of course as a fan of the scarlet & grey i see how you could interpret the post that way...based on your posts at buckeyeplanet shouldn't you change your name to johnOSU?
Ditto kcal...ditto! And as far as OSU being the best period, The Tigers will put that to the test Jan 7th, 2008! :geaux::geaux::geaux::geaux::geaux::geaux:
oh it's so obvious those battle tested tigers will blow out the untested buckeyes-- like last year's championship-- this should be over by half time. next year OSU starts a 2 year series with Southern Cal-- but this year beating up on patsies in & out of the Big Ten makes them an average team.
At no where in my post will you find a reference saying I think the Tigers will blow out the Buckeyes. All I'm merely saying (if you took time to read it) was that the Tigers "have" been tested a great deal more than OSU this year. Lets be honest, with the exception of a few good teams (one of which they lost to) that just hasn't been the case for the Buckeyes this year. I have not made one statement in this thread that in no way says OSU is "not" a good team, they are. But LSU has fought multiple top 20 teams this year. And in the process won most of those. OSU this year has not been fortunate enough to share that experience "this" season. Thats the common sense logic I used in this thread. Anyone who knows football would give the edge to the Tigers due to the QOC, and the overall experience they have had in those games this year. Has OSU been really tested this year? To be honest the only true test against an equal opponent this year, they lost to. The Tigers on the other hand have lost 2 both losses coming in triple OT. One after coming off an exhausting game against UF. Do I want the Tigers to win, of course, I graduated from that school and it will always be in my heart. Will they win, "yes" I think they will because "I think" they are the better team. Can OSU win, sure they can, this is college football, not the pro's. Emotion counts for a great deal. But I think when you put everything in perspective, the Tigers "should" win this game. BTW, thats "not" disrespecting OSU. If the shoe was on the other foot I'd bet you'd find a bunch of Tiger fans on this board optimistic but concerned. BTW, my guess on the score was 34 - 17 LSU. Thats "Not" a blowout.:grin:
