In '01 going 6-6 sucked... beating scUM at the end of the season was great.... not only that but coach Tressel said we would be proud of our boys on that day... what a way to get folks pumped up in Ohio!!

IMO, you should have made this poll as "besides the 03' Fiesta Bowl", which is what I put. Besides that, I would say beating scUM in 2001.

I agree with stxbuck, and chose "other" without really thinking about the Fiesta Bowl, which is obviously my number one moment.
But, my "other" one is against LSU in 1988. It is sorta when I learned how to be a fan. LSU was up and the game was seemingly over. The stadium was emptying (blasphemy!!). All the other kids that we were with, and their dads, left. My dad refused to let me leave, which I probably wanted to do (I can't really remember - I was 13).
Anyway, we came back and kicked butt and won. I enjoyed not only reaming my friends for leaving early but also enjoyed learning, even if we would have lost, that you never leave early and you absolutely never, ever, give up on the scarlet and gray. . .
I guess it is a personal response, though not the most satisfying OSU victory for all. |

wow.. this one is hard... i am going with 03 fiesta, i was in texas that whole year... and i was confident in the team all year, i remember in the beginning of the year i didnt really think we had the best team and id admit it but i said that i thought we could get to the game with our schedule and some luck, then tsun came and i was literally mortified, i grew up in the cooper era.. i think that michigan game was more of a relief than exhilerating... i could breath again... then for the fiesta bowl i was surrounded by a bunch of 18 and 19 year old fans of texas and florida state and all the bandwagon cryami fans and was told probally a thousand times the bucks would lose.. i was pacing the room by games end and had to run back to my room to call my dad when it was over... wow that was a great game..

I have to go with LJB on this one. Beating scum is always the most satisfying experience as a Buckeye football fan. Thought beating Miami (scumi) is a very close second because those arrogant, loud mouth players they have there...especially for a NC! I really did wish we have played them again last year just to proof the NC win was not a fluke like they say. I heard that we might play them in the regular season in 2007; does anyone have more information about that?

I had to go with the 2002 Michigan game. I like the 2001 and Miami and ND picks too, but the 2002 Michigan game got about 1,435 monkies off our back at the same time (beating scUM, beating them at home, beating them to preserve a perfect season, beating them in a close game, beating them to win the Big 10, beating them to go to the NC game....)

I give up. This board is too hard to understand.

I was torn between the Fiesta Bowl win at the win over scUM that got us there... I chose the win over scUM. That was such a great game... in the Shoe, beating scUM, clinching the Fiesta Bowl.
