I woke up this morning still riding the high that comes with winning the national championship. B1g football. Holy poo poo. I can't wait until next year and the QB controversy (or having 2 QBs leaving) that comes with it.

OSU fans are about to become smug as gently caress.

I realize that and it's a huge part of why I find it funny. Osu had no business being there so it's hilarious they won and get to sop up the sec tears.

If I were Jones I'd declare. There's no guarantee he's the starter next year considering Miller and Barrett will be healed up. If you declare you get a team to take a flyer on you in the 2nd-4th round (maybe higher since the position is so shallow this year,) draw a salary while holding a clipboard for the next few years while being able to cash in on every Ohio endorsement in existence and at worst be a washout/perennial NFL backup that keeps cashing checks. Considering his youth/inexperience he would probably be on the Rodgers plan with at least three years of waiting before he would have any expectations from a team standpoint.

If he stays and starts he would be a guaranteed top 5 pick if he comes close to the success Ohio State had this year, but that's a lot of ifs.

Right sorry I didn't check the schedule.

Virginia Tech will be the next team to destroy Ohio State.

That's why I thought all of the Braxon --> FSU rumors made no sense. Jimbo's offense and Braxton seem to be pretty clearly at odds.

Also, you don't have to be an old racist like Det to dislike the NBA. Even a hip young cat such as myself thinks that league blows. You would all be wise to spend your early summer nights watching the NHL playoffs. That is literally the only time I miss having cable.

Unfortunately, not even Jesus himself on the OSU roster could soothe the general public's dislike of the Buckeyes.

If Ohio was awesome, you assholes would stop infecting the rest of the country.

Keep your rings--I never have to tell anyone 'I'm from Ohio.'

Our national nightmare is over.

ESPN has removed both Lou Holtz AND Mark May from College Football Final and will now be going with Adnan Virk, Danny Kanell and Joey Galloway.

OSU fans have some serious mojo working for that game, I kinda love it.

That gameplan didn't work because your offense was inexperienced, it worked because Urban Meyer hadn't seen it in 20 years. Bud did that TV trope equivalent of finding an obscure law from 1825 to save the teen center from the evil oil magnate.

The only reason it might not have worked later in the season is because VT was crippled with injuries. A healthy VT could have played OSU in late October and seen as much success with that gameplan.

You guys got beat because Foster outwitted Meyer not because your team wasn't ready to face a defense like that. People spent the next like 4-6 weeks trying to scheme the same way against OSU and you guys chewed them up.

And I'm fairly confident OSU wins this game but I honestly don't care because the best you can do at this point is split the series which is all sorts of considering where VT is as a program right now.

The point was you changed your game plan because you'd seen the D. If VT didn't debut it you never would have seen it the whole year and you would have been as prepared for it in November as you were in September, which is to say not at all.

OSU fans either seem to ignore what VT was last year or hype them up a bit to take the sting out of that loss but your QB and your OL, which magically seemed to work fine every other week of the season, wasn't the reason you lost that game, which is my point.

Rushing ypc totals of less than 5 last year for OSU:

Navy(4.8)
VT(2.7)
PSU(3.8)
Oregon(4.9)

JT Barrett's QBR. Hmm, I'm struggling to find the inexperience in him.



I don't even want to do the sack and hurry numbers but I guarantee you there's a big heaping spike at the VT game and comparative nothingness surrounding it.


You got outsmarted and outplayed from the start, your oh so inexperienced offense showed little trouble pushing around nearly anyone else during the year and the troubles you had with PSU on a completely different D show that a healthy VT would have had success with their gameplan if they played OSU later in the season.

OSU lost because nobody saw that defense coming. For no other reason did that game play out the way it did. You guys were preseason top 5 last year let's not act like playing how you did in virtually anything but the VT game was something other than how it should have been(Cardale Jones aside, a healthy Barrett could still have won you the title).
