Ohio State Football

[Bswartz95]

We pissed off the Penn State fans, so let us do our talking here.

They know an ass-whoopin is on its way.

[saygdbye4134]

Sorry bro. Michigan fan here. blue and gold. i'm not gonna start shit. Just letting my blue and gold shine through. best of luck to you this season. And by the by, the big Eleven fucking ROCKS.

Fuck Ohio State...PSU is taking them down...

[onemoredrink41]

PSU what a joke!

all bucks this year dude!

Ahhhhh..right. You're not even the best team in Pennsylvania.

M*ch*g*n will be tough this year, no doubt. Hopefully, we'll have two undefeated teams going into the final week. :thumbsup

[Trippin4136]

Buckeyes are gonna stomp all over the 2nd and 3rd tier Big Ten teams. Iowa and scUM are the focus. We got lightning at WR and the best LB corps in the country. With even consistent QB play this Buckeye team could will be more dynamic than our 2002 championship team (my freshman year) and our D believe it or not may be even better. LET'S GO BUCKS.

P.S. - great to see a thread like this on the board. Props to the thread starter.

If our offense puts points on the board, look out. This team will be very dangerous. I don't see why we shouldn't score with our talent at WR. I'm not worried about the defense. Every article I have read says they are better than the '02 team.

Blue and gold? First of all, I hate Michigan. Being from Columbus, I don't know how I could not hate them. It's Maize and Blue, not blue and gold. I have never heard any Michigan fan say Blue and gold. Sorry. Go Bucks.

[proudest_monkee]

Ahhhhh..right. You're not even the best team in Pennsylvania.


Ooooouuuuccccchhhhhhhh.


GO BUCKS!!!!!!

[demar727]

i support this thread :thumbsup

The only football I watch are the Buckeyes.. my dad is from ohio.. so i was basically brought up to love the Buckeyes and the Indians..

but anyway.. its going to be another great season for the Bucks. even though they loss alot of players.. like Mike Nugent :shrug .. i think they can still pull it off and kick ass.. once again :D

[HolyCow]

umm... Boomer Sooner...

*leaves quietly*

[Third Floor]

ohio state football- we dont pay our players..... as much as our basketball program.

[onemoredrink41]

every fucking college team does illegal shit.. if you dont think so you are a moron.

tell me why every uk basketball player is driving suv's with 20 inch rims.. uh huh

[Bswartz95]

ohio state football- we dont pay our players..... as much as our basketball program.

Every university breaks NCAA rules, it's just a matter of getting caught. The NCAA has turned into a joke.

...and that basketball thing. Jim O'Brien is actually suing the university now because it was found that he did not illegally give money to players. Since he was fired, he's trying to get his contract paid in full.

Blue and Gold??

Sounds like a wolverine has ND envy to me! GO IRISH!!!

I hope Weis can turn things around- its been real real tough.




And by the way, the OSU fans that invaded South Bend a few years back were the most classless fans I've ever seen (and I've been to Fla. St. and Miami games). Michigan fans are great fans, always respectful.

The Notre Dame fans around here talk so much shit all season long, year after year. I get so sick of hearing about them. It's great to kick their ass.

And speaking of classless fans, when we went to Michigan for a game, they threw marshmallows at us that were frozen and stuffed with pennies. Talk about classless. All schools have idiots. Hell, go to a DMB concert and you'll see plenty of fools.

"Woody, can you tell me why, when you were up by 2 touchdowns, and after you scored another one late in the game, you chose to go for 2 on the point after?"

-Reporter asking Woody Hayes about going for two after a late 4th quarter touchdown against rival Michigan

-Woody's answer?

"Because I couldn't go for 3."

Go Bucks, Michigan sucks.

I agree this thread should be "THE Ohio State Football Thread". And that's true, what scUM fan says Blue and Gold. That's like a Buckeye fan saying Red and Grey. That just disrespectful to the tradition of your team. What a joke. How about all you trolls make your own thread and get the hell out of ours.

Ted Ginn Jr. is gonna make all your secondaries and special teams look like pop warner teams.

Yeah, too bad there's no way to change the thread title. Oh well. When I made it I was a little pissed at the fans of the blue and white kitties. We've got more trolls than they have.

They hate us cuz they ain't us. Go Bucks!

[brianlisk]

As seen on a Blue and Gold bumper sticker. "Directions to Columbus: South til you smell it, East til you step in it"

[Trippin4136]

As seen on a Blue and Gold bumper sticker. "Directions to Columbus: South til you smell it, East til you step in it"

As seen on a Scarlet and Gray bumper sticker: Directions to Ann Arbor: North till you smell it, west till you step in it" - both schools have the exact same shit man. Any piece of clothing, bumper sticker, poster, etc that you find in Ann Arbor you find in Columbus, and vice versa. 'Cept our "Ann Arbor is a Whore" shirt.


And isn't it MAIZE and Blue? I will redirect you to my earlier comment.

And its not even the same guy, its multiple people in this thread saying it. :lol What fools.

[brianlisk]

Ann Arbor is a Whore Funny.

And I don't give a crap about the colors. I'm not a Michigan fan... I just saw that on a bumper sticker and it was the first and only one I've seen.

I love the Ann Arbor quote, though!! Very nice.

[Trippin4136]

Funny.

Well better off making that known before you come in a thread like this. Represent yourself the wrong way and you'll get burned. Good to know though, you don't want to be a scUM fan anyway.

Funny how people were talking shit last season about Michigan... saying they would beat OSU, funny who came on top with their "young" team.

