I was ready to get on here and kiss our Buckeyes perfect season goodbye but after that BS with Wisconsin ,look for a major beatdown by the Buckeyes this week . We will defend Minnesota's honor. Go Bucks . Kick that field goal with 2 min left and up by 30
    If you are in the Red Zone, I have no problem with kicking a field goal up 30. Gotta keep the Red Zone percentage high.

It's one thing to say "I hate that guy and I want to beat them as bad as we can." and something completely different to do it and then push the blame off on a play card.

    I agree with this. If you're going to do it, man up and own it, a la Harbaugh.

The players knew they were screwing up and ran the play on their own. The now famous quote never appeared in the newspapers after the game. Some say Woody said it at a booster meeting some years later. He may of said it as a joke but the story is not true.

    What Bigdogg said . . .

    Woody refused to throw his players under the bus, and claimed responsibility for the 2-pt conversion. It was not a "rub-it-in-their-face" move.
