Game Thread: Orange Bowl: Ohio State vs. Clemson

[Camfantasy]

You're fucked his name did not come up once with all these coaching searches. Once Chad Morris is gone (and the 1.5 buyout was all that stopped him from coming to Auburn with Gus last year) you are really screwed.

lol

I am curious where this ranks in the Best Orange Bowls of all time

Damn.

 

[cane_man]

yup. I can only hope Dabo has had his notepaad out, scribbling furiously.

As sloppy as his teams look, in his defense:

He seems to be going in the right direction.

People on Twitter are nuts. There was a story I heard about, I'd have to look it up to find a link, but the DB from the Bears that good burned from the Packers game....

Apparently, a whole lot of Bear fans were tweeting him death threats and stuff.....

but....

they goofed it up and ended up sending all these hate tweets to a sports journalist in Tennessee with the same name as the DB.

:rollseyes:

Clemson fans are nuts too. Back-to-back 11-win seasons, back-to-back bowl wins over top-rated programs (LSU and Ohio State) and they want Dabo fired....

because he's 0-fer-South Carolina.

Maybe Tommy Bowden should come back.

Really good game. Ohio State just doesn't have the personnel on defense yet to contend for the National Title. They are also greatly hurt by basically going through the entire year and playing nobody, until these last 2 games. Ohio State has only played 5 ranked teams the past 2 years(assuming Wisconsin finishes ranked this year) and all were either at home or on a neutral field.

Their schedule next year should present a little tougher challenge.

Well, to be fair he did beat Carolina as interim coach, but if that losing streak continues then the calls for his head will grow louder. At some point they're going to win that game again; they always recruit well and anything can happen in a rivalry.

I really like the guy. Not being funny b/c of the streak, I think he's a good coach, even if he's not "great."

For the love of Christ, can we please unban Sox and move this baby to the Toilet Bowl for 2 hours?

Then reban him, put the thread back and return to business as usual.

You are nothing but a class act Shane. Good game bro. Again I apologize for my comments earlier. Drinking doesn't do me any favors.

GG man.

Great game! GL next year. We get Va Tech to start the year.

 

[Shanemansj13]

Yep, he is gone now. I think he is overrated and I think he wasn't ready. That doesn't change the fact he is a good football player and we needed him for this game. Too bad it had to end like that

Finally watched replay.

Turnovers just killed OSU in this game. Mostly that muffed punt... that's just 7 points right there.

Boyd threw a retarded int on the 3 yard line. That is also 7 points.

That was just ugly.

yeah the "ifs" seemed pretty balanced in this game

True. Ohio State had two of those (not on the 3 yard line, but still worth 7 points) and lost by 5.

 

[geneh_33]

I thought tOSU was going to win this game until the muffed punt. Even after that they should have won.

Hats off to CLEMSON for pulling it out of a hat! Monster game!

I don't know that you can say that about it. Bell just stayed home and Boyd didn't see it coming.

The key play that destroyed us was that muffed punt by Philly Brown.. the new biggest idiot on the planet. Had he just fair caught it I think we win. He had NO business trying to do anything w/that punt. He was going to get killed no matter what. I guess this if why Tressel didn't have a lot of trust in these kids and mostly told them to get the hell out of the way.

Our biggest problem is that Luke Fickell is the worst def. coord on the planet. Our guys just have NO idea what they're doing and where they're supposed to be on the field. Nothing will get better on D until Fickell is gone.
