night, but I must admit to believing in karma in this case.

Everyone deserves blame in this loss: Boeckman whose play was embarrassing, the coacing staff who went away from the running game and made lousy adjustments, the defense who rolled over, and the AD who scheduled the non-conference games against patsies who don’t prepare the Buckeyes for tough games. This loss was a disgrace for Ohio State football. As much as I admire Jim Tressel, the fact is that he didn’t have his team ready to play two years in a row. It’s not acceptable.
