Ok, so I did understand it. Maybe I just didn't understand what it had to do with Beanie and how good he is or isn't in the context of this thread because it seemed to come off,to me, as just an insult. I will go think on it. Thanks, Tao.

Don't be suprised if the game is still close in the 4th qtr. You guys are good but you are not unbeatable. Troy will not just come to play, they are coming to win. There is enough skill on this Troy team to cause you some problems. I'm not saying this because I'm a Troy fan. I'm saying this because I'm a football fan and I watch football and not just my own team. Of the 100K fans that will be at the game this week, only 10K of then will have ever heard of Troy and most of them will be from troy. Football now days is all about matchups. How many of you thought that Ohio would have played you that close a few weeks ago...Do don't match up well with teams who have a mobile QB that spreads you out on D...None of the Big Ten teams do....Remember LSU, FL, USC, ILL..they beat you because they spread you out and put there speed to work on you slow D....If they would have tried to play a power game OSU would have killed them..But you fans who don't watch anybody but your team or who just don't understand the game and matchups o-well. I'll see you in the shoe on Sat. Get ready to be there for the duration of the game because it won't be decided until late in the 4th qtr. This won't be a homecoming I'll bet you that..

I always thought man-child was more the Lebron in HS, or Greg Oden at tOSU, or Beanie last year. A young adult that plays like he's a 32 year old warrior in his prime. Exposing the children he competes against as the young pups they are.

Scrapy bunch on D.. The offense have a lot of skill players who can make plays, we are just not that deep. If we had any kind of rotation I'll take my chances with our team over all of the middle of the road BCS teams. It should be a good game to watch because of the skill that we have on the Offensive.

Thinking on it, and talking to OCBF about it, I did misunderstand originally. In sports parlance, it appears to be used as both a simple physical description and as a way of explaining a disparate skill vs age parameter. I knew the phrase solely as an almost insult, describing an emotional condition like a child in a person that is, age-wise, a man, aka emotionally immature.

Thank you for the help too, Buckyle.

no one with a brain is doubting Troy in this one

you guys run the scheme that kills us, will be fired up and catch us down. Thats a pretty good recipie for a close game or even upset.

If you are here, you are not an ordinary fan.

Especially if you are here right now, you are not an ordinary fan.

Fair-weather fans will sell their tickets to the Troy game. Some might still go, but will sit on their hands.

The team needs us, the true fans, more than ever. Right now, they need the true fans to stand up and show their support.

I've been in the stadium many times, and I've seen what a few vocal supporters can do. I've seen how my brother and I can get our whole section fired up; how our section and a few others could affect the whole damn 'Shoe.

Stand up. Get those around you involved. It might take awhile. You might stand out and feel self conscious for awhile. But they will take your lead. I know, I've seen it. I've done it.

Stand up. We may be disappointed in their performance. We may be discouraged and maybe a little disillusioned. But they are still the Buckeyes. They are still wearing the Scarlet and Grey. And they are wondering if we're still with them. They may not say it, but if you give them credit for being normal human beings; you know they're thinking it.

Stand up. Because the Buckeyes need you.

Stand up. Because you're not a fair-weather fan.

Stand up. Because it's time to show everyone what it means to be a true fan.

Stand up. Be a Buckeye... A real Buckeye.

The 05 SDSU game was low scoring. I think Troy will score some points on us. We better be ready to play because I'm positive they'll be fired up and confident that they have a chance after our last 2 performances.

Exactly. Honestly, I'm so baffled after the last two games that I have no idea what to expect.
