Saban's hair plugs will be Bama's demise. Write that down.

I just pitched to the wife a trip to sugar bowl. She said she would consider it. I told her I would consider not divorcing her.

I am now drinking captain and sprites like a champ at Bar 145 in Grandview with my wife and kids. I am celebrating Ohio State and my alcoholism simultaneously.

I fully expect and hope Oregon puts 60+ on them.

Yenner I tried to watch online a few times - I either couldn't get it to work or was inundated with pop up ads and virus attacks.

This thead just got 57 times better that jive's team is the one we are playing. We may end up breaking the Internet.

Yup. Ohio State has a chance to exorcise a ton of demons with a win over Alabama. This is going to be a lot of fun, gentlemen.

Committee got it right. The storylines will be unreal.

Yup, I was pissed that catch didn't get reviewed. I think we didn't get the benefit of some those things because of how lopsided the score was. Still, though, the rules are the rules, and I thought it should have been reviewed. And I'm still miffed at the targeting/ejection call. He clearly led with his shoulder. BTW, if they eject our WR on that play, then they should have ejected Cardale too - he led with his shoulder, had some incidental head-to-head contact, and destroyed the man opposite him.

My couch has been soaking in kerosene throughout the night and is ready to go...

I cut the cable cord over the summer, so I don't have that luxury.

Okay, I think I'm headed to BW3's to watch the announcement live.

I think it's players like Bennett who do a lot to affect the game, but most people have so little idea that they do. He doesn't make many tackles, but he's disrupting the offense on so many plays in some fashion.

@ Dark Meyer Rises Actually, that fits fairly well. Enjoyed the Petrino appearance.

:thumbup:

LOL, no, haven't watched it. I guess I should say that his play on the field reminds me of some enforcer type guy.

First, <3 Bosa. I have so many man-crushes this year, Bosa being one of them. No homo. Well, kind of homo. Second, we had so many built-in excuses for last night: losing star QB to bad leg injury only a few days ago, having a third string QB make his first start in championship game, and the whole missing-star-found-dead-from-suicide thing. I think Meyer and his staff deserve an immense amount of credit for focusing these guys.

I envision Bennett kind of like being Suge Knight - like strong-arming people and holding Vanilla Ice over balconies.

Also, jive, how many beers can $100 buy? I'll hang up and listen.

Lost last night in the idiotic targeting/ejection of our WR was the blow that Cardale put on the DB trying to tackle him at the end of that run. He blasted that dude straight into the turf.

Just came across an interesting stat: The four most successful programs over the past three years: FSU 39-2 Alabama 36-4 Ohio State 36-3 Oregon 35-4

Zack, great breakdown - I completely agree with you. Brandon and Rob, agree with you guys as well. Good points all around. I said yesterday there was a 50/50 chance of Ohio State making it in with a win. Now, I'm at about 90 percent likelihood that they make it in. They just dropped the mic and walked off the stage, and the entire nation has responded with, "Like a boss." This was the best performance I have ever seen from Ohio State in my lifetime, and perhaps the great single game performance of any team at any time, considering the magnitude of the game, the stakes involved, the quality of the opponent, and the stage. I said that I thought Baylor winning would help Ohio State because it effectively keeps a "cap" on TCU. I think I was right in that assessment - and was helped by the in-fighting at Baylor/B12 that has ensued. Baylor knows they have a legitimate beef to be the champions of their conference and are letting everyone know about that. In turn, everyone has to be thinking, "How can TCU get in to the playoff when they aren't even the best team from their conference?" Some media are saying that the committee has a really tough choice. Actually, I think their job got easier last night with how things played out. If I am on the committee, this is my rationale for picking Ohio State over TCU and Baylor: - sorry TCU, you lost head-to-head to Baylor, so you can't get in over them - sorry Baylor, you didn't play in a championship game, so you can't get in over a team with a similar resume who did Those are undisputable facts, which, I think, is what the committee will want to use, as it makes it difficult to argue against them. Also, the committee will know that the general public sentiment supports their position, as the entire county saw with their own eyes the obliteration that Ohio State wreaked. Meaning, the committee doesn't have to site the "eyeball" test in naming Ohio State the most worthy of the three, but they know that's what everyone is thinking. Sure, TCU is going to cry foul, and so will Baylor. But someone is going to cry foul when all of this is said and done, whether it's TCU or Baylor or someone else. However, I think TCU and Baylor's whining will be the least convincing, if that makes sense. IMO, the committee's job would have been infinitely more difficult had Ohio State only won by like 2 TDs and didn't play all that well. Some other thoughts: - the QB situation is amazing. Everyone has to be thinking, "Well, apparently at Ohio State they back up Heisman contenders with other Heisman contenders." - kind of getting lost in this crazy season is how good Elliott is. He is really, really good. - I really like how little we had to use Jalin Marshall. If we can get into the playoff, then we can surprise teams with adding him to the mix opportunistically. - is Curtis Samuel as fast as what he appears to be? Christ, it seems like everyone on this team are track stars - and I fucking love it.

Don't fight it.

I don't see us making 2nd or 3rd seed.
