Wow OHIO!

That was one of the best games I've seen since starting to follow this sport - totally awesome (even my wife watched it!). The atmosphere at that game and this one with Alabama are out of this world - are all the fans given 4 litres of beer and a microphone before the matches?!

Superb finish to the game, even though I felt he didn't quite make the 1st down on previous play - maybe you need the same technology that we've finally brought into our football matches to judge whether the ball has crossed the line....anyway, that's not the point:

This sport rocks!!!!

That Ky/Louisville game was better ... Just sayin' ;)

Up here in Ohio I know it's a huge deal .. I just mainly root for Michigan (and now Penn State) to dash the dreams of OSU fans .. I'm kind of a jerk this time of the year .. lol

I also loved that game! If Penn St. can win they win the east! What's odd is Ohio St. still has a shot at the NCAA championship even though Penn St. beat them. lol.

Don't fully get how the play off works in college football - they're voted for right? ??!!!

Also get the impression ohio and alabama aren't well liked (unless you support them! ) - the big bully boys of college football? ?

actually points combined

from this link = http://sports.yahoo.com/news/pitts-76-61-win-over-syracuse-sets-record-for-most-points-in-an-fbs-game-015323490.html

The Panthers’ 76-61 win is the highest-scoring game at college football’s top level. The 137 combined points eclipses the 136-point game Navy and North Texas combined for in 2007. The Midshipmen won that game 74-62.

actually here is another link too which has the 5 best stats from the game = http://www.cbssports.com/college-football/news/the-five-best-stats-from-pittsburgh-and-syracuses-record-breaking-point-total/


btw also Syracuse's football team outscored their basketball team
61 for their football team
50 for their basketball team

and they both lost.

There is NO Rivalry in College Football that equals the Iron Bowl (Alabama/Auburn).

That being said, Auburn often isn't a great team... and when they are rarely is Alabama (though that has changed in this last Decade... and during the Bo Jackson Era at Auburn).

HOWEVER, Michigan vs. tOSU is a delight. They've suffered the same, with UM being bad for a long while now and finally getting back to greatness. MSU vs. tOSU is another really solid one.

And I like to kick around the ol' USC vs. Oregon deal that emerged... but Oregon is back to sucking.
