Oklahoma has become the biggest choke artist in the land. Forget about Ohio State OU now owns the title. http://www.theuniversitytube.com/westvirginia/view/23/wvu-beats-ou-in-fiesta-bowl/
After watching WVU in the Fiesta Bowl, their game vs Pitt was the biggest choke job of the year. Hands down.

yeh why are the Buckeye's choke artist? They had a bad game against UF. Do we forget Mr. Saban's fine coaching against Iowa ? You know after seeing Michigan beat UF, I think all of us better be ready for another stress fest. Plus those guys are tired of hearing how "They have no chance" I think WVU and Michigan were hearing that all month as well. LSU if they play their A game is a better team in my opinion but to be honest, LSU better bring their A game we could be all bitching. And if we put up another 14 penalities for 150 yards. Might be a struggle. Frankly Doucets "We are faster than them" in my opinion was a bonehead move. Ohio State is not as crappy as some people make them out to be. Everyone had a bad game(s) this year. We had our share. But to call OSU choke artists I think is a bit of a stretch. Now OU thats different.
Yeah, I don't know why tOSU would be mentioned as choke artists... Lloyd Carr has been the "NCAA Village Choke Artist" for some time, although Notre Dame tried to take the title away.... but were disqualified due to the "No multiple coaches" rule... Then when Lloyd started doubling up... losing both his bowl games AND games to Ohio State, the NCAA got worried he might actually get fired over it, and set out to find a replacement. Stoops was picked because (1) he, like Lloyd, had won a NC early on, and, therefore, would be able to maintain longevity inspite of his bad coaching, and (2) he was in a conference with such low TV audiences that the NCAA thought nobody would really care. NCAA insiders are now saying they are hopeful of having Urban Meyer ready to take over in a few years should Stoops default.
I for one expected Florida to beat Michigan simply because Michigan has been playing with little inspiration for most of the year. But in reality, Florida had the 5th best conference record in the SEC this year, and for all intents and purposes, was rebuilding with a bunch of young players. Michigan, on the other hand, was expected to be a top team from the outset, but played poorly at both ends of the regular season, ending up with the 3rd best record in the Big Ten. Michigan clearly had the more mature team. Call it what you will, but Michigan brought some inspiration that they lacked previously, while Florida played an average game. LSU is also a mature team, and if LSU brings their "A" game, I simply don't think that Ohio State can hang with LSU on an artifical turf surface.
