How about them BUCKEYES

[kklick]

Well that turned out to be a great Fiesta Bowl. Well for the Buckeye fans at least. I think ND may have underestimated the talent they were going to face.

Now on to next year. My first pick for the Hiesman. Troy Smith of course. What a great game he had today. He really progressed throughout the season and finished with a great performance.

All I can say is bring on Texas. We play them second game of the year next year. I can guaranteed we won't give them another game. Looks to be an exciting season coming up.

Best of luck to any of you who have games left. Looks like early in the georgia game west va. is up. Should be another good game there.

Ohio State was my preseason pick to win the National Championship this year. They came darn close, too. Had they beaten Texas (and they almost did) that game against PSU would have meant even more and who knows how it would have ended. Replacing the middle of that defense will be tough, but they are still a strong pick for next year.

After watching penn state last night I still don't know how we lost to them. That was one of the worst offensive bowl games I've watched. I don't really think it was because of spectacular defense either. Neither offense could really get anything going. Then at the end when they all started missing field goals it was kind of like a train wreck. I just couldn't turn it off. I was glad to see penn state pull it out but that was painful to watch.

I'm really looking forward to the buckeyes season next year. We lose some big defense so that may hurt a bit but our offense should be top notch next year.

Maybe that's because those were two great defenses on the field last night.

I disagree...it was PSU's spectacular defense that shut down OSU and most of the rest of the big 10/11.

That's exactly the way I would describe it. Being a PSU alumn, it was like watching a train wreck with your family aboard.

Thanks...I was rooting for the Buckeyes against ND. It's hard to believe, but I root for OSU most of the time...unless they are playing PSU.

Tressel is a

great coach. It will be interesting to see what type of team he puts together after recruiting all of his own guys.

Well I'll always pull for the big 10 teams in the bowl games. Got to support the coference at least. I really don't mind penn state. The president of our company is penn state alum so we usually like to get him fired up a little. Was a different story this year though.

I think the big 10 should be pretty tough again next year. I really hope pusluzni sp? I know that can't be right but I really hope that injury last night was not serious. He was a big part of beating the buckeyes and I really hate to see anyone with that much talent get hurt in their last game. Best wishes to him.

They are thinking there might be some ligament damage. It might not be an ACL since the knee didn't bend side to side...just backwards. He was looking to go pro, so I'm not sure what will happen. It is a shame though...anyone who can beat out Hawk for the Butkus award is special. I'll be surprised if A.J. isn't a top 5 pick. I hope he goes 12th to my Browns though.

Now you and me both would love to see AJ go to the browns but I don't think that will happen. Would be nice though. I'm sure his family would love it too.

Hey if Posluszny ( correct now ) makes it he'd still be a good pick for the browns.
