Funny reading ESPN today about the Orange Bowl tonight...


Jan 3, 2014, 10:44 AM

Both the ACC blog and the Big 10 Blog have their 10 reasons why ____ will win tonight, and boy are the comparisons of writers stark.

The ACC's Andrea Adelson comes away looking like someone who actually did research and knows her stuff. Her 10 keys actually relate to the game with stats and players who will be in action tonight as well as the story lines we know will be on display: our offense vs. their defense, how Boyd and Sammy respond in their final games and how our defense handles OSU's run-heavy offense with a dual-threat QB and a stout rusher.

Then there's the Big Ten's Brian Bennett who uses six reasons that have no bearing whatsoever on the game outside of Urban Meyer being a good coach (an old coach who is not playing and his revenge on Clemson, ACC vs. the nation and how other teams not playing tonight are fairing in their bowl games, and Urban's record at OSU and how scary that should be). Sounds to me like he's good pals (butt buddies most likely) with Jesse Palmer saying the ACC is over-rated (we're not the SEC-chanters of SC and such) and that "Clemsoning" is still a thing (obviously he doesn't know that we have actually changed this meaning to be programs working on raising their stock).

If these two comparisons don't make you feel like we should do well tonight with the Big Ten people searching and failing to find 10 good, solid reasons why they could possibly win tonight, I don't know what will. I feel much better about this game than I did the FSU or SC games.

GO TIGERS! BEAT THE BUCKEYES!

That writer is an idiot. He mentions Clemsoning as still a thing yet doesn't even know that it is defined as loosing to a lesser team or underdog/unranked which we haven't done in over 2 years. Also mentions the run defense being bad bc of giving up big plays, but no mention of the great run defense we have had this year, and last he mentions the turnovers and how OSU is plus 7 on TOs this year and acts like CU is terrible, we only had 2 games in which we turned the ball over on a negative margin, we are probably more than plus 7 on the year. What a total ######.
