COLUMBUS, Ohio — It's about more than one college football game or even one season. It's about standards that have been set — standards often compared but never settled.
Woody Hayes and Darrell Royal. Earl Campbell and Archie Griffin. The 'Shoe and "The Eyes."
This game literally is about dotting the "i" and crossing the "T" on who's better and who's best.
Texas-Ohio State has been more than 100 years in the making, with both teams stacking up historic moments that included everything but each other.
Their histories have been so similar, but never have they intersected. There's been Ohio State and its five Heisman Trophy winners and Texas with its two.
Until Ohio State won the 2002 national championship, there was the long wait since the Buckeyes' previous national title in 1968. The Longhorns' most recent national championship came a year later.
But it's more than that.
Egos bigger in Texas
Ohioans are pretentious about their football. And so are we. They think theirs is best. We know ours is. They are arrogant. And let's face it: When it comes to football, so are we.
That's why it gets under our skin when Buckeyes fans call it "The" Ohio State University. And when Texans claim God made the sunset burnt orange because he's a Longhorns fan, the folks in this Midwest cradle of football collectively cringe.
It's about respective runs at a 2005 national championship, sure. But the lure of this game goes so much deeper, which is why Buckeyes coach Jim Tressel admitted he actually started thinking about playing the Longhorns in the fourth quarter of Saturday's win over Miami of Ohio.
"I'm not going to lie," Tressel said. "We're anxious to be a part of a matchup like that. It's two states that love the game of football."
And therein lies the uniqueness, the importance, of these two signature football schools finally coming together.
A state of mind
Nothing about the winning traditions of Ohio State and Texas is imported. Except for the occasional Ricky Williams, who hailed from San Diego, or David Boston, who dared leave Humble High for the Buckeyes, both programs take pride in their roots. It makes Saturday's game different and, in one sense, more captivating than even Texas-OU.
Yes, the Red River Shootout is an amazing college football event. But like former Dallas Cowboys running back Duane Thomas once said of the Super Bowl, if it's the ultimate game, why are they playing it again next year?
Every October you can count on a thrilling Saturday afternoon in Dallas. But Ohio State-Texas almost never happens.
And because strength of schedule hardly matters anymore for big-conference schools, it likely won't happen again after the Buckeyes play in Austin next year.
Also, Oklahoma, unlike Ohio State, has no pretense about the players around whom its program is built. Nearly 50 players on OU's roster hail from Texas.
Ohio, however, considers Texas inferior.
"I have been looking forward to this since my freshman year, because Texas had the No. 1 recruiting class in the nation, and we were second," Buckeyes senior safety Nate Salley said. "So this will decide which one was better."
That's why it's about Massillon Washington and Converse Judson as much as it is an early jump on a 2005 title run.
It's about Canton McKinley and Katy High and high school football powers like Cleveland St. Ignatius and Odessa Permian as much as it's about captivating TV.
It's about representing the small-town legacies of Monroeville, Ohio, and Sealy, where a town's identity hinges on a football Friday night, as much as it's about representing college football superpowers.
"For most of us who are historians," Texas coach Mack Brown told reporters after Saturday's victory over Louisiana-Lafayette, "what a neat game."
All around Saturday's opener at Ohio Stadium, fans and merchants were locking in on the "Showdown at the 'Shoe" — as one popular T-shirt calls it — long before the Miami of Ohio game even kicked off. By Sunday afternoon outside the stadium, a vendor was selling shirts that read, "Don't Mess With Ohio State."
RVs are expected to begin pulling in for Saturday's game as early as Wednesday. Tickets are being sold for $1,500 a pair.
"When I committed to Ohio State my junior year of high school, I knew (the Longhorns) were on the schedule," said third-year sophomore receiver Anthony Gonzalez, who attended St. Ignatius, a longtime Ohio power. "I've been looking forward to it since then."
Who's better? Who's best? That's been a burning question for years.

Vince Young for Heisman

Howdy,
I think this is going to be a great game played by two of the best (not to mention excitting) teams in college football. I've been looking forward to this game since the Rose Bowl last year and can't wait to get out of class Thursday to start the long drive up to Columbus. As a UT student I am very proud of our football program and live for Saturday home games. That said, I would love to see what Ohio State football is all about and would appreciate it if you guys could recommend some good places for pre-game action. Thanks in advance for any help you guys can offer.
