Let me say that as an LSU Tiger fan I take no pleasure in seeing you guys get a beating like that… I think that there are two things that need to be addressed up there. 1) Ego. Both coach “T” and fans talk about National Championships a lot. Let that be a media thing and stop worrying about who is 1…2….3….and so on. You guys have a program with a loyal fan base, and a rich and storied history. Unfortunately, for 60 minutes between the stripes…it means less than nothing to the 18 to 22 year olds that are in the fight. They have no idea who Woody Hayes is…Robert Smith is just a guy that talks about them on ESPN….and know nothing about college footballs only two time Heisman winner. No one is given respect in this game. Like any coach in america would say…”you have to earn it day in and day out”. I dont care if you have 50 Seniors returning. From an outsider looking in…….I think the coaches, players, and fans….have lost the edge that I saw during that Miami beat down in 2003. 2) Speed. I know that every program thinks that they have speed. But weather conditions alone dictate that you guys arent “flat out running” year around like the reigons that have the “elites” that some of you guys mentioned above (FLA, LA, CA, TX). Stop defending it…and accept it. Yes, speed is everywhere, and Joey Galloway is from Bellaire (an amazingly fast…STILL). But when you are facing “40 Joey Galloways” (especially the difference between “southern big man speed” and your O-Line speed and agility) when you play a USC…LSU…Florida…..you can see an obvious difference. You guys have the ability to recruit ANY athlete from ANY region. Lock in the Ted Ginn’s (even though his speed is from his Louisiana fathers genes :-) in to Ohio….just do a better job with the Santonio Holmes’ (Florida). Keep fighting guys. Hopefully we will meet up again for another crystal football in the near future. Good luck this week vs. Troy P.S. Joe Bruin...Pac Man Jones went to West Virginia...not an SEC school.

As Smalls said, USC goes crazy before every game and with OSU everyone is quiet. I'm not sure how that is an insult to USC. USC came out fast and never looked back. I'd rather have my team be absolutely pumped. Maybe OSU’s problem came from their pre-game attitude. As Smalls said, USC goes crazy before every game and with OSU everyone is quiet.

We got completely owned Saturday night. The only thing I have to say to Tressel is that it's time to start Pryor. Is Terrelle going to have his bumps in the road? Of course. But we're only going to have to kid for 3 seasons and we ain't winning a national title this year. It's time to destroy and rebuild at the QB position. I finally came to the realization that Boeckman stinks after the Ohio game and the first half on Saturday night confirmed every doubt I had about Todd. He's an average QB at best. Let's start over and give the reigns to Pryor. Hell, I don’t blame LA Trojan for talking his smack. We got completely owned Saturday night.

At least Buckeyes admit when they stink (and we did) and acknowledge it when we get beat. Your day will come my friend and then will see who has the class.

To say that the difference would have been the same whether Pryor or Boeckman had played the majority of the game highlights your stupidity. It's not to say the result would have been different, but with Pryor in, the Buckeyes were at least moving the ball. Also, it's about 1% of the fanbase that's calling for Tressel's head. Most, correctly, are calling for changes in the coordinators. We do realize the good thing we have going, but appreciate you painting us all with such a broad brush. Douchebag.

You guys were talking massive trash, about how your LBs and CBs were superior, and how you were gonna stomp on us here in LA. Please remember, that if your RB is out and you chalk up the loss to him not playing or say its not fair b/c he wasn't playing, how good really is your team? We could've had any one of our players injured and someone else would've stepped in. I think you guys need more depth. You need sharper WRs because our corners always suck and we were manhandling your WRs. And definately put in Pryor. You guys didnt' look fierce at all. Thanks for coming! Man oh man, what a whoopin.
