Being the conspiracist and ex-gambler I am..... Let's look at the game...

1) Tressel gets to throw out his contract if OSU wins the National Championship..... that would make his salary skyrocket OR worse yet, he'd go to the pros or another college.... He would be able to name his price....

2) Ginn goes down with an ankle injury?

3) Troy Smith plays like a high schooler, he shows none of the skills that won him the Heisman.

4) The O-Line basically just laid down.

5) The Defense played prevent till the score was out of range.... it was like "Ok, give them 5 yards a play, just don't let them get behind you." I thought Tressel was smarter than that.

6) Someone made HUGE ASS MONEY on this game..... throwing a few key players the millions they may miss because they get drafted lower (that would also be split with agents, taxed and so on) may not be as hard as you think.

Take Troy Smith for instance..... he plays like shit, throws incompletes and just lays down (which is pretty much what he did)..... sure he gets drafted later and loses say $5-10 million, but his agent would have gotten a piece of that, state, local, and Fed would have gotten some.... so, you pay him $5Mil, tell him to take the dive. He gets tax free, agent free money and he goes pro plays like a superstar and makes up for the loss come contract time. (The O-Line, Defense, and so on.... works the same for each of them.)

7) Let's say I know I have the Buckeyes fixed.... I pay the right FLA people to let the Bucks get the ball first and run it back on the kickoff..... then I bet that..... I make even more big bucks.

8) Who's going to talk? Let's just say I sent a signal by knocking off a college kicker and an NFL player in the same week.

The above I know couldn't possibly happen, but let me live in my conspiracy world.... I'd rather face that and look like a nut then admit OSU and the Big Ten truly suck big time.

Plus, how do you prove me wrong?

My response is, "I like to put forks in an eletrical socket, just LOVE that feeling, can't ever get enough of it, so will you let me put this copper fork in that electric socket?"
