Ohio State-Michigan thread

[Left_Coast]

Never too early, right?

I think buildups to "Games of the Century" turn out to be duds/don't live up to expectations.

I think Ohio State wins. They're home. They've had Michigan's number. They're the better team.

Endless Hype Lives Here.

probably no better big game college coach than Tressel. He won championships at Youngstown, and he's done it here. How many times has tOSU blown a big game becasue of Tressel? Not trying to glorify the guy, but the bigger the game, the more he seems to be ahead of the other guy on the opposite sideline, many times. Jeez, last year's Fiesta Bowl still lingers. He's got the best decision maker QB in Smith. He's got the Horseshoe. I don't see that combo coming up short.

I read that when Texas came to Ohio State, police estimated 1 million people around the stadium. I would guess this game would have a lot more people converging on Columbus. If Buckeyes lose, Columbus will burn.

I don't trust Chad Henne. I think he makes a mistake in a clutch moment.

It's going to burn either way. Lotta nervous sofas in Columbus right now.

Good luck topping USC-Notre Dame from last year. College football bores me to tears, but I'd pay good money for that game on DVD.

A national championship during my freshman year would be great. But I'm not to confident in the Lloyd Carr/Jim Tressel matchup. Carr is Tressel's beeyatch.

Gameday heading there? I would imagine there this week and at USC (for ND) the following week.

If they ever do win it all, don't be one of Those Guys that storms the field.

I'll be the one with the "I LOVE SportsJournalists.com" sign.

Maybe not on campus. Ohio State has a grudge with ESPN.

 

[Left_Coast]

And the fact this game is at 12:30 is crap.

It should be at 9 a.m. PST (Left_Coast bias) followed by USC-UCLA.

I want this to be a blowout -- don't care which side -- just to avoid a rematch scenario. Other than that, I'm curious to park at a sports bar, order some wings and see what happens.

If things continue the way they've been today, with the one-loss teams choking, a rematch will happen no matter the score. It won't be a blowout, though. It almost never is.

Disagree. Don't see Florida, despite their flaws, losing to Arkansas, putting the Gators in the title game.

Or USC there, if they win out.

Awesome!

This is the only week of the year I'm a Michigan fan.

Why? They lost to Auburn, a team Arkansas ran right out of their own stadium. And they damn near blew it at home against the Fighting Chickens.
