Game Thread THE GAME: #1 tOSU at tCun, Sat. Nov. 29th, 12 pm ET, FOX

Possibly, but still potentially criminal if there are people getting hit. Would you request that your ashes be sprinkled on ttun players in Ohio Stadium before the Game?

Criminal?! Associated with TSUN?! SIR! Wait...yeah that checks

I'm going to request my ashes be spread near The Shoe but I'm a Buckeye not a dirty cheating sonofabitch

I’ll be happy to do it with my shoe. But I won’t use my Birkenstocks.

But I thought I read that the Iron Bowl was going to pull the crowd.

Heard the same.

Absolutely agree.

The 2002 team may have been the least deserving NC in history. If six plays had gone a different way that team ccould have finished .500. And any of you young pups who aren't familiar with how those games played out you owe it to yourselves to do some research.*

But those plays didn't go the other way and that was an incredible year.

*I refreshed my own memory so here is a brief recap:

Scored with 4 minutes left against Cincinnati to win by 4.
Scored the only TD of the second half in the 4th quarter to beat Wisconsin by 5.
Needed a Chris Gamble interception return (which could have been called for interference) to beat PSU BY 6.
If you aren't familiar with "Holy Buckeye" against Purdue why are you even here? That was a 4th and ball game call to win by 4.
Beat Illinois by 7 - in frickin OT.
Intercepted a pass in the endzone with one second left to beat UM by 5. And this after taking the lead with less than 5 minutes remaining.
And the tension in the Fiesta Bowl itself was beyond description. The McGahee injury, the Doss interception, the Dorsey funble, the Clarett strip, the holding on Gamble. Just a few of the plays that decided that game.

Six close pays?! They had at least six in the last two minutes against Cincinnati. That team lived with one foot in the grave and the other on a banana peel. You gotta have heart must have been their theme song. Like this year, the defense was the strength of the team, Wilhelm, Smith, Doss, took turns playing Superman.

I think it was Lose Yourself, at least in the locker room before the Championship game.
