Sitting around watching the game tonight? Join in here with game thoughts. I said last night that I thought this set up very nicely for LSU, but both Orson and SMQ see it differently. I will say that my confidence in the LSU offense makes me pause in picking them in this game, but I wonder even more about OSU's offense.
I guess we'll see. Here's to hoping the game is more entertaining than Fox's broadcast is sure to be lame.

56-17, LSU
I'm sticking by my original prediction.

I went with
27-21 Swampcats on my BowlMania entry, so I'll stick with that.

Fox is clueless when it comes to CFB
though it is interesting seeing Urban Meyer weigh in.
Who the hell was that singing the national anthem?

Thank God there is no Petros...
Go Buckeyes...I can't believe I just wrote that.

WOW!!

Beanie Wells explodes
This was the scenario SMQ was calling for.
by Peter Bean on Jan 7, 2008 7:28 PM CST reply actions 0 recs
Yep, that Big 11
lack of speed is going to be a problem playing against the SEC.
by horndude on Jan 7, 2008 7:28 PM CST reply actions 0 recs
this next series...
will really tell a lot.
by Paragon SC on Jan 7, 2008 7:35 PM CST reply actions 0 recs
Hey SC fan
Do you think there's any scenario where USC/Georgia gets any first place votes after this game?
by goingforthecorner on Jan 7, 2008 7:41 PM CST up reply actions 0 recs
they better not
as I said here
by Paragon SC on Jan 7, 2008 9:21 PM CST up reply actions 0 recs
Oh my
this could be a long night on the bayou...

LSU D
Overpursuing on nearly every play right now. Need to settle down a bit.
by Peter Bean on Jan 7, 2008 7:40 PM CST reply actions 0 recs
agreed
maybe just a little too worked up right now.

Notice they haven't shown Les Miles
I'll bet he looks cartoonish, with steam coming out of his ears.
by chief on Jan 7, 2008 7:46 PM CST reply actions 0 recs
i laughed out loud
or as the kids are saying, "lawl"
by the other Andrew on Jan 7, 2008 7:47 PM CST up reply actions 0 recs
Game scenarios like this
with one team jumping out indicates good preparation, but if tOSU can't score big, then it becomes a heavy weight fight.
They'll settle down now.

running back stable
LSU having all those backs is impressive. Reminds me of our team when we had JC, Ramonce, and Selvin. Man, I'd be happy if we had ONE good back next year.
Anybody know what happened to Ramonce anyways?
by hornshoops on Jan 7, 2008 7:54 PM CST reply actions 0 recs
Didn't he go to Texans camp and get cut?
Or am I just making shit up again?
by chief on Jan 7, 2008 8:00 PM CST up reply actions 0 recs
No this time, chief.
Wiki backs you up as far as Ramonce not being picked up.
This falls under the "Crying shame" category. He really blew his future.
by whills on Jan 7, 2008 8:13 PM CST up reply actions 0 recs
You're right about that.
They're not even close in most instances and aren't tacklin' worth beans.
by whills on Jan 7, 2008 8:24 PM CST up reply actions 0 recs
true, but...
at least he's not in jail like Maurice Clarett. What could have been for both of them...
by hornshoops on Jan 7, 2008 8:21 PM CST reply actions 0 recs
I just
found out that jermichael finley said he was going pro. when did he announce that?
by Hook'em13 on Jan 7, 2008 8:23 PM CST reply actions 0 recs
LSU is showing good driving ability.
6-8 on third down, have slipped out of a lot of 2nd and 10.
Nice pass on third down. Wow.
by whills on Jan 7, 2008 8:31 PM CST reply actions 0 recs
You get the feeling
Ohio State needs points on this drive
by Peter Bean on Jan 7, 2008 8:34 PM CST reply actions 0 recs
Buckeye fans...
DUCK. Things are getting ugly fast. They need hold LSU to a FG here.
by Peter Bean on Jan 7, 2008 8:37 PM CST reply actions 0 recs
They fixed that pass defense
with better pressure.
Tressel just gave a funny head shake - but right now LSU is hard to shake off.
by whills on Jan 7, 2008 8:41 PM CST up reply actions 0 recs
osu came out hot
but lsu is starting to runaway with this one. its going to start getting ugly for the buckeyes.
by kcc28 on Jan 7, 2008 8:40 PM CST reply actions 0 recs
LSU needs to be careful
Not to overblitz here.
by Peter Bean on Jan 7, 2008 8:48 PM CST reply actions 0 recs
Go for the kill?
If you're LSU? I say yes.
by Peter Bean on Jan 7, 2008 8:51 PM CST reply actions 0 recs
So, what do T man have hidden under his sweater
for the second half?
by whills on Jan 7, 2008 8:54 PM CST up reply actions 0 recs
I'm stuck at work...
did Perriloux do anything useful?
by hornbone on Jan 7, 2008 8:57 PM CST reply actions 0 recs
He pitched the ball once on an option
and almost lost the ball doing it.
by Wells on Jan 7, 2008 9:00 PM CST up reply actions 0 recs
heh
I wonder if he's going to win multiple Heismans next year.
by hornbone on Jan 7, 2008 9:02 PM CST up reply actions 0 recs
I dont know
I think Clausen claimed them for the next couple of years.
by Wells on Jan 7, 2008 9:05 PM CST up reply actions 0 recs
The ESPN/Notre Dame/Heisman...
presented by ABC

