Saturday's Ohio State-Cincinnati football game is a perfect example why gambling on sports will drive you to drink just about anything but the gas in the mower. The Buckeyes are 291/2-point favorites. No way Jim Tressel runs it up on his pal Mark Dantonio. Then an old guy from South Africa kicks a 52-yard field goal with 74 seconds to play.
OSU wins by 30.
Big Game hype: Considering that most of the Big Ten looks as scary as a litter of newborn puppies, it's not too early to start talking
OSU-Michigan. The Horseshoe, Nov. 18. Could it be No. 1 vs. No. 2?
The Buckeyes' schedule isn't extremely scary. Things could go haywire at Iowa, but
OSU will be looking for payback from that meltdown in Iowa City two years ago. Michigan's three toughest games appear to be Penn State, Michigan State and Iowa, but they get the Spartans and Hawkeyes at the Big House.
Yeah, it's early, and a lot of teams need to lose, but it could happen.