[ousooner]

How many of you guys remember or have seen the Ewe von Schamann field goal with six seconds left in Oklahoma's 29-28 win over OSU in 1977? You remember don't you? OU scored with a couple of minutes to play. Went for two to tie. Missed. Recovered the onside kick. Got in field goal position. During the timeout, the Ohio St student body started a "Block That Kick" chant. Von Schamann decides to go over to the Ohio St student section to lead the cheer. Waives his arms for them to get louder, and acts as if he's conducting an orchestra. Then he procedes to go out and kick a 40+ yard field goal right down the middle. The OU team rushes the field for a dog pile. Man, what a beautiful moment. If you haven't seen it you can always catch it on ESPN Classic sometime. What a classic it was.

[onemoredrink41]

okay that was years ago.. no one cares no offense.

[ousooner]

okay that was years ago.. no one cares no offense.
Hmm, ESPN seems to think people care when they run it on Classic every season. It was a great game and I was just reminissing about the last time our teams played each other.

Thanks for illustrating my earlier point so clearly. Classless

And I detest UM as much as anyone. But I do respect them- when you talk about the history of football, there's only two schools that even enter the conversation, UM and ND. Period.

[ExistenceNow]

sorry to break it to you buckeye fucks, but your first loss of the season is going to come very early, at the hands of THE University of Texas.

[Bswartz95]

Perhaps you'd like to post Notre Dame's all-time record versus Michigan? How about versus Ohio State? Would you like me to do the honors? And why won't ND football join a conference? I'll tell you why. Because it would guarantee them at least 2 losses every year.

[Bswartz95]

That's what everyone said when we played Michigan last year, Oklahoma State in the bowl game, Kansas State in the bowl before that and Miami in the National Title game.....whatever.

Notre Dame, at the moment, is the top program of all time. Everything after that is debatable. You can rank them using many categories. Wins, winning percentage, conference championships, bowl games, bowl games won, Heisman Trophy's, national championships. You could also use national championships since 1950, which is valid since the level of competition was not nearly as strong before that time as it has become since.


Here's my list with some random statistics off the top of my head

Top 5 (no particular order after Notre Dame)
Notre Dame (8 national championships)
Oklahoma (7 national titles (all since 1950), 39 conference championships, 23 bowl championships, 4 Heisman Trophy's, 47 game win streak (division 1 record)
Michigan
Alabama (7 national championships - will claim 12+, but only 7 are legit)
USC (7 national championships - will claim more)

Next 5 (no particular order)
Nebraska (5 national championships)
Ohio St.
Texas (3 national championships)
Miami (5 national championships)
Penn St.

Nice post! It's interesting when you look at ND's head to head results against top programs. They don't look so good then.

Good luck to the Sooners. They look to be strong for the next couple years.

[blsc1121]

sorry to break it to you buckeye fucks, but your first loss of the season is going to come very early, at the hands of THE University of Texas.

At least we play a challenging non-conference schedule. Here are some of the big non-conference teams OSU will be playing over the next several years:

2005: Texas
2006: Texas
2007: Washington, Syracuse
2008: Fresno St., USC
2009: USC, Washington St.
2010: Miami Fl., Syracuse
2011: Miami Fl.

Also, there are rumors beyond this that OSU is trying to schedule some games with Florida State and Virginia Tech.

Michigan has Notre Dame and.......? Not much else. You can't bash OSU for getting beat by National Powers when we have scheduled a non-conference game with many major powers in the next decade.

Bar none, Ohio State will have the hardest non-conference schedule of any Big Ten team over the next decade. No way you can deny that.

You have to play and beat the best to be the best.

[Trippin4136]

totally. we want to test ourselves out of conference. Who does scUM play non-conference this year? Eastern Michigan, ND, and Sam Houston or some BS?

Oh yea, and this is an OSU thread. So how about you Big XII pissants go make your own thread.

[onemoredrink41]

let's go bucks!!

do ya'll have the bucks red rubber band??? excellence... tradition...

[SatelliteEyes]

I am sure Buckeye Fan is happy to see Wisconsin NOT on the schedule this year since we have owned you guys 2 years in a row and 3 of the last 4.

[Bswartz95]

Michigan's schedule includes the powers of:

Northern Illinois 9/3
Notre Dame 9/10
Eastern Michigan 9/17

*and in '06 they add Central Michigan.

I know here is a phone number out there where you can order those bands...which I could give it to you, but I do not remember. I don't think you can just go into a store to buy them.

[onemoredrink41]

Where do you find them?

i wasn't defending Michigan... i go to UT and was just talking shit...
and when you play in a conference like the Big XXII south, it's pretty ballsy to take on a team like OSU in non-conference play.

[Bjkennedy24]

Nice thread! Grew up in Dublin, still a Buckeye for life.

We are stacked this year! Rock-Solid D and an unbelievable 1-2 punch at WR with Ginn Jr and Holmes. Troy Smith looked like a young Donovan McNabb last year, just hope he isn't rusty against Texas since he has to sit out the Miami (OH) game. So is Pittman going to be the man at RB or will Wells take the country by storm as a freshman?

That Texas game is going to be HUGE!!

I'm going to the OSU-Minnesota game on Oct. 29th, probably the only one I'll be able to make. I got an AJ Hawk jersey for Christmas last year, I will be rocking it at the Dome that day. (And every other Saturday).
Michigan, you guys are fucked as long we have Tressel. He's our secret weapon!

Greetings up in Gopherland! It's always great to hear from Buckeyes in other parts of the country. It looks like Pittman has an edge at running back. It also looks like we are very deep at WR beyond Ginn and Holmes.


Sophomore Antonio Pittman is coming off an impressive spring showing and unquestionably has the edge, but redshirt freshman Erik Haw and true freshman Maurice Wells will have ample opportunity to strut their stuff.

My favorite quote:

Ginn simply takes speed to another level. NO DEFENDER EVER has an angle on him when he gets in the open field.

