There seems to be a moping and moaning aura around the site about the way the season played out. So far we've had the following topics, threads, and ideas the past two weeks: 

• Buckeye fans root for chaos, cheer for: Florida, USC, Penn State and UNC (wtf, the last one is ok but really)
• Backdoor Buckeyes -- We prefer to go through the front destroying opposition in our path. EARN IT! 
• We deserve to be in over other teams because the Buckeyes woke up during their last game of the season. Nevermind the previous 11 games and the lost. 
• Fire Tim Beck: Agree
• Eze comments shouldn't have been uttered in public: Agree
• Michigan sucks: Yes they do... 
• We were a punt away from being in Indy -- Never depend on Michigan to do something for you (see the basketball game vs. Indiana for a share of the Big Ten title)
• There should be 8 teams in the playoff, bring back the BCS - - - Lol! 
• Ohio State deserves to be in the Rose Bowl over Iowa, even though the Buckeyes were on the couch watching the game and Iowa was there. (Lol, no!) 
• Alabama doesn't deserve to be in the playoffs because the SEC sucks and they played a down SEC this year. 
• Ohio State would destroy Iowa, now let us in the damn Rose Bowl. Love those hypotheticals 
• We don't wanna play Houston: we got our wish 
• Would could have been if we beat MSU, where was this offense: O, I agree and was sitting in the student section watching us get beat with Tressel ball 
• The season is a disappointment: Not meeting expectation set forth because this is Ohio State but there is a lot of good despite the bad this season. 
• Ohio State is losing a lot of talent; we are but we will reload... Fast forward, is it next season yet. 
• Conner Cook is a jerk: The dude said sorry, move on... 
• Michigan sucks! 

Granted everyone goes through grief and lives and dies with this team, venting is a part of disappointment. Taking it in strides, may be safe to guess everyone is at some point in the grief spectrum. 

Denial- I can't believe we lost to MSU, where was this buckeye team when we played them, they are winning our B1G, we had the better team, we could have beat them if it wasn't raining and we threw the ball

Anger- Direct all anger to Tim Beck and Michigan State punter... Heck, if Ole Miss beat Arkansas we wouldn't have to worry about Bama in the playoffs...

Bargaining: Let us in playoff committee, change the playoff structure, if not the playoffs then the Rose Bowl will do; insert other bargaining techniques

Depression: It sucks not watching Ohio State in the playoffs and seeing this wasted talent when we had the keys to one of the best teams. Its like 1998 all over again. Losing sucks...

Acceptance: There is always next year, lets go beat Notre Dame! 

This is a check-in [REDACTED] thread to relive a good season by the buckeyes. Not the way we wanted it to play out but to get away from the negative (ironic, it's all highlighted above) but to focus on the future. I for one am damn happy the buckeyes are back in Arizona playing in the fiesta bowl; plus one of the largest alumni chapters is proud to have us in their backyard. Our team will come out with heart, and Urbz will have this team ready to curb stomp those Irish chickens from St.Joseph County, IN. But let the negativity go. We had our chance to be in the spotlight and blew it. Ohio State gonna Ohio State and we'll be back next year but for now lets go destroy Notre Dame! 

Check-in [REDACTED] if you're happy to play Notre Dame!!!
