Florida DE Jarvis Moss sacks OSU again in print

“We played a lot better teams than them. Honestly, it could have been four or five better teams than them.”

Does OSU set itself up for a similar collapse in 2007? So far schedule consists of

Youngstown State
Akron
Kent State and
Washington (5-7) this year and ranked 65th by cfn.scout.com

Patsies may lead to another feeling of invincibility and heartbreaking losses at end of season.

Post mortem continues in today’s Dispatch as basketball loses to Wisconsin.

Todd Jones of Dispatch credits Trussell with two bonehead calls in 2nd quarter. I missed the other one (one was going for it on 4th down). Jones tries to explain loss as mental collapse.

AP and Coaches poll gives OSU no. 2 based on pity votes. cfn.scout.com ranks Louisville and Boise State and Florida ahead of Bucks. 4th is probably too generous.

Roy Hall does in Ginn by tackling him in endzone and rolling Ginn’s ankle. This is probably good for Buckeyes as this may keep Ginn around for another year rather than risk his draft status because of injury. Wonder if Hall gets disciplined in any way?

Not only do we need a playoff system to avoid similar national championship farces but we need to rethink Heisman. It shouldn’t go to best player on a top team but should go to the best player.

Highlights from 1460thefan.com Buckeye Haters post

The AP is reporting today that Ted Ginn, Jr. hurt his ankle during his touchdown celebration. How pathetic is that? I guess it is more important to preen for the cameras than to take care of business!!

Hey Jan 9, 2007 01:22 pm: That’s teh pot calling the kettle black! OSU fans are the most arrogant in the land. Hence the reason why folks in 49 of 50 states are laughing their tails off at your embarassing loss!!!!

Ohio State fans should thank God for Notre Dame. If it wasn’t for the Irish, Ohio State would be the most overrated team in college football.

Last night’s game was a shining example of why preseason polls are worthless and should be chomped. Oops. Did I just say that? Had the pollsters been able to consider that OSU piled up it’s perfect record against 11 opponents with a combined 54-57 win/loss record do you think they still would have been ranked No. 1? OSU is the second best team in the country? Hardly! Wake up, Big Ten and middle America, football isn’t football unless it’s played in the SEC. Geaux Tigers and Go Gators!

Even BO must be smiling.

Smith gets taste of what his NFL experience will be like from Gators. No wonder he is projected to go in the later rounds.

Can you say adjustments?? Cause I didn’t see a one on Monday night. Tressel looked like he had seen Sasquatch, and Jesus all at once. Pathetic. Show some emotion, show some fire!!! And for cryin’ out loud, get rid of the LAMANENT PLAY MENU!!! Can you play from emotion just once??? The Gators sure looked like they wanted to win, and guess what?? THEY DID!!!!!! Amazing how that works huh?? Go back to Columbus and burn down a library or something…oh wait, they already did that.

THE Overated State University.

It could have been worse. OSU cunld have played the team with the #1 defense instead of the #2 with pretty much the same results. For those who aren’t sure who that team is, they are right behind OSU in the final AP poll and from what I watched last night should be in the #2 position.

The buck stops here. The SEC and THE University of Florida have been vindicated. Sorry L-OSu-ERS.

hEE,hEE,hEE-BOY, THAT WAS FUN…DID THE BIG BAD BUCKEYE FALL DOWN AND GO BOOM ?

Well, once again we prove that “we sure ain’t Linda Lovelace” ….. `cause as always WE do choke on the big one.

The score should have been worse. Reggie Nelson got held on that opening play (for about two seconds by #8). It should have been 41-7

Somebody asked “How much did OSU pay for the (undeserved) #2 ranking? Probably somewhere around the amount that they paid to Terry Porter in ‘03 to give the Uck-Eyes the gift that kept on giving. Too bad the Gators couldn’t have smashmouthed your pansy ass players at the scene of the Miami crime. Speaking of crime – what jail is your “hero” Clarett sharing with his Gooood Buddy these days. Ah – the family values of Columbus. Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha…

The Buckeyes were clearly the best team on the field…..for the first 9 seconds.

its all about strength of schedule. SEC has it. Big 10 doesn’t. Buckeyes probably would not have even made a BCS game if they were in the SEC. No way they could stand up to a schedule that included the talent level of SEC. Would likely be a 3 loss team playing in the Midas Muffler Bowl. Ofer eight against the SEC just about says it all.

