Haven't visited the site in a while and haven't posted in even longer. Just wanted to stop by and wish you guys luck against LSU. Hopefully OSU will be able to pull out a win against LSU and prove that the "SEC Speed" is just a myth.

Thanks!

You would think a win by the Bucks would help dispel this rediculous misnomer but I have a feeling that it may not matter. I think it's going to take even more than this bowl season to change the national media's perception.

When you consider the U of M win and the struggle UT had in it's victory over Wiscy, a Buckeye win should send a clear message.

that's mighty kind of you Wolverine. We'll certainly try to oblige. Great win against Fla. to send out Lllloyd on a high note. He's a class guy and deserved it. However, you might want to change your avatar if you continue to post on these boards.........it still riles up some of us older Buckeye faithful.

One thing is without a win from us the uM/uF game was a fluke and the big ten will be in a bigger mess.

That was not a struggle by UT, that is UT football. I have seen Fulmer sit on a 3 point lead for 2 quarters. In all of Florida's losses this year the lack of traditional running game showed. Remember LSU is not Florida, different teams and LSU does have a power running game to call on if necessary.

UT football is getting outplayed the entire game and only winning because the opposing coach is a douche? Interesting.....

I really really really really really hope LSU tries to run over Ohio State.

I would say Florida's problem this year was defense. Look at their results this year. If they don't score 30, they lose. In the game against UM, 30 wasn't even enough. They had to outrun/outscore people.

Exactly

Florida had one of the best offenses in the nation; arguably the best.

Their defense was 31 flavors of puke, especially against the pass. They actually covered better against scUM than they did much of the year, but scUM's receivers (and sometimes Henne) played very well.

If UF can get significant improvement in the defensive backfield, they will be very dangerous next year; and a definite threat to go for the title in Miami.

I was stating that a win from tOSU puts the big ten on an upswing but a loss and the scUM win is a fluke and the big ten is in the same media perspective or worse than last year.

Thanks for your wishes and congrats on the bowl win for Vloyd.

Thanks, Wolverine!! That's pretty cool to say. Congrats to you, also!!

I as well as probably everyone else on here appreciate the fact that SOME Michigan fans are rooting Ohio State on.

 

[OhioState49]

Thanks, and congrats on the bowl win against Florida. I don't think I have ever been proud to see Michigan win!

I don't think you need to prove that. I think that only came up last year because of the OSU/FU matchup (yeah, I am a big fan of FU ). I realize that both UM and OSU have plenty of speed. It's all about getting to the ball. LSU gets to the ball quick, but I am sure OSU does as well. This should be a good game. OSU will likely get two different major offensive looks from us. The first will be a more traditional smash-mouth, run-it-up-the-gut look involving Flynn and Hester. I am pretty confident we will see Ryan Perrilloux and when he comes in, you will get the spread offense at times. Should be interesting to see how you handle it. I don't think OSU will have a problem with it, it's just a question of whether we can get enough of a seam or lane to exploit things a bit.

Here's to a great game! :cheers:
