That was the true Big 12 Champ vs Big Ten #2
Florida is going to roll
Before the past 3 years misfortunes in bowl games they won 4 in a row...with three of them being BCS games, including a National Championship. They'll be back...you are just one of those jealous fans. I'm ok with Tressel's 82% winning percentage, obsess much?My point boys and girls is not based on tonight's game. What is their record the last 5 years?
Something to consider is that Ohio State had all the motivation in the world for this game because of the heat they take for lack of performance in big games. Texas felt like they should be playing on Thursday.
Yeah, seriously...you guys come up with all kinds of creative arguments to try and convince yourselves that anyone in the big 10 deserves nothing. Admit it, it was a great great game and Texas was lucky to win. Since when was motivation and hard nosed play an argument against a football teams prowess?? Wierd.Something to consider is that Ohio State had all the motivation in the world for this game because of the heat they take for lack of performance in big games.

They were inches from not making that 4th down...they were fortunate to win. I'm a standup guy though, so I tip my cap to them for making enough plays to win. All I'm saying is, give the Buckeyes their due...they're not a great team by any means, but they fought hard and just came up a bit short. How can you say they did not deserve to be in that game? If you're using past precedent, than you might as well say OU has no business being in the BCS championship game. And OSU has had just as much, if not more success in big games in the past decade than OU.....That was not luck.
So this is what you say when you are not intellectual enough to make a reasonable counterpoint? Mmm....I'm an ISU fan first, and Buckeye fan second, and proud of it.FickleClone - you can head back to the HN board now.
The problem with your arguments is that you fail to give credit where credit is due. The reason McGahee broke his leg is because of a great hit by lb Matt Wilhelm, and its not OSU's fault that the Miami cb had to cheat and pushoff to keep the OSU receiver from scoring. Alot of times opponents claim OSU is lucky because the opponent made mistakes allowing OSU to win....well they made mistakes because OSU forced the mistakes because they were the better team. The big 10 has been down recently, but that does not abolish all of their efforts. Be reasonable.The problem is they and the rest of their conference are routinely overrated and end up in a bowl they don't deserve. They were probably one Big televen loss away from a NC game even after being worked by USC. Take away a tOSU victory due to a bs PI call and the opponents best player breaking his leg and you are looking at a conference that has won half of a NC in forty years. I am not jealous, I rather enjoy their embarrassment. I just think it's too bad they deny deserving teams of the opportunity. If you think about it, the Big Televen is the flag ship of a Miles Brand NCAA.
When will the BCS figure out tOSU doesn't belong in a BSC bowl?
An Iowa State fan criticizing Ohio State's performance in big games?? That's classic! :biglaugh: I would kill for Iowa State to achieve the same level of "failure" that Ohio State's program has.My point boys and girls is not based on tonight's game. What is their record the last 5 years?
