THE GAME, tOSU at tCun, Sat. 11/25, 12pm ET, FOX

I didn't realize it until listening to Carp's show that there are some Buckeye veterans that don't have a pair of golden pants.
Really want them to get their pair this weekend!

That's who this team needs on the sidelines and in the pre-game talk with them - Carp.

That's a guy who broke his leg in The Game, came out of the tunnel on crutches and cried his damn eyes out because he couldn't be on the field with his boys. That's how much it meant to him.

Win the emotional battle before you even step on the field. Make it personal.

I agree on Carp, 100%
Not certain I agree on the emotional, but in line on the personal. Fine balance.

I would love it if somehow the Buckeyes came out and acted as though the other team and fans didn't exist. No words, no interactions, just utter physical domination and determination.

The Game, as we have all known it up to this point in our lives, is over. Yes, we will still play tsun and yes, it will still be called The Game, but this is the last time it will be the end of season-all or nothing pinnacle that we have all experienced. An expanded conference, no divisions and an expanded playoff mean rematches and as soon as there is a rematch, The Game isn’t the same as it was before.
If this were next year, both teams would have already locked up a spot in the B1G game next weekend. Rest banged up starters? Hold back on some of the play calling? It will change the dynamics, for sure.
