Ohio State Football!!!

Flagpole, you are a douche. Why don't you post at www.letsfootball.com since you don't run anymore and this has nothing to do with running ?

Real men discuss football.

Bring those football track meets up north in December to play in snow, rain, sleet, and wind and see how they do.

Um...so you guys claim the layoff from November to January hurts the Buckeyes. Now you say a team should be built to play in December. Please tell me which Big Ten/Eleven games are played in December you ignorant clown. Seriously, how much snow and sleet have the Buckeyes played in over the last several years? You are ignorant.

Who says I don't run anymore? I ran 6 days last week and Monday and Tuesday so far this week. Got a 3-mile run planned for tonight with my 9-year-old son and then running with some friends of mine on Thursday. Actually I've been running a lot the last few months.

As is always the case though nikeman, if a thread doesn't interest you, then why would you open it up? I never do.

Come on nikeman, the new trolling is actually posting something related to running.

The sight of a 5'4" bald, overweight, over-the-hill runt floundering up and down the streets of Columbus must be pretty special.

OSU knocked off the rust and still survived. That is all that matters (just ask OU). USC beat up on a high school team. I don't see OSU beating the Trojans (even though a true frosh at QB gives them their best chance in an era), but they will come to play. They'd better.

OSU played a perfect scheme defensively. Very solid. I hope these two meet again in the Rose (but not the national championship, because I don't think either of them is good enough to play that game). However, USC is very young and OSU is on an upward trajectory. Anything's possible. I didn't see Ok. St. losing to Houston either.

Agreed. OSU played great on one side of the ball - lousy on the other. Tressel, for all of his accolades, needs to throw more knockout punches when he has a team on the ropes. Go for it on 4th and goal from the one. Kick the 53 yd field goal instead of punting. Throw in a fake. Run a reverse. Play to win, not to avoid losing. Just like in the Texas game last year (and in '06 at home), OSU had a team beat and let them hang around. I'm all for conservative, make no mistakes football, but you gotta go for the kill when you get the chance. Carroll does, and did last night. Good game USC. Good game Bucks - way to finally show up in a big game.
