Not to mention the fact that the Buckeye's will roll over everybody this comming season beccomming the Champs of 2008/'09. (making them Big Ten champs, USC road game winners plus National Champ victors over whatever high school drop out having SEC contenders might get in the way)
#1 defense in the making! Top 10 (young) O-line already here! Top 5 running game ready to go! I don't care who you are, you do not want tOSU on your schedule this season. You have all been warned.
Weren't you saying that very same thing after UF beat them like a drum?
No, they lost a lot of firepower after the Florida Nat. Champ. loss. I had no idea they would get a shot again so soon. They really fell into the #1 buy pure stupidity of other teams and related BCS logistics. However, after this recent LSU game loss, we have a crazy number of first round draft picks who chose to stay on campus. It's a "Monsters Ball" roster on D.
We have crazy talent now (especially on defense) and I'm talking USC type of super loaded. With the D we can put on the field next year and a heisman trophy prospect RB it's not even boasting. We had damn skippy better be some ball busting mo-fo's or else. It will be an unusual year in 2008 at tOSU. No come-back kids, no over-achievers, no dumb luck BCS math. It's git-er done time.
And WTH(eck)! How come I only have to answer to part of my above quote? What about...
Miami couldn't hold a jockstrap nest to tOSU's 117 years of storied history. Let alone the fact that when the teams actually met is was Miami crying in their non-alcoholic, nipple covered beers all the way home.
Speaking 'truth to power', Rear. May I call you, rear? Seriously, though, wasp and others, the talk here last year was that last year was a rebuilding year...we did not expect, nor should we have been in that game. For all your bantering, it was indeed the missteps of those who were supposed to have been there that landed us there in a year we were not prepared to be there. BTW, the talk last year was also that this year would be a great year for Ohio State.
What I said about Miami still stands and I actually lived there and was college aged during that time. They are not a beloved university. Most of the people I call friends(who graduated from high schools in that area..me included) went to FSU or UF. BTW, if anyone is wondering when it comes to Florida teams I pick FSU over Florida any day of the week. I really hate Gainesville with a white hot passion.
I should print up this thread and take it to campus in a couple of weeks to show coach and a few select players.
You may call me Mr. Steel, LOL. (Reardon or RS both work... or "buddy")
I agree with you. I was just pointing out why I did not think tOSU was a contender at this time last year. Why I did not, in fact, "say the same thing last year as was alleged.
Let's see, how many N.C. does tOSU have in those 117 years?
Five, I think. But there is a little more to "storied history" than NC wins. Including All Americans, Heisman Trophy winners, Two time Heisman Trophy winners (lol), future NFL greats, HOF coaches, playing spoiler to would be NC teams, "classic" games from history, Rose Bowl wins (back when it meant something else), BCS wins, being one half of the biggest, badest, greatest rivalry in all of sports history... etc etc.
