So I am given to understand that Ginn injured his foot during his end-zone dance?!? And then missed the whole rest of the National Championship game as a result?!? Now I've heard everything!

My question is, what was the injury? The guy ran back out on the field from the locker room and there was barely a hint of a limp. Geez, in a national title game, you get your ass out there and play.

Regarding the end-zone dance, numb-nuts Adrian Peterson from Oklahoma broke his collarbone earlier this year clowning unnecessarily into the end zone, and then his first game back (against Boise State), very nearly did the same thing when he scored. But hey, we be cool, doing our thing.

Isn't THAT UNBELIEVEABLE!!!!!!!!
If you listened to the FOX telecast, all they kept saying was that Ginn was injured in their first offensive series, not during or after the TD play.
Then I pick up the paper this morning to find out that Roy Hall fell on his foot DURING the celebration.

Having 24 hours to digest last night simply reaffirms what I said before. Although it is very easy to pin the lousy performance on one or a group of players, I simply start and end the blame game at the top--with Jim Tressel and his coaching staff.
It is one thing to be out-coached by Urban Meyer in a close game. It is entirely different to lose in this manner when you are as meticulous in your preparation and looked like you just started playing football last night.
Sure they were off for 50 days, but Florida was off for 35, so to use that as an excuse is a bunch of CRAP.
The bulletproof vest under Tresses sweater vest came off last night. He didn't have clue one what to do or better yet, even make ANY adjustments to start the second half. To wit:
----Why not onside kick after the Ginn TD?
----Why not run the ball down Florida's throat after doing so in the 64-yard TD drive?
----Why NOT challenge the horrible spot on the 4th down play at your 30?
----Down 20 to open the 2nd half, why not go 2-minute drill right off the bat? Hell you probably get Troy Smith into a groove then.

I could go on, and on, but why??????
