You have been a "member" since '08. You have posted exactly 3 times. Do you ever actually read the site? There are many posts by many posters expressing their frustration with the way the O has been managed over the years.
You obviously do not like it when people differ with you opinion and say "I am taking my ball and going home" when someone doesn't agree with you. Well, welcome to the real world. Not everyone is going to agree with you, deal with it.
I guess you want John Cooper back, or maybe Earle Bruce, both of which never won a NC and never sniffed winning the Big Ten as many times in a row while running a clean program while stressing education.
I went to OSU also, so don't wave your "class of 78" out there as something that gives you better authority to root for this team than anyone else here. Get your head out of your ass and realize that your opinion may stink just like the asshole you have, because, you know, everyone has one.
I guess winning consistantly is not enough for some people. If you don't like how OSU wins, then go root for Oregon or UM since they have "exciting" offenses, this OSU train has plenty of sane passangers sitting tight, one less won't stop it. So, GOODBYE AND GOOD RIDDANCE.

If we make it to the title game, this will be a very magical year. Call me crazy but I'd rather have a close win than a comfortable 34-17 win. Think about it, would the 2002 Fiesta Bowl have been as special had it not come down to the final play of double overtime? Would that season have been as special had every game not been a fight for the entire season? Regardless of what happens, a title win this year would kick ass.
Not to think too far ahead though, we still have Wiscy and Iowa coming up. (Dare I mention that damn team up north?)

I see some similarity to the 2002 team in this one. Both had great defensive units, especially their D-lines, and both had offenses that were able to be held in check by a quality defense (Illinois this year). The Buckeyes needed some luck to go with their talent and hard work to win it all in 2002, and they'll need it this year.
My concerns about this team:
[*]Pryor still throws the ball into coverage/misfires too much. Indiana's woeful D does not count. I see him staring the 1st option down too much and expect he'll throw some bad interceptions in a big game or two. He's not yet where Troy Smith was as a junior in his decision-making. Of course, Pryor's athleticism makes up for some of that, but a turnover is a turnover. I hope I'm wrong about the INT's...
[*]Our O-Line still isn't an elite unit, though it's certainly good, and better than we've had in a while.
[*]Two of our starting nickelbacks would be backups if not for injury, though they are talented. Having Barnett and Moeller healthy would make our D that much better.
[*]We aren't featuring an elite quality RB. Boom is good but not great, Berry, Hall and Hyde don't see enough carries to qualify.
[*]It's a dead-horse, but it's true, Tressel would benefit from more pass calls on 1st and 2nd down, even short passes. This team can't get 4 yards regularly on a decent defense if they're stacking the box. We don't need to be flashy, but we need to be less predictable to earn more first downs against Wisconsin and Iowa.
The 2002 team had serious flaws, but their dominant defense, running game with Clarett, and Krenzel's anti-turnover decision-making and clutch passing (see Purdue and Miami) on 3rd and 4th downs led them to the title. I could see that happening again this year, but could also see them lose a couple games (from among Wisconsin, Iowa and the bowl game). If I were betting, I'd say they lose one of those, but my heart's holding out hope for another magical run to take another crystal football back to Columbus.

It just won't be the Championship game. :(

Uh..........we don't even have a chance at the Big Ten Championship if Michigan State runs the table, and I don't see them losing another game, except for the remote possibility of Iowa. Not pessimistic, just realistic.

True dat! We have to win that game (not to mention the other two) by close to blowout margins. I'll admit I was a little hasty in my MSU prediction-sorry. Here's hoping the Bucks don't read their own press clippings and win out.

On Iowa week all of the press clippings and every talking head on every network will be picking an Iowa victory by double-digits.
