Got a few tickets to the game on saturday.Cant wait, I haven't been back in the 'Shoe since the '04 scUM game.
Anyone know where the Gameday crew is this week? I'm assuming Penn St/Alabama game...
This game was my alumni seats as well.I'll be at the game as well. Lucked out and got this game through my alumni tickets this year.
However, my daughter has a band competition that night and this is her senior year and this is my last kid. So I sold my OSU tickets.There will be other games in other years.
She used to wake me up with coffee ever morning
Was reading today where Miami players from the '02 team were trying to use revenge as a motivator for the current team. Really silly if you ask me. Sort of like asking the current Bengals to get fired up for a game with the Niners because they beat us in the SB 20 and 30 years ago.
"Rounding 3rd and heading for home, good night everybody"
That's a bit ridiculous but that sort of thing happens all the time. Team X ran up the score on Team Y 10 years ago and Team Y uses that as motivation 10 years later.
It will be interesting to see how Brian Rolle plays. He grew up a Miami fan but didn't get an offer from them. His cousin Antrelle played for the Canes when Ohio State beat them in 2003.
Rolle didn't get an offer from Miami? I thought he was a highly thought of recruit?

"There was no doubt in my mind," he said. "My sophomore to senior year, I just knew I was going to play at Miami. But I didn't get that offer I wanted."
Interesting I went back and looked at his profile on Scout. He was a 4 star LB from Immokalee and had offers from some top notch schools, OSU, LSU, UF, etc. Surprised that he didn't get an offer from Miami. I wonder if this had to do anything with the house cleaning Randy Shannon undertook. But then again I have never heard anything bad about Rolle.
Coker was fired when Rolle was a high school senior. Shannon came on later, and Miami was full up at linebacker then.
Hugs, smiling, and interactive Twitter accounts, don't mean winning baseball. Until this community understands that we are cursed to relive the madness.
Really nice win over Miami for the Buckeyes today! Go Bucks!!!

An MLB.com reporter asked what one thing Votto couldn’t do. “I can’t skate or play hockey,” Votto said. “Well, I can skate ... but I can’t stop.”
If the Buckeyes can learn how to cover a kick they are going to be real dangerous, because that was the only true weak spot today.
I'm very happy with the win today, but nothing is more frustrating than giving up two touchdowns on kick returns. This game shouldn't have been close, but it was still a good win. Go Bucks!
Bucks looked good against Miami.The couple INTs UM dropped concerns me more then the returns given up for TDs.Tressel can fix the return problem as it has been something his teams have always done well.It's up to TP to not throw picks and that worries me a bit.I'll try to remember how accurate he was against Marshal and hope it was just the rain that caused the accuracy problems today.Don't get me wrong, Pryor has looked good so far this year but but should've had a few picks and was less then efficient today despite over 300 yards of total offense.
Don't be like Canes' fans.
The kick returns did happen. Ohio State did allow them. They were fair and square and good plays by Miami. The game should have been close because Miami made enough plays to keep it close.
That kind of talk is stuff you'd hear from the "swagger." Miami has tremendous athletes with good lines on both sides of the ball. I think Ohio State was a better team, but let's not take credit away from the Hurricanes for making big plays on special teams. It takes two to tango.

The Bucks have given up 31 points so far, and 21 of them were special team breakdowns. That has to be addressed. They could have really opened this game up and hurt the Canes bad if their ST play hadn't let them back into the game. But my hats off to the Canes return guys. Solid runs no doubt.
I don't know about anyone else, but that was a definite and flagrant hold on Heyward in the 1st half. I came up off the couch when they picked that flag up. It kept that Cane drive going where they got the FG.
Overall - Pryor looked good. I think he did, at times, make some bad decisions with the ball, tried to force it a few times, and was lucky he didn't have an INT. Still a little concerned with their running game, other then Pryor, when it comes to the RBs, but it's still early.
I thought going in that the key to the whole game was going to be how our O-line was going to perform vs the Cane's LB's. I thought our line did admirably.
