which really doesn't help your point, since the ranking is nearly identical, and I think it's safe to say this board feels ND's schedule was wildly overrated. They had two good opponents, SC (who drilled Oregon with clemens) & OU (where he was hurt). But at the end of the day, this is an OSU board and an NIU thread.

We have a winner, ladies and gentlemen.

I'm not sure I follow the logic of G-Force coming on to a Buckeye board and trying to convince us that Garrette Wolfe would start on our football team on Saturdays. Plain and simple not one of us would be convinced by you or anyone with even more than a half a brain. Wolfe is a fantastic MAC player. Thats it. But he won't be playing MAC football on September 2nd. If G won't listen to the arguments that Wolfe is no different than the tailbacks we've already seen and stopped then he's just an idiot and isn't worth our time.

74 days until football season

Then we beat Northern Illinois

Then we shock the world in Austin

Come back home to crush Cincinnati

Then it's time to make some violin strings out of the nittany kittens

We take true revenge on Iowa in their own house
because you know last year wasn't enough

BG...MSU...Indiana...Minnesota...Illinois...Northwestern

Then we beat scUM...badly...JT wins his 5th in 6 years...his 3rd in a row

Then the Ohio State Buckeyes win the National Championship in "our house out west" in Glendale. Raise the Crystal Football!!

Carmen Ohio


Now THAT is foreplay. (and it lasted 4 months)

Looks like this game will be an instant Classic. 2 top notch programs fighting for a National Championship. Forget Texas. I only hope we can get a home win against these guys.
