(11,162 posts)ranked #2 vs #1 against the current National Champions. Disappointed in Sark's play calling. He normally is very good at getting the most out of young QBs.
Manning did not have a good day. A lot of hype because of his legacy - he will get better.
OSU looked very good. Great defense, excellent QB play. They were hitting on all cylinders. Great coaching staff.

(114,697 posts)-and the first of the season? And with all the expectations that his family legacy piles on him?
Good heavens... So, in his defense, I will just (once again) point out how damned pretentious is THE Ohio State University and how much I enjoy it when Oklahoma State University fans point out that THEY are the actual OSU and thus the reason for a ridiculous trademark by their northern opponent. I have no real "dawg" in that particular fight, but I do find it funny. :evilgriin:
But, yeah... THE (eyeroll) OSU did have a great defensive game with a sufficient offense to get the win. Certainly no demolition job on Texas, but a win nonetheless.

(114,697 posts)Sorry. It is ridiculous, but I will refrain from continually pointing it out over the season. I know it is a sensitive subject for THE© OSU fans. So, good luck (but not TOO much luck over the season).

Real confidence is based on actual success.
No need to steal it from someone else.

Sorry, Irish Dem. You won't win that argument when they actually COPYRIGHTED the "THE"... Good gawd. And "Oklahoma" prentious? Good heavens. That dawg won't hunt, either.
But, THE OHIO STATE UNIVERSITY played well. You can be happy with that.

(I am a Buckeye fan, and I am not gloating about this kid. He played a fair game, didn't cheat or play dirty like Michigan or some of the southern teams.)

(2,132 posts)play in the game today? All I ever heard was Manning, Manning for the Heisman, Manning this, and Manning that by all the talking heads before, during, and after the game ad nauseam. Decent athlete with a historic pedigree but both way over hyped and obscenely compensated.
