OSU’s Meltdown:: “Guys were fighting with other guys”
By Tom Archdeacon | Tuesday, January 8, 2008, 09:09 AM NEW ORLEANS — It was nearly an hour after the national championship game — a game in which Louisiana State embarrassed Ohio State, 38-24 — and as Alex Boone tromped across the Superdome field from the OSU dressing room to the team bus, he still wasn’t over the meltdown he had witnessed among some of his teammates. A meltdown he — and some other Buckeyes — said happened on the field, on the sidelines and even in the dressing room. “I couldn’t believe that guys were fighting with other guys, this isn’t a barroom.” the massive junior tackle said. “You don’t need to be fighting with your own teammates. We were here to play football, Some guys didn’t get that though. But that’s not Ohio State football. “Everyone was fighting with each other and I’m like, ‘Calm down. It’s okay. It’s half time.’ But everyone’s like, ‘This is your fault,’ and then ‘No, this is your fault.’ I was like ‘Calm down, we got a half to go.’ But some guys panicked like the game was over.” In truth, it was. The Bucks trailed by 14 at the half and lost by the same margin, though they were down by more than that through much of the second half and only a late score made things look far more respectable than they were. Ohio State lost its second national title game in a row — and its ninth straight bowl game to an SEC team — for a lot of reasons: Stupid penalties — including a numbing five personal fouls — costly turnovers and certainly, LSU’s superior play. The Tigers were a better team. The most surprising thing, though, was the Bucks’ mental collapse that everybody from Boone to linebackers Larry Grant and James Laurinaitis talked about afterward. “You’ve got to be able to control your emotions in a big game like this,” said Laurinaitis, who, along with a BCS-record 18 tackles against the Tigers, had a costly face mask penalty. “We didn’t do that at all tonight. We did a lot of things we shouldn’t have.” Grant agreed: “Our mind got where it shouldn’t have been and It cost us the game.” Here's the link...... OSU's Meltdown:: "Guys were fighting with other guys" | Through the Arch Anyone hear of the same kind of talk last year before the NC game? "I'm just parroting what my roommate tells me after he trolls around the OSU boards. Apparently before last year's NC game, Troy Smith tried to give a rah-rah speech to the team when Gonzales basically said, "Who the hell are you to try to fire us up? You haven't done anything but hit the Heisman buffet circuit since the Michigan game." Gonzo also supposedly told Smith to enjoy his last game for the Bucks, since he wouldn't amount to anything on the next level. Some punches were thrown, and some of the OL sided with Gonzo over Smith. " ![]() |

good post Fancy. there was mention of this on the radio. & i pointed out ohio states sportsmanship to Buck which he denied. but the tv i watch has shown ohio state players kick another player after a bad play or a tackle. lots of fights on that team when things don't go their way. |

i guess it's time to put this idiot back on ignore. next year is a long way to have to wait on him to disappear again. unless ohio state plays an innersquad game & gets beat. if they loose that game he's sure to stay gone a while
