OSU fan here, my sis graduated from there and I live in the state of Ohio. Man alive, that game was exhausting to watch. Those guys beat each other senseless. Even though OSU was in the lead for nearly the entire game, it was never decided until Ginn took care of that on-side kick. What a thrilling game. Props to the Wolverines, they played their hearts out. Troy Smith, not enough can be said about the guy, he just owns Michigan. Somebody over on foxsports.com is already comparing Smith to some guy named Joe Montana. Rematch? Are you kidding me? If OSU already beat them once for the Big Ten title and a berth, that should be it, period. Besides, my heart couldn't take it. I see OSU vs. USC in the title game. Should be a good one, but I can see the Buckeyes just dominating that game. Only teams from the Big Ten could ever pose a real threat to OSU because they play each other all the time and know how the conference ticks.
I'd like to christen Troy Smith with a very appropriate nickname. Mr. Troy Smith, I hereby dub thee Troy "Dr." Smith in recognition of your surgical-like precision, efficiency, and accuracy as a quarterback. People may refer to you as "Doc Smith" if they like, so long as everyone knows I started it!
That said, I see Doc Smith as a middle first-round pick and will make some NFL team very good on Sundays. First things first...the national championship!
