So far so good for my Buckeyes!

This is gonna be a really good game, if the Ducks were playing anyone else, I’d be rooting for them.

ESPN is a commie outfit. Proof? They fired Rush Limbaugh and constantly mocked Tim Tebow.

As of halftime, it seems like a very light stomping so far.

Same here. If it ain’t on Netflix, don’t see it. Don’t care.

So far second half 10 points on turnovers. BUT, I think we may be seeing the blossoming of another Jameis Winston or Cam Newton. Cardale Jones is an amazing athlete and can zing the pigskin.

You may now acknowledge that your Ducks, who bragged about how they wear the opponents' defenses down, are now waddling off the field with their dicks dragging in the dirt. Likewise the chicken turds of the SEC who got to sit home in their trailers, eat moon pies, and watch.

Ok - despite like 4 turnovers - that was a stomping of the ducks by OSU and I’m not a fan - rooted for them as they’re big ten and I’m a midwest guy, but I’m a Hoosier.

Looking back at all the bowels and the playoffs and everything I think the only one of the top 4 that really was overrated was FSU - that should have been TCUs spot. Outside of that - I think they underrated OSU and overrated Oregon and FSU. FSU by far.

Either way - OSU is the Champion after winning the Big Ten and 2 playoff games in a stomping with a 3rd string quarterback. If that isn’t a great sports story I don’t know what is.

They were not 'my ducks'. I am a Crimson Tide fan , dyed in the wool. But I can see how a small mind like yours must misstate things in order to feed your sarcasm needs.

Cardale Jones revealed that he is cut from a similar mold as Cam Newton and Jameis Winston. Lets hope the young man does not suffer the same moral failings. He is a tremendous athlete and can zing a football to any length of the filed. Urbanm has himself a true quarterback force to be reckoned with. And lastly, OU fans had better hope Urban has the good sense to not hire Lane Kiffin.

Congratulations to THE Ohio State University Football National Champions.

I am not defending Kiffin, I am a USC fan and was glad to see him go and correctly predicted his firing (though I thought he would last the season, that was until the ASU debacle). But damn, 'Bama was 12-2.

Calling that 'ruinous chaos' is hyperbole. If the Tide falls to 8-6, your point will increase in validity.

To a true Tide fan the game plan and continued use of a faulty plan (as with the OU game in the semis) is chaos in action. When Bama had the ball on the 24 of OU, every play should have been a running play until a score was made. Kiffin wanted to win ‘flashy’, to feed his ego and hype his ‘football brilliance’. There were several games during the year that this happened, one of which Bama lost to Ole Miss. It, the kiffin flash, happened to work against Auburn, but it was a win on greatest risk.
