If OSU comes to this game thinking LSU will not be fired up and emotional ready to play, that is a huge mistake. LSU plays in the Superdome every other year with our Tulane series. They have a routine for when games are going to be played in NO.

tOSU had a routine for Arizona too....

Seriously, do you really think LSU is not going to be as motivated as OSU to play in the NCG?

I never said that, I was just replying to your statement about being used to going to NOLA and the Superdome.

LSU just finished playing the Sugar Bowl in NO. They played a team they were suppose to kill and they killed them.... LSU will be ready and the OSU loss last year will have no bearing on the game.

First of all, I find it interesting that way y'all see that victory over that Arizona State team led by Jake Plummer. That game was a good while ago, but I've always thought that Arizona State won that game. In conversations with others about some of the best games in college football, I'll tell them about how a ASU team led by Jake the Snake took down an Ohio State team that everybody thought was going to win. And no one has ever pointed out to me that OSU actually won that game. It wasn't until preparing for this 2007 NC game and coming across Ohio State's bowl wins that I realized that ASU actually lost that game. So I double-checked, and sure enough, Ohio State did win that game. But the reason that game went down in my memory as a win for ASU and one of the greatest QB performances in history by Jake Plummer, is because I thought OSU should have won big, and they didn't. So I always felt that ASU out-played OSU, and I've always thought Jake Plummer was a hero because of that. Over time, I forgot the score and just thought that ASU won outright.

Second, I find it funny that y'all believe that "most the country hates the buckeyes, because at some point or another, we've kicked their ass." Since 1975, Ohio State is 0-4 against USC, 0-3 against FSU, 0-3 against Alabama, 0-2 against South Carolina, 0-1 against Tennessee, 0-1 against Georgia, 0-1 against Auburn, 0-1 against Florida, 0-1 against Air Force, 0-1 against Clemson.

To be one of those teams that is hated by everybody, you to one of those teams that is just absolutely dominating college football. The last team like that was USC from 2003 to 2005. In 2003, they lost to California in 3OT early in the season. After that, they just went around dominating everybody they played, including Notre Dame (45 to 14), Washington (43 to 23), Washington State (43 to 16), Arizona (45 to 0), UCLA (47 to 22), and finally Michigan in the Rose Bowl (28-14). They finish the season ranked #1 in the AP. In 2004, they were #1 every week of the entire season, going 13-0, and beating teams such as Arizona State (45 to 7), Washington (38 to 0), Washington State (42 to 12), Arizona (49 to 9), Notre Dame (41 to 10), and finally Oklahoma in the national championship (55 to 19). Then in 2005, they were #1 every week of the entire season, going undefeated again, beating teams like Arkansas (70 to 17), Oregon (45 to 13), Arizona (42 to 21), Washington (51 to 24), Washington State (55 to 13), and UCLA (66 to 19). Finally, their reign of terror came to an end when Texas took them down 38 to 41 in the NC. But USC's 33 consecutive appearances at #1 in the AP Poll shattered the previous all-time record of 21.

Not sure where the 1975 thing comes from but from 1975-2006:
OSU win % .753
USC win % .696


2001-2007 (pre Bowl games):
OSU 73-15 1 BCS NC (3 BCS title games 1 tbd)
USC 75-14 1 BCS NC (2 BCS title games)

We have a run of success and its because the B10 sucks/is so weak.

USC has a run in an equally if not weaker Pac 10 at the time and the best team of all time talk starts.
