DAMN!!!

Well, the day was perfect right up until the last two minutes of the game!!!

Let me retract that. Everything was perfect right up until the Offense stopped moving the ball about the middle of the 2nd quarter!

The Defense played the best I've seen them play in a long time. We were getting pressure and hitting Barkley and their running game wasn't doing anything much to talk about either.

Now let's talk about the "lack" of Offense!

I've been saying this since the 2002 Season in which we went undefeated. The play-calling has to become more aggressive!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I cannot believe we cannot come up with plays that cannot get two - three yards! First and goal and we run a pass play that only works IF the defense screws up and doesn't cover the Tight End who is the only person running a pass pattern.

Then Tressel really tries to fool them by twice trying to run off left tackle which is what we do everytime. ???

I think that Tressel is a great Head Coach and Leader, but he is NOT anywhere close to being what a team that has the top 5 talent in the country deserves to have for an Offensive Coordinator calling the plays!!!!!

Everyone wants to blame the O-Line and QB and RBs and the real cause is that it is hard for them to be successful when very rarely the other team's defense doesn't know what we are going to do!

Alright, I'm done with the bitchin' (for now).

The Tailgate was AMAZINGLY successful!!! We cooked over 80 lbs of fish and the other things that were brought were also excellent!!!

MVPs of course go to Bobby "Buckeye Santa" and Kevin John for the incredible fish! Also my sister Lisa for her Mac n Cheese and to Linda for the Chipped Beef Cream Cheese spread!!!

Carla and i will be tailgating in Nags Head, NC (OBX) this week. We will be serving Crab Cakes and Shrimp and lots of Fat Tire Beer.

Hope you can join us!!!!!!!!!!!

GO BUCKS!!!!!!!!
