Eleven Warriors

vandenberg is going to be really, really, really good at some point. to do what he did in his first career start and in the Shoe is amazing. i honestly feel that if stanzi was the QB we win that game much more easily.

lost in all of the hand wringing about the playcalling (which was awful) is that the O-line played another terrific game against a very very good d-line, and we again rushed for a ton of yards, AND almost had two 100 yard rushers against a team that had only allowed one all season

Jim Tressel says,"BAH HUMBUG!!!!!!!!"

Tresselball for you!

I hope our next coach is named the "TRESSELBALL NAZI"

NO TRESSELBALL FOR YOU:)!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i do believe that you are literally 13 years old

or both! if you are from southeast ohio

OMG TRESSEL DID EVERYTHING HE COULD TO GIVE IT AWAY PUNTING AND WHATNOT AND CONSERVATIVE AND NOT CUTTHROAT WTF OMG HE NEEDS TO BE FIREZED!!!

(All caps is our Sarcasm font at WFNY. I highly recommend it.)

On a serious note, a Barkley ripped out hearts out in September and a Barclay saved it in November. I'm watching the highlights again where we we were salting the game away in the fourth Quarter and then DUMB DUMB DUMB DUMB

ATTACK OF THE KILLER TRESSELBALL!

O line was huge today.

I can't rag on Pryor or the O line anymore.

It all comes down to TRESSELBALL!

No doubt about that-

Lost in the drama was an awesome job by the O line.

If we ditch the vanilla zone defense in the Rose Bowl and finally attack

defenses and mix it up, I'll feel good about the 2010 season!

With that O line and the talent maturing 2010 is shaping up to be a special year.

We got out moral victory in the Fiesta Bowl last year.

NOW LET'S ABUSE TEAMS ALL YEAR AND BRING IT HOME IN 2010!

O.H...........................................

we clinch a rose bowl and you're the one asshole thathas negative remarks. fuck you sir.

and to everyone else.. PASADENA BITCHES!!!! WOOOOO!!!!!!!

Wow, Jim Tressel almost out Jim Tresseled Jim Tressel.

I'll be there be there, Pasadena.

seriously soutbay, keep in touch. I got the call minutes after the win. Buckeye Nation needs to take over So Cal, can laugh at USC fans. But not the ones with guns.

I thought the coaches called a great game. They rushed for over 200 yards behind that line. If its working, stick with it.

Woody is smiling down!!!

Hey thats uncalled for.

There was a 13-year-old in the chatroom today and he wasn't nearly this negative. Dont compare 13-year-olds to this guy. It's insulting to the 13ers.

no southbaybuckeye he's right and you suck as well is that you tresselsnuts?

the REAL hate week. suck it BSD

Not sure he loved the poor special teams play or the porous defense. We've got some work to do before next Saturday.

With one exception, that being special teams, Bucks played a hard fought well, coached and played game. It was one of those games they played good enough to win, but made enough mistakes to lose, but ended up winning because the other team flinched when playing chicken in overtime.
Here is my drunken two cents (or more):

Where do I start:

Coaching:
Tress You and the offensive coordinator called a great game for 3-3/4 of a game. The all of sudden you revert to extreme predictability and it almost cost you the game. You were losing one of the key aspects of Tressball all night, the special teams . The offense was what kept you in the game until you shut it down with poor play calling. You have to stop choking the offense when it matters the most. In this instance, stretching the Iowa defense was the key, it allowed the O-line to get angles and drive people off the ball.

Terrelle:
Overall, a solid game, there was some times you held on the ball, but not being able to see the whole field my guess is that you played solid. There was only one mistake that stood out in my mind and it was on a play where the offensive line gave up its only sack. It appeared that you had it in your mind you were going to drop back and then run as soon as you took the snap. You were taking what the defense was giving you all night and then you got impatient. It is something to work on.

Offensive Line:
Really a decent game, quite frankly then scheme to spread the Iowa defense out was critical; it allowed the OL can get angles to block effectively. I have only one call out, Ballard man up and stop letting DE’s torch you on the backside.

Defense:
There is only three knocks against you, but the first one was critical. You got very little pressure. However, when you mixed up the pre-snap look with post snap responsibility with a blitz you did very well. Iowa did make a play or two, for the most part it went well when Vandergeek was hurried. Another issue, safeties, I know the TE is a critical part of Iowa’s offense. But you cannot give up a play of 30 plus to cover a 10+ yard underneath throw. Your aggressiveness hurt. Finally, I can only say that when opportunities present its self, you have to make a play. Jumping off sides and letting an Int bounce to the Rcvr, not good.

