BIGGEST DAY IN THE HISTORY OF BHGP!!!
We were linked by Deadspin, (falsely and hilariously) accused of plagiarism, and we're rooting for Ohio State. I don't even know who I am anymore. Also, this is the first post I've written in 2008 - it's been so long I couldn't find my lucky pajamas. Anyway, we're here, we're... here, and we're not going anywhere!
Go [is he really doing this?--ed.] Buckeyes!!! [he is, jesus, there goes the neighborhood.--ed]
Previously: on Big 10 versus SEC - Michigan did the unthinkable and dispatched the Gators. This was the biggest win for the Big 10 all season.
Can Ohio State take down LSU and put an end to this talk of Ess ee cee speed and supremacy?
Can the Big 10 win a National Championship against a superior team from a superior conference?
Can I make it through a liveblog without talking about taking my pants off?
Stick around if you want to have all of these questions answered and I think I speak for all of us when I say I hope it doesn't turn out like this --

And
we're off! As they were waiting to go onto the field, Tressel was absolutely bouncing with anticipation. HIS SWEATERVEST NEARLY CAME UNTUCKED!
It was epic.
ahem
Looks like speed wasn't an issue there for Beanie Wells as he hit the hole and outran the secondary of LSU.
Geaux Buckeyes!!!
7-0
thank god
Ted Ginn Jr. is there to make the Buckeyes think fondly of last year's game when he scored then got hurt celebrating and missed the rest of the game.
Welcome to the party, Jr.
Asshole.
this
Horrible formation by tOSU - empty backfield on 3rd & 4 from the 9, thus allowing LSU to stand in a zone and wait for Boeckman to clumsily plod into them. Wow, that was stupid.
They settle for a FG.
I won't forget that call.
10-0, OSU
1st down - Tigers
"The first 1st down was key for LSU. Now they need to score points."
/ announcer dude channeling Madden
wow
Ohio State's D looks like a team that hasn't played a game in 6 weeks - guys are just standing around looking for someone else to do their job.
and
another terrible formation, this time by the OSU D. LSU had 3rd & 1 from the 14 and the Buckeyes had splits on their D line you could drive a truck through. They literally created a hole for LSU to run through.
Snap out of it, Tressel, the game is happening right now! COME ON!
Fox
Is creaming in their pants right now at the possibilities of QB ball suckage. Next weekend they have Favre, Romo, and bad Manning to talk about.
Note to self: stay away from Fox pre-game shows next weekend.
punt
Ohio State punts, misses a couple tackles, then LSU's return guy (Jones? I think) fumbles. After a scramble, LSU recovers it... and then LSU inexplicably taunts after recovering their own fumble. I think they just broke new ground in taunting. I don't believe I've ever seen a guy completely uninvolved in a play taunt his opponent after a teammate scrambles to recover a fumble.
Noice!
slam
Hester just trucked OSU's safety, leaving him in a heap on the ground.
Ohio State looks tired and we're 30 seconds into the 2nd qtr.
Ohio State
Makes me look smart by committing personal fouls, out of laziness and fatigue, on consecutive plays, leaving LSU with 1st & goal.
Let the beatings begin.
TD
LSU scores an uncontested TD on 1st & goal.
10-10.
Ohio State needs to get their second wind and regroup fast, or they're going to get humiliated.
holy hell
Beanie Wells just fucking electrocuted Chevis Jackson with a stiff arm, literally knocking him to the ground, and continuing for another smooth 20+ yard run.
Thing is, the Buckeyes need to take their time here on this drive, to give their bewildered D a breather.
sigh
and OSU gets ANOTHER personal foul called on them, moving them back to midfield.
Jesus Christ, guys, get your shit correct.
For fuck's sake.
jesus christ (jebus christ?)
is anyone here besides jebushchrist?
hello? is this thing on? [taps mic]

