The mythical national championship has been played with Bama outlasting LSU 21-0. As for non-SEC football, besides recruiting news, there isn’t much to discuss and or argue about until the spring game chatter heats up. Have no fear fellow bucknutters! ITS is here to scour the news wire for you to uncover any interesting tidbits to quench your thirst for Buckeye news (or anything else that we find funny/exciting/interesting). Let’s get to it!
The BCS Is A Joke. I continually pile on to the current system we have for choosing a national champion every chance I get. I think most would agree that using computers and biased voting is the most un-American selection process out there. Once the current television deal is up, the college football brass will once again sit down and discuss tweaking the format. I guess it is a step in the right direction but there are many roadblocks ahead (cough.. Jim Delany.. cough) before we get the playoff that the nation has been clamoring for. Why can’t these fools see there is even more money to be made from a true playoff? Sigh…
The NFL Loves Buckeyes. Jake Ballard was a serviceable tight end when he donned the scarlet and gray but many, including myself, had a hard time believing he would do much in the pay-for-play league. Shows how much I know! Ballard has found a spot on the Giants and has taken advantage of his opportunity. He has been an important cog in the NY Giants machine this season and looks to see plenty of playing time this January. Good luck to Ballard this weekend.
When the Pittsburgh Steelers starting DE Brett Keisel went down in the first quarter on Sunday, OSU’s own Cam Heyward was thrust into the spotlight. Not only did he play well, Heyward was partially responsible for the huge Denver fumble that got Pittsburgh back into the game. It didn’t turn out well for the Steelers in the end (LOL) but Heyward made his alma mater proud with a stout performance from the defensive end spot.
Nittany Lions Are Turning The Page. After a tumultuous few months by hiring New England’s offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach Bill O’Brien. There were many that vehemently opposed the hire when it was first announced. There are still some out there that disagree with the hire but O’Brien received his first “We Are Penn St.” cheer at the PSU-Indiana basketball game and I’m sure it felt good. Listen, PSU fans drive me up the wall. They can be arrogant, loud and downright nasty on the message boards. However, in the wake of this awful scandal, I’m glad they have someone in place to concentrate on the football side of things. We are heated rivals but I wouldn’t wish this kind of scandal on anyone. Maybe Michigan. No not even Michigan.
Only 3 More Months, And Don't Act Like You Haven't Been Counting. I am so ready for spring ball to get here I can taste it. As I’m writing this, the national championship game hasn’t even taken place but I am already thinking about Urban’s debut. I don’t see how you can’t after taking a look at our final stats on the year.
That’s it for this morning folks. Keep tabs on us as we try to get the most interesting and up to date news on the Bucks. Thanks for reading!
