OSU let me down again

Well folks, so much for the power of the Big Ten. The Ohio State University dropped the ball yesterday. The jumped all over LSU, led the game 10-0 and looked dominant. Then they imploded, they folded like a cheap shirt, watching them play was like watching ..... a, a, ... one of those nature shows where the cute, furry, infant mammal is about ready to be hawk. You just hope it is over quick.

What is really sad about the situation is that is seems that OSU beat itself mostly. After the VERY ticky-tack out-of-bounds personal foul on OSU, during LSU's first scoring drive, the OSU coaching staff should have talked to their players about officiating. There were two more drives that were sustained by personal fouls, both resulting touchdowns.

What really stings is that the critics now have more ammo about the Big Ten. Only Purdue, Penn State, and Michigan won their bowl games. Really, Michigan was the only quality win, Purdue's barely getting by Central Michigan was a joke, and Penn State beating the head coach less Aggies didn't do much for me either. Of the losses, really, only Wisconsin's seems respectable - they battled for 60 minutes and lost on an interception in the end zone.

Well, there's always next year, and with Rich Rodriquez at Michigan starting next year, things ought to be interesting for the Big Ten. Plus, rumors have it that Purdue is starting to search for the heir apparent for Coach Tiller, so we could be getting new blood at Purdue.

Later,
