As of 8:10am this morning one of the finer programs in the country is lost due to "budgetary" problems.
No one saw it coming and they just recently signed some top level recruits that gave them one of the top 3 recruiting classes in the country.

And, LSU spanked OSU like the little baby .
Team Stat Comparison LSU/OSU
Total Yards 326 / 353
Passing 174 / 208
Rushing 152 / 145
Penalties 4-36 / 7-83
Turnovers 1 / 3
Possession 33:56 / 26:04
I'm not sure why I am trying to convince Geek, he is pretty much unconvincable,(or anyoneelse on this forum for that matter) but..
I was there. It wasn't really a spanking. More like a scolding for turnovers. LSU was the most penalized team in the SEC this year. The refs were not calling any holding plays on LSU and continually would call ticky tack personal fouls on OSU. If you would like to look it up, it's in the books. I have a series of pictures that show the uncalls. Can't seem to find them right now. I will look at home. There were numerous flagrant holds that went uncalled for LSU. Do I think it would have changed the outcome? No. The NY Giants could not have won against LSU in the Superdome. I know one thing, that crowd would have gotten very ugly if OSU was given the uncalls that LSU had. The turnover ratio was the deciding factor.
As for OSU being 0-9 against SEC teams in bowls, I would like to see any SEC team come North and play in January in Ohio, outside, in the snow, at a neutral site, in Cleveland or Cincinnati. All of those losses come at basically home venues for the SEC. Kudo's to Michigan for beating those Florida .....
By the way I was at the BCS Championship Game in Phoenix in 2007, that was a spanking.
I feel bad for ASU.
