Preparing for Camp Randall
Buckeyes head to hostile venue
By MATT MARKEY
BLADE SPORTS WRITER
COLUMBUS ? Wisconsin?s Camp Randall Stadium has a notorious reputation for bombarding the opposition with a painful sensory overload. The fans blur into a sea of red, the noise is something a decibel measurement can?t adequately measure, and the aroma of grilling brats and Eau de spilled beer envelopes you.

Picture an 80,000-person mosh pit composed of screaming banshees. Or conjure up an image of the ESPN Gameday crew trying to cover Woodstock. Or how about a full house at a NASCAR event, composed entirely of Dale Earnhardt Jr. fans, and they?ve had 12 hours to get fully tuned-up before the first engine is fired.

Stir up those illustrations, add a few circumferentially challenged guys stripped to the waist and decked out in blood-colored war paint, and mix in creative high-volume cursing that features the use of certain forbidden words in their verb, noun and adjective forms and all in the same sentence fragment. Throw it all at an oversized canvas, and you have a picture of Camp Randall Stadium hosting a night game.

Welcome, Buckeyes. On Saturday night, 14th-ranked Ohio State faces No. 18 Wisconsin in Camp Randall for the first time since the 2003 season, when the then No. 3 Buckeyes got ambushed 17-10. Wisconsin beat Ohio State again the next year in Ohio Stadium, and then the quirky Big Ten schedule took over and the two did not play again until last season, when Ohio State won at home.

So the Craig Krenzel, Michael Jenkins, Will Smith and Tim Anderson Ohio State team that lost to an unranked Wisconsin team at Camp Randall in 2003 was the last group of Buckeyes to experience the full monty from the Badger brethren. But the rich folklore certainly has found its way to the current group of OSU players.

After avoiding a trap game at Fresno State weeks ago, the Badgers found themselves badly wounded by the Michigan Wolverines in a heartbreaking 27-25 Big Ten loss Saturday afternoon.
Wisconsin head coach Bret Bielema discussed the defeat at his weekly press conference Monday.
?Since I?ve been here, we?ve only had to endure a loss six times,? Bielema said. ?It?s not easy. It?s nothing I want to ever get used to, but it?s something you have to endure. Our players made references to 1-0, and this is the mentality we have to take.?

Just think - DickRod will be able to say that this season!

I really like the way our offense matches up against their defense.

If our front seven on D play well, we should have that stadium pretty quiet by the time of the jump around.

I am always nervous about who OSU plays, if it's Troy, USC, Minnesota there is always that "well it could happen" factor. I definitley feel this way when we play Wisconsin. I remember it like it was yesterday and will be a day I never ever forget. Oct 2 1999, OSU was up at the half against Wisconsin, then Ron Dayne decided to show up.... Horrible day...

Anyways I don't like Tressel's winning percentage against Wisconsin(2-2), I don't like the fact that Wisconsin is coming off a loss, to unranked M*ch*g*n.

Bottom line- the game is on national tv, at night. Everyone is going to be watching to see if Pryor is as good as OSU hypes, is Wells really that good, & if the defense is over hyped. OSU hopefully will give the beat down to Wisconsin on national tv.

Northern VA was treated to the epic VT/Neb instead of psu/ill:(

So was north metro ATL. I had to watch the Bama v UGA game, and tried to GameCast from ESPN Ill v PSU game. Really pissed me off. I'm sure more people in ATL cared about Ill v. PSU than VaTech and Neb. But it's over now.

The key to this game is, scoring more points than Wisconsin.
