This is the first time in 20 some years that I just can't seem to get excited about the Michigan - Buckeye game.

I don't know what it is but something is missing -Maybe the fact Michigan is having the worst season in it's exsitance -Or their new head coach ?.

But I'm here to tell you all something -You can take all the records -Stats and wins and loses and throw them all out the window -When it comes to this game it's whoever shows up to play.

I hope the Buckeyes will be ready and not take this game lightly -Heres a stat many may not know -every new coach for over 50 yrs - has won their first game against the opposition -Do I think Rich Rod will -No -But it could happen.

I can see Michigan coming in with lot's of emotion -But then talent will start to take over and the Buckeyes by midway through the third quarter will start to manhandle the Wolverines- Beanie got a lot of yrds against them last year -Expect the same.

My prediction for the game -Buckeyes 38 to Michigan 17.

I'm sure after I start drinking at 8:30 am EST - By noon I should be a little fired up for the game.

But for right now ( Yawn ! )

 "GO BUCKEYES"

BEAT MICHIGAN !

      VRS                        

Well I'm looking outside and the sun is shining but the high today will only be in the low 50's and tonight it will be close to the Mid 40's by kickoff and wet.

Last night we had lots of rain which will make the artificial turf a little slipery , This should bode well for whoever brings their running game today.

The Lions record against the Buckeyes is  9 and 20 and have lost in the Shoe in the last 9 meetings.

The Lions are only giving up an average of 11 points a game  but The Buckeyes defense is finally getting it's act together only giving up 10 points in it's last two games against Purdue and Michigan State.

Now for My prediction -

 my stats on games when Iv'e had under 5 beers --7-10

On games where Iv'e had over 6 beers-- 10-0 !!!

So get ready I plan on drinking more than six and I'm picking the Buckeyes by 11 points

Final score -- Buckeyes 28 to 17.

"GO BUCKEYES"

The Ohio State University is pulling a fast one a trick a con a sham their setting USC up and they don't even see it coming they are pulling the Ol'Trojan Horse trick on the Trojans.

They are going to come into southern Cal looking like a far inferior team like a high school team that just lost their favorite coach, It's a front and farce some good Ol' fashion trickery.

Chris Wells was faking it hes not hurt -why should he take a chance of getting injured playing interstate squads that have nothing to lose.

Tressel is a genius he is using smoke and mirrors, pulling the wool over Ol' Petes eyes  it's shenanigans I tell ya !!

If any of you out there in football land honestly believe the same team you seen struggling against two interstate schools is the team that will be playing in Southern Cal you better wake up and smell the coffee.

The Buckeyes and Tressel will show up they will play the game of their lives they will leave it all on the field.

To all of the Buckeye fans out there don't doubt your team just remember in 2002 the 14-0 season the Buckeyes fell behind in games, won games in the fourth quarter and won games in overtime.

It's "Tressel Ball" you know the type of football that has you biting your fingernails sitting on the edge of your seat , Being on the verge of a heart attack its the same situation this season.

I have been waiting for the game with USC since the end of last season and so have the Buckeyes.

               GO Buckeyes

In Lew  of the upcoming game between The Ohio State Buckeyes and The Trojans from Southern California I have summoned the greats of the past to give inspiration to the Buckeyes as they soon will be going into an extremely hostile enviroment.

The Sun will be shining down on this battle of two proud traditions and it will be hotter than my ex-stepmothers kiss the fans of USC will be in riot mode and frenzeyed out of their God foresaken football minds.

The crazed stares of fans that have anticipated this match up will be gazing at the 64' HD TV"s that they will be paying on for months in anticipation of the kickoff to this battle.

So I find it fitting to throw some words of encouragement towards the young men  that will be taking the field in honor of the Buckeyes.
