Go down the road to Buffalo Wild Wings on International Drive and have fun with a place full of Buckeyes. :wink:

Nascar Grille should definitely have the game on, and if they don't, one of the resort hotel lounges would have it on, I would imagine.

I'm hoping there is some place at Six Flags New England with TVs on the game, although it doesn't look like they have a sports bar in the park, so I may be out of luck.

BW3s is a damn fine idea. My son (whose bday is Friday and why we will be at Universal this weekend) commented on not having a BW3s down here to go watch a game (we do Bru's Room.) We have 3 Day park hoppers so that wouldn't really cramp our park time. Thanks for the idea!

No problem, its where I go to watch the season opener and scUM games, plus any other major games. You should be fine getting there within a half hour or so of kickoff. It will be very loud in there, though, so if you don't like a super loud dining environment keep that in mind. It is also very easy to get to from Universal. If you need directions/tips, feel free to PM me!

I'm hoping to hear that Braxton has more success with his arm than his feet on Saturday, but I'm not setting my hopes too high.

I base my opinion solely off of how people are when I go to the games.

Don't know where you sit, but I was in Sec 9, C deck, row 21 and it was plenty loud the entire game when UCF had the ball or OSU made a great play. They stood up when it was appropriate to stand up, they sang the National Anthem and Carmen Ohio and they gave out a big whoop when the drummers started down the ramp.

Granted, none of them showed up dressed like a scarlet and gray-furred wookie, or the Caped Crusader, or Big Nut...

I would have been 20 rows behind you.As far down as I could see....no one was making noise. That was probably about 10 rows worth of people.

And I don't count pre/post game stuff for the noise. I totally expect people to participate in Carmen Ohio, national anthem, and the band.

That 46 defense that they've run a bit can take a bit of getting used to. Of course, when you spread the field it makes them get out of their game a little bit, but you've got to be able to secure the ends and get up inside on the linebackers. If we can't do that we might have issues

A shootout turns into a blowout? How does that happen? Both teams come out strong with the Bucks up 35-31 at halftime, but then our strengths wears them down and we blow them out to a score of 77-38? Sounds like someone is playing too much Techmobowl....

I think we win.

If the score is something like 17-13 after the first quarter (each team scoring on three possessions in the quarter), that would constitute an early shootout. Then, if our defense settles down and holds them to a FG then rest of the way while we score four TDs, that turns into a 45-16 blowout. I've seen quite a few games where both offenses move the ball very well and score early and then one defense makes adjustments and shuts the opposing offense down.

From where I sit, the 46 defense seems like a bad match-up against this team.

Do you remember 1985? Do you remember how the Bears used that defense to dominate the league and the Super Bowl? Do you remember how the defense carried its architect, Buddy Ryan, off the field?

Do you remember who beat the Bears that season and how they did it?

The Miami Dolphins beat the Bears and their 46 defense that year. They did it by attacking the edges of the defense. They did it by having the statue, better known as Dan Marino, roll out. Think about that: They turned Dan depleted-uranium-shoes Marino into a roll-out quarterback for one game and they beat the 46 defense when no one thought it was possible.

Can anyone think of a quarterback who is better suited than Dan Marino for rolling out and attacking the edges of a 46 defense?

Unless it's the 1985 Chicago Bears that show up on Saturday, the Bears are going down.

Penn State 2 years ago is a great example of it. Going into the half, OSU was up 17-14. By the end, it was 38-14.
