Random BS...

- Thank Touchdown Jesus for Notre Dame. That salvaged the day in my opinion. Ohio State's performance against Ohio University was pathetic(that's an understatement). I know it was painful for you, now imagine watching it while sitting next to an OU alum...that you're engaged to. Good times.

- The Bobcats taking a lead into the fourth quarter in the 'Shoe has to rank right up there with other notable Ohio University athletic accomplishments. The only other one that comes to mind is head coach Frank Solich getting arrested for DUI while passed out in a car that was aimed the wrong way down a one-way street. Nice! Athens was always a good time.

- Spread for the OSU-USC game is rising by the minute. It was about twelve by the time Ohio State kicked off against Miami six years ago after rising as high as 14. I wouldn't be surprised if this one settles in right at the double-digit mark (that's 10 for those of you scoring at home).

- Buckeyes dropped to five in the latest polls. They're lucky to be there. I'd rank East Carolina ahead of Ohio State right now.

- Lots of people bitching about the penalty at the end of the Washington-BYU game. You know what? It was the right call. Yeah it's disappointing to see a game swing like that on what was clearly an uncessary infraction. Locker should have known better. Put the ball down...hand it to the official. It's right there in the rule book.

Plus, that penalty DID NOT cost Washington the game. It cost Washington the chance to kick a "regular" extra point and send the game into OT. Washington could have lost the game in OT. Washington could have missed the try from the normal distance. The Cougars appeared to have 37 guys in on the eventual block. They could have done the same from the two yard line.

And finally, good teams convert 30 yard FG's. In the waning years of the Cooper era the Buckeyes would get flagged regularly for celebration penalties, taunting, etc. They never had trouble converting the extra point.

Get your head out of your ass Locker.