And when you play in the Big Ten is ballsy to take on a team like Texas. Regardless of what people think of the Big Ten, lack of big time offense, too much defense, whatever...Big Ten teams beat the shit out of each other ever year. Nothing like seeing a tight low scoring defensive battle in November that could be won a single huge play IMO.

[Bjkennedy24]

Whoever wins that Texas-OSU game will get a huge boost once the BCS rankings come out.

[malonestar]

Who's got tickets for the season opener vs. MU?

[onemoredrink41]

Not I... and Miami sucks.. anyway, tix should be easy to get atleast for that game.

[blsc1121]

Man, I'm getting more and more excited for the season, especially after the year the Reds are having. I won't be going to any of the games before school but I will be there in "Block O" for all 4 Big Ten games during the school year. I can't wait to get up to Columbus and buy a new football jersey for this year. I got an AJ Hawk jersey last year, but this year I think I gotta get a #7. I'm gonna get the white away one just to get something different. I was also thinking of just getting "Heisman '05" stitched on it ;)

I found this from the Dayton Daily News "5 Questions with..." segment with Nick Mangold yesterday:


Q: What's the last concert you attended?
A: "Dave Matthews Band in Columbus. It was weird in high school, I had a bunch of friends who really liked Dave. But I didn't get into him much. In college, being around (teammate) A.J. Hawk, he's a huge fan and passed it on to me. I've become a pretty big fan myself."


Pretty cool to see not only are the OSU guys good football players, but they also have good taste in music.

I can't wait until Jan 2006 when the Bucks will be playing in the Grand-daddy of them all for the Natn'l Title!

[malonestar]

I'm not going to post in the Penn State thread because we'll piss them off again, but I find it amusing that they think if they start 5-0, they will beat the Bucks.

Let's look at their first five games:

South Florida (H)
Cincinnati (H)
Central Michigan (H)
Northwestern (A)
Minnesota (H)

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think the Buckeyes might be just a tad better than those 5 JV teams.

There is something to be said for momentum and confidence. I would agree that their chances would be much better if they go in 5-0 instead of 4-1 with a loss to Minnesota. It would be a completely different atmosphere. I remember during the 2000 season thinking if we could just beat texas and get to 5-0 then we might have a shot at KState next week. We did beat texas and things just kept rolling from there. You never know!

I agree! Confidence and momentum are very important. I think that is what has helped the Bucks in their previous bowl games. I just find it amusing that someone can say, "we will win the OSU game". That's a bold statement. Perhaps, "better chance" would be more appropriate. Too much confidence can be a killer. It's going to be a completely different ballgame than their first five. But this is all pointless because the chances of Penn St. being 5-0 are slim.

I'm anxious for 9/10 vs. Texas. :multi

[malonestar]

I grew up in NE Ohio, but for the past ten years have lived in central Ohio. I live in Blacklick (east side near Gahanna/Reynoldsburg).

I work basically right there....right near Lucent on Broad St. But I live up at Easton. Grew up in Cleveland too.

[Trippin4136]

Where in Columbus are all you CBusers from?

I'm not born and raised in Ohio. I grew up in NJ (hence all my NY shows) and still go home there for summers (where I am right now). But This will be my last quarter at OSU coming up meaning one last football season and a crazzzzy 3 1/2 months.

[CrashIntoThis]

I am a HUGE Buckeye fan!! Can't wait for this football season to start! The only bad thing is my boyfriend is a Michigan fan.. so one of us is going to bad mad at the other on the day of the OSU vs. Mich game, depending on who wins this year. GOOOOOOO BUCKS!!!!!

[Trippin4136]

Any OSU students on here? If so, where are your seats for this upcoming season? Being a senior, I am 40 yard line, 13th row!! Can't fuckin wait for that.

[CrashIntoThis]

I made a bet with one of my friends today (who happens to be a Michigan fan) on the OSU vs. Texas game. I hope we do alright.

[onemoredrink41]

I am trying to get OSU/miami tickets. there are some on Ebay, sure I won't win them, but i am trying. The only tix I can get are for the San Diego game because they are still avail on OSU's website. Of course the seats are shitty.

decisions, decisions.. :shrug

[RJ2kWJ]

Not I... and Miami sucks.. anyway, tix should be easy to get atleast for that game.

Im gonna absolutely laugh my ass off if they take Miami too easily and get mollywhomped on. :D

[Bswartz95]

Im gonna absolutely laugh my ass off if they take Miami too easily and get mollywhomped on. :D

They won't take them too easily. It's the opener! The place will be rockin'.

[onemoredrink41]

They won't take them too easily. It's the opener! The place will be rockin'.


So true... I guess that is why I want tix, I mean hell if OSU kicks their ass it will be exciting... sure the game opener will be better than San Diego State, which is avail at the OSU site. those seats are shitty.

[dmbfan100]

Its that time of the year fellas, i expect only big things this year....Go Bucks!
In tressle we trust

[Trippin4136]

I expect very big things. If our running game can do anything positive this year, our passing attack will be nasty, and our D will shut everything else down. Will Huston be clutch? That's the question. FGs definitely saved our asses many times over the past few years.

[Bswartz95]

When you look at this team: the speed, the skill positions, the depth, the solid defense, the experience.... this team looks scary. I cannot wait for this season. :bounce

GO BUCKS!

[onemoredrink41]

Go bucks! sitll winning tix on ebay, hopefully I win them... haven't been to an OSU game opener..

[dmbmuskie]

I normally don't like to make outlandish OSU predictions like so many fans I know do, but I feel really good about the team this season. They offense should be as explosive as any in the nation through the air, and I expect that one of the kids will step up and establish the running back position. The defense just has too many adjectives available to describe it. My ticket connection doesn't exist any more, but I hope to make a few games.

