Ok question. We got rid of cable and satellite as there was issues with where our TV is in our new home, no cable outlet there. We now stream with Roku and use XBox 360 with a HDTV antenna for local stations. Will this game be anywhere online streaming or is it available on ESPN360?

I'll be in 37B. Not a big fan of South Stands, but at least I'm in the stadium.

I'm in the same section, and my feelings about the South Stands are about the same.

The last time I sat there though, I got to retreat to the concourse after the game to watch App State put the finishing touches on the skunkbears. Good times.

I mean the reason Akron is coming to the horseshoe, is the same reason Eastern Michigan goes to the Big House... They get slaughtered every time, but they paocket half the gate from the game and it is enough to cover their entire Athletic department budget for 12 months...


OSU 42 Akron 6 and it will not be as close as the score indicates

Try telling that to Appy State.

...and they know it. But I don't feel sorry for them at all.

If I had been good enough to play at a MAC school, I would have cherished every second of the butt-kicking I got at the 'Shoe (and I would have chosen a school that had tOSU on their schedule).

Can't WAIT!!!

But, these games always leave me with a "well, at least it was a win" feeling. Always go in expecting a run away first half with the bench emptying for the second half, but they end up closer and more annoying than I hoped. With a new QB, RB, WR's, and head coach, why would we expect to roll by 40+ points? Because we're Ohio State and their players are happy to get rolled by the Buckeyes since they all grew up Buckeye fans? Horse shit. Not sure if "cherished every second of the butt-kicking" means that the Zip sidelines will be secretly cheering on the scarlet and gray... or if it means that they are simply cherishing the experience of the shoe. If you mean the latter, fine. But, I can't possibly believe the former is any where close to the case. These guys are Div 1 athletes because they are competitors and driven to succeed. They won't be happy (or even content) with an ass-kicking.

Ohio State 34
Akron 18

Leaving me with the feeling of "well, Luke got his first win... is it time for LSU/Oregon yet?"

This season is a bit different than the last 8-10.

First off Fickell isn't Tressel. I believe he will go balls out trying to impress the brass.

Second, these players are tired of hearing that they will suck this year. Normally they are getting told they will easily win the Big Ten.

I think they are ready to give that good old fashioned "We just beat the SHIT out of that team" feeling.
