"Van Halen was one of the most hallelujah, tailgate, backyard, BBQ, arrive four hours early to the gig just for the parking lot bands. And still to this day is. It's an attitude. I think it's a spirit more than anything else is."
Shit, inferior?
As bad as OSU played?
We lost ... but they didn't impress ...
Carr is 1-4 against Tressel...
Tressel is 4-1 against Michigan...
so the question is...how long before Carr is gone...
Yeah, the dink and dunk all day ... if they play Michigan and Lloyd Carr every week, he'll win the Heisman.
Kinda pulling for tomorrow ...Originally posted by POJO_Risin

Pete DiPrimio: Buckeyes a familiar sight for Quinn
Dec. 5, 2005
Fort Wayne News Sentinel
For Notre Dame quarterback Brady Quinn, this Fiesta Bowl matchup with Ohio State is personal. He's a Columbus, Ohio, area guy. Buckeye linebacker A.J. Hawk and center Nick Mangold are Columbus-area guys. Even in the fifth grade, they were trying to knock each other's blocks off.
"They beat us 13-7 in the championship," Quinn said. "It dates back that far."
It's the Jan. 2 date that matters now, when No. 4 Ohio State (9-2) meets No. 5 Notre Dame (9-2) in Tempe, Ariz., in the most intriguing BCS showdown outside the No. 1 vs. No. 2 Rose Bowl battle between USC (12-0) and Texas (12-0).
"What sticks out to me," Notre Dame coach Charlie Weis said, "is they have a very dominating defense; they have an exciting offense with a quarterback who has improved as time went on and a couple of dynamic skill players, especially No. 7 (receiver-returner Ted Ginn)."
Added Ohio State coach Jim Tressel: "Notre Dame is very sound and creative. They have some tremendous athletes. What better opportunity than for Ohio State and Notre Dame to get together."
Such get-togethers are rare. Consider Notre Dame has played football since 1887 and Ohio State since 1890, yet the programs have met just four times, each winning twice, each winning once on the road, losing once at home.
The Irish won the first two — 18-13 in 1935, 7-2 in 1936. Ohio State took the next two — 45-26 in 1995, 29-16 in 1996.
If you like tradition, this looms as a must-see event. Notre Dame's 811 victories rank second in NCAA history to Michigan's 850. Ohio State's 773 victories are tied with Alabama for fifth. The Irish have won 11 national titles, the last in 1988. The Buckeyes have won seven national championships, the last in 2002.
"Both schools are rich in tradition," Quinn said, "so it's one of those things where you love to see two teams that play similar styles — physical, hard-mouthed, nasty football."
Quinn knows both styles well. He was born in Columbus and starred at Coffman High School in nearby Dublin. He grew up an Ohio State watcher and a Notre Dame fan, although if the Irish hadn't wanted him, he likely would have become a Buckeye.
"Ohio State would like have been my second choice," he said. "Even after they won the national championship, they still recruited me.
"People in my town would have loved to have seen that scenario play out with me playing there. But when it came down to it, it wasn't the right fit."
So Quinn came to Notre Dame, which under Weis has become an offensive powerhouse (38.2-point scoring average, six games of 41 points or more), while Ohio State developed into a defensive heavyweight.

« Back · 1 · 2
Nobody runs against the Buckeyes. They rank No. 1 in the nation in stopping the run, allowing 74.5 yards and 2.4 yards a carry. They rank fourth nationally in total defense and allow 14.8 points.
Does this mean Quinn could throw 50 to 60 times? Perhaps. He has, after all, thrown for 3,633 yards with 32 touchdowns against seven interceptions.
"It's fun watching Brady and (seeing) the progress he's made," Tressel said.
Quinn won't be the Fiesta Bowl's only progressing quarterback. Ohio State's Troy Smith has thrown for 14 touchdowns against four interceptions. He could be a big factor considering Notre Dame has allowed six opponents to throw for more than 300 yards.
Notre Dame and Ohio State are both at-large picks and their BCS selection left No. 6 Oregon (10-1) out of luck. The Ducks, who were fifth in the final BCS standings, one spot behind Ohio State and one spot ahead of Notre Dame, wound up in the Holiday Bowl against Oklahoma.
The Fiesta Bowl selection earned the Irish $14.8 million – the same as each conference makes for a BCS team. Next year their BCS share drops to $4.5 million, the same as conferences make for a second BCS team.

Hawk wins the Lombardi Award...
Hawk becomes fifth Buckeye to claim Lombardi Award
Dec. 7, 2005
CBS SportsLine.com wire reports
HOUSTON -- Ohio State linebacker A.J. Hawk won the Rotary Lombardi Award as the nation's top college lineman or linebacker Wednesday night, becoming the fifth Buckeyes player to receive the honor.
The other three finalists were Louisville defensive end Elvis Dumervil, Penn State linebacker Paul Posluszny and Texas defensive tackle Rod Wright.
"Anyone who's up for any kind of award, it's a reflection of the team and the guys around them," said Hawk, Ohio State's leading tackler for three straight seasons. "A lot of people don't realize how much the other 10 guys out there help."
About 250 coaches, former finalists and media members voted for the award, given annually by the Houston Rotary Club. Chuck Poole, the event's public relations director, said the club doesn't release a breakdown of the votes.
Hawk is the first Buckeyes player to capture the award since Orlando Pace won for the second time in 1996. Jim Stillwagon (1970), John Hicks (1973) and Chris Spielman (1987) also won for Ohio State.
The 6-foot-1, 240-pound Hawk was also named the Big Ten Defensive Player of the Year by a panel of coaches and media. He's also in the running for the Walter Camp (player of the year), Bednarik (best defensive player) and Butkus (best linebacker) awards.
The Lombardi Award was initiated by Houston's Rotary Club in 1970, shortly after its Hall of Fame namesake -- Vince Lombardi -- died of cancer.
The design of the 40-pound trophy -- a block of granite mounted on a steel base -- is a nod to Lombardi's college playing days. Before guiding the Green Bay Packers to victories in the first two Super Bowls, Lombardi was an offensive guard at Fordham in the 1930s, part of a unit nicknamed the "Seven Blocks of Granite."
Hawk was a little surprised to win. He couldn't pinpoint one performance where he felt as though he did everything right.
"It's tough to pick a best game because some games I made some big plays, but then missed a couple of tackles and didn't execute, and then other times, I didn't make big plays but felt like I did execute," he said. "Each game, there are always a couple of things I didn't like that I did."
Still, he did enough.
The senior led Ohio State this season with 109 tackles and 13 behind the line. He ranks fifth on the school's career tackles list with 382 heading into Ohio State's Fiesta Bowl matchup with Notre Dame.
He also led a defense that was the nation's best against the run, giving up only 74.5 yards per game. The Buckeyes also led the Big Ten in scoring, passing and total defense.