[CrashIntoThis]

11 days until the first game of the season!!!!!!!!!!!!
GO BUCKS!! :)

[onemoredrink41]

okay again i am trying to get tix and on ebay, i ask them before i bid if they are student tickets because they dont say if they are or not, well they are and a dude said an ID would be provided what the hell? do they not look at the picture on the ID? all he said he is need a VALID ID? sounds pretty shady to me? Anyone else know?

[dmbmuskie]

That definitely sounds shady to me. I miss the good ole days when they didn't ID you coming in the gates.

[onemoredrink41]

Yeah, obviously too much scalping , students selling tickets, and OSU tix are hard to get. I am winning some at the moment, that are really good seats. I am sure I will get outbidded. There's still San Diego state tix avail, but I'd rather hit up the game opener.

[blsc1121]

Students do have the option to pay to upgrade their tickets so others can use them. If the student goes to the ticket office and pays the difference then the ticket can be used by a regular person. Also, from what I hear, you can pretty much use a fake ID if you are smart and get in. Just take an ID, put your picture on and give it a try. I heard last year about kids doing it and just going around until they found a gate they could get in.

too risky considering I am driving 3 hrs. So hopefully I win these non-student tickets and not have to worry about that.

[dmbmuskie]

Does the student have to pay the upgrade or do you?

[Bswartz95]

Does the student have to pay the upgrade or do you?


I believe the student must take their ticket to the ticket office and show their OSU ID before it can be upgraded.

[blsc1121]

I believe the student must take their ticket to the ticket office and show their OSU ID before it can be upgraded.

Yep, that's correct. I believe they pay the difference between the student ticket cost and the regular ticket cost, about $30.

[dmbmuskie]

That's not that bad. If you wanted to sell it you could still make some profit on it.

[Bswartz95]

Go Bucks!

:thumbsup :thumbsup .... 7 days!!

[onemoredrink41]

Let's go bucks, I went to the Buckeye Corner at the Easton town center last night, never been to that mall, WOW! it's so big it's overwhelming, They have everything there! I ate at the Cheesecake factory. Anyway, had to stock up on Bucks stuff since you can't find shit in Ky. I bought a hoodie, soccer tee, sticker, plate frame. Ready for football season.

My friend is an ALUM and she got tickets for the Texas game, Lucky ass. I can't even get tickets for the Miami game. I keep getting outbidded on ebay and refuse to pay $100 for a ticket.

Ohio State Football to help victims of Katrina:

http://ohiostatebuckeyes.collegesports.com/genrel/090105aaa.html


Athletics will donate $2 from every program sold at four September home games to the American Red Cross Disaster Relief Fund. The games are Saturday against Miami University, Sept. 10 vs. Texas, Sept. 17 vs. San Diego State and Sept. 24 vs. Iowa. The programs will cost $7, and a total of 76,000 programs will be available for those four games.

Additionally, cash donations will be accepted at seven locations in Ohio Stadium where merchandise already is sold and the locations are secure: gates 11A, 12A, 23A, 24A, on the Huntington Club level, in the South Stadium area at gate 39A, and on the East side of C deck, at Section16.


They should raise some serious money from these games. Go Bucks!

[onemoredrink41]

Go bucks!!! Glad football season is here, now get the cool weather!!!! one of my favorite seasons fall!

[Trippin4136]

According to ESPN.com this weekends game v. Miami is on ABC @ Noon. The other game @ Noon is Oklahoma v. TCU. I'm still back in Jersey for this weekend (going back to school the 8th), hopefully I don't get shafted out of watching the Bucks.

P.S. - they better not overlook this game. Much like BGSU/Marshall the past couple years, Miami is going to bring the pressure. But what's the stat? The Bucks haven't lost an inter-state home game since like 1911 or something?

[golf87]

Good luck against UMICH at Ann Arbor. GO BLUE!

[Bjkennedy24]

Why do the scheduling gods do this to me? The OSU-Texas game next weekend is my girlfriend's birthday! She's not from Ohio, she won't understand that I HAVE to watch this game.

On the bright side, I got 10th row tickets to the OSU-Minnesota game at the Dome in October, I am psyched, I haven't been to a Buckeye game in a few years.

I can't wait to watch the Miami game tomorrow!

[onemoredrink41]

hell yeah! Nothing like college football, I enjoy much better than NFL as well as college bball.. but anyway, go bucks!!!!!!! shouldn't be a really difficult game, but hell you never know anymore. And go cats, even though I know Louisville will kick your ass!

[blsc1121]

Can't wait till tomorrow. I wish I had gotten tickets, but things didn't work out so I won't be too mad watching at home. I can already feel the excitement thinking of the atmosphere that will be Columbus tomorrow. The traffic as fans arrive at 8 am or earlier to begin the tailgates. The morning mist as the first beers are popped open and the first food hitting the grill. The excitement around 10 as the band performs in the skull session then marches out over to the stadium. The green of the field as fans enter into the stands and first survey the Horseshoe.

Then, as kickoff approaches. TBDBITL will come out onto the field to ramp and then fight the team. The first kickoff as the entire sea of scarlet and gray yells "O - H - I - O."

Then, the great parties after the game as for one afternoon, everything will be perfect in "Old Columbus Town."

Damn, wish I was at the game, but I will enjoy it at home and enjoy with friends tomorrow.

It's a great day to be a Buckeye....kickoff is only about 11 hours away!

lets go bucks!! love college football! nothing like fucking michigan weekend!

[Bswartz95]

20-0 at the half. Our defense is living up to expectations so far.


Side note, Oklahoma down 10-0 to TCU :eek

[Trippin4136]

thoroughly dominating. Offense looks great, defense looks even better. But, FUCK ABC for cutting to the OU-TCU game during our game. So OU is losing by 3 in the 3rd QTR, who GIVES A SHIT. Peterson left the game with a sprained ankle. Good the one play maker in this game is out. GO BACK TO THE BUCKS!!

