The nation and especially the media have a very, very, very short memory.

I still dont think OSU gets they credit they deserve for the 2002 season. They beat a team absolutely stacked with NFL talent and did so against all the odds. In regards to the last two years, though, I frankly thing that OSU needed to win those BCS games to cement its rep. Like it or not...

Believe you me, I'm quite aware of the vitriol surrounding OSU's performance in the last two year's Bowl Games. Last year after OSU lost a second consecutive BCS Title game to a SEC opponent, I told one of my good friends that winning the Rose Bowl was better for a program than losing the NC...

It's certainly different, but I guess that's just the nature of being a fan of a team from a college city as opposed to one from a major USC city with several different universities. People in LA get excited about SC (if they arent UCLA fans) but the city is so big and cosmopolitan that you just...

Thanks for the kind words. CFB is the passion that unites us all and I don't find it too difficult to take off the Crimson and Gold glasses and talk about it as objectively as possible. The paragraph of yours that I hilighted was interesting because it reflects the feeling of many OSU fans...

I too see it as a wash. What I meant by that phrase was mainly that on all major points I would have to either give the edge to USC (i.e. play so far, health of team) or declare it a wash (roster caliber, specific strength at key positions such as QB, ect.) As Ive said before, if you just go by...

:D I really dont want to be the opposing team`s fan who comes here and furiously fluffs his hosts. If there`s anything I hate more than blind homers, it`s posters who spend their time flattering the opponent. That said, I really cannot bring myself to believe that Tressell, a guy with one of...

I am inclined to agree with Zemeck on this one. Look, on paper this game is not going to be easy for the Buckeyes and as a USC fan I still give my team the edge. I have to. Based on each teams performances so far this year, their respective rosters, the fact that the game is happening in LA and...

That's pretty dire! I'm a USC fan so I would be happy to see that type of score on Saturday but I just do not believe that Jim Tressell will have his players so poorly prepared for such a big game. Tress has to be sick and tired of hearing about the last two big game collapses and he's probably...

Hahaha! As simple as that is, I think that if Beanie Wells really does show up at 100% and breaks out, OSU may very well win just because he said so. He's that good and I think USC's fans and coaches know it. I certainly know I do.

Here's how it goes: We all briefly post reasons why OSU will win or lose, then reasons why USC will win or lose, then post a final score prediction. This should give a nice overview of the strengths and weaknesses the fans see in both teams and how it will eventually play out on the field. I'll...

As a USC fan, I certainly I don't want to come over here and blow USC on a Buckeyes board but one think I will say is that OSU needs to start scheduling its OOC games a lot more like SC, period. One reason why USC gets fluffed by the media, especially early in the year, is that they schedule...

I've been saying a version of this for awhile already. The loser of this game will still have a good shot to be in the NC mix should it run the table the rest of the year. This isn't to say that the OSU vs. USC game has no impact, but unless one fo the teams gets blown out, pollsters won't be...

I'm a USC fan but I try to stay away from the Kool Aid and come at CFB with a level head. That said, my level headed analysis of the OSU vs. USC game is that yes, if OSU plays like they did this week against USC, they will get crushed. Pretty deep analysis, huh? Chances are, the OSU team we...

Rough game. I was gone for most of the day and just caught the highlights and yeah, it seemed pretty ugly. OSU has some stuff to fix coming into the game vs. USC for sure. the O Line play has really been sub par for what OSU is capable of and the defense just isnt playing up to its capabilities...

I think both teams will get their chunk of passing yardage, but when we refer to WR production, were all presumably referencing consistent WR play that results in scores. Rojo and Damian Williams seem to add a dimension to the passing game USC didnt have last year, but this is based on ONE game...

Interesting point. Robo and Hartline didnt really impress me in the game vs YState but I know what they are capable of. As for USC, the two receivers who did impress me (Rojo and Damian Williams) arent even supposed to be starting or at least werent after camp if Im not mistaken. As a USC fan...

I don't know how bad Wells' injury is, but having been the victim of a number of injuries which I thought were "healed" only reaggravate the minute I did some physical activity, I laud Tressel for giving him some rest and I laud Wells for taking it like a man even though I know he wants to play...

I've posted on Wearesc and I spend some time there mainly for recruiting info but I must say that the caliber of posting is pretty low. The biggest posters are mostly homers and they usually reserve a pretty rude welcome for opposing teams' posters. I hope these posters dont represent USC fans...

Pretty much all the responses to my response have been fair and contain a lot of good points. As someone said beforehand, the goal for both teams is probably going to be to stay low and disrupt the flow of the opposing team which is why a score like 27-14 or even 17-10 wouldn't surprise me that...
