yep, thats what i think. they are going with as close to a pro tOSU announcer team as they can. as far as how many times MoC is mentioned. id say 5 and not more than 7 counting halftime. the story really isn't swinging their way and i think they will seek to alieanate as few non anti espn tOSU fans as they can at this point.Dryden said:
herbie is still ok in my book. don't always agree with him, but i think he is the best espn has to offer. good god, do we really have to put up with corso?

When Corso walks into the ESPN CEO's office to sign his contract renewal, I hope the CEO says, "Not so fast, my friend"...

I am still a strong supporter of Herbie. Unfortunately for some Buckeye fans he says it how he sees it, and that doesn't go over well with some.

Mr. Such and Such
i think herbie got bad rap for a few reasons. first was his comment that no offensive recruits should want to go to osu. this was in the midst of osu's slide and really was a comment of frustration. the fact that he said it on national tv irked a lot of folks.daddyphatsacs said:
secondly, when recciegate broke, herbie defended the program for the most part when on the radio in columbus, but despite the appeals by spielman and hopes of the fans, he remained mostly neutral and non-commital on the issue on espn. to some it was as if herbie was choosing his employer over the school that made him who he is. once the smoke clears from this, if osu is found non-culpable, i would hope herbie would stand up for the program as much as he could within reason on espn, but its a tough situation for him to remain objective when his employer is on a mission of producing some of the most unobjective "journalism" ever written.

Buckeyes Bowl Preperation
I was reading a premium article on the "other" Buckeye site about their bowl preperation schedule. I guess what struck me is the amount of time between the big win over scUM and the bowl game that they will NOT be practicing.
I don't think the practice schedule is privledged knowledge but if posting this information causes any problems please delete this thread.
According to the article the team has basically been off since the big win over scUM. Basically they practiced Thursday and will continue to practice Friday and Saturday. After Saturday they will be excused from practice until next Wednesday when they will continue to practice until the 16th. After the 16th they will be allowed to go home until they leave for San Antonio on the 22nd.
By my calculations there will only be 16 days of practice between the Scum game and the Alamo Bowl on the 29th.
I wholeheartedly agree that our student athletes need and deserve time to prepare for final exams as well as some well deserved time to go home and visit with friends and family for the Holiays. That being said, I have to wonder if there is going to be some degree of rust basically only practicing for roughly half the days during a 30 day span.
I suppose the bowl practice schedules are similar year to year with perhaps even slightly longer layoffs for the recent BCS games we have played in. I think most will agree that JT has done a remarkable job getting this team ready for its bowl match-ups the last two years. The layoff from live competetion and the time away from football will definately help get our players who are banged up healthy.
My main thought here is that this young team needs games more than anything else to get better. I hope we can keep the fire and momentum going that we had at the end of the year going. Because I think this team was just starting to come into their own the last three or four games of the season.
I was really excited about what I saw from this team at the end of the year and I hope they can keep that going. In the Mich game i think we got a really good preview of next season and I am sky high about what our Bucks can accomplish in 2005.
Heres to hoping JT can keep the troops rallied for the Alamo!

I am pretty sure the reason for the schedule is because there is an NCAA rule limiting the number of practices a team can have. I don't have the NCAA bylaws memorized but I think a bowl team is allowed an extra 16 practice sessions. Considering teams that don't make a bowl get zero extra practices I guess we should just be glad for whatever practice time we can get. Maybe someone will post that actual NCAA rules covering practices. NCAA really governs how much time can be spent on the practice field both before and after the season.

