I was at the International Bowl today, pretty good game I guess.
After looking pretty one-sided, Western Michigan fought back to tie it, only to lose by a field goal

Conceding victory to Esthete...dang. Even after the Buckeyes win tonight, you've already got it locked up. Losing sucks, but at least it comes at the hands of a fellow Buckeye fan. Enjoy the game tonight everyone! Ohio State 38 Florida 17

What's the buzz like in Columbus today? I'd imagine it's something akin to national holiday up there.

Man if only I hadn't gone 1-5 on New Year's Day...
Congrats on the big win here Esthete, but my condolences on the championship game. Now you know I felt after OSU killed ND in the Fiesta Bowl last year (Yeah Yeah I know, and after the Michigan game in September. And the USC game in November. And the Sugar Bowl last week). Great game by Troy Smith though, he must have gotten some tips on how to prepare for a big game from Brady Quinn :lol:

Ohio State got owned! It was really surprising, certainly not the game I was expecting. Florida had really impressive speed on the defensive side of the ball. I wasn't cheering for either team, but it is always nice to see a big upset (at least in the eye of the media)
