Yes, & we were at that Orange Bowl. Last night, however, I didn't have to watch the debacle. Left the room when OSU took 21-0 lead & never returned; watched Christmas Vacation & Mormon Tabernacle Christmas on another t.v. Life's too short.Reminded me so much of the 1997 Orange bowl beat down we got from Nebraska. Eerily similar including score
Yup. Ohio State, in addition to the talent gap, has a much better all around coaching staff. Kelly vs Banks isn’t a recipe for success.Using sanctions as an excuse is BS. Our coaches need to get better at evaluating talent, recruiting it, and then developing it. More importantly, they need to get better at putting together game plans and making in-game adjustments.
The only good thing about this is it'll force us to make big changes. We can't go into next year thinking slight improvements will be enough. We better get serious about improving the talent on this roster cause it's obvious we're not close after what happened tonight.
I'd take getting there every year. Doubt that happens with what I'm seeing though. Going to be very hard being one of 3 or 4 teams when you're recruiting midpack SEC every year.. The coaching hasn't been the difference maker, so you better get the guys that are the difference makers..do you think Heupel, who was fired at OK, is gonna cut anyone. He has PTSD bout firing folks.
We are stuck at 9 wins, loosing the first round of the playoffs
One of the few voices of reasonI don't know, it reminded me of the first 2004 Auburn game where everything just went wrong for us and right for them. What if we got off the field instead of getting the face mask call? What if their receiver had dropped that long TD and how did that ball not hit our DB in the head instead of being caught on the play that set up their 2nd TD? Remember, we almost won the SEC Championship game against the same Auburn team later that year. Momentum is a powerful thing, especially at home. I turned it off at 21-0, and so did the team. I saw us maybe getting it together and keeping even, but even was still losing by 21, so there was no hope. They played great and got all the breaks while we got none. Sometimes you win or lose in the first quarter. I just don't think things are as doom and gloom as everybody seems to be thinking. Just a bad performance against a really good football team.
