Even before this …
Even before this game, Arizona State was NOT a consistent national power. It is hard to figure out why because they had some pretty solid teams in the Frank Kush years before entering the pac10 and won alot of Fiesta bowls (granted, they were home games). They are a huge school with a rich recruiting base…hard to figure out why they are so consistently mediocre….they are kinda like Purdue or Illinois of the big10…..a good year here and there but mostly very very mediocre.

Only a base pro …
Only a base pro formation for OSU. Arizona state should have covered Stanley and Boston like blankets what the heck!!!

The MVP of this …
The MVP of this game wasnt Joe Germaine or David Boston, it was ASU’s defensive coordinator, Phil Snow, who decided to play prevent even after the crappy kickoff gave the bucks the ball at the 35 yard line.

Boston was so wide open my grandmother could have caught that pass and crawled into the endzone. A colossal choke by ASU.

How many games have we seen the prevent D snatch defeat from the jaws of victory?

RIP to coach Snyder, who passed on 4/13/09.

Spare me the home …
Spare me the home field advantage stuff. Didnt you see Oregon go into Michigan 2 years ago and leave with a 39-7 win, a michigan team that would go on to beat defending champ florida in a bowl? Did you not see USC just 2 months ago walk into the Shoe with a freshman qb with all of one game under his belt lead SC to a victory there too? You wont have that home field advantage excuse this year because the pac10 will be represented by either Oregon or Stanford.

Thats because of …
Thats because of the BCS. The Pac Ten has either played the runner-up or another team has played in place of the Big Ten champion. Must be tough playing in your home field for the Rose Bowl every year. How do you do it getting up in your own bed in the morning and going out and playing the biggest game of your life in front of your home crowd?

You didnt address …
You didnt address why Oregon went into Michigan in 2007 and punked the wolves 39-7 nor why did what is turning out to be a very weak SC team go into Columbus and punched the big10 champs.

It is just a fact of life that bowls, college or super, are almost always going to be played in the south – either SW, TX, or the SE. Even though you can put a dome over a northern stadium, it doesnt change the fact that the city it is being played in is very very cold, not good for tourism.
