Was listening to Hugh Hewitt on PJTV a while ago and finally realized something about the Fiesta Bowl outcome. Hewitt is an Ohio State alum. He said his team "was robbed" of the victory. Suddenly it clicked. I’d been wondering why my old OCS chums who usually crow about their Ohio State team had been utterly mum since the game ended Monday night. I’ll bet they also feel robbed.
I had previously seen an ESPN clip where the pretty New York face claimed Ohio State had "dominated the game." Well, if they were so dominate why did they only put up six points in the first half? Definitely not dominant in the third quarter when the Texas no-huddle, hurryup offense had OSU’s defenders running ragged. And obviously not the fourth quarter when Texas won the game. Sore losers these Big Ten fans. No surprise there. I’ve noticed it before. I laugh. What a bunch of dorks. That’s twice in three meets Texas has beaten the overrated OSU. What can you expect from a team named for a useless nut?
UPDATE: The who’s No. 1 argument seems silly to me, but this is a good one. Although, as expected, even the commenters disagree
















Dick, think most of the sports commentators are upset that USC wasn’t named best team. I’ve seen that attitude concerning them, Penn State, etc., they can’t stand the thought that a SEC team might get the nod. I am glad your Horns beat OSU, could’nt have happened to a nicer bunch. We will see how our Gators do tomorrow night, you never know in these bowl games.
They are tricky, the bowl games, after teams have been idle so long.
The sports talking heads seem to be in love with the Pac 10 and Big Ten and unable to face that the SEC and Big 12 are better now and getting better every year.
My son is rooting for Florida, as is my nephew whose soon-to-be wife is a Gator grad. I usually go for the Big 12 regardless of the team, but this time I will be making an exception. As my barber says: I just can’t cheer for Oklahoma. 😉