also stretched too thin
The Buckeyes. Are you kidding me with this shit? They're the #1 defense in the country, they've had 6 weeks to prepare, and LSU doesn't even have a good offense. This is an absolute embarrassment.
haven't you heard?
by chitownhawkeye on Jan 7, 2008 8:59 PM CST up reply actions
wow
I'm on record as saying I hate the Buckeyes, in particular their coach, but this is hard to watch. I cannot imagine the pain of being a Buckeye fan right now.
You have 6 weeks, hell, a year, to prepare for this night. You jump out early, then spend the next quarter and a half wandering around listlessly like you're at a fucking photo shoot and not a football game. This is what I've noticed, thus far from OSU:
- a horrible defensive scheme
- milquetoast, predictable offensive formations
- horrible situational gameplanning on both sides of the ball (see: comments above)
- horrible conditioning (i can haz Mike Hart's stationary bike?)
- lazy tackling
- Ted Ginn Jr. on the sidelines (they couldn't get Maurice Clarett? least he won a title)
- inability to maintain emotional composure
- a complete lack of intensity at the point of attack
- no teamwork
- no apparent interest in winning a national championship
- no leadership on the field
I'm disgusted and ashamed for my conference.
and it's all the more surprising
This is a team, or at least a coach, who knows better. Who should understand what it takes, and who has spent the last 6 weeks talking about how they're going to be ready this time.
With the exception of the boring offense, everything else here is out of character from them.

what the fuck?
Is Jamarcus Russell planning on hosting Supermarket Sweep later tonight?
Nice sweater, man.
And way to annunciate on tv.
seriously
Bill Cosby looked at that sweater and he was like, "that is an ugly sweater, boy! you got to get yourself a jeellllooooo pudddinnggg POP!"
and
why does every student at Trinity look like they just were greeted by the Publisher's Clearing House Prize Patrol?
also
Britney could use some Zoloft.
and some sleep.
and some veggies.
and some panties (crotchless do not count).
and a husband who doesn't end all sentences with "yo".
and Supernanny.
and a treadmill.
and some sensible shoes.
and stock in Frito Lay.
and a chauffer.
and some nice white pants to go with her straight-jacket.
and some conditioner.
and smaller sunglasses.
and some sturdier backup dancers.
and a new stylist.
and an island (with no Tiki bars).
and some unconditional love.
broken record
again, with the splits in short yardage
Does OSU not have someone in the booth? I mean, someone's lookin' at the 22, right?

Attention recruits!
When considering your offers, keep this in mind...
Come to Iowa!
Beautiful campus!
Plenty of playing time for those of you who aren't arrested!
A coach who won't leave despite many rumors!
Absolutely guaranteed not to embarrass yourself on national tv getting waxed in the title game!
hoenstly
Anyone who watched this "game" with any knowledge at all will know this has nothing to do with speed.
If someone tries to say this was about SEC speed, you can stop arguing with them because they're a fool and not worth arguing with.
hey
Someone remind me to watch the Terminator show.
I'm sure I won't see another commercial for it before it airs.
There's a Terminator show?
I've been living in a cave

yeah
I kinda did. American Gladiators sucks.
Lena Headey is smoking hot. Also, the show has robots, time travel, and things blow up. I'm there.

Budweiser
They were the first with refrigerated railcars?! I'm switching to Bud Diesel right fucking now!
yeah
It looked like he got the boots from the Macho Man coming off the top rope.

Les might fake this.
If not, well, he totally should.
Or he could back the team up five and do that. That too.
Tick... tick... tick...
I think LSU is totally fine with trading a first down for 90 seconds, by the way.
Best
clock management I've seen this side of Andy Reid.
Best = Worst

Way to go out on a limb!
I called it an hour ago.

The mere luck and hubris of an egomaniac.

I only read your comment
because I saw my name in it. I didn't understand all of those words, but I think you said I like hummus, which is completely not true.

Um
It's a sheep's belly?

I hate hummus.
The circle is complete.

you head out the door, watch the video, it's only about 20 seconds long.
Ohio State is the white dude ;)

You didn't watch the Western Michigan game
