4. Did you see Will Smith out there

He's all over the place creaming everybody

[Awsi Dooger]

9. Yeah, Smith is downright scarry

Games like this are fantastic, so much more entertaining than those pinball, pretend-to-defend games they play in the PAC-10.

[sasquatch]

10. Yes, they are

They play defense like you couldn't believe in the Big Ten. Espically these two teams.

[sasquatch]

5. FUMBLE OUR BALL

WOOHOO!!:bounce: :bounce:

[sasquatch]

6. Field Goal score 7-3 Wisconsin

[FlashHarry]

This Hawkeye fan wishes you well...

[sasquatch]

8. Halftime!!!

Score Ohio State 3 Wisconisn 7

[sasquatch]

11. Great special teams play

great punt and great coverage. Good job guys:)

[Bushfire]

13. 3rd Qtr Badger fieldgoal 10-3

Buckeyes defense knocks out starting Badger QB with excessive force after he's already down. Way to keep it clean Buckeyes.

[HuckleB]

12. BADGERS!

Go, Badgers, Go!

[Bushfire]

14. Badgers pick off OH ST in 4th Qtr

[Awsi Dooger]

15. Matching TDs

Gamble just bit on an out and up, something that happened a couple of times late last season.

17-10 Badgers with 5+ left

Up to Krenzel again.

[Bushfire]

16. Lee Evans 79yd TD pass reception

Badgers 17-10. Say goodnight Buckeyes!

[sasquatch]

17. Nail in the coffin

Good Job Wisconsin you earned it

[Cush]

18. OSU Loses

[Bushfire]

19. Badgers win.

Buckeyes gracious in the end of their 19 game winning streak.

[Ohio Dem]

20. Congratulations to Wisconsin.

It was nice while it lasted. 19 in a row isn't bad.

It was bound to happen sooner or later, and tonight it did. Well, there's still the Rose Bowl to play for.

[sasquatch]

It's still early in the season Ohio Dem

anything could happen along the stretch of the Season:evilgrin:

[Ohio Dem]

Oh, that's true.

But there are still a lot of tough games coming up. I think the MNC is out of the question now. The voters would never allow it. And maybe the voters are right.

[AWD]

34. Hell, there's still the Sugar Bowl...

One loss does not prevent that (unless two or mre teams go unbeaten, like last year)....but I don't see anybody beating Oklahoma. Did you see how easy they scored on Texas?

Miami has the only shot at the Sooners, and it'll take an effort like OSU put on last year.

[Paragon]

21. Finally

I was way beyond tired hearing Buckeyes bragging about their luck.

Hail to the victors valiant. :D

[Ohio Dem]

24. At least the Buckeyes didn't lose to a team like Oregon.

What's up with that?

[Paragon]

27. Thunder and Lightning

Mesmorized by the gaudy CFL uniforms. Only possible explanation.

[Ohio Dem]

30. LOL

You might have a point there.

I'm surprisingly not heartbroken right now. Joking with a UM fan after an OSU loss? I'm glad I'm taking this so well.

[sasquatch]

25. You're gonna rot in hell for using a line from that retarded song

OMG I can't wait to see someone in a Maze and Blue Helmet get STROKED:argh:

[Paragon]

31. I'm going to hell, anyway

And I'll burn in eternal hellflame in the knowledge that Michigan won the Big Ten in 2003 by spanking a shitty OSU team. :D

[sasquatch]

35. Tresell OWNS your asses

He's never lost to that dog ass team. This is just going to piss off the Buckeyes more when we have to play that team up north.

[Paragon]

40. Wow, congrats

It's his third season. So impressed.

[sasquatch]

46. Better than that sorry ass Cooper

I swear he threw those games. He wasn't worth a bucket of tobacco spit when it came to playing Michigan.

[AWD]

39. Hell?

Hell?

You're a Michigan fan. Hell would be an improvement.

-----

That's what I'd say if I still had a winning streak.

[Paragon]

43. We do.

One game more than you do.

[AWD]

48. I just knew...

...that cheering for Michigan (so OSU would get help) would backfire on me.

