DUDE: THE TITLE GAME.

Dude. Title game. Join us for the liveblog over at the Sporting Blog, featuring quarter by quarter updates from bars full of Ohio State and LSU fans. We’re doing the watching in that order precisely to avoid getting killed as a Florida fan and to avoid pepper spray. That shit feels like you inhaled a bushel of tacks when it hits.

I don’t get the USC hate? They can’t help what conference they’re in, so they go out of their way to schedule very strong out of conference games (VT, Auburn, Arkansas, Nebraska, Notre Dame all in the past 6 years, ND every year). Usually it works, but years like this when Nebraska and ND suck, it doesn’t. But, at least they try to schedule tough, obviously knowing that everyone’s conference schedule will come under fire, unless the SEC’s.

baconboy says:

d-nice, you are falling into bnb’s trap. You need to distinguish between out of conference and out of region. Florida plays FSU out of conference every year; Georgia plays Ga Tech; South Carolina plays Clemson. Florida also has Miami on the schedule when it can afford to (like next year). Unlike OSU, we don’t have to drive very far to find tough competition.

So, don’t say out of conference when you mean out of region, because plenty of SEC teams annually play tough out of conference teams.

bnb614,

And while we’re bashing the Big 10, and OSU in particular, could you guys have possibly picked a shittier song than “Hang on Sloopy” to be your “Anthem”? Seriously, that song sucks. And no one is impressed that you guys can spell out your state’s four letter name, no matter how drunk you are while doing it.

The fuckin point is…..if you play in a weak conference and play a weak out of conference schedule, and the 2 ranked opponents you play, you happen to lose , speaks volumes about trying to compete against a battle tested squad, it just doesnt bode well since you will never learn to play from behind and win at all cost…..and that was the Number 1 defense in the nation??? Yeh on paper, games aint played on paper, and this is what you get…….again……tired of the excuses—–Big 10 wont be back for awhile——enjoyed watching Michigan beat Fla, dont think Michigan or tOSU can get by next year each other or another team ………
Next years MNC game….USC vs UGA/WfVU…….year after…..
UF vs tOSU part deaux…….yr after Oklahoma vs Alabama….tOSU has some GREAT players, no doubt..Beanie Wells could be a legit Heisman winner pretty quick, good def guys……just dont play well as a team for 4 full quarters……I think tOSU will have to prove ALOT to get by USCw, need some coaching things ironed out like penalities…..if they get by USCw, they will have enough confidence for a top 2 or 3 ranking, but I think USCw has MORE talent than LSU, so tOSU, your National Championship game starts at the Coliseum…GET READY NOW…..

That’s the first time I’ve looked at an adult in something Disney related and thought “well hello…” – inasmuch as I’m guessing that the website selling Disney latex fetish wear isn’t official as such.

As for bnb614: glad to see you’re following up the onepeat crack with some shit-talking about Pete Carroll – only 9 months early. Hope that took the sting out of the back-to-back MNC spankeration of Cheatypants McSweatervest and the red-assed Buckeyes. See you in September!

D-nice says:

396, I actually think USCw, even if they beat OSU, is a year away. They have a ton of talent, but have to break in a new quarterback, and they lost a lot of experience on defense, and the defense is what saved their season from being even worse (by their standards).

But, their skill position players really started to come around.

I can see them making a NC run or going 9-3 with a couple too-close-for-comfort wins within those 9, depending on who steps up and how fast they gel.

I’m expecting a very good season, but probably not an NC appearance, but who knows after this season.

PW says:

I think a team with tOSU’s talent and coaching could compete in the SEC.

The point I believe most of the SEC posters are trying to make is that the tests that a team like LSU (or UF last season) faces week in and week out in the SEC better prepares them for a big game than the weaker schedule a team like OSU plays.

Other than the loss to Illinois, only one team came within 10 points of tOSU this season. When you aren’t tested, you won’t get better. It’s not that tOSU isn’t a great team, they just weren’t as prepared to play a full game as LSU was.

StageCoach says:

Congrats to LSU and the SEC on another BCS championship. As a staunch Buckeye, it hurts like hell to lose another shot at it, but everyone knew this was a rebuilding year anyway. It was supposed to be between OSU and State Penn for 3rd place in the Big 10, so making it to NOLA was an overachievement. It’s not unreasonable that a team with better talent won.

I sincerely hope nobody tries to float the split championship crap. It belongs to LSU, they won it fair and square, by the rules of the BCS.

The Ohio State Univ is now 0 and 8 or 9 against the SEC in its last bowl games against that conference?

Pathetic.

Also pathetic how the tOSU’ers are spinning this loss, that it was not as bad as last year’s loss to the Gators.

# 385 I love it when tOSU fans run their mouths after getting ass raped in a BCS game. USC ripped the team that knocked your dick in the dirt, and did it in your own house, but now you’re gonna dominate the Trojans? Dude, tOSU should stick to playing the Akrons of the world. Pac-10 dominates the Big 10

And Pac-10 football has held it’s own in head to head match-ups with the SEC, and owns a winning record with that league since 2000. The SEC might be a tougher league top to bottom, but the Pac-10 is a very good conference

Ohio State was better than 11 SEC teams, including Florida this year.

Ohio State was better than 11 SEC teams, including LSU last year.

Ohio State was better than all 12 SEC teams in 2002.

Jarvis Moss, postgame 2007: “Honestly, we’ve played a lot better teams than them,” Florida defensive end Jarvis Moss said. “I could name four or five teams in the SEC that could probably compete with them and play the same type of game we did against them.”