Texas Tech - Oklahoma State Background Info
Texas Tech - Oklahoma State outcome key to Alamo Bowl
Web Posted: 11/27/2004 12:00 AM CST
Tim Griffin - San Antonio Express-News Staff Writer
LUBBOCK - MasterCard Alamo Bowl officials figure they can't lose no matter who wins Oklahoma State-Texas Tech game (Oklahoma State 15, Texas Tech 31 - yit).
The winner should have the inside track to meet Ohio State in the Dec. 29 game at the Alamodome. Both Big 12 schools have attracted strong crowds to San Antonio for previous bowl games.
"I think we're in a great position with all of the teams in our mix," Alamo Bowl executive director Derrick Fox said. "I like those options."
The Oklahoma State Cowboys set a record for non-Texas teams by bringing 22,000 fans to the 1997 game. And Texas Tech brought an estimated 25,000 fans when the Red Raiders played Iowa two years ago.
"There are a number of bowls that are still in the mix for us," OSU coach Les Miles said. "As well as we travel, as well as our friends and alumni show up and support our team, that creates a lot of interest. And I don't think any interest will be created greater than by a victory on Saturday."
Miles said the Cowboys have had bigger goals than merely bowl positioning. OSU hasn't won in Lubbock since 1944 and will be looking for its fourth road victory of the season.
"Certainly, whatever bowl position you're in is enhanced with a victory," Miles said. "That's a piece of what will drive some of the motivation for the game. But it's just a small piece of the opportunity to get a quality victory and try to win a Big 12 game on the road."
Tech coach Mike Leach will try to help his team nail down its second appearance in San Antonio in the last three seasons.
But Leach is downplaying bowl speculation — primarily because the official announcement for any of the Big 12's bowl teams likely won't come until after the conference's Dec. 4 championship game.
"You might be inundated at this time of year to anticipate what is next," Leach said. "A week from Sunday, we'll know where we're going."
Tech has had remarkable offensive success against the Cowboys during Leach's coaching tenure, rolling up 49, 49, 49 and 51 points in the four games.
The Red Raiders haven't been as potent as Leach's previous teams, however, scoring more than 35 points in only four games this season.
Top receiving playmakers Nehemiah Glover and Bristol Olomua are both doubtful for today's game. Their absence has boosted the production of Tech's rushing game in recent weeks. The Red Raiders rank 112th nationally, but they have averaged 122 yards rushing in their last three games.
"Which is fine as far as I'm concerned," Leach said. "I don't mind rushing the ball when we get our chance."

Oklahoma State Head Coach Les Miles and Meatchicken
My apologies if most of you know all of this already - yit

(from Les Miles' Official Bio ...)
http://www.okstate.com/SportSelect.dbml?DB_OEM_ID=200&KEY=&SPID=143&SPSID=2403
Success has followed Miles at every stop of both his playing and professional career. He was a two-year letterman at Michigan (1974-75). During those two seasons, Michigan was a combined 18-3-2, had final Associated Press national rankings in the top 10 and participated in both the Rose and Orange Bowls.
He joined Bo Schembechler's Michigan coaching staff in 1980 for the first of two stints as a coach in Ann Arbor. In 1980 and 1981, Michigan combined for 19 wins and just five losses, won the Big 10 title in 1980 and played in the Rose and Bluebonnet Bowls, respectively. Miles left Michigan for Colorado, where he served on Bill McCartney's staff from 1982 through 1986. In his final two years at Colorado (1985 and 1986), the Buffs earned bids to the Freedom Bowl and Bluebonnet Bowl.
Prior to the 1987 season, he returned to Michigan, where he would spend the next eight years as part of one of the most successful eras in Michigan football history. From 1987 to 1994, Michigan won 71 games, made eight straight bowl appearances, including four trips to the Rose Bowl, and finished no lower than No. 21 in final Associated Press national rankings.
The 1989 Michigan squad finished 10-2, won the Big 10 championship and finished ranked No. 7.
That would be Coach Bo Schembechler's final season as Michigan's head coach.
When Gary Moeller took over the Michigan program prior to the 1990 season, Miles remained on the staff. The 1990 team finished 9-3, winning the Big 10 title and the Gator Bowl. The following season (1991), Michigan finished 10-2 and with a No. 6 national ranking. Miles coached some of the best players to wear the Michigan uniform, including eight first-team All-Americans, 10 total All-Americans and 12 players from Wolverine offensive lines that were NFL draftees.
He has worked with some of the most noted coaches in college football. At Michigan, he played for legendary coach Bo Schembechler and later served on Schembechler's staff. He also worked with Gary Moeller at Michigan and Bill McCartney at Colorado.
