Alright, I still feel sick to my stomach after last night. I will be the first homer buckeye fan to admit that we got stomped. You cannot put the blame on Troy though. He had 0 time to throw the ball. We got DOMINATED on the offensive and defensive lines. It just seemed like we never really showed up to the game.

I am a Tressel guy all the way, but that was some of the worst coaching/play calling I have seen since the Cooper years. Continuously calling 5 and and 7 step drop passes when their defensive ends were in Troy's face not kidding every play. Pittman was averaging like 6 yards per carry, I think he was 64 yards on 10 carries and beanie was averaging almost 5 yards a play, I still do not know why we just didn't scrap the passing game after our deep threat was gone(Ginn) and it was obvious nothing was working and just pound it home, that was the only thing we were having success doing last night was running the ball.

Basically it was embarassing, I was physically ill during and after the game. I haven't felt a loss that hard since the '98 Michigan State game. Florida played balls to the walla all night long and never took their foot off our necks.

Tressel was out of character yesterday, usually conservative going for it on 4th and 1 on our own like 29 with 3 minutes to go in the half when we were only down 10 points. Tressel can usually figure out something that works and he is very adaptive in his play calling, did not see that at all last night.

What happened was the exact opposite of what I thought would happen. We did not show up to play, whether it was all the awards, all the time off, wire to wire number 1, the game against Michigan, too many In-n-Out Burgers, I don't know. Whatever it was we played our absolute worst game I have seen under Tressel and Florida played their absolute best under Urban.

I lived in Florida until the end of October and watched every Gator game this year save a couple, and they played out of their minds yesterday, and the play calling was superb. During the year they were not that impressive at all. It took them three blocked kicks to beat the 'Cocks. Last night was an apparition, a detour from the norm for Ohio State, and it was embarassing.

Take my word for it though, we will be back next year, and the year after that, and the year after that. We don't rebuild, we reload. We will compete for and win many more NC's, maybe even before this decade is out. We're in the hunt every year, don't expect us to pull a Miami and have the program implode. Watch out for us next year, everybody is back except Smith and 3/4's of the defensive line (hopefully) 2/3 of that actually being worth a mention. Pittman/Beanie combo in the backfield, seasoned offensive line, seasoned defense, not to mention the top recruits we will be getting. We will be back, watch for it.





PA sports??!?! Talk to me when the Eagles win a championship the Browns won about a decades worth. Do I have to even talk college ball? Ohio State owns unless your USC, Okie, or Michigan. Florida still has 5 NC's to go untill they get to us. Sixers ain't shit now. Hockey i'll give the edge to Philly, the blow jackets...well...blow.
