Redemption for the Buckeyes

**BigBollocks** · 01-07-08, 05:39 AM

Thanks for sharing that article Mofo. I too think we'll see a different team tonight. This OSU squad reminds me a lot of the Tennessee team that won the whole enchalada post-Manning, where the squad plays more efficient, team-based football that generally succeeds better on the college level. GL with whomever you play tonight....

interesting take on the game. great comparison to the 98 tn team.

Thanks Mofome. I'm pretty set on the Buckeyes. Probably a very small play but would enjoy watching the game whether or not I had a play on it.

I would still take the SEC team.....Geaux Tigers!!!!!

I would have made that reference anyways, but I KNEW you were familiar with that team.

On another note, why Tee Martin never got his due respect from Vol fans while he was playing and afterwards is beyond me. I could name a pretty blatant reason perhaps, but one obviously hopes that it isn't the case. BTW, what part of TN are you from? Cheers

If not for what has turned out to be a BAD futues bet, I would actually like Ohio State +4 here. As is is, PLEEEEEASE Geaux Tigers!

They named a street after him. Anybody that followed Manning would have caught hell. He was the golden boy in the state of Tennessee. However, I see what you're saying.

OSU is going to lose.

Great logic as always (what else do you expect from a wigger on here?). Are you going to put your bet in 5 minutes after kickoff on purpose again so that you can come on here and cry for two months to get your money back like usual?

Knowing two bit, uneducated, cheating wiggers are on the opposite side is never a bad thing....

Vegas opened the Line at -6.5 LSU and now everyone is on OSU. Vegas is usually right and I am taking LSU -3

Ohio State will come out very emotionally charged and probably be ahead at half time, but LSU will comeback in the second and win a close one in the 4th.

23-19 LSU

I don't know where people get their figures from....but this is just totally wrong. There is no "everybody" on one side....action is relatively split with a slight lean toward LSU according to several of the sites that monitor this type of stuff (i.e. sportsinsights). Even with that, nobody knows who "everyone" is on.

it seems rather silly that you are ready to bet LSU -3 (which i don't know where on earth you can find) and are predicting a 4 pt LSU win. Unless you are clairvoyant, this bet of LSU -3 and predicting a 4 pt LSU win makes absoluately no sense whatsoever.

Funny, I was thinking the same thing. If you think they will win by 4 then you better not bet.

Tee Martin is loved around the vol community that im familiar with. ive only been to TN a few times and only for games. i grew up loving the team and i never let go of them for some reason. as The Seer mentioned, following Manning in Tennessee was not going to be easy for anyone. Still hard to believe that woodson won that Heisman trophy.

Mo,
Been on a tear lately and still trying to iron out this game. Although a NCG usually evens out motivation factor making it easier to cap, i feel this isnt the case here. OSU should be highly motivated but on the flipside LSU has homefield. OSU being 0-8 against SEC points right at LSU but i just am not completely sure. Should i lay the 3.5 and what are your thoughts? Thanks bud.

**DrunkenLullaby** · 01-07-08, 02:15 PM

I honestly don't see how OSU expects to score much against an LSU defense that is finally healthy and far & away the fastest defense the Buckeyes have seen this year. The only way I see them scoring much is if their D is able to hold Flynn & Co. under wraps and slowly grind out the field position battle.

I also see a healthy Doucet causing nightmares for the OSU secondary.

We shall see...

ive played LSU already, but my most recent bowl plays have not faired well. when the regular season ended, osu's biggest win was wisconsin; the buckeyes just havent proven anything so far this year. I think playing in la is a factor for both teams mentally, i think lsu will enter the game with more confidence, i think doucet and dorsey are 100% for the first time in a couple months, i think Williams, holiday, and scott (each better than 6.6 per carry on the year) will get more involved than they were much of the season....i just think LSU has more options to prepare for than what the buckeyes can bring to the game.

**BigOrangeTitans** · 01-07-08, 02:46 PM

Thanks Mo, appreciate your insight. I'm on LSU here, after hearing myself I was pretty much convinced and now even more so. Anyone think the line will drop to 3 before kick? I can get 3.5 so i may just buy it.
