LSU/OSU Banter Thread...

[Mbraud4]

Lets keep all the talk in this thread, have a month to banter back and forth, cant wait. I know some fans might be upset with the outcome of the BCS rankings, I am all for the playoff system if that comes about. But tonight Im doing the chicken dance all the way to the Superdome baby :chk:chk:chk

Congrats to LSU - Go Tigers!:bl

I can't wait for the naysayers to start the caterwauling about how unfair it is for a team that didn't win its division or conference to be left out. And then there are the anti-LSU fans (I'm not mentioning any names boone*&^%$) who will have another thread in which to bemoan the fact that Les Miles is still the LSU coach.

LSU by 10!

The Dome may be a little smaller on capacity but the roof helps hold the noise in. It will be loud.

[preludese111]

Should be fun to watch; too bad it's so far away.
Tigers will win, I can't think otherwise.:tu

[[OT] Loki]

I may have to run out and buy an OSU flag.

[Silound]

The Dome actually dissipates noise better, believe it or not. It has anechoic tiling all over to absorb noise. LSU is open air, which is why on a night game, with the barometric pressure overhead, Death Valley is slightly louder.


Regardless, this will be an amazing game.


If LSU can prevent the usual 100+ penalty yardage, I see them winning by at least a touchdown. If not, this could set the stage for a struggling loss by LSU.


Either way,





GEAUX TIGERS!

[Woogie]

I from Texas, but when not playing a Big 12 team, I enjoy watching the SEC. So, go LSU!!

Woogie

[krash]

Have been a Big Ten fan all my life, so I'll have to swing behind Ohio State for this one. I know that they were pummeled last year by Florida, but hopefully it will be a better game this year.

As far as who got to go and who didn't, until a playoff system comes (like Div 1-AA) there will always be controversy about who gets which BCS game. As long as there is millions upon millions of dollars offered by the bowl system, I don't forsee any changes. I was hoping this year to see a West Virginia/Missouri championship just for something different.

I'm thinking it will be a low scoring affair this time. OSU has a very good defense and so does LSU (except for 2 blips on the radar). I'm just looking for a nice competitive game. After the wacky year I don't want to see a bunch of blowouts.:tu

It is going to be one exciting game! Go Bucks! :tu

Go Buckeyes. Start rolling Les and his teams. I hope he gets used to it because when he goes to Michigan he better get used to it.

[Rahllin]

I can't wait. I have to start searching for my ticket to the game! I can't wait for this game, a month is just too long for me.

LES MILES IS STAYING AT LSU. HE WILL BE THE COACH AT LSU FOR SEVERAL MORE YEARS!

Just thought I would catch you up on the news.

That's the same :BS he said in Stillwater at Oklahoma State until the Cotton Bowl and he spent the whole time on the sideline brokering a deal with LSU.

[boonedoggle]

I've heard from some of my sources that he will definatly be LEAVING next year to go to Michigan. BUT, you cannot tell your team that especially going into big games. There can't even be a hint of doubt in his team...essentially, he is telling people what they need to hear right now to finish the season.

I'm not so sure Michigan would take him after what happened Saturday. There were those in the program against Miles even before Saturday, now there are even more. But who knows, this season has been insane.

Oh, and to keep with the topic of the thread, I will be pulling for the Bucks. Even though they are a hated rival, my loyalty is still with the Big 10 conference.

[kjjm4]

I can't wait. I have to start searching for my ticket to the game! I can't wait for this game, a month is just too long for me.

I looked last week, all the ones I could find were ridiculously expensive. I'm still feeling a little sick after watching that disgusting display Saturday night, but at least I didn't waste 600 bucks on a ticket. :hn

[ToddziLLa]

U coming to N.O. Toddy?
I might. I've got some connections within the department who can get me some free tickets if I want them, but I need to work out travel and hotel plans first. Plane tickets are hella expensive!

:tpd::tpd: I was never that confident that Les would wind up at Michigan before all the :BS went down last weekend, let alone now. I'll also be pulling for the Buckeyes. Hopefully the Big Ten will be able to knock the SEC down a few notches this bowl season....hopefully.

Not Likely!!! LSU, will dominate this game. The Weenie Ten just won't stand up to the SEC!

I have a feeling that LSU is going to embarass Ohio State. Who knows though, I thought OSU would destroy Florida last year.

Allstate BCS National Championship
New Orleans, Louisiana
January 7, 8:00 p.m. ET
LSU Tigers versus Ohio State Buckeyes

Of all the storylines and subplots that will surround this game between now and January 7, the most interesting may be the matchup between Jim Tressel and Les Miles. Scholarly and unassuming, Tressel is the better coach by any standard save recruiting prowess. Arrogant, brash and widely disliked even among LSU fans, Miles is dying to earn a championship ring to quiet the critics who mock his strategic ineptitude. Miles not only has his shot, but is the unanimous favorite. That's due in no small part to Miles' aforementioned recruiting prowess, as well as that of his predecessor, Nick Saban. The Tigers ooze talent and athleticism at every position. That's less true of Ohio State, but while the raw materials may be a slightly lower grade, the finished product is basically the same. Both offenses are run-first units, but not without solid balance in the passing game. The defenses are even better, and both feature tons of NFL talent, including near-household names like LSU's Glenn Dorsey and OSU's James Laurinaitis. LSU has the slightly better offense, Ohio State the slightly better defense. The Buckeyes' superior pass rush provides an edge against LSU's shaky protection. LSU is also the second-most penalized team in the nation, while the Buckeyes draw few flags. The Tigers get to play in the Superdome. And on and on. Every fundamental and statistical matchup and detail will be dissected between now and kickoff, claiming dozens of slight advantages for each side. In the end, no one will uncover an edge that can be safely considered significant.

