I actually don't have anything bad to say about Texas, I just couldn't let you dog the Big 10 like that
. I sort of hope Texas does well so I don't have to hear about Oklahoma anymore. I got sick of seeing that pansy Stoops in his visor on TV all the time. KState earned my respect with their fans on the Buckeye message board as well, classy group of people. I hope USC gets their asses kicked too, couldn't stand their whining last season (I am for the BCS, but that is another topic I guess). I was actually cheering for *ichigan during that game (probably the only time ever); the way they played at the beginning of the season I thought they were going to win it all.
I agree sneaking up on folks helps, I think that is what OSU did in 02 and might be able to do again this year. People saying "Oh, you guys lost 14 people to the draft" or "You lost your punter" (damn he was good) might put us in the same position. We have a little friendly competition going on at running back which can't hurt, and our defense is still pretty good. If we can get the bugs worked out on Marshall and Cincinnati (definately not looking past them) we have a chance to do well. There seems to be a lot of question in the Big 10 though, I see *ichigan, Iowa, Wisconsin, and Minnesota all having a chance to be decent as well, guess we will have to wait and see.
Also looking forward to playing Texas. If we are still both playing EQ then (!) you can expect a lot more shit talking
. Might even fly back to buy you a beer since it's in Columbus if you go(I went to OSU and am from there).
PS. screw Bobby Bowden and the Tomahawk Chop. And Baylor beating Colorado was very ccc~
