I was SO on the field once that game was over.....and the women on the field :homersimpsondrooling:

My nephew and brother-in-law went to the game. They were debating whether to sell the tickets, but decided to go.

tickets were going for like 300/400 a piece....but in my opinion the game was more than worth it

All you bragards can see - my last post!! (that's what's important, right?)

Wow storming the field DMC that is tough stuff, something to remember forever. And at a Rutgers game of all places!!


There is soooo much parody in college football now. I say that if Rutgers beats West Virginia and goes undefeated, they should be in the f*in title game. THEY ARE A GOOD TEAM!!

Rutgers *is* a good team. But until they find a QB who can throw the ball, they won't be a *great* team. But that said, their QB -- well, defense actually -- got'm this far, so I guess they can't be that bad, right?

Well you just beat the #3 team in the country bud

Enjoy it, and again, so much parody in CF today I'm telling ya, Rutgers could probably hang around w/ ANYONE. One more big game left and we shall see what happens with the polls I guess.

I never follow college football (I went to a D3 school ), but I just came here to congratulate JG on his school's big win last night.

DMC - I hope you weren't one of the bozos who stormed the field when there was time remaining.

No, I've made that perfectly clear to everyone I talked to, I stormed the field after the time EXPIRED (how's that for a concept) The best part was that the college girls didn't like their shirts too much after Rutgers won and most of them took them off, not sure if they showed that on tv though lol

Christmas in November, huh DMC?

Christmas/Hanukkah/Kwanzaa/Birthday/Easter/All Saints Day in November

I bleed Scarlet and Gray so I rooted for the Scarlet Knights to beat those Birds from Kentucky. Congrates on your team winning last night. I would like to play Rutgers after OSU dismantles M*ch*g*n.

So now what happens - does Rutgers have a conference title game if they beat W. Va? That was quite a comeback by Rutgers last night - congrats to their fans.

8 more days until the college football game of the year.

I echo your sentiments Don Alessandrio.

No title game for the Big East. Yet another reason Rutgers will probably get shut out of the BCS title game.

WOO HOO! K-State beat Texas

If Rutgers loses to West Virginia, and there is a three-way tie for first in the Big East, it is my understanding that the BCS will determine the Big East Champion.

Put a fork in the Longhorns...they're done.

The ND USC game has just become even more significant.

Wow, with 3,4, and 5 losing, we might see a UM OSU re match after all, with UM winning both of course.

Looks as if the winner of USC/Notre Dame (assuming USC wins out) could be in the driver's seat. Thank God everyone is finally off of Florida's di*k, and if Arkansas wins the SEC they suffered that season opening blowout to USC which would probably allow the ND/USC winner to get in.

what if USC goes down to Cal and then beats ND, and Arkansas wins the sec title game against Florida? And Rutgers loses to WV. How about an OSU\team from up north winner vs Arkansas?
These next 3 weeks are great. 4 (maybe 5) games in which teams ranked in the top 11 of the BCS play each other.

I think Arkansas is f*d b/c they got blown out by USC. Root for Arkansas if you DO NOT want an SEC team in the title game.

I had West Virginia going all yr, so if Rutgers takes care of them and remains undefeated I think they should play for a title. That said, I think Rutgers loses that game.

If not....they should play for the title. USC has a bullshit loss to Osu, and ND's schedule has been below par(below par for ND) b/c teams like Stanford, Purdue, UCLA, UNC have all been down.

Who else? Michigan/Ohio St loser could still go with a loss IF Rutgers loses, Florida loses to FSU but beats Arkansas in title game, USC loses to Cal but beats ND. What else?

LOT OF FOOTBALL LEFT

MICHIGAN vs. OHIO ST.

Should be a great one!


I can't help but think back to OSU's game last season vs my beloved Texas. IF Tressel plays Troy Smith the ENTIRE game instead of Justin Zwick the Buckeyes win and Vince Young is still in college and we are talking about Texas this yr.

THAT SAID....

Michigan supposedly has the best defense in the country this yr and you know they have the offensive weapons. OSU's defense has NOT been challenged this season, and as good as the current unit might be I don't think they have 3 first rounders like last seasons amazing squad had. I like Michigan's chances to match the Buckeye's point total.

MICHIGAN 31 OHIO ST 28 (What a game this should be)


EDIT-RIP Bo, dead at 77. Supposedly he gave a talk to the team last night and skipped out of his doctor's appt. Damn, this game just got a lot better if thats even possible.

Ahhh what the fu*k do I know!?!

Congrats OSU fans(Goombah, Don Alessandrio,etc) looks like its just a one horse race this year. OSU gave Michigan several chances and they still couldn't win.

(Watch out for Weis and the Irish though if they can somehow sneak in to the title game I say)

Thanks Ice. It's a great feeling in Ohio tonight. There are not many moments in Ohio sports that I have been able to relish, so this is particulary sweet for me.

As much as I would love to gloat, I simply cannot. I have to tip my hat to Michigan. They played a hell of a game. Neither side played defense particularly well, but it was an entertaining game. They ran at will against Ohio State and won the turnover battle. The key, IMO, was when OSU held Michigan to a field goal after getting the ball within the OSU 30 yard line on a turnover.

I think Michigan deserves a rematch in the title game, but I don't think it will happen. Cal is leading USC right now, so we'll see. If USC and/or Florida win out, then Michigan will probably be left out of the title game.

RIP Bo.

I guess I couldn't expect RU to win *every* game... but c'mon... that %$@^ "quarterback" can't throw to save his life!! WTF??

Damn u were right JG, that guy sucks with a capital S. College football is crazy though, football is crazy though. Anything can happen week to week in most games.

So it appears as if USC wins out, they'll move up past Michigan and play OSU for the title. If USC loses, what is the most likely scenario: OSU - Florida (assuming they win out) or OSU-Michigan.

I don't think ND gets in the title game even if they beat USC because of the thumping Michigan put on ND back in September.

I think an OSU-Mich rematch would be another great game. But I don't think Mich is any more deserving than a 1 loss USC or Florida team. Personally I was rooting for an OSU- Rutgers game but those pesky Bearcats ruined that for me.

A few posts ago I said I thought Michigan deserves a rematch. Now I'm changing my mind. Why would a Michigan win catapult them to the #1 ranking in a rematch? Using this half-assed BCS formula, what if Michigan beat OSU in the title game by 1 point? Who would be #1 then - would there have to be a 3rd game to "break the tie?" I think Michigan had their shot, they lost, and now it's time for another team to step up.

The only way I can justify a rematch is if USC, Florida, and Arkansas all get a 2nd loss.

As good as Michigan is, and they may very well be the legitimate Number Two team in the country, I don't think they should be considered to face OSU in a national championship game. They had a chance already to beat the Buckeyes and didn't.

OSU's opponent should be a one-loss team that hasn't played them yet. There are too many schools to give one team a second bite of the apple. I understand the Mich-OSU game was at Ohio, but that's life.
