The Miami team has nothing to be ashamed of, as it was a hard fought, tough, truly great game. It was a toss-up until the end.

Celebrating??? I'm still looking for my clothes WHAT A GAME!!! The best game I have ever seen with lines on a playing surface... Always loved Super Bowl XXV to be the best ever (Helped that the Giants won), But this was an incredible game... Even if you hate football, What an exciting game... Four weeks ago I heard that Miami won 34 games in a row... I told my Mom that the Buckeyes were going to win right then & there... You see, the Buckeyes were National Champions 34 years ago in 1968... Besides... No matter what you do. You can never take the heart away from a Buckeye... Ohio State always leaves their hearts on the field....

Tressel made Miami play into his game... Taking charge of the clock & the entire coaching staff did their homework on the Miami Offense & Defense... I lost count the amount of times Miami had to change their plays at the line or even take a timeout just because the way the Bucks Defense was set up... It was almost like the Buckeyes were telling Miami which offensive plays to run... Speaking of run... There wasn't any from Miami... 64 yards total from a team that easily breaks into the triple digits every game... (My prayers are with Willis McGahee... I almost got sick when I saw it... I am surprised to see that he is already looking to come back next year... He would have gone high in the NFL draft this year, but the fact that he has the heart & desire to still play... I was afraid he would not be able to walk again... I was on the field on Defense, when I played ball years ago when a similar hit happened... It really wasn't the terrifying scream that got to me... It was sound of the snap that I can't get out of my head... No matter what is on the line, you never want to see that happen to anybody... Even a Wolverine The punishing hits handed out by the Bucks were incredible... Miami is always a lightning quick team, but when they getting hit like they were... They were going no where...

What a game saving play by Clarett when Krenzel was picked off in the endzone... Clarett overpowers the ball away from the defender as he wrestled him to the ground... That was a heads up play which you would expect from a veteran player in the NFL... Clarett is a 19 year old true Freshman studying Molecular Genetics... Hopefully he can find a way to clone himself so that the Bucks will always have him for a player. BUCKEYES Dominated!!! Both teams walked off Champions Only one team carried off the Crystal!!! @ GO BUCKS!!! @

Wait until you see the Kat this year!!!

As always... Proud to be a BUCKEYE!!!

Of all the Florida teams, I always liked Florida State. Miami stole a national championship from my Huskers back in '81-'82 era, and I have always rooted for their competition since.

About Cooper... Don't get me started... You hit it right on the head AC... His whole family was very annoying as well... His countless losses to Michigan & several losses in easy Bowl games really made me sick... & I was still excited to try out for the team... When he finally won the Rose Bowl I was worried that the Alumni elders would call him a God & keep him around for another 10 years... Anybody could have won with that team... Eddie George, Bobby Hoing, Orlando Pace, Ricky Dudley, Terry Glenn, Sean Springs... The list goes on & on... The entire team basically went in the first round to the NFL Draft that year... All you heard during the game was that these were Coopers players... Cooper is a moron plain & simple... I don't think he even knew if the ball was inflated or stuffed... He did recruit the players, but he lost a lot too... I worked for the Athletic Department in my final years in college, & assisted in the recruitment of many of the players... He lost players that were a shoe-ins... His son/Side-line cable handler caused major problems in the bars out there, knowing that he could never get into any trouble... Acting like a Kennedy... His daughter somehow got a job as a sports broadcaster on one of the local channels... She was a pompous handful as well. Glad we cleaned house... Where are they now??? By the way... Rutgers can only play two quarters... I was rooting for them as well...I think Miami took them for granted, but Rutgers always leave game in the locker room at halftime... Shame too.

Ed... It was a close one with Cincinnati this year & was happy to see them on the schedule... I agree about Krenzel he was the outstanding leader of the offense... Very smart with the ball as well a natural leader... Thankful he is only a Junior I was worried that I was writing too much again Oops I did it again... I was going to talk about him as well as Patterson on Defense playing his career best thus far.
This past year Tressel picked up 2 of the top High School QBs in the country... Troy Smith - Who must have been cast from the Michael Vick mold who could double as a receiver & Justin Zwick who is am incredible pocket QB... They will both be fighting for the backup job next year, but feel the it will go to Smith. All we loss on Offense is Chris Vance a backup receiver & a few veterans on defense. Only thing is that you never know with college ball... As far as the tickets... They were hard to come by... Of course the Alumni whom donate 7-digits every year get first dibs on the tickets... Sorry not there yet... I could have purchased a package through the University in the neighborhood of $2,800 plus airline tickets... The other problem was I had to work this past weekend Sat & Sun... We do stand out in the crowd though, all in red... I remember going to a game against BC at Giants Stadium & you would not have known that any BC fans were there at all... All I heard on TV this past game was the OSU Band "TBDBITL" & the fans cheering... On several occasions you would hear the chant go around the stadium O-endzone H-sideline I-opp. endzone O-opp. sideline... It was like playing back in the Shoe...

GO BUCKS!!!

Ed - I'm thinking the Cardinals are as bad as the Bengals Yes, there seemed to be 65,000 Ohio people here for the game. Just like when Nebraska plays in Tempe,,,,,the Big Red fans fill the house,,,,,makes it look like a home game, lol.

Go Buckeyes!
