Can't say i was expecting us to be dropped completely from the top 25 but wow. I thought that there was a better than 50% chance we'd drop into the 20s. Oh well, not that there wasn't incentive enough to regroup but hopefully being dropped completely gives our players an added spark.

Not for this at all, but the coaches poll is such a joke.

Did you guys actually think he was a good coach before the tOSU game last year? Everyone jumped down my throat when I said he sucked here ~2 yrs ago.

I'm pretty sure I didn't jump down your throat

I'm pretty sure I piled on Lloyd as well

As good as his record was a few years back, it should've been much better as far as solo titles, lead co-titles, competing on the national level, etc

at least you can say you're number 26.

I read that they missed 2 2-pt conversions during the game.

Were those bad decisions to go for them at the time? I would assume the 2nd was necessary because the first failed. Without knowing the circumstance, my hypothesis is that they shouldn't have gone for two the first time.

The first attempt was in the 3rd quarter when it was 31-25. I hated the decision at the time and obv I still do. Way too early to leave points on the field like that. I realize our offense hadn't done anything since the 1st quarter but its seems like a very basic XPT attempt.

The second conversion was late in the 4th after they took a one pt lead on Hart's spectacular run.

[MacGuyV]

Mid 3rd Qtr you go for 1, mid 4th you go for 2. Late 3rd/early 4th is kind of a gray area IMO. I can't fault that decision given that the scoring had slowed down in the 2nd half.

[MyTurn2Raise]

I was really against going for 2 with about one minute left in the 3rd quarter....too high scoring of a game IMO and more scores expected



the 4th quarter one was a good time to go, but that's only because they didn't get the one earlier
