While watching the Ohio State/Notre Dame game, I heard this story from the commentators. I've never been more proud of my Buckeyes.

[LisaMalia]

Football is just a game. Ohio State is just a team. In the last several years, we've seen the best and worst of Ohio State. Clarett was the worst.

But this is a story that I thought should get some attention. Thanks.

[flutters]

I watched that too, Lisa. It was great. I thought there would be a live thread for this game.

Go Bucks!

[Bruce Kurtz]

Go Buckeyes and Big Ten (especially PSU)

[maestro]

Amen!!!

............." GO BUCKS "........

I started one but no one was into it.

By the way, see the Halftime time show where the LT just back from Iraq proposed to his girlfriend in front of a national audience?

[irish guard]

That proposal was nice.....

I'm dyin here.....down by 14 and no pass rush....any QB will look good if that happens.

[Ohioan from Florida]

Just saw that! She was shaking in her boots!!

[Ohioan from Florida]

God bless Pat Tillman and God bless the Buckeyes!!

[flutters]

No, I didn't see it. I bet they will show parts of it on the news. I'm using halftime to catch up on FReep news.

[misterrob]

Talk about taking a chance.

Funny thing is, no one ever says no.

Best of luck for them

[LisaMalia]

I will be rooting for Penn St.!!!!!

[Ohioan from Florida]

Wouldn't it be awful for someone to say no on camera? But wow!! On national TV!! They were a cute couple. I wish them well.

[Ohioan from Florida]

Same here! I hope Penn State blisters the Noles!! (Can you tell I'm a Gator?)

[RVN Airplane Driver]

Just saw that! She was shaking in her boots!!

Reckon it had anything to do with her thinking that perhaps soon...no more BJ's!!

[misterrob]

She would have been booed out of the stadium for doing that. Most men don't ask before knowing the answer though.

[misterrob]

Noles have a good defense but they suck on offense.

[Ohioan from Florida]

Well, I would say differently...I think they just ****. It has nothing to do with their abilities. I can never root for them...EVER!!

[Ohioan from Florida]

Really?!! You think that was even a remote thought in her head?!!

[HuntsvilleTxVeteran]

(Noles have a good defense but they suck on offense.)

So they will only score 30 points on offense.:)

[misterrob]

Hardly. They are seriously fast on the field but athletes are not always football players. Also, their O line was decimated by injuries but they have not had a good QB in years.

[mylife]

You had to love the halftime proposal too

[Lacroix]

I heard something about Clarett on the news today regarding an armed robbery. I am not surprised.

Fortunately, the Big Ten saved its best for last. Wisconsin and Barry Alvarez took #7 Auburn downtown. Joe Pa will do his part to make us all proud. Ohio State is cleaning ND's clock. ND just scored and missed the PAT. 21-13 OSU on top.

[Recovering_Democrat]

Saluting Pat Tillman is a great thing to do...unlike what the left wing jackass Ted Rall did to Pat. Rall's an idiot, but the left must love him.

[canalabamian]

Growing hair longer: Nice tribute. Better tribute? Enlisting.

[Ohioan from Florida]

That really is disgusting!!

[Ohioan from Florida]

What a turn of events on that non-fumble!!

[misterrob]

I'm just surprised that someone hasn't thrown Rall a blanket party yet

[Lacroix]

Thank you instant replay. That fumble wasn't even close. He never had possession.

[quantim]

The play-by-play announcer sounds like John Kerry, arrgh! What a drone. How I miss Keith Jackson and Brent Musburger from ABC in the big games featuring Big Ten teams.

[Lacroix]

Brent Musburger is doing the broadcast.

[Ohioan from Florida]

Brent Musburger is doing play-by-play.

[Ohioan from Florida]

You beat me!

That instant replay may have saved the game for the Buckeyes. All the momentum was swinging with the Irish at that point.

[quantim]

Brent Musburger is doing the broadcast.

I see/hear that now forgive me, just clicked to the game and posted in haste.

Brent must be coming off an awful flu, no spark, no enthusiasm, and his voice pitch still sounds like Kerry.

As long as ND gets plugged is all that matters.

[Ohioan from Florida]

Woo hoo! Shades of the Michigan game!!

[Ohioan from Florida]

PS - You're forgiven. I make dumb mistakes plenty of times myself.

[Lacroix]

The Big 10 is coming back. UW wins, OSU wins and Joe Pa is going to win.

[RedBloodedAmerican]

Well I never thought I would root for Ohio State but Miami and whoever is playing ND are my two favorite teams. OS just wiped up the turf with the Irish. Now we wait and see if Mary will turn pro next year or stay in the NCAA. Notre Dame= most overrated football team, year after year, ever.

[Accygirl]

The only time I ever root for Big Ten teams other than the Illini is when they play Notre Dame.

[Ohioan from Florida]

Mary? I'm missing something.

[Ohioan from Florida]

Go Big 10!!

[mt. shavano]

Wow!! That is quite an impressive feat. Imagine...avoiding the barber for a few months. What sacrifice, what dedication, what nonesense.

[libs_kma]

Thats the beauty of our military and also what makes it as great as it is.

Everyone in uniform makes a decision and decides that's what they want.

I made the decision to join and I don't regret it for a second. I don't hold it against anyone who decides not to join, because I'll be the first to admit that it's not for everyone.

Those OSU linebackers that want to grow their hair in tribute to Pat Tillman? God Bless em.

[johnandrhonda]

Since the Buckeye team members could not have known they would be going to Arizona at the time they started to grow their hair, so the story about having done so to honor Tillman, who played for AZ, is not true. They grew it as a vow to beat Michigan. They may well have left it long to honor Tillman, but they did not grow it long for him.

[GraniteStateConservative]

In the last several years, we've seen the best and worst of Ohio State. Clarett was the worst.

[Monday Night Football intro music. Cue player intros.]

Maurice Clarett... THE Ohio State Penitentiary.

I heard this today and thought it was funny. I looked for a thread to put it on. (I like OSU, for the record-- Mike Vrabel '96.)

Cheers.

[rdb3]

He's a few braincells away from a complete brain. So, Moe, see ya! And I wouldn't want to be ya!

Dittohead, Snow Flake, and Bushbot, so what of it?

[GraniteStateConservative]

He's a few braincells away from a complete brain.

Maybe I am, too. I screwed it up some. Take 2:

Maurice Clarett... Halfback... THE Ohio State Penitentiary.
