sucker bet
i was at a wedding last night, and as always happens with my friends - college football smack talk happens all night (1 scum fan, 2 cryiami fans, about 10 buckeyes). the scum fan made a bet with me for a case of beer...
he said teddy ballgame gets less than 7 TD's this year - total (rec, rushing, punt return, ect). i couldn't shake on it fast enough...
my question is how many TD's do you think that teddy will have this year?

it's nice that you befriend the mentally handicapped.
I'd say double digits easy....maybe 15 or 16.

oh yes, we have a friend that works at World Market, and she will supply us the case of boddingtons when Touch Down Teddy gets #8  . for some freakish reason that teddy doesn't do it, then all i have to buy is a case of miller light (only beer that he will drink)!!!

I think that Ginn/Holmes will score 25 touchdowns. Teams will start by trying to tie down Ginn, and Holmes will score left and right. They'll then try to keep Holmes down, and Ginn will score like crazy. I think that's why Pittman/Haw will also do well.
But to answer the question, I chose 14+.

I think whoever coined "Teddy Ballgame" deserves a case of beer...best nickname, ever.
I will go with 11-13. I think he'll be used as a decoy more often this season than we suspect, drawing coverage towards him and away from Holmes, or anyone else with hands for that matter seeing as we got talent out the ass at WR. Of course, he'll get those TD's with 30 touches or something really absurdly low like that.

This reminds me of the argument I had with some on here about how many "ways" Ginn scores last year. I'll have to dig it up but if I recall correctly some people were wayyy overboard on that.
I think this is the same as well. I see the 7-10 range but wouldn't be surprised in the least with 11-13.
I think coverages are going to roll to his side. 3 & 4 WR sets will help ease that but I'm not sure that is OSU's game.... yet.
Factors which could (note I said could not would) hamper his production:
1. Poor QB play.
2. Double (triple?) coverage.
3. Lack of overall offensive production(again goes back to the QB play & on a more limited scale the RB play)
4. Quality depth at WR. Holmes will get his and Gonzo will snare a bit too.
5. The one we all fear the most - i n j u r y shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh who said that.... 
*side note - looked up last years stats. 14 TD's would put Teddy at around 7th highest for WR's. Nobody was close to Chad Owens of Hawaii (and you know how much they throw it) with 22 total TD's. 17 receiving 5 return. 2nd place was 16