It isn’t big and it isn’t ten. In fact, all you’ve got is ESPN. The Gators chomped, While Chris Leak romped, And Pat Forde opened a new bottle of gin! Go Gators! Go SEC!

What happened to Mr. Heisman? I thought he was supposed to be good? I guess that Heisman trophy winners aren’t supposed to be able to throw over 100 yards during a single game? Now Ohio State fans can take it down about 30 notches because they aren’t the best team out there. They were lucky to even score 14 points on the Gators. The funny thing is they weren’t even close! The “Buckeyes” got clobbered and I loved every minute of it because “OH HOW I HATE OHIO STATE!!” Nicely done Buckeyes, nicely done!

Florida #! OSU #2 Pleeze. Give me a break. OSU deserves a #7 or lower rating and no more. No offence due to a Great Florida Defence. 82 yards of offence. How much money did OSU give to the BCS to BUY the #2 rating. Give me a break. LSU, Auburn, Boise State and USC are all better teams. Oh, and didn’t Florida just beat OSU in Basketball, like 86-60 and beat the mighty Greg WHO! GO GATORS!!!!!!

OSU – you thought you had the game won 51 days ago. I guess you forgot to show up in Arizona and play for more than 8.5 seconds. It was great to see that team get man-handled like a 1A high school team. The Vest and the rest were pathetic and the records set for lowest offense will NEVER be broken again!!!!

OSU finally plays a respectable team and gets completely exposed. They were overrated all year.

Hang on Sloopy and all Buckeye faithful. Even though the bucks were pathetic last night they have next year to look forward to where they are almost certain to win the state championship with Akron, Youngstown State and Kent State on the schedule. Geez I wonder why they weren’t ready for Florida?

i think OSU fans were shocked to see that there are other conferences out there that can play football besides the Big 10. i mean, seriously, are you fans that stupid and blinded??? open your eyes, and learn some sportsmanship for god’s sake.

Hi from NC-many OH transplants living here & I am so sick and tired of their obnoxious gloating. I lived in Columbus for one year back when the sniper stuff was going on. The first person to tell me there was a sniper in Columbus was my mother who lives in Florida. Why? Because the local news was too busy salivating over every single action of Maurice Clarrett. I swear to God, the nightly news sounded like this, “Good evening Buckeye Nation. Maurice Clarret has been spotted in the meat isle of Giant Eagle. We will have nonstop coverage as this story unfolds.” This maniacal obsession would be amusing in a childish way if you weren’t so ANNOYING. Get over it.

Has anyone ever been asked to return the Heisman trophy (other than for double murder)?

And how do you spell OVERRATED? It is either OSU or TROY SMITH!!! The LITTLE 10 were 2 wins and 5 losses in bowl games!!

As soon as Troy was tracked down and sacked from behind his demeanor changed. It Hit him instantly.”uh-oh, I’m not in the big ten anymore”…this is EXACTLY what will happen after his first snap in NFL camp. Welcome the next Andre Ware to the league.

am upset that Florida did not try to score on the last drive to make my evening all the more entertaining. Michigan may have lost in the Rose Bowl but nothing like last night. It goes to show that if OSU would have provided a better playing field (one that did not have MIchigan slipping and falling down) that Michigan would have won. OSU fans are full of themselves!

OSU fans are the worst. I traveled to the “shoe” for a game against PSU and witnessed the worst display of classless fans than anywhere. We acutally saw they push people (elderly) to the ground and dump drinks on them. I will honestly say I will never visit the campus of OSU the rest of my life! I will have to disagree on the U of M coment. I was treated the complete opposit at the Big House even sitting in the middle of the student section. U of M fans are great except when defending themselves aganist OSU fans. Signed: Happy to see the Bucks loose in Toledo!
