I live in Florida and I have 10 Buckeye shirts a asortment of hats and I wear them win or lose. Tradition my high school has 1 Heisman 5 state titles, more than the ducks. I'm just so tired of hearing how we should arrange not to show to avoid our being slaughtered. This is the same xxxx that the 2002 Buckeye team heard all month. I never expected OSU to contend at this level this year. I hoped to lose two games at most Iowa and Penn and go after LSU, another shot at Florida, we do not need a win against Ducks we are 7-0 we need wins against the SEC. If you think the Ducks consider us anything but a cupcake from a over rated conference do some searches. Another BEATDOWN - Blowout.

Just curious because Ohio State has a national championship this decade, how has your team done. Unless you root for Texas, Florida, LSU, Oklahoma, Miami (FL), USC or Ohio State then go back to where you came from. Your post basically said no matter what, the winner of this game between two good football teams shouldn't be considered a good team because of the team they played? Do you realize how asinine that sounds and in return how ignorant that makes you sound? No matter what this should be a good game pitting a great offense vs. a great defense. Don't listen to the hype the Bucks have team speed, especially at LB and S and should be able to go one on one on the outside. The difference will be the front four. If Oregon can handle Heywood and Co. (which no one has done all year) the Oregon probably wins. If the Bucks control the front then they probably win. Should be a great game, can't wait.

So I am so sorry for all the duck fans. It must be very heartbreaking to finally win your conference and a trip to the Rose Bowl, only to play the over ranked cupcake busted 10 team, a nationwide consensus I hear . 47 to 3 some say, 35 3 by half time. What a dismal day for you. A hollow win that will leave you empty and unfulfilled till next year. Why would the PAC 10 stay in a agreement with the Bust 10 only to have to play it's winner each year. Break that deal and you could have played Florida, TCU, Cincinnati or even better, Boise. What could possibly be worse, OMG nooooooooo, could it, is it possible, what if, no , ok, ok I'll say it , what if you were to get upset. The PAC 10 champ beaten by a overrated Bust 10 cupcake. Would they then deserve the title of the " Pathetic 10". Well either way I guess you are losers and I dare say win or lose, you have my sympathy.I have read all over the net about this lame game.

Might have been a great match. A high pressure D (OSU) against a high pressure O (O) might just be what we need to make our holiday complete! So as far as the d-line/L-backs go...they are a pressuring defense? I couldn't quite get that from the game I saw? From the future scouting reports on these teams, sounds like we'll have a lot smack-talkin to do for a couple of years! I truly appreciate discussing the issues on OSU ground. Just makes the game more interesting! Anna…..As for TP…sounds like a bummer he didn’t pick the O. Might have been a great match.

I was just about to write on that post. I've been talking to Rob behind the scenes. He did play for Ohio State. Look for the next post to include Rob's commentary. As for the Ohio State defense, if they are anything, they are a high pressure D. The front four is all they have needed to give offensive lines and qbs fits. The've also got a secondary that likes to score off turnovers. One of the reasons I think the Buckeyes match up well against Oregon. Then there's also Pryor. We keep hearing about Oregon's offensive speed but Pryor is insane when he makes the decision to go. Reports are that he runs a 4.3. His biggest problem has been his hesitation. He's also big and there's a couple of highlights where he just tossed the defender to the ground. I thought Wells had a stiff arm... As for next year...Pryor is only going to get better and his receivers are young. Although Carter hasn't turned it on yet, you can just sense that he's got his father's genes. This is a young team and it's only going to get better during the next two years. Interesting you bring up that link goducks. I was just about to write on that post.

I bet the freshman Tate Forceir is a more accurate passer on the run than Masoli in two years, he is good. But putting together a defense next year will be tough. Clark is gone at PSU. PSU is PSU well coached and will be competitive. I really expect OSU to win next year for 7th title. I feel they will get 7th win on Mich. but in 2011 expect the rivalry to be a great one ending in December now. They are eliminating the long layoff between reg season and bowls.

And is the defense a high pressure, blitzing team? I just checked Scout.com on your committments this year. Sounds like JT would rather play Woody ball (and BTW...I do remember Woody and his teams!). There are a couple incoming that look promising...RB Smith from Ft. Wayne, 6-2, 216 (Before the College weight program) and FB Hyde from Va. 6-0, 225. All our running backs are 180. With the exception of Blount, who is well...blount. gpcarl…Has your D line faced many zone blocking teams this year? And is the defense a high pressure, blitzing team?
