You have admitted on multiple occasios that you dont keep up on college football, yet you just KNOW USC is better than OSU. Just being a hater again I guess.

I am going by my limited opinion on college football, but USC is the team to strive to be, so if OSU pulls it off I will give them props. I don't follow college football like allot of you guys, but I am far from ignorant concerning the topic. I hope OSU can beat Troy.

USC hasnt really been that good for a few years, they had their run with Leinart and Bush. No doubt they are a tradition packed program, much like OSU. Many would say OSU is the program to strive to be, it all depends on your allegiances. You would get different arguments in diferent regions of the country. Not that preseason rankings mean a whole lot but most so called experts have OSU in the top three, at least. I thing USC is hanging around 12 or so. It will be a good test for sure.

USC is not the better team. I expect OSU to win. USC is talented but they lost senior leadership and they have to throw in a QB with very little experience. USC recievers havent panned out. OSU is returning a lot of talent. I think beanie is better then any runningback USC has. Not to mention the only coach that could say hes as good as pete carroll is jim tressel.

I am and always will be a Buckeye, but it's time for OSU to put up or shut up in this game.

BTW, that's not my quote. I said OSU is the better team, but home field is a big advantage. I think USC wins, even though they are not the best team.
you had a good run Hank.

I'm working on tickets through contacts at work. Should know this week if I get them. Regardless, a fellow alum, a friend and I have a beachfront place rented already in Santa Monica.
If you find tickets, please let me know where you got them and the cost just in case my work contact doesn't work out.

Home field is gonna be huge. Without seeing either team this year play a single down it's way too early to tell anything about this game yet, except I wish I was going 
I am soo pumped the Buckeyes and Browns are just around the corner!!
O H!!
Our honor defend, we will fight to the end, for OHIO! GO BUCKS!

Keep in mind our 05 and 06 Home and Home with Texas. Each team won on the other's home turf... One thing we do have going for us with this one is that the Coliseum is not known for being an overwhelming intimidating venue. Their crowd just does not affect the ballgame like say Penn State, FLA, Nebraska, etc.. Hell, Stanford won IN the Coliseum last year. I really think the best team will win this game. With that said, their is no way this game will be blowout IMO. I think this game comes down to our defense. If our FRONT FOUR gets pressure, we are in very good shape. Our front four needs to step up from last year. I feel like Gohlston was on an island at times last year. We need Cam Heyward to break out this year. I would love to see this be a low scoring game, as I believe that really favors us... Oh yeah, and I am sure the recent statements by Carson Palmer about OSU are already posted on the bulletin board at the Woody Hayes Center. That stuff never hurts  ....
I heart winning

I agree about the stadium thing. Playing in happy valley at night is crazy. I thought that would be the one game we would lose last year. The swamp can also get crazy. I think part of the reason why USC isnt intimidating is because its in LA. Hell UCLA has more intimidation in their stadium. I remeber the white out a few years ago. Also carson palmers IQ must be dropping from all the other bunghole fans.

Yeah man, I was up in Happy Valley for the 05 debacle. That was one of the worst experiences of my life. WIth Penn State having been down for a few years, that game was their chance to get back on the map, and boy, did they ever.
The fans their were ridiculous in preparation for the game. From throwing the beer bottles at our band to picking fights for "walking through the wrong tailgate." Place was an absolute cesspool..
