Dirty Dan Dawkins Posted January 1 Share Posted January 1 Ohio State played a heck of a game and I am surprised at their loss and I’m really surprised I sat through this entire game, but as Ric Flair said, “to be the man, you gotta beat the man.” And as my daddy always says, “It’s all over but the crying’.” If Harrison wasn’t put in what I assume to be concussion protocol, I think this game would have turned out quite different.

Buckshot Bob Posted January 1 Share Posted January 1 I didn’t stay up, but it’s good to hear. My 2 favorite teams are U of M “ who had their first bad day of the season yesterday” and whoever is playing Ohio State Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Bill Burt Posted January 1 Share Posted January 1 I’ve never been an OSU fan. Maybe because they empathize the ‘the’ Ohio State University, or maybe because they mistakenly think they’re on par with THE University of Alabama. In any case, this was a game where I liked the winning team and disliked the losing team, classic win win situation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackwater 53393 Posted January 1 Share Posted January 1 Both games were definitely entertaining. I was an OSU fan years ago, but they disappointed me so many times that I moved on to the ‘Bama Bandwagon. Actually, I was a Bear Bryant fan first and foremost. I really liked TCU’s style and attitude, yesterday! Seeing them put Harbaugh and the cocky Wolverines on the bus back home was the highlight of the day!! I’m for any SEC team but Tennessee. Howsomever, I wouldn’t be TOO disappointed if them horney toads won it all!! Ya’know! Underdogs and all that… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Sage, SASS #49891 Life Posted January 1 Share Posted January 1 Never been a Ohio State fan, guess it's because of Woody Hayes, didn't like him at all. Georgia was really lucky to win the game. The Championship game is going to be a high scoring, barn burner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is that bad of me? UGA-OSU was just an hour long bar brawl. Ohio State just got in the last swing- and missed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Okie Sawbones, SASS #77381 Posted January 1 Share Posted January 1 No love for Ohio State since the 1977 game. With under 90 seconds left in regulation, the Sooners fought back and scored a touchdown—but the conversion failed. Down 28-26, the Sooners attempted a squib kick on the ensuing kickoff. A deflection led to the Sooners getting the ball back—and a chance to win the game was now presented. Four plays later, the Sooners were in field goal range for von Schamann. With three seconds left, von Schamann delivered a 41-yard field goal that lifted the Sooners to a 29-28 victory in Columbus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blackwater 53393 Posted January 1 Share Posted January 1 TCU isn’t one of those huge, highly funded schools. They’re a perennial underdog!! They gave a graphic comparison of TCU and Michigan yesterday and it was polar opposites! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally, I'm tired of seeing 'perennial powers' getting the nod- just to be blown out in the semifinals (cough, cough...Notre Dame..... cough, cough). It happens every preseason with the first Top 25 poll. How many 'traditional powers' are top 10 in the first poll and not even in the Top 25 a month later?

DocWard Posted January 1 Share Posted January 1 I'm an OSU fan, and a U of M fan, so long as they aren't playing OSU. I certainly didn't expect the games to turn out the way they did, though. I thought TCU-Michigan would be a close one, and Georgia-OSU would be a blowout. No problems with Georgia, but sorry, I have to root for a team that has a Horned Frog for a mascot. So, go TCU!

You know, like they complained about Alabama and LSU or UGA making the show. With Texas and OU (one of the few playoff regulars-along with Clemson- that has shown that they can beat top tier SEC teams consistently) coming into the SEC shortly, something must be done! Hence, the expansion of the playoffs- and limiting it to conference champions. After all, it's much more fair to include New Mexico State in a National Championship Playoff than it is to face an undefeated SEC champ AND a 1 loss SEC school, too. Never mind that they both played a top 10 toughest schedule that came down to a conference championship game, we must be inclusive and give Troy and Coastal Carolina a seat at the table instead of having the best teams in the country play do decide who is the best.
