Oh, my buckeyes...


Well i havent had power for awhile, which I will post about next, but wow, i must mention the Buckeyes football team. Yikes.
Okay look, let's be reasonable here. They are a heck of a good team. They have NFL talent at alot of positions, (obviously not starting QB, lol) but that doesnt make them good. Their offensive line is full of blue chippers, but they are garbage against decent competition. The defense had probably 4-5 1st round picks on it, but they arent thinkers. USC out thought them. Yes they are slow, but at the same time most defenses look slow vs. USC, dont they?

We learned that Pryor will be an awsome QB, but maybe not yet. He is exciting and will probably be a top 5 pick here in about 2 years, but we have yet to see him throw a 10 yard completion. But yes, a bad Pryor is just as good, if not better than a "good" Todd Beockman.

Honestly, I just wonder how top tier the Bucks are, or have been. They played 3 elite teams and lose by minimum 2 TD's each time. The refs were bad, but not 35-3 bad. If OSU played 2006 Florida 10 times, they would have lost 10 times. If they played 2007 LSU 10 times, they might win 3 of them. If they played 2008 USC 10 times, if might get worse every time they played. They can and will dominate the big 10, but then again, how much is that worth anymore? I love my Buckeyes, and once Terrelle Pryor starts, Beanie gets back, and they start playing the freshman wide-outs (Posey, Thomas) the offense will do a 180 in the right direction, but please, NCAA/BCS, dont let them play in the National Championship this year. They will probably win out, go 11-1, and win convincingly, and buckeyes fans will complain saying that they are a vastly improved team, and are by far the best 1 loss team, but please, ignore us and just put anyone from the Big 12 or the SEC over the Bucks. Allow us to kick the crap out of Notre Dame or East Carolina in the Rose Bowl or the Sugar Bowl, but leave us off the big stage. We will only embarrass ourselves yet again.

Next year OSU plays USC at home, and well, it could either be redemption or a repeat of this year. Just look at this, USC will return 10 starters on offense and several player on defense, and OSU will graduate 27 seniors, plus losing Beanie Wells to the NFL via going out early. Chances are, the Bucks will lose by more next year than this year. Sucks, but true. I still love them and will root for them no matter what, but lets be realistic, some programs are vastly better.