Sylvester caps off Buckeyes' rally with game-winning 3-pointer
Dec. 31, 2005
CBS SportsLine.com wire reports
COLUMBUS, Ohio -- There's something about big games and last-minute shots that seem to bring out the best in Matt Sylvester.
It was the Ohio State swingman who made the 3-pointer that dashed No. 1 Illinois' unbeaten season last March.
Hitting just 31 percent of his shots from the field this season, Sylvester hit another big 3 with 5.5 seconds left Saturday to cap a furious comeback and keep the 21st-ranked Buckeyes undefeated with a 78-76 victory over LSU.
"I don't know what I was thinking -- my mind was pretty much blank, hoping that I'd make the shot," Sylvester said. "But when I let that one go, I felt pretty good about it."
Ohio State (10-0) trailed by 15 points with just over 5½ minutes left and was down by 10 with 2½ minutes remaining before making every big play imaginable - and scoring the final 12 points - down the stretch.
"What a game!" Ohio State coach Thad Matta said. "I'm still a little bit numb."
Terence Dials led the Buckeyes with 24 points, Sylvester and Ron Lewis each added 14 and Je'Kel Foster had 12.
"We never gave up," Lewis said. "The whole thing, the whole time, we were saying we couldn't give up, that we had to stay together. We knew we could get a victory if we put our minds to it."
LSU (7-4), rattled near the end with a lineup dominated by freshmen, was led by Glen "Big Baby" Davis' 25 points. Darrel Mitchell added 16, Tyrus Thomas had 14 points, 11 rebounds and five blocked shots and Tasmin Mitchell had 12 points.
"It's not Christmas, it's New Year's," LSU coach John Brady said. "But maybe we gave them a game."
Davis' basket off a backdoor lob pass with 3:23 left gave the Tigers a 76-66 lead. But that was the final points for an LSU team that had three freshmen in the starting lineup and six among its top nine players.
Foster hit a 3-pointer from the right wing with 2:25 left and, after a miss by Davis, Sylvester's 3-pointer bounced around the rim before falling with 1:44 remaining, cutting the lead to 76-72.
Darrel Mitchell's 3-pointer was off the mark and Dials rebounded. The Buckeyes pulled within a point on point guard Jamar Butler's only 3-pointer of the game as the clock hit the 1-minute mark.
After a timeout, the Tigers tried to regroup but Thomas' off-balance driving layup missed and the ball ended up going out of bounds off an Ohio State player with 36 seconds left. LSU inbounded again and guard Ben Voogd patiently dribbled out front. He passed quickly to Davis, whose hurried air ball from 18 feet resulted in a shot-clock violation with 22 seconds left.
Ohio State called a timeout and then tried to work the ball inside to Dials, but Foster ended up sandwiched between two defenders at the free throw line. The ball popped loose for an instant and he regained it, awkwardly tossing a pass to Sylvester who was unguarded in the left corner.
"I knew Syl was open, and I was hoping to get him the ball," Foster said. "They were doing a great job with their defense."
Sylvester set his feet, took his time and hit nothing but net on the 3-pointer as a crowd of 16,136 erupted.
Sylvester, whose 3-pointer with 5.1 seconds left beat Illinois in the final regular-season game last March, said a classmate in a badminton class gave him a string of beads before the game. The classmate promised him they would turn around his shooting woes.
"He gave me the beads and I shoved them in my sock. I had them there the whole game," Sylvester said. "Now I'll have to take him out for a steak dinner or something."
The teams traded timeouts before Voogd brought the ball up the court and passed to Davis, whose 20-footer with a second left was off the mark, Thomas failing to tip it in as the buzzer sounded.
The game was a perfect follow-up to the last meeting between the teams. LSU beat the Buckeyes 113-101 in double overtime on Jan. 15, 2005. Eleven players scored in double figures, and the Tigers outrebounded the Buckeyes -- who hit a school-record 18 3-pointers -- by 20.
LSU, leading the nation in rebounding margin, backed up that statistic with a 35-29 advantage on Saturday, its young and talented front line dominating beneath the baskets except for when Dials was making one-on-one moves.
"It felt like it was 105-29," Matta said of the rebounding differential.
The Tigers led by 13 points in the first half only to have the Buckeyes cut it to 43-39 at halftime.
Ohio State came in as one of only nine unbeatens left in Division I, the first time it had opened 9-0 since the 1990-91 team won its first 17 games.
"I think we kind of quit playing to win and (started) playing not to lose," Brady said. "We had it going. We just didn't finish it off. It's a game we let go."