Harvey Wireman says:

If I were a tOSU fan, I would be MORE mad at the Buckeyes, including Cheaty McSweatervest, than at the gloating fans of the team that beat the snot out of theOSU, or the nuetral ones that call a spade a spade and state that the OSU should not have been in that game in the first place like Hawaii in the other BCS game.

tOSU reminds me of the Buffalo Bills. They somehow got to the big game four times, I think, but everyone remembers them as losers, instead of the second best team in the NFL for those years.

#406

To say OSU was better than the other 11 SEC teams, none of which OSU played, because OSU may be ranked higher at the end of the year (news for you UGA will be over OSU) and/or because OSU had a better overall record playing in a lesser conference, makes you a blind douchebag. You can’t see what’s right in front of your face.

PW has it right. OSU was not tested much this year before last night. If OSU had played consistently better opponents all year they would have known how to take a punch in the face a la LSU this year being down 10-0 or UF last year spotting OSU 7 on the opening kick-off.

OhioDawg says:

Tressell is Big 10 for Stoops. I really didn’t think OSU would show up with their dick in their hand this year, but that’s exactly what happened.

#63 on OSU’s O-line was on skates. Boeckmann was Bambi in the headlights. OSU’s defense marginal at best and confused when it counted.

Anyone comparing the Big Ten favorably to the SEC is just high.

The Artist Formerly Known as tOSUBuckeyes says:

I love all of the over analyzing…it was pretty simple from where I watched the game last night that it basically boiled down to what all big time games boil down to…who tackles the best, plays penalty/mistake free, and who doesn’t turn the ball over.

Of course 1 team being better than the other team can directly affect turnovers, tackling, and penalties, but let’s all be honest here, LSU had 1 penalty in the 4th quarter, and 1 turnover late in the game when it wasn’t really close.

There were plays to be made against LSU. Ohio State held them to a season low offensive yardage and out gained them.

5 personal foul penalties, a dropped touchdown pass that turned into a blocked field goal, and the missed blocked punt all killed any kind of momentum.

All in all, it sucks to lose to an SEC team because of the obnoxious fan base and really that is the only reason I hate it. I have no problem giving LSU and Florida credit, but it’s listening to random Alabama talk shit that drives me nuts.

If winning a National Championship every year was really easy, there would be a program out there doing it every year like Nebraska in the 90’s. It takes a special group of individuals to makeup the right team chemistry and talent to pull it off….especially given our system.

A senior laden team doesn’t hurt things either.

Dear NewAZTiger,

We appreciate your interest in SEC football. Instead of just saying how much you like the SEC, please show it by asking your coaches not to teach the Auburn players how to cheapshot chop block people like Glenn Dorsey. Thanks,

I guess this is what happens when Ted Ginn doesn’t get hurt.

You still lose. Take that arguement and flush it down the toilet tOSU fans. Face the Nation. The Big Ten is overrated as hell and the population shift in this country has effected college football.

Maybe one day they will all come back to Ohio.

Congrats to LSU on their Victory. But into perspective that they played a team that was preseason ranked 11th in country and only slipped to the top due to other teams injuries.

This victory will be marred by the fact it was gift from other teams.

So Merry “F”ing Christmas!

Unless you start the season #1 or #2 and stay there all season, someone needs to lose for you to move up to #1 or #2. So in a way, unless you are #1 or #2 pre-season to the end of the season, every team backs into the title game.

LSU deserves their victory. It wasn’t a gift any more so than any other mnc.

Biggus Rickus says:

I don’t really go for conference pride. I just want most SEC teams to win in order to create the perception that the league is strong top to bottom, particularly with Georgia set to make a NC run next year. I still couldn’t pull for Florida or Tennessee.

The Big 10 was amazingly average this year, and Ohio State was predictably unprepared to face a truly good team because of it. Aside from the defensive line I really didn’t see much of a talent gap. The problem was that Ohio State melted under the pressure. Possibly, that’s due to youth, or it may be due to having no experience against equal or better opponents.

Oh, and does Delany want to take back that letter about the stupidity of SEC players? I saw one team continually making stupid mistakes last night, and it wasn’t the southern one.

I honestly could see only a couple teams from around the country being able to compete in the SEC. USC and West Virginia are the only two teams that I have watched all year that had the speed and consistent playmaking ability to survive in that conference. Before Dixon went down, I would have added Oregon to that group. Before Cal quit in mid October, I would have added them to that mix as well.

Mr Pelican Pants says:

PW summed it up the best, as did Biggus……its true the SEC is a tougher conference, which when the SEC champ is crowned, they earned it….by a trial by fire, which means learning as a team to come from behind in close games in toughest enviroments…and overcoming injuries and adversity…I dont think tOSU had the schedule to prep them….and you dont earn your stripes by playing one tough opponent in a injured Michigan team….hell LSU won its conf champ. with their back up QB, and depth is another thing, LSU was just deeper in personnel…..tOSU just wasnt battle tested enough, kinda like the French in Vietnam….
LSU gets punched in the mouth, tells tOSU after they go up 10-0….”Hey, thats a pretty good right hook ya got there” as they pick themselves up off the mat, then proceed to punch tOSU in the mouth, the gut, kick em in the groin, stomp on their toes, gouge their eyes out then headbutt them, then place them in the Fiquere 4 til they tap out…….then carry them to the turnbuckle and throw them out of the ring and thru the announcers table……for the second year in a row…..
