I hope the Horns beat the ever loving shit out of Ohio State, then best them for shitting. Our games with OSU remind me of our games with Texas, being a one sided series for the most part.
We are 4-1 vs the nuts over the years. Would’ve been 5-0 but for one knucklehead losing his cool on one play and causing us to lose momentum. I knew immediately it was costing us the game. It was the 2014 BCS semifinal. We had OSU in the Sugar Bowl and were having our way, leading 20-6 and scoring right before halftime. On the ensuing kickoff, our LB Reuben Foster, who also played on the kickoff cover team, absolutely blasted their return guy on the 10 yard line. He should never have returned that kickoff. Foster hit him like a sledge hammer guided missle at full speed. The buckeye was laid out flat on his back and not moving. I was actually concerned about him. Then, lonng after the play, a la Smokey in Friday standing over Deebo yelling “You got knocked de fuck out!”, a Bama special teams guy, a squirrely reserve DB, strutted up and made the “safe” signal like a stolen base, and skipped off to the bench. Here comes the yellow flag for taunting. Their LOS is now the 25. The Dome is now silent. Here comes that monster QB Carnell Tate suddenly playing like a world beater. Here comes that great OSU RB who was drafted by the Cowboys, running for a touchdown. Instead of being on the 10, trailing 20-6 and Bama fans going apeshit, they started on the 25. Halftime score was 20-13 and they had all the momentum, and never looked back. To this day I despise that dumbass. He didn’t even make the fucking tackle.

That game was at Giants Stadium. Derrick Thomas was a young linebacker for Bama. In the last desperate minutes, OSU, trailing 16-10, kept lobbing the ball to Cris Carter, hoping for miracles. Fucking Thomas got called three times for interference, keeping their drive alive. Finally, their last pass (to Carter) fell incomplete in the end zone and it was over. All the way back into the city on the bus, this asshole on the bus kept yammering about the greatness of Ohio State University and Buckeye football. I asked him whatever became of Rex Kern and he shut up. Then I asked if he saw the game(s) where Woody lost his shit and tore up the first down markers or the time he punched the Clemson player. He became sullen. He was a poor sport and did not take the loss graciously.
