Pretty Girl 10.02.10 - Emma Roberts
They Are Who We Thought They Were
Alright, maybe it was too much to hope that Tressel-ball had been permanently re-evaluated. Maybe we should all hunker down for some stretches when the Bucks run the ball 20 of 24 plays. Maybe intestinal fortitude is just not Jim's strong suit.
But buried within the banality of this Big10 win is a clear & salient truth... OSU would have lost this game last year. In fact, they did lose this game last year, except the opponent was garbed in black and gold. In a game where the Bucks lost the turnover battle, where TP completed just 8 passes for 77 yards, where Pryor was taken to the locker room in the 3rd quarter and Joe Bauserman was forced into action, where the running backs averaged 3 and a quarter a run and the defense was solid yet unspectacular... In that game, in today's game, today's Buckeyes still found a way to win. Sure they looked sluggish compared to the 1st four games, so let's remember this is the Smashmouth10 and that's simply how the game is played. I'm sure there are many of you out there waiting for the let down game, waiting for the misstep that prevents an honest run at a championship. Well, that game was today and they won by 11 points regardless. Let's smile and cheer.
Go Bucks!