The underdog actually looks like the slightly better team on paper, but there's a legitimate argument that the Buckeyes have played a slightly softer schedule. As with nearly all national title games, these teams are evenly matched. If both teams play at the same level, it will be a stalemate that's too close to call. Usually that means the game will be won by the minds as much as the bodies. Both teams obviously want a win, but who wants it enough to sweat and bleed for it, not just during the game but every waking moment between now and then? The stakes for LSU are high. A second national title in five years could mean that the Tigers supplant USC as the most dominant team of the decade. For Ohio State, the stakes are even higher. The Buckeyes are playing for the respect of the nation, respect that would already have been granted to most programs with 55 wins, a national title and four BCS appearances in the previous five years. For many fans, though, the Buckeyes' embarrassment at the hands of Florida last year simply confirmed their long-held conviction that Ohio State isn't any good, that the Big Ten isn't any good, and that football players from the North are fat and slow. Nationally, Ohio State will be considered inferior to LSU, Florida, USC, Oklahoma and any warm-weather team having a great year until the Buckeyes beat a highly-regarded SEC team in a big-time bowl. The Buckeyes are well aware of this. This is more than a big-time bowl. It's the national championship, and LSU is the perfect opponent. For the Buckeyes players and coaches, this game is more than an opportunity to win a national title. It's an opportunity to erase the effects of the worst day of their lives. A chance at national-title redemption doesn't come around very often for a given group of players, and when it does those players usually perform in a way that reminds us that atonement is a powerful motivator. Remember Florida's dismantling of Florida State the year after the Tommie Frazier beatdown? Ohio State will play the very best game it can possibly play. That will be more than enough to win. Ohio State 24-9

What's that smell? Oh! Yeah! It smells like a homer!
The writer should go back and look at the scores from this year's games. Nobody has held LSU to only 9 points. Looks like another ink sniffing writer trying to get noticed by picking the underdog...

[Rahllin]

Yeah. But it seems like everyone is picking Ohio. Doesn't that make LSU the underdog?

If Ohio State was confident in themselves, they should consider themselves the dominant team since they are ranked #1 going into the game. Don't ya think? I'd much rather see LSU as the underdog in this game. You've seen what they've done this season... chased down the #1 spot two times already this season. I think they are more than capable of doing it again.

[SaltyMcGee]

Yeah. But it seems like everyone is picking Ohio. Doesn't that make LSU the underdog?

Who is everyone? If you watch ESPN, they are practically guaranteeing an LSU victory.

[SaltyMcGee]

If Ohio State was confident in themselves, they should consider themselves the dominant team since they are ranked #1 going into the game. Don't ya think? I'd much rather see LSU as the underdog in this game.

Doesn't that defeat your own argument? In two sentences, you say that we should be confident and consider ourselves the dominant team, then immediately hope for your team to be the underdog. Shouldn't LSU be confident in themselves too?

The #1 ranking is meaningless this year...as crazy as college football has been, the #1 vs. #2 ranking means very little.

[Mbraud4]

Cant wait to see the game, Jan 7th cant come soon enough.

Time to bring this back to life. One week from today. I'll start off saying that, I'll limit the trash talking to a minimum.......ahhhh who am I kidding.

I'll start by asking two questions. If LSU is so damn lucky to be in the game, how is it that we are favored to win.

How is the #1 team with one loss the underdog to a two loss lucky team.

Because all the pundits are in love with the SEC. The game is practically a home game for LSU. For some reason, losing a game in overtime, no matter how many, is better than losing it in regulation (if you're that damn good, you shouldn't have to go into overtime).
I like OSU being the underdog. Last year they were number one all year and going into the championship game they were over-confident. This year they are just sitting back with nothing to lose. That is why you should be worried.

Well. let's see................

Ten SEC teams out of twelve were bowl eligible this year, and nine got bowl bids. That percentage beats all other conferences. Eight of the nine games played to date, with an SEC record of 6 wins, 2 loses, with ONLY the Arkansas game a run-away against the SEC, and the Georgia smackdown of Hawaii in the mix. After the final SEC game, and a 7 win, 2 loss record, maybe there will be something there to point to a reason the pundits like the SEC!?!

LSU by at least 10 points.

Get 'em TIGERS!!

well said! It wasn't a pushover game for either team. It was good and thrilling to watch!

[boonedoggle]

I appreciate that the fans and team were chanting "SEC, SEC" to show the people we are the dominant conference in NCAA football! :)

I've been there for the Sugar Bowl on New Years Eve...it is indeed insane and rivals Mardi Gras!

