college football nu vs. osu

[dreamz Veteran]

ok, i'm not into sports and i've never posted here, but northwestern university just had a great game last night against ohio state. osu was expected to win (they're ranked 6), but we somehow maintained the lead and won. we rushed the field, went to party at a pub downtown, and then there was an afterparty with all my friends at a friend's place.

did anyone catch the game? or does anyone care? haha.

go purple!

i watched happily, im tired of seeing OSU win so ugly. Good game for northwestern :)

[BroChaos Veteran]

yeah, i watched it too....

i figured OSU had the comeback in them, just like they always do....

quite a shock....

i was hoping OSU would stay undefeated until we played them ;)

i really dont care about sports at all, i think theyre a waste of time, but im partial to OSU b/c im from Columbus and my parents and sister went there... they should have won, yes, but thats typical OSU for you... choke when theyre expected to win... i think they get cocky... their game against marshall they only one by a fieldgoal at the last second.. stupid.

[dreamz Veteran]

but osu lost to us, which is really funny, since we're not that good.

they had a huge fanbase on campus. it was nuts. like a thousand reds and maybe a few hundred of us purples. at least that's what it looked like to me while i was pigging out at the tailgate party.

brochaos, michigan will beat us for sure. :D

lol yea my mom said something about the game today, didn't get to watch much of it, but it was kind of suprising to hear that loss.

hehe...my nephew goes toNU as an Engineering major...he's pretty happy about it.

[dreamz Veteran]

oh, boog? that's cool! most of my friends are engineers here. neowin ties are closer than i thought. :D

I saw the game from start to finish. I didn't think NU would hold out after halftime and after blowing their 10 point lead at the end. Once OSU's kicker missed the FG in OT, I was sure they would win.

Nice to see the underdogs win :D

[BroChaos Veteran]

yeah, that pretty much put an end to nugents heisman run. i couldn't believe he missed it.

i've seen him kick 60yarders in person during warmup, he's amazing...

[k311]

"nugents heisman run" ROFL

[BroChaos Veteran]

hehe, hey man, don't laugh. maybe not the most outstanding player, but he was definitely mvp to his team almost every game.

Let me laugh along with you.

:laugh: :rofl:

[JoHideo]

I went to the game and the atmosphere was just amazing. I'm pretty sure there were more OSU fans at the stadium than NU, but I thought we made our presence felt.

Offtopic, what are you doing now dreamz? I thought you were done and graduated?...

[Bwizzel-B]

OSU has had it coming. Entirely overrated if you ask me.

[BroChaos Veteran]

a lot of the top 15 is overrated. WVU and LSU come to mind. it's too early in the season, they are just being ranked off how they finished last year.

[Hupp]

It was a great night for me , it took my disapointment in the huskers into a drunk glee of happiness for NW.

Well, LSU is now #24. And after this coming weekend against Florida they will be out of the top 25 ;)

[pdoconnell]

I wish you guys hadn't beaten them...I'm at Wisconsin, and frankly the LAST thing we need next week is to face a recently beaten Ohio team that STILL wants our blood on the floor. Hell, its bad enought we have to play Purdue the week after, you guys just made our life harder. Bah...

Me too, I was rooting for NW. I'm was so tired of seeing OSU win by only a touchdown or less.

With the way WVU has been playing, they are overrated. We are top 5 playing level when our damn team shows up, but they haven't showed up yet. Look at it this way- WVU played like total ass and still had a chance to win the game vs VT. Lots of things need to be done regarding team discipline, its rediculous.

Oh well. I'll take the Big East BCS bid.

But yes. Watching tOSU get beat was one of the sweetest sights ever.

How about this weekend? So many games between top 25 teams, they're making me drool :drool:

i'm still around. i got a job in skokie, so i'm working there during the week, but since i still live in evanston (hinman/main), i go up to campus every week to hang out with my friends. you should come by my place sometime, man. :)
