Game Thread FIESTA BOWL: tOSU 21, Texas 24 (01-05-09)

[bukIpower]

Well I thought NW did a better job than Texas against Missouri (especially on Defense). Now I know this doesn't mean anything in our game but if I do take a little out of it. Only way we get blown up this time IMO is if we come out afraid to lose.

Can you please repeat that? I believe I had something crazy in my ear.

I realize this is a relatively poor transitory statement, but I wanted to make it anyway...

Seeing Missouri and Okie State play this bowl season has given me an even greater sense of anticipation for the Fiesta Bowl.

Both teams have given me a bit of confidence that the Big 12 may not be invincible like the UNBEATABLE SEC (and all that speed, of course). But going off topic a bit, Robinson looked BEATEN UP tonight... It seemed like the entire 4th quarter he was holding his back out on the field.

This game can't come soon enough!

If we can beat the heck out of McCoy, the way Oregon did to Robinson, I think we gain a little credibility in the media.

Are we wearing throw backs in the Fiesta Bowl?

I've never been big on caring about uniforms, but I must admit, I miss the silver pants.

Doug Lesmerises snapped some shots of the Buckeyes during practice out west and it appears they are wearing silver pants! Are these just for practice or will they be wearing them during game time?

They look slick either way!

Umm, haven't we always worn silver pants?

not lately....they've been grayer, and not shiny. I think they changed with the new jersey, but could be wrong on that.

 

[Mac]

Nahhh, I don't think they've changed...although the Buckeye leafs on the helmets look more green than usual. hmmm

I'm with you on this one. Definitely no longer shiny. A boring gray now.

The fuck they haven't. The went from bad ass silver, matching the helmets, to almost white. They're see thru in the rain now. It sucks.

 

[.:.Brutus.:.]

I think they changed in 2005. It clearly looks like they are in silver in the photos and would be awesome if they brought them back!

 

[MaliBuckeye]

While I haven't seen other practice photos...

It could be that practice pants are old game pants, from when they were silver.

I can't imagine the Buckeyes having to practice in their game gear (since I didn't even do that in high school). But, knowing Nike, it could be some sort of new uni thing.

You know, like the new, greener helmet decals.

Don't lie.

You love seeing Beanie's soaking...wet...



beard.

 

[OHSportsFan]

Oh and pretty sure the old silver ones are just practice pants/old game ones.

Wish they went back to them, however.

 

[.:.Brutus.:.]

You guys are correct... Sorry for the wrong info or for jumping on something way too soon, however, after looking at some photos from other practices this year, it appears that the silver pants are strickly for practice use only.
