You called it, pal - BIG TIME HOSE JOB!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

NO WAY IN MY 50 SOME ODD YEARS OF WATCHING FOOTBALL WAS THAT A FAIR CALL!!! NOT IN A MILLION CALLS OF THE THAT TYPE.

Pure midwest UPI/AP poll sportswriters/sportsmedia biased officiating we've had to put up with, it seems forever. Michigan, Ohio State - 75-80% of the sportswriters and many officials are from these schools.

It use to be Nebraska was their 'honey pie' team they favored for a long time, but Ohio State always did get the favored calls from all the games I've seen in my years.

That's how they got there this year. They won three games on questionable calls which kept game-winning drives alive.

Pure unadulterated hogshow this time. A good game overall but Ohio State's offense was not impressive. They must have had less offensive yards than Miami. Turnovers killed Miami, especially the two first half interceptions that were hard thrown tipped Dorsey passes which Ohio had the fortune of having some lucky defender right there to intercept. They may not have scored in the first half if it hadn't been for those lucky plays.

They won, but were fortunate and predestined to win and got the 'hail Mary' official call on the last play of the drive that should have ended in their loss. They didn't make the play. The guy was NOT interfered with and he STILL dropped the ball. If he caught it outright, i wouldn't have complained, but he was saved by an official's deliberately biased call IMO.

The team with the most points wins, and blaming Miami's loss on other than OSU's tremendous defense is whining.

When Miami was at the 1 yard line in the second overtime with first and goal, with the game on the line to tie, and got stopped 4 times, with no penalties called, what is your excuse?????>

HMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM???????

It's over and Ohio State is National Champ. Miami is now the nobody they deserve to be. Time for you to get over it too.

Two tipped, eh? No. Dorsey threw when he was getting sacked.
