I have a bad feeling.......that probably means we win though.

I think Texas takes advantage of a soft cushion on the outside, and chips away at the field 7 to 15 yards at a time.

I have feeling they load up on Beanie, and he'll still have a solid game, but ultimately our lack of a passing game hurts us.

I have a bad feeling, and it usually comes true. Not just nervousness, either.

Had a really bad feeling before USC. Had a bad feeling before Illinois last year. Had a bad feeling before the LSU game. Had a bad feeling before Penn State.

Buckeyes need to prove to me that my bad feelings are bullshit, and just coincidence.

(I'm not trying to say we're going to lose, if that's what it sounds like)

This one reminds me a bit of the cryami pre-game. 85% of the country and almost 100% of sport entertainment thinks Texas wins. Old number 10 rated meeting ex-number one. At this point, game attitude and mental enthusiasm will win this one. Let's hope Texas has a little bit of disrespect for our #10 tag in the polls.

Anyone talking about speed and athletes need only to look at Texas 06. They had an edge in raw speed & athleticism, and on paper had a number of mismatches. How'd that work out? Execution, consistency, experience, confidence concern me a lot more with texas than speed.

How about before Wisky 07, Texas 06?

I just love playing Texas...because I feel that Texas and Ohio State are two of the most similar football programs in the country. When it comes to Texas vs. Oklahoma, i'm always on the Texas side. I was happy for them when they won the NC. I thought they should have gone over OU this year. This rubber match is an important one to me. Next year is next year...and I am not sure how much impact this game will have on next year...sure the experience will have some...but just because you win the bowl game doesn't mean the next year will be good...just as just because you lose the bowl game doesn't mean it won't be good. Losing the Outback bowl to South Carolina before the 2002 season was a big reason why we came out on a mission in 2002. So I am not really worried about next year right now...to me, this game is about RIGHT NOW. I want to finish THIS season with a bang...and mark it down as another great year in Ohio State football.

For some reason the Lauranitis play can't remember if it was an int or fumble recovery when Tejas was driving in 06 sticks out in my mind. I feel a big play or 2 out of him

Texas was driving to start the game and things were looking grim, then James punched the ball out of the carrier's hands and Washington returned it to about mid-field.

That really set the tempo for that game, HUGE play.

EDIT: A little late...
