desertvixenFirst, about the game: HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA OHIO STATE LOST. AGAIN! And Michigan won their bowl game. So, all in all, pretty spiffy for me. A win by Michigan over OSU would have been fab too, but alas, not.
However, after some minor glee this morning, I read this article at work, and laughed my ass off.

NEW ORLEANS - Meet the Ohio State Buckeyes, college football’s version of the Buffalo Bills.
Check that.
The Buffalo Bills.
Sound familiar?
The Ohio State University.
That’s what Ohio State was left with after Monday night’s bitter 38-24 defeat at the hands of LSU in the BCS Championship Game.
Another round of bad jokes.
Another fast start.
Another fading finish.
Another crunching loss to the SEC champion.
Another frantic search for consolation.
“We competed a lot better this year,’’ Ohio State linebacker James Laurinaitis said.
The Ohio State Bills? The Buffalo Buckeyes?
It’s an unfortunate comparison, but an accurate one. During the 1990s, the Bills had one of the greatest runs in NFL history. But they will be remembered for losing in the big game.
So will the Buckeyes (11-2), who have fallen twice in the Big Game, both losses coming as the No. 1-ranked team and the outright Big Ten Conference winner.
“It hurts tremendously,’’ Ohio State running back Chris “Beanie’’ Wells said. “To go to the national-championship game two times and lose them both, it’s incredible.’’
“I don’t think we’ll be making a highlight reel out of the second quarter [when LSU scored 21 unanswered points],’’ Tressel said.
