I need to vent.

Has anyone seen this goddamn Vizio commercial where LaDanian Tomlinson and the Vizio AAU squad is tearing apart a team with dark blue jerseys and white helmets? It is ridiculous and offensive and very preachy about poor tackling fundamentals which everyone knows we are solid on. And a huge stud linebacker WITH THE NUMBER THIRTY ONE absolutely whiffing on game-deciding goal line stand? All I’ve learned from this commercial is that Vizio employs a ton of bitter Ohio State fans.

I hope we tear apart Michigan State.

If you are worried about the words “Ohio State” showing up next to “Penn State” on some Wikipedia page, you’re missing the point. No rational Ohio State fan thinks they have a better team than us this year. This has been a very disappointing autumn in Columbus, and there is a real chance they are going to completely whiff on the BCS.

There’s a simple way to look at this. If you need only to win your game to smell roses, you’re the conference champ. If you need to win your game AND watch the scoreboard in order to smell roses, you’re NOT the conference champ.

Any Buckeye fan that buys “2008 B10 Championship” memorabilia is a complete joke.

Here’s my pregame update.

Spent the morning waiting at the furniture warehouse while they dug out the pub table and bar stools I ordered for my game room. Just have to get my stain glass pool table lamp mounted, a 42" LCD HDTV, a black leather Lay-Z-Boy, the Neon Yeungling sign, and the Yuengling Dogs sitting at the bar painting and I’ll be set.

I see Michigan is stinking it up, so I’m watching the beginning of the ND-Syracuse game until kickoff. First two possessions the Syracuse defense totally owned JIMMAH. If they don’t get it turned around it’s going to be a long day for Charlie.

I was worried there

1st and goal at the 10 is usually death for us. I wish Norwood would have run to the sideline. Probably would have scored instead of letting the safety catch him. Worked out though on a nice play by DC. Nice rollout and throw. That’s the old Daryll.

What was up with the run up the gut on 2nd and goal at the 10?

by BSD on Nov 22, 2008 3:52 PM EST reply actions   0 recs

Zug will be a great possession receiver over the middle, Powell will be the DWill all purpose type receiver and Brett Brackett will give the height, i think the receivers will be solid!!
