Is Roy Hall to blame? No.

He is just a college athlete, great team player if I might add, who got excited over a huge play in a championship game. How would you react?

I love Ohio State and always will, even when they do play extremely flat.

Woot Go Bucks in ’07!

I am not trying to propel this myth, as I cannot personally vouch for Tressel’s actions, it just seems realistic as the game plan was very suspect for Jim Tressel.

Troy was a hell of a signal-caller, but he is no coach yet.

While all of this contributed to the loss, I still see the biggest factor that Florida played well that night, which is to be expected, because Florida was a good team.

Interesting.

Thanks, Roy, for ruining the championship game for us. Did you kick Greg Oden in the knees after one of his dunks also?

i’m saying his speed just gives him a presence, and the defense better know where he is

^ Not true, I’m not saying that ted ginn could have made OSU win, but i think he could’ve made the game a whole lot closer..

he opens things up for the offense in many, many ways..

for an example, look at ohio state’s basketball team, when you have Greg Oden playing, his presence just opens up the offense for open shots, and it scares the other team to go inside..

In football, with ginn on the field, he’s our deep threat (IMO gonzales isn’t great on deep routes) it would take pressure off of troy, and it would open up things for other recievers…

It would have been a different game, BUT it doesn’t matter, i give props to florida for outplaying ohio state..

Now lets go OSU’s bball team, win a national tite

Also, if you watched the Rose and Title bowls, you know that OSU and UM just played flat. Not representative of how they played the rest of the season. Especially in OSU’s case.

As we wrote months ago, it’s clear that both OSU and UM considered their own matchup to be the “true” title game. Nothing left in the tank for postseason. No hunger, no desire. USC and Fla deserved those wins for that reason alone.

But that doesn’t mean that mediocre Boise St should get more respect than it deserves. Boise is a fine team, but not elite. Undefeated has nothing to do with it, as long as they’re filling their schedule with the likes of Joe Bob’s University & Mountain Man Pancake House. Play in a real conference, against tough teams that have similar quality and depth as you, and then we’ll see if you can make it to the title game. Playing a glorified high-school schedule, then taking a mediocre Oklahoma team into overtime after two months of preparation does not equal “the big time.” Doesn’t mean that they could have competed against Fla, OSU, USC, or UM. In fact, Boise probably would have been humiliated even worse than OSU had they played Fla.
