The thing about Oregon’s offense is that it’s entirely impotent before it gets on a role. This game could easily wind up looking like the first one against Boise State.

It was a credible argument then. The round-robin schedule really masks how weak that conference actually is.

by fitzhume on Jan 1, 2010 4:40 PM CST reply actions

Teams in the same conference beating each other doesn’t make an argument, but ok.

When they did the rosters for Oregon and all the starters were from California, and they showed how many Ohio State players were from out of state it really brought hom to me how good we have it in recruiting.

Those Taco Bell commercials are as accurate as the McDonalds commercials that cast an Indian dude as a cashier. It’s McDonalds, not McDonnell-Douglas’ IT department, for Christa sake.

My credit cards have all been maxed out
The meat in my freezer all thawed
The IRS laid the facts out
It’s all worse than I thought
The welfare lady said enough is enough
The kids ain’t been to school in weeks

Crystal-meth in the bathtub
Blood splattered in my sink
Laying around in the aftermath
It’s all worse than you think

It would only be better if it were Tiger Woods asking the counter girls if “the five-layer deal is still cool.”

HJ,

I don’t think that’s true about James as he is a redshirt freshman and Applewhite just finished his second year at Texas. I don’t think he would have had time to recruit him unless he was recruiting him for Alabama. With that being said, I’m glad we took Hills and Newton for Rodgers and James.

If Texas had lost to Nebraska, Cincy would be playing on January 7th. Think about that for a moment.

That may have single-handedly spelled the demise of the BCS. And it would have been a laugh riot.

by fitzhume on Jan 1, 2010 9:22 PM CST reply actions

The polls would have shifted significantly with a Texas loss. Cincy’s 45-44 win over Pitt would not have helped them pick up the #2 votes.

Cincy looks like a team that just lost its head coach.

Did anyone see the guys digging up a hole in the rose bowl field after the game? Right in front of the osu end zone, 3 lawn crew (?) were huddled around a hole with shovels digging into the turf.

It was right behind the ESPN live shot when they had Tressel on the rose bowl sports center desk after the win.

I’m thinking it could be a bama-supplied IED… maybe fueled with corn-likker and set to explode when Shipley tries to cross the goal-line?
