• The lost Gramatica brother?

    According to the AP, OSU’s top receiver (Ted Ginn Jr) was injured while celebrating his opening kick-off return for a touchdown (aided by a holding non-call though it may have been).

    Kidding aside, I think I feel worse for Ginn than I do for Troy Smith. You look forward to this game for almost two months, and you get injured after less than thirty seconds (game time). Then, you have to watch helplessly from the sidelines as your team implodes.

  • What about Bob?

    I just wanted to let you know that I’m going to be in late this morning.

  • The word according to Fox

    Facts that will get air play later today (if Fox can be believed):

    OSU: Less than 90 yards total offense for the game.
    Troy Smith, the Heisman Trophy winner: The lowest passer rating in BCS history (O.K. … so it’s not a very long history).
    Jim Tressel: Worst loss in his career as a head coach (in points differential).

    All year the Gators were know for their great defense… but I didn’t think they were THAT good.

    Sure, OSU lost their best wide receiver early in the game. But was he THAT good… that he could turn around the WHOLE team by himself? Ninety yards of offense is not a lot of offense. If OSU had 190 without their best wide-out, you could make an argument that his absence was the difference. But OSU was totally dismantled. That kind of thumpin’ does not a single player overcome.