[Bswartz95]

Great game back the Bucks! They look solid. Defense looks even better in action than on paper! We have 3 quarterbacks capable of taking snaps. Bring on Texas!

[blsc1121]

Good win, OSU will have to play better next week if they want to win. We missed several scoring opportunities in the first half where we settled for field goals when we need to punch it in for the TD. Minus those redzone troubles, it was a big win. Nice to Zwick come out and play well. He should start next week with Smith coming in later to add some different looks. Also a good performance by Pittman. I hope he can continue to mature and help the running game step up this year and be dominant like in 2002. I hope OSU can have a great week of practice and come out and mess with Texas.

How about OU? Less than a minute left and I'm shocked they are going to lose. Unbelievable, but we have to keep rooting for top 10 teams to lose to help secure OSU on their way to the National Title game!

[onemoredrink41]

did yall see zwick's red eyes?? pretty cool! go bucks!

[dmbmuskie]

I thought we looked good. I'm glad we abandoned Tressel ball. I think we still held back a little, because I have to imagine us throwing the ball down the field more with our explosiveness.

[Trippin4136]

Yea we will definitely have to cut down on small mistakes but I'm sure Tressel will imbed that in their head this week. How about Donte Whitner's recovery? Makes the stupid penalty, then the very next play makes the big INT return. Very cool stuff. I love that the Buckeyes are back. Texas and Iowa will determine our season.

Also, can't believe Oklahoma lost. That doesn't end their season, but puts a biggg wrinkle in it.

[demar727]

great way to start off the season

OSU, has a great defense!!!!!

[blsc1121]

Any word if Gameday will be in Columbus for sure next weekend? I heard a couple days ago that it would be through a friend and I can't imagine there's a bigger game out there. Even though I didn't get a ticket for the game next week, I'm thinking of heading up for Gameday because it will be one hell of an atmosphere. I might even just stay and tailgate in the lot with some friends and watch it on tv....decisions, decisions...

[Trippin4136]

I would have to imagine it will be. The only other marquee matchup I can think of off the top of my head next weekend is ND/scUM. So I'd say yes.

[CrashIntoThis]

Those Buckeyes looked GOOD today!! What a way to start off the season! :thumbsup There were some mistakes here and there that could have been avoided, but hopefully that will be cleaned up at practice next week. I'm anxious for this OSU-Texas game... it should be a good one.
And I looooove #80- Ryan Hamby!

[blsc1121]

Big decision here that I'm surprised hasn't gotten any talk:

Zwick or Smith next week?

I'd have to say Zwick earned the start with his performance this week. He has kept his nose clean, worked hard, and it showed in today's great performance. I think he starts and gets at least the first several series. Then, if the offense is struggling or he's not performing, Smith gets a chance. I'd say keeping this mum until the end of the week will work best for Coach Tress, then Texas won't have any clue who to plan for. Smith can hopefully play some meaningful minutes off the bench to give that extra running dimension to the quarterback position.

[Herrminator]

Goooooooooooooooo Bucks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I think Tressel already said that both QB's will play. It's only fair to let Zwick start. Plus he's in a rhythm and fresh off a nice win. It's a nice problem to have!

Go Bucks!

[dmbmuskie]

I'd go with Smith, just because I think he fits the new style of O they were running. Adding a bit of spread option to the attack would be amazing. I think Zwick is a more accuarte passer than Troy, but the majority of the throws Zwick made yesterday were less than 5 yards. I don't think they can go wrong either way.

[Bswartz95]

Is anyone else dying for Saturday to get here? I cannot wait. This game is so huge. Lane Avenue............here I come!!! :bounce

[raid24]

im gonna be in denver for RR next saturday but dont have tickets to saturdays show- is anyone else from out of town in the same sitution as me??? i wanna find some bucks fans out there to watch the game with! GO BUCKS!!!!

[Trippin4136]

I'm heading back to school on Thursday, so I'll be there. Have fantastic seats as well. Can't wait. We gottaw in to shut up everyone who doesn't believe this team can win it all.

Back in C-bus, about 48 hours to go till the showdown at the Horseshoe. Definitely time to top this shit.

Gameday is definitely going to be in Columbus on Saturday. Only downside is that Nick Lachey (aka the most overrated man in the world) is now a campus reporter for that show and will be at the game as well.

Two days until Texas makes its first visit to the Buckeye State and finds out how we do things up here.

GO BUCKS!!!!!

:multi :multi

[Bjkennedy24]

Tressel once again has proven he is a genius. Why wait to announce a starter early in the week? Make Texas prepare for two completely different QBs. Personally I think Smith should be the man, he earned it by coming up huge against Michigan last year. I have never been so excited about a Buckeye offense, teams are so worried about letting Ginn beat them they leave everyone else wide open.

[Trippin4136]

Texas fans seem to be talking a lot of smack about how they are going to roll into C-bus and stomp us. We have only lost at home 1 time since my freshman year and have 36 game win streak vs. non-conference opponents at home. That bodes very bad for anyone, including Texas.

From ESPN: Texas-Ohio State Tickets Hard To Come By (http://sports.espn.go.com/ncf/news/story?id=2155779)


Tickets are at a premium. Sellers on eBay are asking up to $1,500 for a ticket with a face value of $58.

There were 67 ticket ads in Thursday's editions of The (Columbus) Dispatch. They ranged from the warm and familial, "Father/son need two Texas tickets" and "Dedicated group of OSU fans and alumni need tickets" to the succinct "Two OSU-Texas tickets, $2,500."

[dmbmuskie]

Somehow my brother, who could not give a shit about Ohio State, is going to the game for free. I've never disliked anyone in my family more than him right now.

