I've been a Buckeye "fan" for 43 years and I've seen it happen sooooooooooo many times I've built up an immunity to it.

Maybe in your 43 years of "fandom" you've seen Ohio State be more talented and lose, but it just doesn't happen under Tressel.

I see this game kind of like when Ohio State went to Penn State in 2007. Was a tough night game on the road against a team that usually gives OSU problems, but Ohio State just took care of business. The Buckeyes should be able to harness Clay fairly well(still expecting him to get 70-80 yards) but I think the offense will be flowing and TP will have a good night. This could be a trap game, but I think the Buckeyes will be fired up to show they are the number 1 team and they will have a statement win. I could be wrong, but I am honestly fairly optimistic about this game.

He isn't coaching near as much as he once was and the young bucks who will be there when he steps away are the ones more or less "in charge" right now. I marvel at the record that Coach has compiled, and when he goes he will be completing one of the most amazing coaching legacies in history. that said, Coach is close to the point of retiring and he obviously is getting up there in years so all I can say is that college football may never see another like him.

As far as the Wisconsin-Ohio State game is concerned, if Wisconsin can't win with all of the advantages they will have going in, I think the Buckeyes win out and will have their National Title shot. The only other game I really worry about is Iowa but let's take them one at a time. And by the way, don't discount the upstart Wolverines who may not be able to stop anyone, but with that quarterback running around back there, they are also a very scary season ending challenge for our Buckeyes. Teams only have to be better than you are on one day, not all season.

Got any links to support this? I live here in State College and while many people are indeed debating who the next head coach should be, I have heard NOTHING about coaching staff in-fighting. Nor have I noticed Joe Paterno being "gone most of the time."OneBuckeye;519057 wrote:Don't know how we got on penn state, but it is 100% Joe's fault because he didn't name someone to be the top dog when he is gone (Which is most of the time) The assistants are fighting for the alpha male role and can't agree or get anythign done as a result. Their recruiting is a prime example of this, where you have certain coaches voting against not offering a kid just to piss another coach off. There have also been many reports of coaches fighting infront of the team at practices and meetings. PSU is in deep trouble and it is 100 percent Joe's fault.