College Commercials
Maybe I'm biased but after watching all of the college commercials this bowl season, I still think we have the best. Nothing beats, "What starts here, changes the world."
by afaeguy on Jan 7, 2008 9:13 PM CST reply actions 0 recs
LOL
that guy just pulled a Killebrew

holy moses
Thom Brennaman is annoying
by hornshoops on Jan 7, 2008 9:36 PM CST reply actions 0 recs
This isn't as bad
as the Georgia/Hawaii game when those guys for whatever reason were sucking Hawaii's balls all game long while they were getting their asses kicked.
by goingforthecorner on Jan 7, 2008 9:46 PM CST up reply actions 0 recs
Does anyone
Give a shit what Charles Davis' thought process is?
by BON Addict on Jan 7, 2008 9:55 PM CST up reply actions 0 recs
It's the same two announcers as UGA/Hawaii
So bad.
by Peter Bean on Jan 7, 2008 9:56 PM CST up reply actions 0 recs
Yes, but...
"You see how he's gripping his hands together...Can you grip that other hand? Can you grip that hand..on the other side, can you grip it?"
Thanks Charles.
by BON Addict on Jan 7, 2008 9:48 PM CST up reply actions 0 recs
And when you think about it
If LSU hadn't scored those 4 touchdowns, Ohio State would be winning.
by BON Addict on Jan 7, 2008 10:06 PM CST up reply actions 0 recs
Could Texas in the Holiday Bowl
beat this LSU team in a hypothetical MNC?
After seeing Wells break one early in the game, I'd like to see what Charles could do.
I would just love to see our defense pound Perilloux the way they beat up Carpenter.

Jesus Christ
That OSU QB got absolutely FACE RAPED on that 4th down play.
by goingforthecorner on Jan 7, 2008 10:16 PM CST reply actions 0 recs
What's worse? Broadcast or bad 1st half calls?
Those morons in the broadcast booth are so annoying and literally ignorant. But some questionable personal foul calls in the first half really gave a momentum edge to LSU in my opinion. I honestly believe the powers that be want a "feel good" win for Katrinaland. I hope tOSU can pull this one out. I have never liked LSU's attitude.
by bfaut86 on Jan 7, 2008 10:27 PM CST reply actions 0 recs
you know its bad when
they are making cartoon references.
god these guys suck. the remote is now my friend as turn this off and hit the hay.
Nice theaed PB, thanks
by Paragon SC on Jan 7, 2008 10:34 PM CST up reply actions 0 recs
every once in a while
the pundits get it right. OSU just can't hang as predicted by most. I feel bad for the OSU kids who got their motivation from Sweater Vest's DVD with clips of all the ESPN guys saying they didn't deserve to be there...and then they went out an laid an egg.
Will the Big 10 ever wise up and realize that a six week break between games is a really bad idea? Will they ever add another team and get a championship game? Until then, they will remain a joke.
by hornshoops on Jan 7, 2008 10:38 PM CST reply actions 0 recs
Even worse
http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/22543610/
BCS officials are considering a +1 system, yet the Big 10 and Big 12 commissioners are against it because they're worried about the fucking Rose Bowl attraction.
by goingforthecorner on Jan 7, 2008 10:45 PM CST up reply actions 0 recs
Big 10 and Pac 10
are against it.
Big 12 is for it.

Forgettable National Champ
People need to stop hating on Ohio State. It wasn't because they were slower than LSU. Did you guys see that Beanie Wells' run? LSU was just more talented and more physical not faster. Ohio State was just not good enough and physically talented enough. Their recievers could not get open.
The two players that stuck out for me were Chris "Beanie" Wells and Malcom Jenkins. I thought they were the best players on the field.
Congratulations to LSU for winning a truly mythical national championship.