[demar727]

i cant wait till the Michigan game


so i can rub it in a kid's face..and he says is "Michigan this" "Michigan that" plus he says Michigan beats the Bucks every year.. where the fuck has he been?

wait till Ohio State wins.. i'll be like "Michigan what? thought so bitch"

I can't wait for the game! I'm an OSU grad that just moved to Texas! I had to get the Directv espn college package so I don't miss Big Ten games! My daughter will be marching around all day in her OSU dress tomorrow!! (Man, is that going to cost me some major bucks when she is older and needs counseling!)

[luke7]

Come on ( overrated ) Texas !!

[demar727]

Yes, Texas is way overrated.. people at school wear their uniforms and hats.. but they have no clue who they are

and yes, i ask even asked a few "fans" questions, they had no clue what the answer was.. one of the questions were.. "who was the starting QB for the 2004 season?".. left them standing there, speechless

they just wear stuff cause of the symbol.. a stupid longhorn.. come onnnn!:BANG

[onemoredrink41]

well with the michigan loss any OSU fan would be happy! And I always root for ND as well... but lets go bucks! bucks need to win for a sweet day! hell UK may even win a game today.

[CrashIntoThis]

Exactly one hour until kick off!!!! LETS GO BUCKS!!!! and Michigan lost! Makes my day even better! :thumbsup

And Bush isn't a Texan. He's from Connecticut.

edit: Great game. I didn't think we'd pull it out.

[demar727]

Ohio had 4 chances to score tonight.. and all they got were field goals..

this loss should of been a win for the bucks.. they played great.. but came up short..

p.s. Zwick should NOT start..


all i care about is.. that we beat Michigan

[TempHelpNeeded]

...ouch...tonight hurt Buckeye buds...but allz thats I can say is we can still pull through with a big Bowl Game win as long as we put down Iowa and Michigan (PSU too)...then we'll take out Texas next year on their home field!!!:violent :twenty4

[skatcat]

That sucked. Not a big OSU fan, but i was rooting for them against Tex. That reciever deserves all the credit for Tex in that win. He made Young look so good. If he ends up winning the Hiesman, which i doubt he will, will be because of that amazing catch. I tried to find every angle that he didn't have it, but he did. I HATE TEX!

We had our chances to finish off Texas and didn't do it. No excuses. Texas is a very good team. One of the best football games I have seen.

...and I agree... it should be Troy Smith at QB.

[Carbon Copy]

oh-io fuck you

[Bswartz95]

oh-io fuck you

:confused

[lillerfm]

Can somebody, for the love of God, anybody, please tell me why they put Zwick back in? Honestly...he couldn't drive to the end of my driveway to get the paper...

[onemoredrink41]

I am pissed off to say the least. I think instead of kicking the 50 yard field goal they should have punted the ball, could have made a difference. Also the switching qb's is fucking stupid and the should have just kept zwick out of the game. what the hell.

Not sure what is going to happen to OSU now. IS it still possible for the chance to go to the rose bowl? or is that completely out of the picture now? Surely they would have to win all of the remainder of the games.

[Trippin4136]

We had our chances, when Hawk made the INT and we had the ball at the 20 and couldn't jam it in was ridiculous

Putting Zwick in with 2 mins left and not Smith was just mind boggling. That could have been the worst judgement call I've ever seen Tressel make.

No doubt. It never suprises me to see Mack Brown outrecriut Tressel, but I didn't think he would outcoach him last night. Putting Zwick in in the game was the worst coaching decision I've seen in a long time.

I hate texas more then anyone, but give them some credit. They went into one of the most hostile environments there is and rallied from behind and took the win.

[dmbmuskie]

I'm still kind of in shock about the whole thing. It was one of those games where OSU seemed liked they should have won big, but somehow they lost. I wasn't impressed with Vince Young. I think he'll get better, but he tries to do too much. Did someone forget to tell Ginn that last night was a big game? He was basically invisible on O. I don't know how I feel about the QB situation. Zwick is a better passer, but I think the team would have been more likely to score with Troy in the game. It's a tough situation for Tressel. I think they are about as equal as 2 players could be. There might not be a right answer for the next 2 years.

[onemoredrink41]

Yeah, I am still in shock agh.

That is so true. so does this ruin the chance of a national championship? I mean they would obviously have to win the rest of their games.

[dmbmuskie]

I'd say it's over. I hate to be a fatalist, but I cannot see anyone beating USC or Lousiville. I bashed Louisville before the season started, but the Big East is a joke. USC is flat out amazing. I'm just hoping for a Big 10 title at this point.

[Bjkennedy24]

I still can't believe we lost that game. When Zwick came out for that last drive I knew the game was over. This QB shuffle is ridiculous, it's bringing back nightmares of the Joe Germaine/Stanley Jackson platoon. Isn't it blatantly obvious that Smith is worlds better than Zwick or is it just me? I guess I can't be mad at Tressel because of 2002, but seriously he just made John Cooper look like Vince fucking Lombardi. This team is so talented, and now the dreams of a National Championship are all but over. But I guess championship teams don't lose games like this.

I think we are going to roll through the conference, the Big 10 that looked so strong on paper doesn't look so strong any more.

Well, bring on the Aztecs, all we can do now is hope a bunch of other teams lose.

Championship dreams are not over, but they are definitely out of our own hands. We need help from other teams now. At least it's early in the year and we lost to a #2 team.

I hate polls. How can we drop as much as we did? We were "supposed" to lose that game according to the polls. A #4 team losing to a #2 shouldn't drop a lot, if at all. I would say a #2 team is about 3 points better than a #4. :)

[onemoredrink41]

I'd say it's over. I hate to be a fatalist, but I cannot see anyone beating USC or Lousiville. I bashed Louisville before the season started, but the Big East is a joke. USC is flat out amazing. I'm just hoping for a Big 10 title at this point.


fuck UK almost beat louisville.... they can be beaten who the hell you kidding? :lol

You were the home team and a 1.5 point favorite so you were actually "supposed" to win the game. I believe home field translates to 4-6 points on the spread, meaning texas probably would have been a three or four point favorite in Austin.

