2008 Buckeye Football Season

i think that is a great article. i like the idea of coaches meeting at workshops and such during the offseason exchanging ideas and philosophy. it brings a lot to the game and makes the ENTIRE football community more like a family, regardless of who your team is.

NOTE: there is an exception.. michigan and penn state can f-off :biggrin:

Scout.com: 2008 Spring Preview - The BCS Will Be ...

BCS Championship
Florida vs. Ohio State
College football fans outside of Columbus might welcome this matchup as much as a kick in the store, but it could happen even if they each have a loss.

Make no mistake about it, like it or not, Ohio State is the most talented team in America. With James Laurinaitis, Malcolm Jenkins and Alex Boone all putting off their millions for another year, arguably the best kicking game in the country, Beanie Wells running the ball, depth everywhere, and Terrelle Pryor providing a possible bolt of lightning here and there, it'll be a shocker if the Buckeyes don't roll through the regular season, and that includes road trips to USC, Wisconsin and Illinois. Even so, there will be a collective groan if they end up in Miami instead of Pasadena.

Georgia might be the hot team going into the year, but Florida will be every bit as good if the secondary has overcome its growing pains. The D might not be better than Georgia's, but the offense will be unstoppable with Tim Tebow likely to be an even better passer, Percy Harvin on the verge of a monster season, and a real live running game ready to operate behind a line strong enough to push some people around. Even if the Dawgs lose at LSU and/or at Auburn, the Cocktail-Don't-Call-It-A-Cocktail Party might be for the SEC East, the SEC, and the national title. The Gators have to go to Tennessee, Arkansas and Florida State, but those should be manageable for a championship caliber team. It'll be the home date with LSU that could be the big problem, along with the Georgia showdown.

toledoblade.com -- OSU has chance for Big Ten first

"We return a bunch of guys who got to play," Tressel said about filling the few vacancies in the starting lineup. "I think we've got a lot of good talent. The key to us being able to do anything extraordinary is going to be how are we mentally. It's all about your attitude. It's all about your togetherness. It's all about how hard you want to work. We have a special bunch of guys."

he "Big Ten first" referred to in that Toledo Blade article is about getting a third stright outright Big Ten football title - which has never been done in the 100+ year history of the league.

Student tickets are on sale starting today. Now that I have mine secured I feel okay spreading the word.

I love the smell of Ohio State football tickets in the morning... it smells like... victory.

And the search begins. My goal is to find a group of students who don't care about football, but aren't savvy enough to realize they could make more money selling their tickets on ebay, instead of to me.

According to ORD the demographic you seek are all in Oxford or Athens Ohio.

Just fyi to everyone (or mostly students I guess). The student season ticket package includes the Minnesota, Purdue, Penn State, and Michigan games.

I would check out the local club scene. I'm sure the ladies will find it refreshing when you try to get tickets off of them rather than sex.

Why isn't Troy included in the season ticket slate this year? I always enjoy the "back at OSU, woohooo" first home game of the year.

It will be strange to be on campus, and watching a home game from my apartment.

Edit: Never mind. I guess its because we're starting on the 24th next year. Oh well, its not like I'll be missing much of a game.
