Are the Buckeyes wearing the Home Scarlet, because they beat the #1 Team or some other reason?

Nope... Nike

wants to sell more jerseys .. this way they showcase both Home & Away

 

[LostLassie]

Jerseys for the game. OSU home, Oregon away

I hate the black numbers on top of the shoulders...there's something very Juggalo-esque about it.

It's a vintage OSU jersey (for once). It's just a weak design so they phased it out.

 

[Buckeneye]

I hate this and Nike for the design. Give me the road white's we had against Bama. I believe we're on a 3 bowl game winning streak with them.

Seriously, fan site aside, where have you ever found a totally unbiased opinion of sports/politics, whatever as "we" all look at any subject from are own experiences/perspective/biases. It's the nature of the beast that in order to be fully knowledgeable re: any subject, you first have to have had an innate interest that invariably started from your own background/surroundings ie prejudices/biases.

Even Vegas odds are more about the bottom line, than astute football analysis. When you think about unbiased opinions, you think of scientists and even they can't agree on everything ie climate change, etc.

My analysis: Since the talent level of both teams "appears" to be equal, tell me which team will be more focused/motivated on game day and I'll tell you who's gonna win. This is why predictions after a (4) week layoff is usually a crapshoot.

Edit: And this is why Meyer and Saban are such good coaches ~ focus/motivation ... oh, and they usually have the best players/talent!

We now return you to the x's & o's analysis of the game ...

Dude! Settle down!
Just asking people to give opinion about how their OL would match up with our DL...stuff like that, but (to the extent possible) not from the heart. I know it is hard.

Coach: Ducks will be disciplined

Several Oregon players are facing team discipline after celebrating their win in the Rose Bowl Game presented by Northwestern Mutual by apparently mocking Florida State quarterback Jameis Winston and allegations of sexual assault that have followed the 2013 Heisman Trophy winner the past two years.

Want to bet they won't be suspended for their next game?

They shouldn't be disciplined at all.

Not worried. Cape flying > Wing flying.

Per Bovada, 70 percent of the early money on Oregon. Line holding firm at 7, though, because book seeing "some sharp bettors on Ohio State"

Honest question for yall betters here... My brother goes out to Vegas yearly and every year he puts money, for me, on the buckeyes to win it all... only this year it list the NCG date as 1/5/2015... that shouldn't be an issue correct?
