Too bad that Derrel is MIA.

Derrel is a Ninja; he's in the shadows, watching.

Was he banned ... or maybe run over by a bus?

Ducks recover another fumble.

Not that I can see. It seems he has recently logged in, though he didn't post. Maybe he's taking a little TPF vacation -- they can be nice at times.

Ducks score again. Welcome to West Coast football FSU.

 

[Gary A.]

FSU's defense is like Swiss Cheese against the run.

Yeah, I think Derrel is a big-time ducks fan. You gotta know he's sitting back smiling tonight!

Tonight the Ducks didn't wear their fancy feathered uniforms ... just their basic green. I guess they're saving the fancy stuff for the big game.

I hope they do, because this Ohio State vs Bama matchup for me is just torture. Why can't they both lose???

As the game goes on, I find myself hating Ohio State only marginally less than Bama, so I suppose I'm looking for an Ohio State vs Oregon pairing for the big game.

Either way, the Ducks need to take this all. Any other outcome is something I just don't want to know about.

What's all the negative vibes about Ohio State? (I understand not liking 'Bama ... but Ohio is just a bunch of annually overrated, big ol', corn fed, guys ...

Well, it started because Buzz is from a Michigan family. His mother grew up outside of Detroit and went to UMich. Many members of her family also went there. Buzz's brother went there. So I sort of inherited the loyalty for Michigan in that rivalry.

Then, Florida played them for the championship in 2007. There was such a fuss over Florida getting the spot in the game and Ohio State was sooooo confident they were going to stop all over us. That just annoyed me. It's one thing to be the favored team, but I remember them being so arrogant and dismissive, even moreso than your usual trash talk.

Ohio State returned the opening kickoff 93 yards for a touchdown and as far as they were concerned, the game was over. Of course, then we swatted them around like flies for the rest of the 4 quarters and won 41-14.

So yes, we won, but they're still on my sh** list. Oh, and of course Urban Meyer left UF to go coach there. He'd had that heart scare and said he was going to quit coaching all together, and instead, he took a job at Ohio State. Granted, I know he started out there, but it felt like when you're dating a guy for a long time and help him fulfill his dream, then he dumps you and says "It's not you - I don't want to marry anyone at all" but then turns right around and marries his ex-girlfriend. That's just a douche move.

LOL ... gotcha. I remember year after year in the 60's and 70's of SC playing Ohio in the Rose Bowl. All these big, slow ... but big dudes come across the line ... then when SC would put the ball in the air ... they'd all stand around with WTF looks on their faces wondering if a forward pass was legal.

 

[Rick50]

Well, I can't say much about all this but Ohio State just won!

 

[Gary A.]

Yep ... Ducks versus Bucks.
