I smell a Vbet...

I was talking to my brother yesterday, I'm going to do my best to make it up for this game. I got 9 months to make it work. Let's do this.

I'm guessing this is going to be a 5 pm or 8 pm start time game. The Shoe should be rocking regardless.

Mustain has had one year at Arkansas plus he has been in the USC system for two years. He has as much experience as Sanchez did when he took over the starting job.

I don't really care, as long as we don't see both. If I remember correctly, we saw both Mark Sanchez and Mitch Mustain in last year's game.

If we see BOTH, it's a blowout, and probably not on the Buckeyes' side.

Who starts? I'm going with Mustain.

My dad and I will be at the game, which I have been excited about since the beginning of this football season. The atmosphere, should be around the same quality as the '06 scUM game. This will be my 2nd trip to the 'Shoe, and can't even describe the feeling I have right now, and its still 9 months away!!! TP with an off season and time to get in rhythm with the incoming freshmen, and his fellow sophomores, dangerous. I believe this is an under-the-radar team, even being given a preseason top 5 slot. This group of kids have a special year ahead of them, this will be another great season! Damn.....9 more months!!

Just wait. USC's new QB is going to struggle in The 'Shoe. Pryor is going to leave the game with Heisman talk. It isn't being a homer, it's already seeing what the players that are going to be starters next year can do. These young guys got a lot of PT, and are some of the best freshman and sophomores i've ever seen. The next two years are going to be really, really, really good.

USC's been pretty solid every year since 2001 and they usually seem to play good in the big out of conference games. USC doesn't exactly have scrubs behind Sanchez either, I mean Mustain started in the SEC as a true frosh so I'm fully expecting USC to be more than adequate at the QB position come September.
One other thing, look up the last time USC lost a game by more than one score. They simply don't get blown out.

A win will be so huge. I am so [censored]in' sick of every ignorant piece of trash on the web talking [censored] about the "Suckeyes" and saying how his team from Idaho or Nevada was more deserving of our bowl bid, of how we are overrated, etc etc... I am sick of all the bandwagon Florida/USC "fans" talking [censored] about us on ESPN message boards. I am sick of the untalented and spite-filled ESPN/SI sportswriters, sick of Lou Holtz and Mark May, sick of Pete Carrol's endless whining when his enormous ego doesn't get stroked, sick of the "WE ARE PENN STATE" chants, sick of 41-14, 38-24, and 35-3, sick of people all over the country making "cute" remarks to me when I'm wearing my tOSU t-shirts, sick of of worrying and fretting about the prospect of another big-game humiliation, sick of the college football commentators who only spit out Tim Tebow's junk just long enough to make some disparaging comment about my Buckeyes.

Let's go out and win this one, dammit!

I hope to God, you're right! Get goose bumps imagining a score like that...a beatdown so substantial. 44-9 would be even better. A statement from an angry, hungry young defense. Whewwww.

I'm OK now.

NO offense but can we knock off the "I'm sick of the lack of respect" We don't deserve prime attention right now until we do win. So just sit back relax it's January haha...

by the way

Mustain is gradually growing slower, with the passage of time on a non-SEC squad.

No.

[bukIpower]

lol fair enough you can continue playin that card.. But it's old and severely overused, and we gata pace ourselves here or you're in for a long off season.

I can understand playing the lack of respect card 2 1/2 years ago but I think it's pretty obvious what needs to be done to rectify the situation.

Even with a close loss to Texas I've already noticed a big big difference in the tone nationally.

First of all, we're in for a long off season no matter if we "pace ourselves" or not.

The lack of respect is still complete bull[censored], especially when compared to the respect still given Oklahoma.
