Worth mentioning:
Since the 2005 season began, Ohio State is 33-4. In essence, the Miles era (33-6?). Nevermind that 27 of 33 wins are against MAC and D1-AA teams (6 are vs. scUM), we are proud of them nonetheless (73-15 in the Petey era...)
The 4 losses:
9/10/05 vs. Eventual National Champion Texas 25-22.
10/8/05 at BCS #3 Penn State 17-10.
1/8/07 vs. National Champion Florida 41-14.
11/10/07 vs. Rose Bowl Bound Illinois 28-21.
Notice there isn't a loss in there to a 40 point underdog at home (Spoiled Children), or a 21 point loss vs. a team we declare supremacy against (UGA-Tenn).
We don't have to justify to anyone why we are in the game again this year, and I can't wait to see the Buckeyes line up and prove their worthiness. This should be a great game.
Also, welcome again to all LSU fans. You will enjoy yourselves around here. I have seen nothing but class to this point, and that is just awesome. Good luck come game time.
