Good time to remind everyone that Joe Paterno's 1986 Penn State Nittany Lions started the tradition of sending college football's national champs to visit the Presdient of the United States of America at The White House. Buckeyes can thank Penn State for two fortuitous trips to the White House in one year.

If you haven't been told before


Those are two outstanding GIF's ChiTownLion. Amazing how the B1G refs could miss the first call and claim that the replay was not functioning properly in a response after the game, then somehow the back judge missed the clock running out by 3 seconds on the 50 yard field goal that was in easy view for a national audience and was essentially his only job to do when waiting for the snap back by the goal line. Two huge calls that made a big difference in the outcome.

I guess you didn't have one of the launch call against Mike Hull on the missed extra point in OT that gave the Buckeyes a 15 yard advantage on the next possession at the 10 yard line in the 2nd OT ? Another huge call that was essentially bogus. All it did was ensure the Buckeyes were setup for the victory in double OT, even though the game should never even have gone to OT based on the previous unconscionable missed calls in regulation.