[Snipper007]

Go Texas!!!!!

*run off to Michigan thread to mope*

fuck UK almost beat louisville.... they can be beaten who the hell you kidding? :lol

From what I have seen UK would probaly be the 2nd best team in the new Big East. I haven't seen USF or UConn, but I don't see them being any good.
Pitt lost to OU, WVU and 'Cuse couldn't do shit against each other, Cincy looked bad against PSU until the last minute, and Rutgers folded against Illinois. It's a terrible conference.

Troy Smith named starter.

http://sports.espn.go.com/ncf/news/story?id=2161403

This infuriates me, why couldn't Tressel have done this a week earlier? Again. thanks for pissing away a chance at the National Title.

I other news, Hamby is getting hate mail for his hot potato play in the end zone. That's a little over the top, even for us Buckeye fans.

http://sports.espn.go.com/ncf/news/story?id=2161381

[dmbmuskie]

I don't have a problem with either of them starting. He just needs to pick one. This 80% shit isn't enough.

[CrashIntoThis]

Ryan Hamby is my hero. We're getting married. :)

[CrashIntoThis]

Sooooooo... how about this OSU-Iowa game tomorrow?!?!? ...And where is everyone?!?

[blsc1121]

Hell yeah...ready to go. Getting up around 9 am to get ready, then heading out around 9:30, maybe grabbing a little McDonald's on the walk over to the stadium. It should be one hell of a day with a big Buckeye win to celebrate tomorrow night. Haha, listening to people do "OH" - "IO" yells outside now.

[skatcat]

I'll be in columbus, but there to see the stones! Hope the buckeyes kill Iowa, and am sure they will. Should be some great celebrating downtown tomorrow night.

[onemoredrink41]

Yeah, Ill be at the cats game haha. what a waste it will be, but hey you can pray for a miracle, what a party it will be if the cats win!!!

go bucks!!!! we need this big win!

Well, since Iowa kicked their ass last year, they should be ready to kick some ass today! The game won't be on here though and I will be at the UK/Fla game.
:lol

[Bswartz95]

Bucks are looking strong. Defense is dominant. If it weren't for turnovers, this game would be a blowout. GO BUCKS!

[demar727]

Fucking Hawks...

[dmbmuskie]

Holy Shit. Somehow our cable decided we would rather watch WVU-ECU, but I can't be that mad since it isn't even close in Columbus.

[Bswartz95]

Great game by the Buckeyes today. Could have been better without 3 turnovers (2 of them inside the 10). Next week is the bye, then Penn St.

Speaking of Penn St.............

[dmbmuskie]

Did Zwick even see the field today?

Was put in on the final drive for OSU. They mostly ran it but Zwick got a beauty in for a first down on third down...awesome game today...was my first ever OSU/college game...I'm still in awe about the whole thing.

It's an unbelievable atomsphere being in the 'Shoe. Nothing quite like it. Were you there early to see pregame?

[Trippin4136]

There is nothing like the 'Shoe. What a dominating game today. Would have like to see less fumbles, little cleaner ball, less foolish penalties. But I will not argue against -9 rushing yds. And 531 yds on offense? Over 300 yds rushing? This is the Buckeye football I was expecting this year.

[americanbaby_13]

OSU rules, michigan sucks, who cares if Penn State fans are pissed. enough said i'm out
:thumbsup :thumbsup :thumbsup I'm from Cincinnati, go Bucks! and Bengals!

[CrashIntoThis]

The Buckeyes did AWESOME today!!!!!! :)

[onemoredrink41]

another win for the bucks! now we need usc to fucking lose!

[onemoredrink41]

yeah there's nothing like OSU football, we left 2 mins before half time at the UK game, cause fla was kicking their ass so bad!! it's okay will kick their ass in basketball.

How you figure? You act like they are the only team that does shit, other teams do it. Just may not get caught. USC, I am sure does shit as well as other teams out there. Common Sense. Hell, all colleges do it, at UK the basketball team drives in SUV's pimped out and shit hmmmm... wonder how the entire team can afford new suv's see, there's shit all the time going on all the time. :freak

yea....b/c these things don't go on at Miami, FSU, Florida, OU, Texas...want me to keep going?

And don't be upset just b/c after scUM's lost and our beat down of Iowa - how bad was it? Halftime total yds OSU: 331, Iowa 13 - OSU is now the front runner in the Big Ten. Mich St. will not come into the 'Shoe and win and that will put us in the driver seat to win the Big Ten.

My only concern is Wisconsin going undefeated in the Big Ten by some miracle.

My mom has tickets to the OSU-Mich St. game this year... so I'm trying to get her to give me her extra ticket!!!!!

[rconverse]

I'm sure Matt Leinert is getting something for free at USC from boosters. Come on. No one really believes that he just decided to stay. I am sure there were plenty of reasons (money and gifts) to convince him to stay his last year. Just look at any magazine and you see that he is on everyone's Hollywood A list. I'm sure that gets him free meals and a decent car to "borrow" at the minimum.

I'd love to see OSU go to Pasadena and beat up on USC like they did Miami in 2002. (Yes, even though the game ended after double overtime, OSU beat up Miami. OSU was much more physical, which should be expected of a team from the Big Ten.)

Can anyone verify that if Wisconsin wins out OSU won't get the automatic bid to a BCS game because OSU has been to the BCS game more recently than Wisconsin? I think that is how the decision is made, but not sure.

That's how the Rose Bowl was determined, before the BCS crap. I think now it comes down to whoever the bowl committee chooses.

