No and no. Not that its an excuse or should be used as one. But OSU is going into this game with their 3rd string QB. If it was Miller or JT and OSU gets drilled..yes, it may be devastating. Devastating if a close, competitive game? No. A blowout could be viewed as devastating as someone like Mark May will be on the air saying "I told you so". Expectations are obviously very high with OSU. But coming into this year, after losing Miller and replacing MANY starters from last year, I am not sure many picked OSU to be here. After the VT loss, many were predicting 3 loss season. Then the loss of JT? THink about it. Biggest game in history? No, its not. This program is set to be in the final four next year and beyond. People forget, this is a very young team. Probably a year away as a legit favorite to win it all. This season, when you think about everything, is really a surprise with how this team ended up.IggyPride00;1683905 wrote:Possibly the biggest game in Buckeye history.
A loss would be completely devastating given the overall perception of the conference and our recent history in big games.
People said the same thing about Oregon, Arkansas, etc. and when we won nothing changed. It was still "B1G sucks, SEC = NFL".Automatik;1683989 wrote:It's the biggest game in RECENT history and it's not even debatable.
Beat them and all of the haters and pundits can shut their collective mouths. Get our ass beat and we are who everyone thought we were....3rd string QB or not.
If we perform in the the trenches like last Saturday, I'm confident they can get it done. Of course, that's a big if.
The B12 is largely irrelevant with Texas and Oklahoma being at best SEC East champions. I mean seriously TCU and Baylor would get waxed to hell in any other conference and shit tier schools at best.Automatik;1683995 wrote:You are dead on. I'm seeing Big 12 whiners talk about us getting waxed in recent bowls, "never beat anyone" blah blah.
Of course, no mention of Oregon or Arkansas. Selective memory at it's finest.
Sparty is going to lay a beat down on Baylor. MSU will have its third string in at half time and still win by 5 TDs.Automatik;1684002 wrote:My friend thinks Briles will "want to score 100" against Sparty. LOL
No I'm guessing considering the two teams involved ticket prices will be astronomicalSportsAndLady;1683980 wrote:Anyone planning on heading to the game?
How!Automatik;1684011 wrote:My friend just got a pair, lower bowl. $200 face.
My second favorite part of yesterday, obviously behind OSU getting in, was finding out MSU gets to play Baylor. If there's going to be a team that exposes Baylor, it should be MSU.Automatik;1684002 wrote:My friend thinks Briles will "want to score 100" against Sparty. LOL
He signed up weeks ago and had to put down a deposit. If they didn't make it, I believe he was out around $125. I don't know how he was offered to sign up, possibly due to being an OSU alum.Classyposter58;1684013 wrote:How!
Joey Galloway thinks it was the easiest draw of the other 3. I'm not agreeing on that but I do think it beats playing OR.vball10set;1683639 wrote:Waiting for Tearnan's thoughts :rolleyes:
1. Please go further with the etc. The 2011 Gator Bowl? Go ahead and say OSU was bad that season but they had the same record as Florida going into it. The location? The PTB didn't care when they accepted the bowl bid. Last years bowl game against Clemson too?sleeper;1683994 wrote:People said the same thing about Oregon, Arkansas, etc. and when we won nothing changed. It was still "B1G sucks, SEC = NFL".

Not necessarily. Alabama could choose to be the away team and wear their whites. Don't know why they'd do that though.wildcats20;1684443 wrote:Except they will be white.
