Some Thoughts on OSU vs Texas

I figured a recap would be a waste of time since probably just about everyone that uses this site tuned in for what was meant to be the most exciting regular season game of the season, so I thought I'd just point out a few things as I saw them. These are quite random, so bear with me.
- First of all, after that BS helmet to helmet call, I thought it might be the Super Bowl all over again.
- I thought this game was a prime example of how silly broadcasting can be. At the beginning of the game, they kept going on about how equally matched the teams were and how Texas had these advantages and Ohio State had these advantages, but as OSU pulled away, they started making a ton of excuses for Texas to try and make themselves look better for not calling it right in the beginning. (Which also is a good example of how Ohio teams are usually treated as well.)
- Matthew McConaughey is a big idiot.
- I love the disdain in the announcers voices when they have to do a dumb promo for a show they think is a waste of time (See: Dancing with the Stars)
- I think folks outside of Buckeye nation need to take notes as Ohio States reloading power. There's a lot of talk about USC's Booty, but OSU can replace almost an entire defense and still dominate. (Huh? Sweed? Who?)
- Although the Buckeye's D does need some work on stopping the run.
- Ohio State hasn't faced their toughed task yet this season. The real challenge will be concentrating on teams like Cinci after posting a decisive win against Texas.
- All in all, Ohio State proved to everyone (well, all but one person maybe) that they are no doubt the number one team in the nation at this point. They went into Austin and easily took care of business against the number two team and they did it their way.