[HuckleB]

26. Woo hoo!

Heck of a game on both sides.

It was an awesome streak for OSU. I've got to say that.

[madrchsod]

22. wisconsin..yes!!!

the beer will be flowing tonight in madison!!! i wish i was there....

[Awsi Dooger]

23. 19 game streak including NC with win over 'Canes was quite a feat

And OSU is not out of it, given all the losses today. But they would likely need the Miami/Va Tech winner to lose somewhere else.

The irony tonight was the cheapshot neck shove that knocked out the Badger QB. His backup threw a perfect TD pass to pull out the game.

[sasquatch]

28. Yeah that was chickenshit football

But what else do you expect from a Kentuckian:shrug:

[Ohio Dem]

32. As on OSU fan, I must say:

Yep, that was bullshit. I hope they kick him off the team. There's no use for that in College Football. That really pissed me off.

[AWD]

36. What was he thinking???

I thought he was on top of the guy, and I didn't think he was pushing down.

Replays look much different than my initial perception.

Chris Gamble made sure they didn't complain about having to play the 2nd-stringer, though. Damn, I just can't be mad at Gamble....but I should be.

[Ohio Dem]

41. Apparently, he was thinking,

"I'm gonna tear this guy's larynx out!"

As for Gamble, that was only one play. OSU lost the whole game tonight. That was just the last big play that did us in. I mean, somebody fumbled a punt, too. Oh shit, never mind.

[Awsi Dooger]

49. Miami wasted 4 or 5 plays trying to make Gamble bite

On the out and up in the Fiesta Bowl. And with an awesome talent like Andre Johnson, no less. It never came close. Gamble blanketed him after the first quarter.

No, you can't blame Gamble. That ring was as much his responsibility as anyone's.

And my 'Canes, BTW, can certainly play with Oklahoma. Man to man we still have more talent and speed than them, book it. And we simply do not allow many points, that's what many overlooked going into today. But OU's QB situation is far superior, and Miami can't get by with one offensive TD per game. That happened vs. West Virginia and today.

[sasquatch]

52. The question is....

Miami physical enough to beat Oklahoma. That's why they lost to OSU last year. When OSU matched up with thier speed, they didn't have anything to awnser with. OSU just physicaly man handled them all night. That's the only question I have about Miami.

[Awsi Dooger]

56. Good point

Miami's interior OL is much more athletic this year, after a couple of players changed positions this offseason. Today was the first game they were healthy all year.

Last season we were stuck with Brett Romberg at center and Rash Ahouli (or whatever) at one guard. They were good college players but unathletic stiffs who were sure to flop against Patterson and the other OSU tackles. Not that I could get anyone in Miami to understand that before the game.

Oklahoma could certainly crowd the line and force Brock Berlin and Jarred Payton to beat them. That combo is such a dropoff from Dorsey and McGahee that I realistically don't think it will be a championship year.

[trumad]

62. Let's not get to carried away

Man-Handling implies that OSU beat Miami's ass when in reality OU with the luck of God and silly ass referees won that game....

Miami would beat OU silly because OU play's nobody with Miami's talent...OU play's in the weekest conference in College football...Period!

[Bozita]

29. Am I the only one shocked by strangling?

I don't have a dog in this fight.

Football is a game of "controlled violence." This went well beyond.

[sasquatch]

33. I was shocked as well

I'd bench his ass next week if I was Tressel. I wouldn't care if I lost because of it. You gotta stand for something or you'll fall for anything.

[Ohio Dem]

38. Bench him?

Cut him. Send a message.

Let him keep his free ride if you must, but Tressel shouldn't put up with that sort of bullshit. He doesn't play again if I'm the coach. Period.

[Bozita]

44. What I saw warranted an arrest. That was NOT football.

I've been a football freak for a looong time. Never saw ANYTHING like that before

[underpants]

63. To you and Ohio Dem I completely agree

Gone.

There has been little or no mention of it today on any of the sports shows I've been watching. Reynolds will be lucky if no charges are filed civil or criminal in Madison.

My wife and I had been discussing this and I said at least a one game suspension and public apology but really he should be off the team the rest of the year. She says the scholarship should be taken away too. I think I agree.

