Yep, I was there that rainy day. I don't remember it being particularly cold even though it was November. I do remember the Shoe going berserk when Spielman tackled Ronnie Harmon for a loss on 4th and one....

I recall when we lost to them under Meyer that they had a pro style offense and we had zero answers.
Is my memory serving me right? Plus the exploitation of sick and dying kids for their selfishness sake.
Wondering what they may try to pull on us.

Big Ten Football Week 8: Schedule, Preview and Best Bets for Iowa vs Ohio State and more
No. 2 Ohio State looks to stay undefeated against stout Iowa defense
Both Iowa and Ohio State are coming off byes last week, so both should be well-rested for this East-meets-West showdown. But 6-0 Ohio leads the nation in points per game (48.8) and has outscored opponents 293-94 along the way, including a 49-20 drubbing of Michigan State last time out. The good news for Iowa is that their defense is their strength – the Hawkeyes rank third nationally in scoring defense (9.83 points per game) and 7th in total defense (264.7 yards per game). But Iowa hasn’t faced a test like Ohio State’s passing game, led by junior quarterback C.J. Stroud, whose play has him in the Heisman conversation this season. Stroud, along with North Carolina’s Drake Maye, leads FBS in pass TDs (24) and is second in yards per completion (15.37).
Iowa players have embraced their massive underdog status this week. “It’s completely us against the world,” sophomore O-lineman Mason Richman said Tuesday. “I’m sure everyone is going to be picking Ohio State across the board. The mentality we have is we’re 70 guys getting on a plane against 100,000 plus over in Columbus.
Stroud, for his part, isn’t underestimating the Iowa defense. “This is football, man,” Stroud told reporters Wednesday. “No one fears us. We don’t fear nobody… I’m preparing for a lot of different things — different angles they can come at. So I’m not preparing for them to be super deep or up close. I’m kind of preparing for everything.”
One element that’s missing from the high-powered Ohio State offense is wide receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba, who’s been out since Week 2 with a hamstring injury. Buckeyes head coach Ryan Day said Smith-Njigba would need to continue to be evaluated throughout the week to determine his readiness for Saturday, but his teammates have been excited to see him more active in practice over recent weeks. “It can be historically great,” WR Marvin Harrison Jr. said of the Ohio State offense with Smith-Njigba back in the lineup. “I really don’t know what you do as a defensive coordinator.”
A capable defense is a great thing, but here’s a tough stat to swallow if you’re Iowa: the Hawkeyes rank last, 131st of 131 teams, in total offense, putting up a paltry 238.8 yards/game. Only four teams have put up worse numbers in terms of scoring offense – Iowa is averaging 14.7 points per game, ahead of just Colorado, New Mexico State, Colorado State and Massachusetts. This is Iowa’s second matchup this season against a top-five opponent (they fell to #4 Michigan 27-14 at the start of October) and unless the defense can come up with a true miracle, Ohio is likely on its way to 7-0.

It's funny, but one of the things I remember most about that game is that even with the steady rain all day, Hayden Fry's hair remained perfect. Even when he took his hat off.
EDIT: I forgot what a crazy game that was!

Sorry Iowa, I just put on my Spotify mlix to wind down and go to sleep but they played back to back TBDBITL tunes out of about 1200 songs! Now I'm freaking fired up and Iowa is in the cross hairs. Let's get it boys!!
All week the tone from media heads has been on purpose to challenge the Buckeyes to see if they really are the best "damn team in the land" because they haven't been tested. Why is it no one, outside of the smart BP'ers, have considered that they have been tested but they are just so damn good that they passed it with flying colors? I mean, we broke Notre Dame. We annihilated Wisconsin so they fired their HC. We haven't even been 100% and completely bitch slapped everyone after the very first half of the year vs ND. I think it's just fear. Fear is a huge motivator and fear is all the pundits have now because when their teams have to line up across from the Grey Knights of College football and the Silver Bullets start flying around, there is no turning back from the ass whipping. Ryan Day is a nice guy too, lucky for all the coaches not named Schiano moving forward. Otherwise, the records would be recorded with the names of every team in the BiG as the recipients of unbelievable torment. Well, I have a feeling that it starts in about 11 hours. The challenge has been issued and the Buckeyes are set to answer the call.
@Drubuck? @DaddyBigBucks? @brodybuck21? @LordJeffBuck? @pnuts34? @gmen6981 @Thump (get the burritos in early!!) and 100 other gameday BP Buckeyes... ARE YOU READY???? The clock is ticking on what may be the greatest season of our lifetimes.

Alright fellas, I’m leaving now from Indy to witness this beatdown in person.
Life has been really busy the last 3-4 months but it’s time for a break and this weather is too good to pass up, so I’m (finally) taking my wife to her first game in The ‘Shoe.
Go Bucks!
