Glad you guys like the video, spread it around. The source and author are in the video, so distributing it will be great and help all of us addicts get through this next month.

On another note, we have hinted at how strong our 4.5 (40 yard dash) senior DE Mike Kudla is now that he's healthy (see this link).
Two weeks ago Mike broke his own OSU bench press record (565 lbs.) with a new mark of (585 lbs.) Broke it again, now at (610 lbs.)

Yesterday Mike broke his own OSU 225 lbs bench record (46 reps) with a mark of (52 reps).

This year a offensive guard from BYU (Scott Young) tied the NFL combine 225 lbs. record with (43 reps).

Pretty awesome to see that picture of Mike Kudla. Wow, what a beast. He has beat his own school record for bench press about 3 times now. And if I read correctly, his bench press of (585?? last I heard) was so much more than what was required. If I'm not mistaken, USC's record bench press was set pretty recently by a fullback, but yet not quite up to par with 500 lbs. Not to nitpick, and NCAA FB is not a weightlifting-contest, but it just goes to show you the difference between B10 and P10 football. Just another example of how if the right team gets ahold of USC, then realistically they would push their ass all over the field. All I'm saying is, for every surfboard picked up by the Trojans, there is just as many hot women in Ohio, and an ass-kicking waiting to happen. It might not mean much to a lot of people, but trust me, if you come across a team full of strong MF's like what tOSU has, against a physically weaker team, then I would just wish the best of luck to that team, because tOSU will use their size and strength and speed to make a fool out of said team. This goes as deep as OL vs. DL, apparently tOSU has higher standards when it comes to strength requirements. If you wanna disagree, fine, but show me ANYONE who can compete with what tOSU has going right now, and then consider that Butch Reynolds is heavily involved in speed training. Bring your A game.

i can't hold back any longer...

a Horn fan on another site asked why many Buckeye fans are predicting lopsided scores, when most Horn fans think that the game will be close... the final question of the post asked what we Buckeyes see that the 'experts' don't.
this is my response:

we see crappy, overrated big xii teams get SMOKED by real competition in Bowl Games (TxTech '04 aside, but that's a different story, Cal didn't want to be there... but that's okay, we shelled TxTech 45-21 when we played them a couple years ago) ...

come on, Okie State hung 35 on the Horns IN ONE HALF! the last time a Buckeye D got lit up like that was in '94 against a TREMENDOUS Penn State team... then that same Okie St team put up 35 on OU, and had a shot to tie the game up in regulation, yet VY and Co. managed ZERO points against the Sooners... we all know what happened when Ok St played the Buckeyes...

anyway, the same Sooners that shut the Horns out and faced a HORRIBLE Colorado team in the Big xii championship game, was exposed, for the second season in a row, i might add, as a COMPLETE FRAUD in the BCS Title Game... the Sooners didn't deserve to be there in '03, and they didn't deserve to be there in '04... do not forget that Ohio State drilled that very K State team that shellacked the Sooners 35-7 in '03... i don't need to remind you of the final score in the RRS in '03, do i? oh well, i'll do it anyway: THEY BEAT YOU 65-14... did that sink in? and we beat up the team that beat them up...

Ohio State has played three big xii teams in the last three seasons, and the combined score has been 113-56... that's an average of 38-19... wait, before you go on about the big xii lighting us up for nearly three whole TDs, remember that Tx Tech was the first game of '02, and we were not yet set on D. that's not the case this year... and lest you point out the 28 points that K State scored, you must remember that the game was FAR out of hand, and Tressel called off the dogs in the 4th quarter...

what does all that have to do with 9/10, you ask? you Horn fans might want to think that what happened in the recent past doesn't have anything to do with what happens on 9/10, but it has EVERYTHING to do with the outcome of the game... the big xii is overrated, Mac cannot win a big game, and he was only saved by LLLoyd Carr's COMPLETE ineptness in the Rose Bowl... what if Dusty had missed that lame duck kick? would you be flying so high then? no. people would still be saying that Texas will never win a big game while Mac is there...

on the other hand, Tressel has an OUTSTANDING record against top competition, including against the top team in the big xii (how many big xii titles does mac have?) and is a better coach than Mac...

talent is a wash... therefore, coaching and intangibles will determine the outcome... recent history has a lot to do with the intangibles... Ohio State has the edge in coaching, and intangibles, and with the amount of noise that 105,500 fans will be making that night, i will be highly surprised if VY gets comfortable before halftime... by then it will already be too late, and VY will be forced to pass in order to play catch-up, which will only serve to play directly into Ohio State's hand... i don't want to predict a final score, but 38-19 has a pretty nice ring to it...

I don't know about a lopsided score, but I do remember one comment the Texas Tech coach had after the game here a few years ago. His comment was about how his offense seemed to be a step behind all afternoon. I see this season's Buckeye D with just as much speed as the 2002 version. Texas will not come in here and dominate from a speed or physical game - it is not going to happen.

And if we lose on september 10th, and he doesnt play, I am blaming the loss on the Horns not having shipley available.

Ok. Blame it on Shipley (or lack of thereof). Blame it on your girlfriend interrupting you. Blame it on whatever type of beer you happen to be drinking, or the nachos or chips or pretzels you're eating. Blame it on the referees, the fans, or the "complete darkness" of Ohio Stadium. Blame it on Texas' highly-rated recruiting class. Blame it on the fact that Texas was "looking past" Ohio State to the RRS. Blame it on whatever you want to.

But whatever you do, DO NOT give credit to Ohio State for being the better team. Do not give any credit to the players, coaches, or playcalling. Remember, Texas has already won this game - September 10 is just a formality.

Yeah - the same formality as the 2002 National Championship game was. I'm not saying Ohio State WILL win (though I think they will). I just think that your statement was pretty funny. Do you think of excuses as to why your team lost this far in advance for every game?

Jebus Cristo, I was F'n kidding. Lighten up, every other reason why either team will win or lose this game has already been posted on this yarn, i was just presenting another.

all the same shi'ite has been said, the last post about intangibles and recent history, man alive, regurgitation, redundancy, etc. I know the thread is too long to read all opines and comments, but it would be nice to see current events on this thread. For ex. Okie State waxed UT in the first half last year, and tOSU smoked them. Michigan put up a shit load of points on UT. Those are common opponents, so we should compare those games, oh wait maybe we shouldn't, never mind we should. Man Vince has been working with Steve McNair being a better QB. That's not going to matter when AJ Hawk smacks him in the mouth. Ginn currently holds the unofficial world record the 100, it doesn't count because it was hand timed, but he did have pads on. Oh yeah, well Ramonce Taylor is better than Reggie Bush and Ginn combined. And UT almost lost to Kansas, wait, OSU lost to Northwestern, ouch, but wait, did you hear, OU smacked the living shit out of Texas for five years, and supposedly Stoops bought a bunch of land in Dallas and called it "The Longhorns," and he tried to register it with Dallas county, but the county clerk said, I am sorry Mr. Stoops, but that would be too confusing if you named it "the Longhorns", you already own the Longhorns in Dallas. Hey Ohio State beat texas tech a few years back, and Texas Tech beat Texas a few years back so that translates to don't come around the shoe. Whoa, I heard that Tressel won the National Championship. Yeah but that team won a lot of their games by small margins, so that means that they cannot have a strong offensive output on September 10th, The last time the Buckeyse played in the Shoe under the lights, all the Ohio State players wore ear plugs, and the other teams' ears started bleeding from the decible level, they broke the record for loudest outdoor stadium ever, and the thread goes on and on and on, and it looks like it will continue on this way.
Oh and by the way, did you guys hear that Mack Brown has never won a conferenece title. Vince changed his throwing style too.

(I wish that there was no college overtime, and that games ended in a tie, so that this thread would continue nonstop until next year's game.)
Anybody heard anything else recent?

That made me laugh.... Here is the most recent news that I have heard.

1) Charles has been cleared by the clearing house
2) Vince is still having troubles on he short throws but has managed to looked improved on intermediate and deep routs
3) Mack has said that Jordan's Hammy is not going to be a big deal. He spun the whole thing by saying that it could actually provide time for his knee to become 100% and be a good thing for the team in the long run. I hope he is right, sounds like spin control to me
4) The 5 extra lbs on Selvin are expected to help him be more durrable. They do not seam to be hindering is mobility and many around the team are speculating that this team could actually be a better running team than the year before do to overall coheisiveness(sp?). The offensive line is supposedly looking "very dominant"

Dont you just love slick willie Brown and his spin. It's good that Shipley went down with a hammy. Hopefull Vince breaks his pinky so that he can start throwing the ball better.

Very curious to see how they incorporate Charles, with Mack's history of freshman, etc.

any word out of buckeye camp? I heard Ginn looks sluggish and hawk has become too sensitive.