It's kind of a mute point. If sconsin wins out they'll be undefeated and deserved and BCS birth. If we win out we'd almost have to be an atlarge team. If everyone has a Big 11 loss I believe the team to go would be the team who has not been to a BCS game recently. I think they'll lose somewhere along the line.

[onemoredrink41]

Yeah, would be great to go, if only I had a few grand I could buy tickets on ebay, then again OSU will kick michigans ass again.

[rconverse]

I just dislike Wisconsin so much. They are never deserving of anything. I had the unfortunate privelage to see Wisconsin snap OSUs winning streak at 19. It was about 35 degrees and raining. I was freezing in my Buckeye football T-shirt. People around me were offering to give me a pancho, but they were all Wisconsin panchos so I didn't bother. Screw Wisconsin and their panchos. I think they'll lose to Minnesota.

[Trippin4136]

I am slightly concerned that Wisconsin may go undefeated in the Big Ten - dont know their exact schedule - but i'm sure Penn State or Mich St or Minnesota will knock them. Hell, if Iowa can get their act together thats another viable loss.

The Penn State game will definitely be a test (night, road trap game ala Wisco in 2003 and NW in '04).

Although, I'm pretty much convinced, after that Iowa thrashing, that our offense has come around and we are in fact the 3rd or 4th best (Va Tech is NASTY as well and deserves props) team in the nation.

[Bjkennedy24]

dont be an ass. they didnt piss away shit. tressell is a great coach. smart man. There is still a chance if the other teams lose :lol

Not trying to be an ass, just sayin that if Smith played the whole game we'd still be undefeated.

[rconverse]

Ohio State would have won if either QB played the entire game. Zwick had to overcome so pretty big dropped passes (Hamby :BANG ) although the fumble at the end of the game was horrible. Zwick could have won the game as easily as Troy Smith. Tressel is a very good coach, but that game was poorly called and jeking the QBs in and out and didn't help that at all. OSU is putting the ball on the floor way too much. Two lost fumbles within the ten yard line against Iowa is unacceptable. Smith fumbled three times in the game. That is unacceptable. Those type plays could cost them another loss and any chance at a national championship. When OSU won the NC, Krenzel was not fumbling three times per game.

My biggest issue is now I have to pay attention to all these other games...VT v. WV, Miami v. VT, UT v. Texas Tech, USC v. ASU. Every Saturday is booked with CFB. :D

[onemoredrink41]

you dont know that... prob not.

[Bjkennedy24]

When Zwick came out for that final drive I knew the game was over. I am just disappointed because this is a national championship caliber team and we should have won that game, especially at home.

I think Tressel is a great coach and will always love him for 2002, but it's natural to second guess. It's kind of like when DMB comes out with a song like Old Dirt Hill.

[dmbmuskie]

Football is a 60 minute game, so blaming one play as the cause of a loss is foolish. It definitely hurt, but I think the fact that we couldn't close the deal on our scoring opportunities hurt us overall more than a turnover. My problem with playing Zwick is that the O we've moved to is designed to take advantage of the explosiveness at the skill positions, and Zwick doesn't present the challenge to the oppostion that Smith does. If we were to line up in a traditional sets with Holmes and Gonzales at reciever, Ginn playing in the slot when needed, Zwick would be much more effective. They are both good quarterbacks, and either could be successful as long as the gameplan is tailored to their skills.

[onemoredrink41]

going to cbus tomorrow to spend the day!!! Will have to hit up the OSU bookstore, since it's nearly impossible to find OSU stuff in ky.

Cant wait for the PSU game!

I love tress. when I went to youngstown state he was the coach there, great guy, had a great team there as well, he knows his shit. i know they should have won that game, just sucks; since I think the hopes of a national champ. is prob over with, but ya never know, we need some top teams to get beat! :thumbsup

but really can't wait for the Michigan game. whoooooo :hump

Maybe I'm biased because I live up in Minneapolis, but I think the Gophers are going to beat Penn State pretty easily. Once the Bucks had the Iowa game in the bag, I flipped over to the Minn-Purdue game and that was an amazing game. Laurence Maroney is a STUD. I'm not too impressed with PSU.

The game I have circled on my calender is Oct. 15th vs. Michigan State. That should be toughest game left on the schedule.

I can't wait to blow out Michigan in the Big House!

[rconverse]

Agreed about MSU. It will be fun chearing for MSU this weekend. The last regular season game against that school up north should be a rout :twak . Too bad TG Jr. isn't getting the ball enough to be a heisman cadidate. I'd love to see him run a punt or kick-off back and do the heisman pose in the endzone. (No, I'm not bitter. :o )

[Bswartz95]

No game this weekend for our Buckeyes, but there are plenty of great college games on the tube. Will USC go down????


Go Spartans!!

We don't give a damn for the whole state of Michigan...

[TempHelpNeeded]

What's all the OSU students doing these days? I was wondering if any OSU ants would wanna meet, PM or something...just very drunk....

[Trippin4136]

no OSU game means i'm all about baseball today. although scUM losing again would be great too.

[Bswartz95]

Yeah, pretty good day of sports on tv.

[Bswartz95]

Looks like the Penn State game next week will be a good one! I'm confident in our defense, I just hope we don't turn the ball over 5 times.

[onemoredrink41]

I am very confident too. Just stocked up on some OSU gear, spent the day in Cbus....
Much better than lexington, UK has a pretty campus, but there's just so much more diversity at OSU. :( and ray lamontange sp? was playing there today, on campus :(

[GSUdawg521]

I don't particulary like or dislike OSU.

[Trippin4136]

Penn State is going to be a very challenging game next week. Offense has to show up b/c if we put a lot points on the board there is no way Penn State can match it against our defense.

[joepsu0985]

You arent putting alot of points on the board..Did you see out deffense...We shut down a heimsman hopeful...Your qb will be deaf by the end of the game...
