Gotcha, my bad. Guess I was thinking (?) that Cincinnati is maybe equidistant from ACC country and B12 territory. You're right, of course. Go Bucks!

I really don’t know how PSU is going to score. I don’t expect a shutout, but PSU should really struggle offensively in this game.

In the last game, believe that Graham, and Porter got some minutes. And, on both out routes, they seamlessly caught the ball, got one (or more) foot/feet in bounds, for the first down. Thought to myself, that here comes the next wave. If you had switched the numbers, could have belived it was Tate or Jeremiah doing the catching. The future looks bright. Go Bucks!

They eat "cuy" (guinea pig) there too. I spent a year going to college in Quito, and made my way to Lima once.

I did not eat either one, but I did hang with a guy from Toledo named Dave who tackled Charles Woodson in a HS game.

THREE TOP 100 BUCKEYES. This is the season Ohio State men’s basketball returns to the NCAA Tournament. It has to be!

According to ESPN’s college basketball staff, three Buckeyes rank among the top 100 players in the sport: Bruce Thornton (No. 25), John Mobley Jr. (No. 82) and Devin Royal (No. 100).

No. 100 - Devin Royal​

Royal edges out Xzayvier Brown for the final spot in the 100. Royal, a 6-foot-6 forward, averaged 13.7 points and 6.9 rebounds last season, showing the ability to rack up breakout performances: 29 points vs. Illinois, 31 points and 15 boards vs. Valparaiso, and 26 points vs. Michigan. If Royal can produce outings like that more consistently, Ohio State will likely take the next step and be a real threat to win NCAA tournament games.

​

No. 82 - John Mobley Jr.​

In Jake Diebler's first full season as head coach, his squad didn't end it with an NCAA tournament berth, but there were silver linings -- including a top-30 mark in adjusted offensive efficiency, according to advanced college basketball analytics site EvanMiya.com, and a top-45 clip in 3-point shooting rate. Mobley's overall marksmanship (13.0 PPG, 39% 3P%) had a hand in that effectiveness. He is due to have a greater impact in his sophomore season.

No. 25 - Bruce Thornton​

Thornton is often too strong for opposing point guards to handle, which has helped him develop into a remarkably efficient offensive player. He shot a career-high 50.1% from the field and 42.4% from 3 in a high-usage role that resulted in him averaging 17.7 points and 4.6 assists last season. Thornton will now hope to lead the Buckeyes to their first NCAA tournament since he arrived in Columbus three seasons ago.

Zurp, was watching in a sports bar in San Jose, CA. Pretty amazing place, got there early, and the Ivy league folk were just wrapping up their games, leaving their seats for us second gamers.....game was close for about two minutes, and then PSU starting shredding the Buckeyes. Believe it was Curt Ennis doing the damage, believe tOSU made him a millionaire that day. Anyway, my buddy (MSU grad), and I went over to the gaming section and played some video games, leaving our seats for the third gamers. PS, that bar made a killing in those days. Certainly the 'instant replay' was not as sophisticated as it is now, and that 'wired up drone' wasn't traversing the stadia on Saturdays.....am looking forward to a good game for a quarter or two, before Jeremiah, Tate and Inness tear the hearts out of the Nits....Go Bucks!

Getting a feeling that Coach Knowles is going to get it pushed in on Saturday.

Get out the plunger. I'm going to do my prediction well before the game, I'll probably tied up pretty much up to the game, so I'll do my prediction now.

From the outset, even with all the turmoil in Happy Valley PSU still has some quality players scattered across the lineup that are as good as any in the country and they're always extra motivated for this game since they have this cute notion that we're their rival.

First off, the Penn State offense has obviously struggled this season. If they can run the ball and try to control time of possession, that is their only chance imo. They have the potential to do that with their RBs, so I expect a run heavy defense to start. Allar is a decent QB with mobility, but nowhere near the hype he gets. If he is pressured, he folds like a stack of poorly built house of cards.

However, their defense is capable of good football and if they bring it, this could be a somewhat close game. We really need to get the ball to our top playmakers even if it's no surprise what the game plan is. Throw it to JJ, Tate and Klare early and often. Klare is definitely poised for a big game if we scheme his way. On defense just avoid the big play and bring the heat. In other words, change nothing and suffocate a very subpar offense. I anticipate some chicanery early on

And fans at the stadium, WAKE UP AND GET LOUD. This environment needs to be like it's the biggest game of the year and although the start time isn't ideal, the Shoe knows how to get LOUD. I don't care if it's a noon game...get up early, slam some adult beverages, and overwhelm them early.

Can't wait for this one, always look forward to this game every year. My prediction is OSU 38, PSU 14. Go Bucks!

Maybe Peter Burns should be paid $15/hr plus a $10K bonus for every ratings point over the previous year.
It’s called a free market. Enjoy it, you pinko.
Hell, I don’t even know who Peter Burns is.
