2003 Fiesta Bowl: the best game ever?

[AzRaeL StoRmBlaDe]

In my opinion there has never been a better college football game ever. This was the most exciting game I have ever seen, and it did have the highest stakes riding on it. No one said the Buckeye's could do it, but look who walked away with the national championship. What an amazing contest.

It was a great win for the Big Ten. Now if only Penn State and Iowa had held up their end, people would've found out the true power of the Big Ten.

And they say the Big Ten doesn't have any good teams.

Since I live in Ohio OSU winning the national championship finally proved a lot to many people. I think people finally realized that Big Ten Def. > Miami Powerhouse Off. Big Ten football is probably the hardest conference in my opinion in the NCAA. No one ever gives credit to really good teams in the Big Ten because they don't win as many games. OSU just proved that little assumption wrong with going 14-0. I bet you any amount of money Miami wouldn't be 12-0 if they were in the Big Ten.

I also agree with the fact that was the best college football I've ever seen. That is how a championship should be won.

Dang it! I heard all this hype about the game and I planned on watching it and then I ended up missing it! From what I heard, it was quite a game... I CANT BELIEVE I MISSED IT! [img]graemlins/madhell.gif[/img]

I agree totally. Many of the so called powers of college football wouldn't go undefeated in the Big Ten. It's one of the best conferences in sports, not just football.

I know, the victory was even better because OSU got no respect all year long because they didn't just blow everyone out. This proves that it takes a true champion to win all the close games, and that is what OSU did all year long, so thats what they were prepared to do in the championship. Miami wasn't ready to go into the game and be tested, so when they did get tested, they didn't pass. Tressel is obviously a brilliant coach, and most of what OSU did this year can be easily accredited to him. Miami did have far more pure talent on their team, but what they dont understand is that pure talent alone doesn't make a succesful football team. This championship is great of the Bucs and great for the big ten. I can see OSU having a great recruiting class for years now because of this championship. Can you say repeat? And krenzel also got no respect all year long, and he pretty much wins the game for OSU in the Fiesta Bowl. Well OSU can no longer be denied, bring on the Bengals.

A Bengals fan I see? Well, I say this with the upmost respect to your opinion but... The Bengals sucks. They have never been anywhere close to what type of OSU had in the past but lost cause of bad coaching. I do however must say that my browns disappoint me. They had the game and lost it. But, that's another story. One last thing... remember this...

"Offense wins football games. Defense wins championships."
