Mythical Championship Open Thread: The Game is Afoot!

Should be a great game.  Can't believe the season is over.  Glad they gave us a huge break and weeks of mediocre games so that we could build up to this.

To a good, clean open thread with no injuries.

Comment like a champion, commentators.

Although it took tOSU longer to score this year than it did last.

it would have been perfect in this season of weird for someone non-conventional, like kansas or (gulp) missouri or hawaii or someone to have been here. not that any of those teams deserved it, they all didnt for some reason or another, but it would have been more fitting.

no matter what happens, this has been the greatest college football season in the history of all mankind. and i would say that even if kansas would have gone our more traditional 6-6. this season will be about much more than just crowning one team a champion, it will be about a complete change of the guard in college football. teams cant beat you anymore just because of their name, the parity that america has loved in college basketball for so many years is finally making its way on to the gridiron.

at least that is my opinion...

gag, enough about "Tressel fools you with his appearance" meme

its amazing he didnt end up in the SEC

I like what Tressel did -- mix it up, hit them with something they didn't see coming, but that your team is capable of doing. Maybe he learned from last year?

And as I say that, hester busts it up the middle for a huge gain on 3rd and short.  Nice play by the safeties although I don't think Hester was out running anyone.

its like the insane love for him can't just be extended to his greatness, now this...

Zenon made a great play that I'd like to see again from a multitude of angles.

Say what you will about the WWL, but you get the benefits of dozens of cameras and producers.

Well done, sir.  Well done.

all the obsession on Tressell's great playcalling start by opening things up?

Boek is 2-5

Nice design - four wide to the top, quick dump to the other side. That's a hell of a response by LSU.

Somewhere F.W. De Klerk is upset.

did this tecnhology just get released?

Also why run the ball with Flynn like that? Not only with the whole injury thing, but does anyone really think he's going to keep it on the option?

Maybe its my bias, but he looks slow, and I can't imagine him running the ball is their best option, over and over.

LSU's already scored more than I thought it would all game.

we'll see

only, what, one punt this game?

Third and long...pressure...pick. Don't want to be in third and long.

I guess that's what you get with a caretaker QB.  Tell him to drop back and throw it, and he'll do it.

LSU is doing what the want, and they are mixing it up and making it look easy.

There's enough time left to just run the ball and get your team going.

boeckmann just isnt that good, there only chance of winning is beanie wells.

The LSU guy had to have fifteen years on Josh Huston. I don't remember David Browndyke.

My only problem with OSU is that they beat no one to get here. I guess they were the last one's standing in a wacky season, but that's been the reason I've hesitated to give them any credit this year.

This season has just provided more ammo for the case for a playoff.

Well, I'd rather have $XXX,XXX per year in Hawaii than $10M/5 years in Dallas.

Who leaves paradise? For Dallas!?!?!?1

Unbelivable.

Things fall apart.

Although the "Holy Moses!" was a bit much.

I think the Big Ten wants to limit itself to the Rose Bowl every year so that it is only humiliated in one BCS bowl per year.

(Joke not valid in years when the big ten team plays Notre Dame.)

They need 2 stops and 2 TD drives -- and LSU will probably go back to run, run, run for the next few series, like they did to allow UK back into the game.

Not sure that this matters at all, just rooting for something close, and close enough to ward off another eight months of 'SEC speed'...

however, this whole "SEC speed" thing is tremendously overplayed and isnt even all that true.

yea, the SEC has some real blazers. good for you.

but the rest of the country does too.

just shut up already about your supposed conference-deep speed, nobody cares. lots of people are really fast, i promise.

What a season.

Can't wait for Spring Practice.

Until then.....thanks all.