[macjoe53]

Just watch the whining press conference. No credit given to LSU. Ohio basically saying we let them win by not executing.

Hey! A loss is a loss. I'm celebrating with a CAO MX2 and a glass of W.L. Weller Centennial 10 year old.

By the way, they just showed Bourbon St. on one of the local stations. Definitely looked like Mardi gras.

[SvilleKid]

Congratulations Mike.

Congrats to all LSU fans and SEC fans.

Now the down side...................

No more college football for a little over 8 months:mad:

[Mbraud4]

Thx Cliff, and yes, boring off season now...but a good way to end the year for us Tigers.

[Guitarman-S.T-]

[quote=reggiebuckeye;1319984]All that can be said is see you on the 7th. My buckeyes will do al lthe talking for me.

I didn't see your Buckeyes doing too much talking...wait a minute...they were talking they just didn't do any PLAYING! They obviously thought the first one to "TEN" won the game!

I'd be willing to bet you're not going to be wearing that 1932 Ohio State lettermans jacket anytime soon.

[The Dakotan]

Congrats to my LSU B/SOTL ...


as an Ohio State alum it hurts me to say that!! A great season for the SEC, indeed. Nobody will argue against that.

As as far as I'm concerned, despite the media polls, Ohio is the #2 team in the country this morning.

The same Lee who championed Gino Toretta over Marshall Faulk for the Heisman Trophy. :hn

As an Alabama fan, I HATE it when Lee Corso picks us in a game. The guy is the kiss of death, like getting on the cover of SI. There are times and places you definitely don't want to be picked as the favorite.

That was a fine effort. Congratulations, Tigers!

Once again Corso proved he's mistaken more often than not. That and the fact that he hates the SEC.

Ok, so as a Buckeye fan, my :2 ...

Last year was a shock to us all. I still can't believe Florida beat us as badly as they did. Yes, the SEC rules all, at least that what most of my SEC friends want to hear. :D This year I would have been happy if we were in the top 20. We lost our offense and defense last year. It was sure to be one of those proverbial "rebuilding years." Then, this season started and the Big 10 sucked. big time. We won our games and ended up in the national championship game. Then we got beat. Yes, we got beat. bad. The stupid personal fouls we deserved didn't help, but we got beat. Congrats LSU!

So, this season has converted me ... the BCS sucks. We need a playoff.

To all my SEC B/SOTL: Yes, as of late the SEC has dominated college football and is, currently, the best conference. However, if we are talking about the history of college football, doesn't the Big 10 deserve some respect? I know, I know ... "but, Dakotan, shouldn't we live in the present?" Yes, we should, which is why I concede that the SEC is the best conference currently. However, if we say that the SEC is the best conference ever, shouldn't we look to the history of college football? Also, how would we determine who is the best conference? national championships?

Again, congrats LSU!!

Right. I forgot to reply to this. I hate listening to the analysts because, to make for a good show, they need to have disagreement. I really don't think they agree. They just need controversy. You know, to get the other team's fans mad ... which is why we keep watching. And it works!! :tu

[ToddziLLa]

Damn.

Congrats to LSU fans...must have been great waking up this morning!

Police arrest 15, respond to fires after Buckeyes lose in title game
January 8, 2008

AP - Jan 8, 12:27 am EST
COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) -- Fifteen people were arrested and several fires set around the Ohio State campus after the Buckeyes lost to LSU in the BCS championship game Monday night.

Most of the arrests were on charges of disorderly conduct or resisting arrest, though two were expected to be charged by arson investigations after trash bins were sit on fire, police spokeswoman Amanda Ford said Tuesday. Between 10 and 12 fires were reported.

What would they have done in they had won?

ROFL. No doubt, good stuff Todd.

That's the one thing I don't get. I've heard the BCS Championship game called a two game playoff, but it can't be if the losing team drops below the #2 spot. :confused:

[The Korean]

The good news is now I can lay off the TUMS that I have needed to get through the season. From the few Ohio St. fans I saw before and after, Ohio State fans aren't half bad, even though they are a little confused:ss.

[ragin' cajun]

Damn.

Congrats to LSU fans...must have been great waking up this morning!

Thanks. It still feels great haven't been to sleep yet, though!

[macjoe53]

I just sat back with a Grimbergen Double Ale, CAO America Potomac and the GAME I dvr'd last night. Ahhhh! It was just as satisfying as last night.

[reggiebuckeye]

Gongrats to the LSU Tigers and their fans. You beat us. You deserve the championship. I have nothing but good things to say about your team.

[taltos]

Congratulations LSU for winning the game and national championship and to OSU for getting to the game.

[LSU_Stogie]

Haha, I think LSU had a harder time getting to the game than OSU.

[The Korean]

Maybe they do this every year and I didn't notice before, but ESPN has the first rankings for 08, and LSU is ranked 8th:confused:

They are losing a good starters, but I'm one of those people who believes that the team that finishes off the season ranked #1, should start off the next season as #1 and stay there until they lose, or do horribly and get jumped.

But you have to realize that USC is always #1 in the hearts and minds of the media. I'm just surprised Notre Dame isn't listed as #2.
