Congratulations, Ohio State (Big Ten) Fan

I can simply say, that last night I watched a really good and entertaining football game. The Fiesta Bowl, in my eyes, was going to look like an atomic bomb. Texas was going to show up, mad that OU got the nod, and just break every bone in every Buckeye frame.

I was surprised however. Ohio State played the best they could have, utilizing all of their facilities to take a lead into the last two minutes of the game. Texas certainly didn't play their best game, but when they wanted to be you could tell they were the superior team. Two bonehead plays by Colt McCoy made the game close, stopping Texas drives in the red zone. And Ohio State, like any good team should do, took everything that Texas gave them.

But...let's jump back to reality for a moment. For the third straight year, Ohio State has gone to a BCS game and lost. Not quite as badly this year (probably because they didn't play an SEC team) but none the less the Big Ten goes another year without a BCS win. Way to go.

We are seeing the future of Ohio State football with Terrelle Pryor. He's the man. But can he throw the ball to himself next year without Todd Boeckman running around? Not to mention, Malcolm Jenkins, where are you and why did you win the Thorpe award?

So, another season of Big Ten football is over. And their biggest name and the 11th team both lost in their BCS games. Way to go guys. The Mountain West has more BCS victories in the past two years than you do.
