ahhhh…playing for that field goal.

I didn’t realize Tressel was the coach in 1950. I guess “if it ain’t broke….”.

I sort of “borrowed” that from a story in a Sandusky Register which describes it as the winning kick of the 1950 Rose Bowl.

Here’s the caption that goes with it:

OSU wins the Rose Bowl Jan 2, 1950 . black and white file photo. Source: ASSOCIATED PRESS FILE PHOTO. With Dick Widdoes holding the ball and the stadium lights already turned on in the semi-darkness, end Jim Hague (left) swings his leg to send Ohio State’s game-winning field goal on its way toward three points and a ROSE BOWL VICTORY over California at Pasadena, Jan. 2, 1950. The kick, from the 18 yard line with fourth down and less than 2 minutes to go, gave the Bucks a 17 to 14 win. Charging Bears Frank Humport and Herb Schmalenberger (right) almost blocked the ball, which is just to the left of their outstretched arms.

That was a rematch of the 1921 game in which Ohio State was blown out by Cal. Curly Morrison ran 127 yards and was named MVP. Note the uniforms – look a lot like this year’s throw backs.

What’s the story on the photo?

Circa???

I love it. Can you imagine seeing trees growing above the highest points of Ohio Stadium, or The Big House??

Tony in Beavertown, what would you know about class, Your have been coming on the blog for over a month spreading your crap on how the ducks speed would have the Buckeye’s defense gasping for air in the fourth quarter. How superior the duck were in all aspects of the game, if I remember right your predicted a blow out something like 44-7. How the PAC ten was the better conference. I just wan’t to tell you your full of crap, and have no clue what a real football team looks like.
Lets recap, 26 first down to your 12, 266 passing yards to your 81, 419 total yards to your 260, time of possession 41 minuters to your 18, TP accounted for more yards than the ducks entire team. Do I need to go on, the ducks suck, suck, suck. I told you when our defensive front shut down the vaunted ducks running game, and they tried to pass, the Buckeye’s secondary would shut you passing game down but you would not believe me. What about know Tony and the rest of the duck fans. Total domination, come back and see us when you have a real team not a bunch of want to be’s. You can go back to Oregon with your big mouths between you legs.

TIB-You have been a gracious poster on this site. Thanks for visiting us and sharing your thoughts on the game.

Now that Clock Work has posted (apparently a few beverages in), I’d like to apologize for him and anyone like him running shit. Even if he was even a little bit right about the game, personal nut rubbing shots are offensive to me and anyone on this blog.

That’s why I am embracing the new medical marijuana laws effective in Colorado. Maybe I will send Clock Work some. The new motto of fans in CO? Happy, Hungry, Sleepy. LA Cush and Pineapple Express…

This was a quality win for the Buckeyes today. I’m very proud of the way the team grew throughout the season and this game today was the icing on the cake. GO BUCKS!

What do you mean. I thought that was a great Nike reference.

(Kind of thick…that’s an understatement. I left out all the “one more time unto the breach” and the “strip his sleeve and show his scars and say ‘These wounds I had on Crispian’s day.’ ” stuff.)

Normally, I’d nuke stuff like this as spam but somehow it works.