[Wapsie B]

37. So the Mary Lou Rettons of College Football

finally get their comeuppance. BTW whoever choked Sorgi should be suspended for the rest of the season by the Big 10.

[oxycontinrush]

42. Woody Hayes was first to coach choking at OSU

Remember the OSU-Clemson game?

Ohio State has a long and proud history of choking.

[sasquatch]

45. He punched him

He didn't Choke him. Woody is a great man that coached three years too long and let his temper get to him. Only Bear Bryant is worthy of Woody's level of coaching.

[oxycontinrush]

47. it's okay for coaches to punch opposing players in throat, huh?

One incident CAN erase a long history of accomplishments... and that's one of the best examples I can think of.

[AWD]

50. Stop the clock!

It took 31 minutes for the haters to come in and spew shit around!

That's a lot longer than I had thought it would take.

[sasquatch]

51. And that's why he was fired

Gee should we throw away all of the Bear's accomplishments because he was appeasing bigots? That was probably worse than punching a kid in the throat in my opinion. Then again the kid was TAUNTING the Ohio State sideline. Hell there's people justifying Zimmer going after Pedro because he was taunting him. What are you a idiot ACC/SEC worshiping southerner?

[oxycontinrush]

55. Nope... just don't like choking in college football games

What... does someone have to be an "evil Southerner" in your opinion or something to dislike extreme behavior in what's supposed to be an amateur sport?

Matter of fact, I can't figure out your train of thought here at all. What does where someone is from have to do with noticing a trend for a certain behavior at a certain university? That don't make no damn sense.

By the way, no, I'm no Bear Bryant fan. Saying Woody Hayes tossed his accomplishments out the window when he hit that kid in the throat is by no means promoting Bear Bryant.

[Ohio Dem]

57. Is your real name

Capn Sunshine?

On edit: sasquatch didn't say "evil Southerner," you did. He said "idiot Southerner." There's a difference, you know. Words mean things.

[Ohio Dem]

58. That's what I thought.

Same MO. You should really try to find some new material.

[Awsi Dooger]

53. How about an Ohio State/USC Rose Bowl?

A classic, 35 years removed from your great team whipping Juice and Co. A matchup like that would be anticipated almost as much as the title game. Two of the great bands, also.

[AWD]

54. That would be special!

[The Lone Liberal]

64. Who won last years Rose Bowl?

Anyone remember?

[Ohio Dem]

65. Washington won the Rose Bowl last year.

The BCS completely screwed up the Rose Bowl last year. USC and Iowa played in the Orange Bowl, and Oklahoma and Washington State in the Rose.

[AWD]

59. After the loss....

....my wife looked kinda worried. She sees how fired up I get during the game, and she just worries that my mood will be nasty for a long time after.

She forgets that after the game, I'm always cheerful whether we win or lose.

But of COURSE she'd forget that....it's been 2 years since she's seen me after a loss!

[Ohio Dem]

60. It HAS been a long time.

I almost forgot what it was like.

Regarding your wife: She seems really cool, from what she's posted here. She should post more.

[Awsi Dooger]

61. It's still hard for me to accept the Fiesta Bowl defeat

Not like the 2000 election, but sometimes I briefly put them in the same category. (on edit: as a letdown, not inequity. I didn't have much problem with the pass interference call, other than how late it came)

Damn, it just felt like 34 in a row should have been worth at least 2 titles, not one.

Especially the bizarre scheduling masochism that cost the 'Canes a BCS title shot in 2000. Almost no one is aware of it, even the most avid college football fans.

Miami was scheduled to open home vs. East Carolina. Even a revenge game after blowing a 20 point halftime lead at EC in '99. But East Carolina asked out of the game in April, with a scheduling conflict. Miami obliged, even though there was no Division 1 opponent available as a replacement. The 'Canes settled for McNeese St, and got ZERO points on the BCS computer. As it turned out, even a ONE POINT home victory over East Carolina would have put Miami in the Orange Bowl title game vs. Oklahoma.

That was the year FSU advanced despite the 27-24 loss to Miami and identical records.
