I must say that i did not give OSU a hope in hell when they were drawn against Bama, luckily i'm not a betting man...
OSU coaching staff did a heck of a job with their 3rd choice QB no less...

It's the Riffle effect.

All kidding aside, that Urban guy is something:

"Urban Meyer, the two-time national champion coach who has the highest winning percentage - .837; 128-25 - of any active coach with at least 10 years of experience, is 24-2 overall and 16-0 in Big Ten Conference games as coach at Ohio State University. His Buckeyes have set a school record with a 24-game winning streak (fourth-longest in Big Ten history) while Meyer became the first coach in major college history to win 20-or-more consecutive games on three different occasions. His teams have finished atop the Leaders Division in the Big Ten in each of the past two seasons."

On an interesting (to me anyway) side note, Bill Bowerman coached Phil Knight at Oregon
and was the co-founder of Nike. Bowerman served in the 10th Mountain Division, which
was created in WW2 especially for winter and mountain combat. They turned the tide in Italy by climbing a mountain face on a Winter night that nobody expected anybody to climb.

Many of the 10th went onto major accomplishments, including the co-founding of many businesses
and ski resorts, such as Vail, CO.

Still partying here in Ohio. The hangover is going to be GLORIOUS.

AND......Bra Baron Les Wexner gave Ohio State $100 Million Dollars to boost their football facilities. Is that somehow any better or not also "Buying Success?"

You know why the Woody Hayes Training facility is now called the Woody Hayes Training facility at Harmon Family Park? It's because the Harmon Family also gave Ohio State a huge donation in the $ millions.

Did you know that when a booster asks Ohio State if they can attend practice, they are asked to bid on a chance? Ohio State sells meet & greets after practice for bids of $2,500 to $3,000. I could go on, but a buddy of mine is a Buckeye Booster and probably wouldn't appreciate it.

I do think Urban Meyer is the best coach in football right now. This is why he might be getting $10 Mil. a year to coach the Los Angeles Rams when they return in 2016.

Show me a successful big-time program and I'll show you a Sugar Daddy or two...or ten.

Congrats to the Buckeys and their fans.

I was one of those people who wondered why OS was selected among the 4 finalists.

The committee is now smelling like roses. I just couldn't believe OS could win the national championship with a 3rd string QB.

I watched the game with one of my uncles who was born and raised in the buckeye state and wanted them to win the game - just because of him.

Meyer is a great recruiter (although I guess all you have to do is convince enough of Ohio's good high school players to stay at home) and coach, that RB #15 is amazing and that QB, Cardel Jones is something special. He should declare for the draft now - while he's hot.

I love their offensive philosophy which is run the ball and throw medium and deep - forget the short pass unless forced to throw short.

It was also the offensive philosophy of the mighty Pittsburgh Steelers of the 1970's.

Congrats again for winning the first championship of the playoff era.

Ohio State Celebrations Turn Rowdy Following Buckeyes Win

I wonder if someone we know was right smack dab in the middle of it all?
