    Miami in the Pinstripe Bowl

    Outside of one or two games, Miami fans don't travel to Miami to support their team.

    Credit to Ohio State. Glad we made a game of it in the 2nd half.

    I don't think we jump Oklahoma. The committee placed them ahead of us last week and nothing happened today for their rankings to change. If we want in the playoffs, we need to think about not losing by four touchdowns (Purdue) or five (Iowa last year) when we decide to lose. After the...

    Or have ND bumped back to #4 since they got the day off and play Alabama.

    On the ground estimate: 10 to 1 crowd edge for OSU

    Who gives a ****? Stop with the meaningless analysis. Your team played very well, went further than expected and your future is bright. I'll be cheering for you in your bowl game, as usual.

    Blown Out But great season

    You were not blown out. You represented your school very well and freaked us out along the way. Stay positive. Don't question your coaches, play calling, don't over analyze the game, etc. Be proud that you got to the game no one predicted you'd be in.

    You did more than make a game of it, Zeek. You pushed us to our limit, were within a play or two of changing the game. Hold your head high, your team represented your school very well.

    Has Pat Fitzgerald ever faced off against a passing attack this good?

    Coaching issue vs. player execution is the age old question. While watching from the stands or on TV you can't easily determine whose "fault" it is because we don't know what was called, who was supposed to do what, etc. on any particular play. Brian Peters is my nephew. After each game I...

    Has Pat Fitzgerald ever faced off against a passing attack this good?

    Rev, the problem with our defense has basically been with our linebackers. They've taken long stretches of time off this year. Contain, gap integrity, assignment football, etc. has driven us crazy. It's as though we played with 8 guys against the teams listed above. We used 11 against...

    Northwestern keeps The Hat...

    On the sideline sat a hat. Until the game was played on Sat. Then a happy cat wanted the hat. The cat in the hat was a coach named Pat.

    Scheming to stop (or contain) the OSU offense

    Somewhat effective? You scared the **** out of us. Barrett was rarely allowed to throw deep, for whatever reason. Your cover 4 was the answer that day, but those OCs are gone now. But just as puzzling are the lack of deep throws by Haskins from game to game this year. Like Purdue...
