Bucks Throwbacks

The Buckeyes will wear throwback uni's for the game against Michigan. The 2009 installment of "The Rivalry" marks the 90th anniversary of Ohio State's first victory over Michigan. The first victory dating back to 1919 when three-time All-American captain Chic Harley led the Buckeyes to a win in Ann Arbor.

Here's a sneak peak at the uni's....

:up I like em!

 

[Lkr]

did I see an OSU fan call USC overrated?

 

[Jimbo]

If the Bucks were not a 3 loss team, I bet the bashing could be handled....

Last I checked, they had 2 losses, not 3.

 

[Jimbo]

Season aint over yet.

Florida and LSU's season aren't over yet either.

Come to think of it, there a good chance they will lose a game this year.

 

[Jimbo]

Agreed. But say Florida gets beat by USC and is still ranked in the top 10, then an undefeated Bama losses to them in the SECCG. Should Bama go before an undefeated Boise St./TCU/or Cincy?

You know they WILL

 

[Jimbo]

Not making excuses for the Irish, but Navy is A LOT better than most people give them credit for. They play good, old school fundamental ball. They run the ball down your throats and play pretty solid defense.

I've been saying that since the first game this year.

 

[Jimbo]

Someones been paying attention

You still have to get by Iowa and Michigan (which the later should be easy) and in fact I believe the Bucks have a good shot against Iowa..

Personally, I thought the season was over a few weeks ago, but they have been resilient and played better each week.

 

[Jimbo]

I'm just happy that the Big East has the chance to personally knock ND out of their bowl agreement for the year.

You could easily make the case that both Pitt and UConn will beat the Irish in the next 2 weeks.

Big East is much better this year than in past years, at least the top part.

HUGE win for tOSU! Possibly, Terrelle Pryor's first defining game as a Collegiate QB? On the road, against a higher ranked opponent, in the land where he is from, but chose to go to the opposing state when he was heavily recruited in High School? I don't want to jinx him, but I think TP is growing up right before our eyes! The future is finally looking bright again for the young phenom!

BTW, the next 2 weeks will be a blast in Buckeye Nation! Win next week (Iowa) and we're going to our first Rose Bowl since 1997 and would secure the Big Ten Title for the 5th consecutive year! Oh, and then there's the last game of the season against that team up North!!!!!!! Oh, I can't wait!

I would wait till he has more than one good game in a row before I would proclaim him turning the corner.

 

[Jimbo]

What's Stanzi's status for next week?

They say he's out, but it would not surprise me at all if they taped him and shot him up and we saw him in there.

 

[Jimbo]

I suppose I have different interpretations for 'defining moment' for Pyror, and 'defining win'. Difficult to argue this was Pryor's biggest win, since he hasn't had many big wins.

I think you may be right, actually, it's me who needs to re-evaluate my expectations for Pryor. He didn't throw the ball away, he didn't lose the game like he lost the Purdue game, so I suppose I should be happy.

I will not get hyped up over the team running over Penn State, regardless of the defensive stats they've accumulated against weak teams. They are not good. The elite offenses in the country would destroy Penn State, it would not even be a game at halftime.

The good news is the Buckeyes will play USC in the Rose Bowl, and not the loser of the Florida-Alabama game. That would be bad.

Tressel gets five weeks to prepare for a game, and as soon as he sees a new wrinkle, he's already unprepared and cannot adjust...

Isn't Arizona actually in first place at this point ?
Personally, I'd like to play USC again.

Here's a sneak peak at the uni's....

Well those are ugly ......

They should at least have Grey helmets and the Buckeye leafs on them.
I heard the leaves might be there, even though that didn't start till '68

 

[mccoyrj]

Florida and LSU's season aren't over yet either....

For all intents and purposes, LSU's is. :river

 

[Derwin0]

For all intents and purposes, LSU's is. :river

Even though you won't make Atlanta for the SECCG, at least you can be there for the Peach.

Big East is much better this year than in past years, at least the top part.

Let's see, the BE has 4 teams in the BCS 25 and has 8 teams in the conference. The SEC has 3 in top 25 and 12 teams in conference.

Yep, looks like the writers and coaches pre-season polls with no BE teams in top 25 were as useful as usual.

 

[SandraC]

did I see an OSU fan call USC overrated?

Don't take what I said out of context.

Yes, I said USC is overrated, and I believe that. At this point in time their name is more responsible for their status than their play on the field.

But that was within a long post where I bashed Ohio State after their biggest win of the year, on the road against a ranked opponent. Obviously USC should be ranked higher than Ohio State, but neither team is very good.

Found this ad on ESPN's web-site and thought you all may get a kick out of it:

Look for "The New Gold Standard: Charlie Weis and Notre Dame's Rise to Glory" by Tim Prister (ESPN Books, $24.95), in bookstores on Aug. 16.


Wonder how the sales are on that fictional book?

Wonder when the author will release his book "Turning Gold Into Lead"?

Goes the show the Big East only has a few good teams, while the other conference like the SEC have so many good teams they beat each other up and knock each other out of the rankings.. GA even as bad as they are this year would be in that top 4 group in the Big East teams... Tennesee would be at least in the top 2.

Right - call me when Vandy, Ole Miss, Miss St, USuC, and Kentucky all don't suck.
