College Football

The only way OSU will win is if Tressel can actually adapt his game plan, which he never has been able to do.

That is why they get worked in every bowl game by the SEC / Pac 10 / etc.


OSU severely lacks speed.

I love how people say this^^^  I get it from you Jud because you live in Cbus and are not a Buckeyes fan.  I would not want Gator or USC news, stories and fans shoved down my throat all day either.

Tressell is .500 in BCS games. Check Stoop's record- 2 for 7 in BCS bowls.  Put in the fact that we beat a team that was a 2 or 3 touchdown favorite in Miami that was supposed to be the best team in college football history.  It's not our fault we play in a crappy conference. I just don't get why the Buckeyes always get called out and the Sooners don't.  They choke harder and more often than we do.

Pryor=Fastest QB in the country 40 in 4.33 (electronically clocked).  A WR and CB on Big Ten winning 4x400.  At skill positions we have plenty of speed.

It's not speed overall its speed on the lines that we have been lacking.  We should have one of the best DL's in the country this year.  The OL remains to be seen.  If we get good play out of the OL than the sky is the limit for Pryor even without Beanie.

I think the Sooner's do get called out. They are notorious for choking in the big one.

They do but not nearly as bad as the Buckeyes.  Although I am surprised we are ranked as high as we are. Really would have liked to be ranked around 10.

Oh Jay, you crack me up



I heard that conversation last night at a bar between a LSU fan and two OSU fans (or the rest of the bar for that fact).


I really have no idea, I don't watch much OSU football or pay attention to any games all that much, I just like watching on the weekends.


I do agree.........the Big 10 blows. Michigan needs to get their shit together, so does Penn St.

The Buckeyes had some injuries and used a true freshman QB so no excuses if we win this year.   Trying not to get to excited yet.  The offense sucked last year, waiting to see how things look against Navy.  Also hard to get hyped for a team that I respect.  Supposedly there is a ban on booing for the whole game.

Lol. No excuses here. It's shaping up to be a great, evenly matched game.

I heard that Terrell Prior (sp?) is 6' 6" and can run a 4.4 40yrd


that is make the beast with two backsing impressive.

Absolutely they do. Down here we like to call 'em Choklahoma  amongst far worse things.

Both Stoops and Tressel started out well in big games but have since had a poor stretch. Either way, they're both outstanding coaches who will turn around that trend eventually, just as Mack Brown turned around his big game failures over time.

As I stated above- Electronically Clocked at a 4.33 40yrd.

Dude is magic.  Doesn't even look like he's running fast.

[cyrus buelton]

I think because he is so tall, it doesn't look like he is moving.


He needs to step up his passing game, I think he will be great if he can get dropping into the pocket.

[metallimonster]

Supposedly that is the plan.  As Tressell put it "He has the keys to the car and the reigns are off".

Can't wait untill Saturday to see if that is true.

[cyrus buelton]

Are they playing a JV team or is it a real game?

[metallimonster]

The Navy Midshipmen.  Leading rushing team for the past 4 years.

Still should be over in the 2nd Qtr.

[cyrus buelton]

Wow, that's somewhat of a normal first game.


better than Bowling Green or Youngstown State 



That USC game should be interesting; I'll be avoiding downtown that night.


Win or lose = RIOTS

[Randy@StradaFab]

  Yeah, the Sooners suck in post season....hopefully they'll do better this year.
I look for either Texas or Oklahoma against Florida in the championship game.
