Remember about six hours ago when Ohio State was four and a half point underdogs to Wisconsin in the Big Ten title game? Hey, me neither! This was an epic beatdown the likes of which I have not seen from the Buckeyes in a long, long while.
And in response, normally taciturn and placid Ohio State players and coaches get to finally crack a smile, break loose, and celebrate. The cool thing about living in 2014, is that with the advent of things like Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, or what have you, we get to share in the celebration. Let's see how things are going in Indy!

Some of the players couldn't quite figure out how to process what they'd just accomplished, but they eventually found a way.

Also, let's give a shout-out to these guys right here. No one on the planet Earth that orbits around the sun in our lil ol' solar system thought that if we lost two of these dudes to the cruel fates, we'd still win the B1G championship by 59 freaking points. They're some kind of crazy mutants or something, and Tom Herman is their Professor X.
So proud of the QBs. We wouldn't be here without the blood, sweat and tears of each of these three. #NextManUp pic.twitter.com/FMJyC1aalg

And man, shout-out to the WR corps, too. The most maligned group on offense stepped up and took care of their baby QB, especially one Devin Smith.
We took that as disrespect in case y'all didn't notice

One a more serious note, you could see the kind of passion that the defensive line played with, especially Michael Bennett, in the memory of Kosta Karageorge. Bennett repped #53 as well as anyone ever could; he played out of his mind, and the rest of the d-line followed suit. A beautiful effort from everyone, all eight or so deep.
That was for you Kosta

DLINE played for #53 tonight.
— Tommy Schutt (@TommySchutt) December 7, 2014
That was an unbelievable experience. Love my team and these fans so damn much. Hope you saw that one Kosta. On to the next challenge

And, of course, the coaches get to get into the act too.
Big Ten Champs! Proud of the team! Thanks Buckeye Nation for the support pic.twitter.com/CDvB0M4vt8

Yeah backs. You are officially champions of the B1G pic.twitter.com/NIFukWCmeN
— Stan Drayton (@OSUcoachDrayton) December 7, 2014
But really, the thing that keeps this team together (at least for tonight) is love.
Man I love my team. I love my coaches. I love #BuckeyeNation. #OnTheTopItsJustUs
