Five more hours, Bill. Go watch some game film or something. You got this.

On a related note, after 2002, nothing gets me nervous as far as tOSU football is concerned. That year wore me out permanently.

I honestly can't remember the last I've been this nervous for a game. I wasn't this nervous during the Sugar Bowl and I wasn't this nervous for the recent NC games. Logically I truly believe the Buckeyes are better at every position except QB than the Ducks but Mariotta scares the holy hell out of me.

Getting ready to head over to Arlington. This will be the Bucks 3rd consecutive game in a dome, the Ducks 1st of the year. The last 2 games the crowd has been loud. Tonight the crowd needs to be insane and make things tough for the quackers.

 

[ExpatAkronite]

Listening to the local (Portland) ESPN/Fan radio affiliate. The desperation is really starting to sink in. Duck fan knows this may be their last shot. Mariota will be gone; USC is coming off sanctions and the PAC has made some good coaching hires the last couple years. It will be a glorious meltdown!

I love how Herpstreit (thanks Mili) proclaimed that nobody could call Oregon soft anymore, yet the idea still persists that the Buckeyes can't keep up with their speed.

 

[THEWOOD]

Anyone in Dallas give a breakdown of crowds? Im curious if it will be 75%+ Buckeyes?

Winding down at work now and finally getting sometime to check the interwebs. I am fucking pumped for this game.

Go Bucks!

OSU never seeing the speed/sophistication of passing attack from the PAC schools pre-dates SEC speed by 20-30 years.

Seriously. I've heard this shit since I can remember.

I'm disappointed I had to sell my ticket last minute but I'm really loving seeing tOSU plastered all over ESPN and the Big Ten Network. What a celebration of everything THE Ohio State University. I'm so excited about tonights game and I may have to utilize ESPN's Hometown Call on ESPN Classic over the TV so I don't have to hear Herby talk about "speed" and "space" a hundred times over.

Space ... the final frontier.

Physicality

don't ever forget physicality

usually used in conjunction with "in space", immediately after "speed"

Go Bucks!

Well watching ESPN it looks about 80/20 to me... not too much yellow/green out there. I think this crowd is going to be very one sided

 

[BUCKYLE]

About to clock in for a 4 hr shift, then do NOTHING until i clock out at 8 and drive 20 min to my television and go apeshit.
Fuck a duck. GO BUCKS!

 

[Bucknut24]

ok, who is the bastard that slowed down time today

 

[Abenaki]

About to go drink on the job. Work tailgate starting in a few. Fuck Oregon. Fuck Mariota. Fuck ESPN. Fuck Alabama. Fuck Michigan.
