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

I love how you MAC whiners are just looking for reasons to hate Ohio State. Your board is full of people who take things that Tressel and the players say and try to turn it into some kind of disrespect for NIU.

When do you suggest they get familiar with playing on the road at night?
The week before Texas...........


You know when you should be preparing for them.

Don't get me wrong though, overlook us some more.

He doesn't believe OSU will blow NIU out of the water. He think OSU "could" do that, but Tressel will coach this one closer than what people "like Mark May" (He actually said May) will appreciate for the number 1 team in the nation. They'll start questioning OSU's skill, whether they deserve to be #1 etc.. And then, of course, with Texas coming, the talk will be about how OSU has no prayer... It's Herbie's contention that this is precisely what Tress wants set up. Gets the W, makes it look "ugly" and maybe Texas drops their gaurd a little bit.

Football is a chess match that leaves you sore.
