First off, I'm not an OSU fan. In fact, I didn't think that I could dislike them any more - and then they hired Urban. Let's just say that I was wrong about disliking them more.

I also admit that I dislike Clemson, even more since they've begun to be a major thorn in our side on the recruiting trail.

All that out in the open, I thought the way that Clemson ended the game showed poor sportsmanship and a lack of class. It was clear, with about 1:30 to go in the game, that OSU was not going to use timeouts to prolong the game. Go into the victory formation and end it - don't continue to try to score.  I get that it's the defense's responsibility to stop you, but the game was over and had been conceded.

Just my $0.02 I guess.

Lord knows I am no Kliempsein fan, but he had his 2s and 3s in.  There is nothing wrong with letting those guys play.

Yeah, I despise OSU so much I was disappointed Clemson didn't score again.  But I agree, Dabo had his backups in.  No problem, imo.  I really like Dabo, truth be told.

I know that the backups were in the game, and see how that diminishes the impact, but still think I'd have taken a knee as soon as I could have run out the clock.

Respect opposing views, though.

They were running the ball and making yards.  If they were passing it all over the lot then yeah o might have had a problem.  They were running the string within their offense and o'cryo state whineeyes were apparently not able to stop them, till the very end.
No issues whatsoever with how the rat bastards finished the game.

I don't think they were trying to RUTS.  But if they WERE, I'd be just fine with that.  Herban has made a career of it, so it would've been nice to see him force-fed a bit of his own medicine.

I wish they would have ran the time out with one final TD!  Piss on ocryo st.  No klempson fan either here.   I'm just glad the prima donna f ckeyes got what they got!  Kinda like Notre Dame a few years ago...Media wanted them in the NC game, they got it and ND got their asses stomped.   The corch meyer love connection with espn had a failure last night!
