National Championship Game 2008

[Style]

We do this every other year, this being our 3rd in the last 6 years. At the Ohio State University, we play for titles.

Let's start this rolling with a look at where the Buckeyes ended up on the final stat sheet of the regular season compared too the other 118 teams in the nation:

· First in total defense

· First in scoring defense

· First in pass efficiency defense

· First in pass defense

· Third in rushing defense

· Third in sacks

· Sixth in tackles-for-loss

Highlights for offensive team stats?

· 20th in rushing offense

· 36th in scoring offense

· 14th in passing efficiency (!)

· Beanie was 11th in rushing yards per game

· Boeckman was 13th in passing efficiency

Do you do anything but agitate us? Who the f cares where he got it from.

 

[James]

not really, but copying and pasting from sites and passing it off as your own, which is what was clearly done here is wack.

I think Style makes it pretty clear where he gets his info from.

Do you think the crowd will be mostly Buckeye fans again?

It's a home game basically for LSU, but nobody travels like Buckeyes fans....I think it will be more 50/50%, only for the simple fact it was the last day before we knew the Bucks were in...

 

[James]

Mostly Buckeye fans? Are you kidding me? Its in New Orleans and in the heart of the South where football is everything, and its 80 miles from Baton Rouge there will be buckeyes fans there, but the majority? ummm no, your gonna be in Cajun Land down there.

You missed a couple facts style

-OSU's Schedule was weak
-OSU got in by sitting...

 

[Cleveland56]

Football is everything in Ohio too. More so than LA. Much more....

 

[Cleveland56]

Not sure in Stadium what it will be like, but I guarantee there will be at least 50k outside the Dome partying...No doubt.

Its called not having bye weeks.

Its called not having bye weeks.

Yeah, the "sitting" argument is really ignorant. Half of the BCS conferences don't have championship games, so it's not even like the Big Ten is the minority, it's 50/50. The difference between an Ohio State and a West Virginia, as you say, is Ohio State didn't have all the weeks off in the middle of the year. We played 12 games, just like every one else outside of the three conference championship games.
