Official Game Thread: Championship Game Oregon vs Ohio State. 8:30 PM

[TrueOrange]

Ohio St. is proving the Boise effect.

Play 1 quality regular season opponent that you get up for and 1 bowl game. 2 good opponents.

In the case of Ohio State, their 2 good opponents were saved for the end of the season and they play in a BCS conference so it got them here, even if their conference is horrible.

I don't believe either could get this far if they played 6 of the "top 25" every year. jmo

I don't like Ohio State, but they played and beat 3 ranked teams (among them a #8 that finished 11-2 and a #18 that finished 11-3)

We saw what Michigan State did to Baylor, right? Ohio State slapped them around.

And they then proceeded to beat a top-ranked 12-1 Alabama that had bullied almost everyone.

I guess you're right in that they didn't play 6 top 25 teams. But they played 5...I really hate to admit it, but they're good this year.

Still shouldn't have been in final 4. I remember plenty of times I thought we could beat anybody. But after losing to Florida we didn't deserve to play for it.

Solid logic here

 

[TrueOrange]

They rolled Michigan State, Alabama and Oregon. Like it or not they have proven they deserve to be here.

Pretty much.

Luke fickel is a doormat. Urban never respected him and just kept him on staff to placate the admin

I don't believe he has that much responsibility as his title entails

 

[catchnburn]

Take a knee. What an a**

That doesn't...really...help your argument...or really make an argument either.

 

[HoptownVol]

Ohio State's fans are going to be unmerciful. God I hate those guys, but you got to respect Urban. Unbelievable rebuilding job in 3 years.

 

[Sandvol]

The classy thing would have been to take a knee.

 

[UT_Dutchman]

Urban Meyer is such a **********

I bet him and fowler share a room tonight.

 

[bowlinggreenvol]

Why? Put the game away here... Don't blame him

Put it away? You're up 15 with a 1:30 left. It's a dick move and furthers Urban's legend as a POS.

 

[ToptheTerrible]

Total destruction. No disputes. OSU reigns supreme this year. On to signing day....

 

[golfballs]

Careful urban. Think of your health

 

[DD4ME]

OSU owned Oregon like they did Alabama.

Superior coaching, play calling, and athleticism even with the turnovers. They deserve the title and recognition.

Even trying to give the game away to Oregon with all those turnovers still Oregon could do nothing with them.

 

[golfballs]

Wtf are they talking about

I don't chance it..... Now I think he should have taken a knee on that last play

Don't worry. In a couple of years Hurban will have a nervous breakdown.

 

[TrueOrange]

So..... anyone that thought that helmet on Tyners knee was a good tackle. That's what Oregon should have done to Elliott.

Hooray for intentionally injuring players when a team can't beat someone!

 

[DeepSpringsVol]

Urban is classless. But I retracted my equally classless post. I apologize.

 

[BearCat204]

Hooray for intentionally injuring players when a team can't beat someone!

And he calls someone classless.... Lol

 

[golfballs]

Celebrations all over the world?? Really, Chris??

 

[turdherder11]

Gotta give it to Meyer. Guy is a winner. Gets it done in 2 years again. The best coach in college football. I hate saying that but I'm realistic. Tough winning a championship within 2 years at uf and does it again at osu.

 

[TrueOrange]

And he'll advertise that he's putting you on ignore lol

There's an active count, too.

 

[Dave1967]

Man crush?

No giving him deserved credit

 

[VolsSportsFan]

Urban is classless. Same as 07 beating Fulmer 59-20. Why couldn't Aarron Hernandez been upset at his coach.

Um, what?

Their fanbase is enormous...