Special Teams: (What almost cost us the game)
Punting – Thoma whoever told you to get more hang time on your punts need kicked in the nuts. You were dropping the ball too late and getting very little distance. When exchanging punts all day the Bucks lost field position.
Barkley-The bad was the missed field goal, the good was the made field goal in OT despite ULTRA conservative play calling.
Kickoff coverage was decent all day except you lost discipline on the one that went for a touchdown. As soon as the bobble occurred the lanes started to collapse, gaps in coverage started to appear, and toss in a couple miss tackles equals seven points for the other team.

Overall, like I said, it was a game you should have won, made enough mistakes to lose, but ended doing enough to win when it counted. It really was a well played game.

how do you know that? no you're resorting to letting your mouth write checks that your fists can't cash... on the internet. that's all i have to say about that.

I'll leave the choice to you, tough guy. I'm a local, I'll be there.

I want pitt to win,. but charlie to stay. I love to see ND lose.

Thank you Sir!

haha, i am not. i not a lakers or raiders fan either. i just love the intensity and the phrase. there was a guy at the championship parade last summer that had that tattoed on his chest.

I know of the people you speak of. The parade was very close to my office. worst. fans. ever.

You just threatened to throw down on another OSU fan in the parking lot of the Rose Bowl after he made a homophobic slur.

Yeah, you're a mouth breather. Fuck off.

Call it staying at home on a Saturday night drunken release of energy.

My view.... I hated that Tress had the ball with over 1 minute left in the 1st half and 2 time-outs an he decided to run the clock out being up 10-3..... why not throw some quick sideline passes (safe) and use the time-out to try and get in field goal range??? Clock management prior to the half has been a recurring theme.

Next, as I said after the USC game YOU HAVE A FREAKIN 6'6" QB WHO WEIGHS 240 POUNDS, WHY NOT LET HIM QB SNEAK ON 4TH AND LESS THAN 1 YD???? Nuff said about that. 2 int's in the same possesion that turned into zero int's! Never quite seen that one before either--that would have sealed it early. Up 14 and missed tackles lead to a TD on Kickoff--get to work coverage teams!

I did not like the soft Zone all game... no pressure at all! Did we get only 1 sack?? That is 2 Rookie QB's we have made look like Joe Montana in 1 season--why not get after him more during the game???????????

Oh well, what matters most is the trip to Pasadena and the Big-10 championship... a win is a win and we should all be happy. Great momentum at the end to leap into Michigan week---I have a feeling that good things are gonna happen next week and maybe Pryor can rest that ankle and feet for good after halftime next week. He needs to be 100% for the Rose Bowl.... Go Buckeyes!!!!!!!

Here we go with the "TRUE FAN" crap again.

I'm sure I'm the only "TRUE FAN" who is sick of TRESSELBALL.

Goodbye Southbaybuckeye. You bore me. I will not look you up in Pasendena.

I will have beers with "True Buckeye Fans" who will let me speak my mind!

Go Bucks.

Palm Beach:

Ditto: I started to have USC flash backs as well. Like you said the Bucks played very well and won.

Regardless, I hope the Bucks kick the shit out Michigan and go to the Rose Bowl in style.

I am getting a Stanford vibe for the Rosebowl.

read below. you said "true fan" first. Would it be awesome if we just blew everyone out by 3 scores? sure. I'll just take the win against a top 10 team and get on to the real hate week.

Our D was off balance for a large portion of the game because they weren't sure what was coming at them. We tend to telegraph our plays.

"Tress is fine, he needs to let TP open it up a little". HA! Where have you been all year? Really? No Shit.

I hope someone drafts that guy before he starts whupping up on the Big 10.

I was actually much more impressed with Vandenberg than I was with Barkley -- Barkley had a mediocre game and was held up by some of the best running backs in the country, while Vandenberg had to carry the team on his shoulders and did an admirable job of it. Vandenberg will be one to watch.

Anyone who is complaining about our offense last night just doesnt know what they are talking about. If you want to blame Someone then blame special teams and the defensive plan for not blitzing a bit more. We ran the ball very very well, it worked. We couldn't throw deep, iowas gameplan was setup to take away the deep ball. We didn't gain many more yards throwing the short routes. Pryor played a great game by not forcing the deep ball because it wasn't there.
