If we lose Saturday, it will suck.

Agree and disagree.
I would say that 2002 was more important to the program overall but 2006 is obviously the biggest The Game has ever been on a national level.
On a side note, I'm amazed how the attitude of the entire Buckeye nation has been changed by Tress in the past 4 years. I was a nervous wreck in 2002 and honestly was just hoping we'd win. 2006 and I'm calm as can be and fully expect to win if we play hard and smart enough to earn it. Have I been 'vested or what?
