"Historically, there are eighty bowl game appearances, ten national championships, fifty-five conference titles and eight Heisman Trophies between the two schools."
By my count OSU accounts for 36 of 80 bowl appearances (45%), 7 of 10 national championships (70%), 31 of 55 conference titles (56.36%), and 6 of 8 heisman trophies (75%). Are we even yet? Not quite yet.
"If the Buckeyes can get any push up front from Quinn Pitcock, it could make Vince Young breakdown and look to scramble sooner he wants."
Ha ha, he said 'sooner'. Burn!
"...last Saturday. Starting kicker Richmond McGee was four of seven on extra points, having two blocked. Don't excuse those two blocks, however, as the kicks were so low they probably would not have cleared the goal posts anyway."
4 of 7 on extra points? I'm thinking Josh Huston (this is not Mike Nugent, mind you) will put 4 of every 7 kickoffs deep into the endzone. And these will not be returned. I'm betting the house on the extra points.
"The Texas secondary seems very confident going into this game, citing their experience defending Roy Williams. That's fine if you choose to believe that. I can believe I can take a kick from a donkey in the gut, but I don't think I can take three or four of them all at once."
Can you say Cedric Griffin? Or you can you say who?? I knew you could! Tell Ced we've got more than one guy UT needs to worry about, and then when you see his head spinning, instead of asking him what the problem is, just grab him a bucket...or two...
"We haven't seen how he does when the pressure is on him like a t-shirt on a fat man in the deep end of the pool."
Now, that is just not the image I was hoping for before going to bed...and I don't care who you are...that's just not funny!!
"Against Joel Armstrong (yes, THAT Joel Armstrong) and Rice, they gave up 172 yards rushing."
Rice?? Rice?? Wait, let me look again...Rice??
Game on fellas!! Wow, I remember looking at the 2002 recruiting classes as they were being assembled, and UT ending up #1 and OSU ending up #2. Just knowing then that this game was already on the schedule, and wondering just how big it would be at that time, got my hair standing up. And to think all this time has passed and the game is even bigger than I had imagined. No one saw USC sitting where they are at that time, and the winner of this game is not going to be #1. However, the winner of this game will be #2, with a bullet. And to sum it all up, we are merely hours away from kickoff. YESSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Go Bucks!!!!
