OHIO STATE AIN'T SHIT


Ok, We went to Bloomington, started a little slow, Tightened the noose on Defense, Shea had a career day, even though he still struggles to hit guys in stride, We won going away, no known injuries. Game over.

Now what we have all been waiting for!





Buckle Up your Chin Straps everyone!

What's your first recollection of this Game?  

Mine was 1973, in the basement workshop with my Dad, listening to Ufer on the old clock radio. and Mike Lantry missing 2 Field Goals. Years later Mike ended up having the seats next to me for a few years. Nice Guy!  Never had the guts to ask about the Kick,   
Thanks for your Service! If you don't know his story check it out. Waiting for him to be Veteran of the Game!

Was there any more sinister of a character than Cornelius Green? He was the epitome of evil to this 8 year old boy! Dennis Franklin the Arc-Angel!

Its pretty interesting the parallels that start to align with 1969,  The prior year beating, The Bad Loss Early on that questioned the teams soul. A big turnaround mid game, mid year and rolling into the rest of the season. An opponent characterized as the best team in the country

Its easy to get caught up in the nostalgia but this game still comes down to the players and the coaches.  As Bo told his charges in 1969, This game will come down to individual matchups.  Is John Runyan better than Chase Young at 12:00 on Saturday. If he is, then is Jalen Mayfield better than Chris Young at 12:30 on Saturday when they move him to the other side. Is Cameron Magrone, fast enough to catch JK (Not Today) Dobbins at the corner and Justin Fields on the QB Draw?  Is Lavert Hill better than Binjimin Victor/Vector. Is Nico Collins going to win the even ball at the peak, Is Don Brown better than Cryan Day anticipating the scheme and the adjustment. Does he have the answer for the crossing routes? I bet its the first play from scrimmage! Is John, Gattis, Robinson ready to scheme a Real Big Game. Is there a twist to the scheme that has not been shown? Iron Bowl's don't count.   Everything else is White Noise.

Michigan has some things going for it, Pride, Home Field, Justin Fields is a pretty boy from Georgia that has never had to play a tough hard hitting game in a hostile stadium in the cold (Currently 38 and Snow), GMISAD

The Bucknuts crumbled a bit when PSU started to get some momentum, Can we expect this in our game? Fortune never seems to shine on us in these games but they were challenged and sort of held serve.  Are they in game condition for a 4 qtr shootout?  Most of the key player have strutted through about 2 1/2 quarters a game all year. Are they mentally and physically conditioned enough to go a full 4 qtrs with every play being critical.  They weren't in 1969! How bad does the NCAA want Alabama in the Playoffs, do we get a call??

Who will be the player that has been solid, but not high profile, that plays over his head?  Josh Uche? Tarik Black? Sean McKeon?

On paper Michigan is a large underdog, But were playing this game on the field, not on the arena of public opinion, So lets Tee it up and be ready to write another verse to the old Uf Classic,  ending in

As Pasquale lead the Victors, They Laid Cryan Day Away.



The 12th man will be at the Corner, ready to go! IT'S A BIG GAME  Come Join Us.

The 13th man will be guiding things from Valhalla, we'll need you buddy!
