Get ready for Buckeye tears
I was on facebook and my friend linked to a site and only said "WOW" so i had to check it out. A picture shows that Johnson was down before crossing the goal line on the opening drive to go up 7-0 early in the first quarter.

if i was a fan of tO$U i would be pissed right now to be honest ... that looks like a big missed called to me
September 17th, 2009 at 2:24 PM ^
Tressel could have challenged it if he had wanted. It's their own fault.
September 17th, 2009 at 2:26 PM ^
like RR did on the Allen out-of-bounds play.
September 17th, 2009 at 3:51 PM ^
Maybe if Tressel wasnt so conservative with his challenges, offensive play calling, wardrobe, haircut, etc...
September 17th, 2009 at 2:28 PM ^
Or he could have saved his challange and called a TO to give the replay officals a chance to review it before the extra point was kicked. This is definitely on Tressel, he had his shot to get it overturned.
Edit* i guess in need to take a typing course. 10 words per minute aren't fast enough...

I don't type fast, I figured most of the people here knew the background info you provided.
+1 to you for thoroughness
September 17th, 2009 at 2:30 PM ^
on the t.v.; I figured he must of scored since no fuss was made of it. You know they were watching the Michigan game, they should of learned from us!

Put "img src=" and then the address in quotes within angle brackets >.
Like so:

Will keep it in mind for next time :).

No problem! Also, if you put "width=300" or something similar, it will resize the picture to that width. (You can do height as well.) This comes in handy when you want to link to a huge image without completely covering everything in the diaries/mgoboard.
September 17th, 2009 at 3:26 PM ^
You can also use percentages to resize the pictures (e.g., "width=50%" "height=50%"). I've found this to be much easier for maintaining the aspect ratio, rather than specifying pixel size for both dimensions. Also, I've found that setting the width and height to 100% keeps the picture inside the comment box, even if it's a large image.
September 17th, 2009 at 3:36 PM ^
If you only specify one dimension, it will also keep the aspect ratio.
Hooray HTML!

Has anyone looked at the video? The problem with a snapshot is that it represents a single moment in time. The folks circulating this pic (very popular in buckeye land right now), don't say whether the ball crossed the plane prior to his knee touching the ground. Sure, the ball isn't across the plane WHEN his knee touches the ground. Hard to believe someone in the pressbox wouldn't have noticed and challenged. Or is it?

was about to post the same. on a side note, the nature of post-game bitching seems to be ever changing as technology continues to develop.
September 17th, 2009 at 2:55 PM ^
I have heard a lot of talk about Pryor not being/developing into as good a QB as he should be. But I am beginning to wonder if he cannot hold up mentally? Is it possible that he gets Vince Young syndrome before he even gets to the league? He obviously is not the sharpest knife in the drawer, and he seemed to take the loss pretty hard. I also read some analysis of the USC game mentioning that he looks tentative, even when running. I wonder?
September 17th, 2009 at 3:37 PM ^
I'm getting a little tired of this "Pryor isn't so bright" talk. I have no reason to believe he's less smart than the average college quarterback. Sure, his judgment might be in question (Vick tribute, high school fights and such), but that's different from smarts. Is there sufficient evidence to label Pryor dumb? And let's not confuse articulate with intelligent. The two are often not corelated.
September 17th, 2009 at 3:56 PM ^
Dude didn't even know the proper name of the school he committed to, the University of Ohio State?
Challenging fans (in HS basketball) to a fight.
Everbody does, kills people, murders, steal from you, etc...
No, he's not the brightest.
September 17th, 2009 at 4:18 PM ^
He's a Buckeye. How much more evidence do you need?
September 17th, 2009 at 5:58 PM ^
I never really got into the subject...I just assumed he was of average "athlete intelligence" (Leinart and Young both sounded like fools after the 2006 Rose Bowl) with some dumb quotes to go with it. But Chris Brown's rip of Tressel's offense during the USC game has caused me to posit the following - perhaps Pryor is not academically ready to operate a full college system.
Not running the zone read this year is a play-call issue, but I think it's plausible the coaching staff didn't have enough confidence in Pryor's game intelligence in such a high-pressure ballgame against such a defensive mind to give him the full playbook in the preseason. Remember, this is the first big game he's played in where they were expected to match up and/or win.
I don't remember anyone criticizing Ohio State's offense when Craig Krenzel was running it, they had plenty of offensive diversity and he was a smart guy. The more I think about it, the more I think that's the only credible reason Tressel, who knows the game pretty well, would commit the offensive brain-farts he did against USC.
So yes, I am buying the not so much in the "he's a dumbass" sense, but in the "he's not ready to run a full offense" sense.

they just poop in coolers.

Haha, holy crap. I'd never seen that before.
