Some really bad jokes from the Rose Bowl banners, columnists and posters:
1) Buckeyes come out throwing the Football 8 times on a 10 play drive. Brandon Saine, the RB, catches a TD pass. Couple of possessions later, Pryor again hits Saine for a 46 yard bomb. Says one shocked Buckeye to another : "This is 'InSaine' "
2) On the third play of their opening possession, Ducks QB Jermeiah Masoli is sacked by Cameron Hayward who is in his face a second after the ball is snapped. Masoli overheard telling the linemen on the sideline :"You mean this is not the same OSU we played in the Holiday Bowl last year? AH I see what the little t in tOSU meant in all the Rose Bowl literature. Darn it. The devil is always in the details.
3) In the 4th quarter, Buckeyes take a 26-17 lead on the second touchdown of the night. Impromptu suggestion for Buckeye T'Shirts next year : TP + DP = TD
4) Ducks Linebacker to Coach Kelly after being pancaked by Pryor : "Coach we need SUVs too like other guys in the PAC10 if we are going to be punished like this on the field".
5) It was not all smack talk at the Rose Bowl between the Buckeye and Duck fans. There was good casual banter. Like the one time when the Duck fan complemented the Tournament of Roses for getting the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra to perform for the audience. The Buckeye fan said "Oh - I see what you mean. That's not the Vienna Philharmonic, it TBDBITL". Some Duck croaking was heard later.
6) Chris Fowler of ESPN to Coach Tressel : Coach the Buckeyes have so much tradition - what do you make of the Ducks tradition of having a tequila shot after each score? Coach Tressel to Chris Fowler: They are all sober today.
7) The stinging loss of the Ducks in the Rose Bowl had some immediate consequences. One of their cheerleaders resigned as she felt there was nothing to cheer and decided to transfer to the University of Georgia. With the demise of Ugga7, she is going to be their mascot.
