Game Thread Game One: #1 Ohio State 35, Northern Illinois 12 (9/2/06)

[jwinslow]

color me unimpressed at a prediction that the lone star on NIU's team will garner 100 'total' yards.

And "lone" star, haha that is funny.

good night (sweet dreams of Garrett putting up 100 total yards :p)

You're dreaming if you think you are going to hold him under 100.

Trash talk in May, gotta love it.

You'll see them on September 2nd. 1 of them is on my sig. The other one is our QB that was a Top 5 QB last year (he may not even be our starter), or how about our projected 1st round pick Doug Free?

Free and Wolfe may be our known stars nationally, but they aren't the only guys on our team that can ball.

The letters "GTFOH' come to mind. "Projected 1st round pick Doug Free"? I just Googled him and got this link which projects him as a second rounder. And if you have to start tossing out the names of offensive linemen as your "star players" (no offense to exhawg and others), you're hurting. Never heard of him until now.

The alternative may be that, given the evidence you have of backs who have corked off a 100 yard game against us, you need a bit of a reality check. Any chance that you may be a...?

And please Ohio State has Smith and Ginn, and to maybe an extent Pittman, outside of that there isn't any star power.

LOL. Jokes.

Dude.... if this were true, you'd better get on the horn to all those pre-season mags pointing to the Bucks as #1 (in many) through #5 or so. They don't seem to know what they're talking about.

I'm on your side but preseason magazines mean shit. Look at how many fucked up last year. Tennessee, Purdue, Florida St., Louisville, Iowa, etc.

Pittman should be a star, it's just too many analysts have got their heads stuck up their asses talking about "a healthy Adrian Peterson" and "a healthy Mike Hart".<!-- / message --><!-- sig -->

Yeah, I wasn't being anything more than tounge in cheek when I decided to use pre-season hype mags as some kind of authority.

In any case, unless the wheels totally fall off, OSU is a legit top 5 team next year. NIU? No.

again, you seem to lose track of comments made just a page earlier. I was poking fun at your 100 total yards prediction, which is hardly an accomplishment.

If Brit is a star on some level, then so are Gonzo, Boone, and Wells.

I dunno, 100 total yards against Ohio St., especially playing on a MAC team, would impress me.

G-FORCE, give us your early prediction of the final score.

35-24 Buckeyes

35-24 Buckeyes

If we go to the lockerroom with 10 minutes left and leave you guys to your own devices, you might score 24.

30 carries for 65 yards, 5 catches for 40 yards... that wouldn't impress me. Has wolfe ever lined up as a returner?

Actually, I think holding us to 35 is less likely than them scoring 24.
