The pairings were just released and Buckeye Nation gets the game they wanted. A chance at redemption against the too-fast-for-human eyes SEC. And with all due respect to Georgia, the Buckeyes are getting the SEC's best.
Plenty of storylines in this one:
- Tressel and Miles have recent bowl history
- Miles is a Michigan man and enters the game angry at a Buckeye that is currently employed by ESPN
- Miles turned down the Michigan job and if he manages to win this game, Wolverine fans will pine for the man until the end of time
- The Tigers will enjoy home field advantage, but Buckeye fans will travel
Bup ShoutoutThe Tigers now have a 3rd chance this season in which to prove themselves the best team in the nation, but they're taking on a Buckeye team with a giant chip on its shoulder.
Represent your school, conference and your fans, boys. Lord knows if we have a repeat of last season, we'll never hear the end of it.

Oh yeah. What a season! I once saw JT walk on the Olentangy.
What a wild ride this season turned out to be!

Go Buckeyes! Let's start the insanity.
Three months ago, when I was but a young lad of 23, I figured if I was going to have a season where I missed a few games because of the Big 10 Network that it was better this season than next. I assumed that next season would be one where I'd be looking for JT to lead us to another Title shot. Now, as a man of distinction and 24 years, I see that sometimes, Senator Tressel offers you good and gracious gifts that you were not expecting.
Welcome to New Orleans, y'all! I've been spreading Buckeye Fever down here for 6 years, I'm happy to finally get a chance to shut up the rabid LSU fans that are always jib jabbering away about how the SEC is the best, yada yada yada. Hope all of y'all can make it, I'll need some reinforcements....
O-H-I-O!!!!!!
And on the 8th Day...The Lord creatith JT
this is what I wanted: redemption, and a chance to shut up the Southerners down here (I live in Tuscaloosa). With the necessary tweaks to the preparation regimen we've been hearing about (conditioning, not leaving so early), I'm hoping for a better experience.
Our honour defend, gentlemen.
Kevin & SVM, are the two of you spearheading the Buckeye Southern Hospitality Brigade?
I'm contemplating the drive from Arizona. Beating LSU would be so sweet.
Did you guys see slobbering Lou Holtz tell Boeckman he's never seen anything close to playing at LSU? No way LSU is more hostile than playing at Michigan. Old Lou is losing his marbles.
We eat tiger meat!!
Buckeyes = Big Nuts
Tigers = Big Pussies
'Nuff said.
LOL
hahahaha you guys kick ass.
thanks for that
What was up with Boeckman saying he didn't watch the games this weekend 'cause he was at a Brad Paisley concert? Doesn't he know there are about 10 million Buckeye fans who's happiness depends on him staying focused!
He can have a life after he's not the Starting quarterback at The Ohio State University!
I guess I'm okay with him not watching the games, but I'd prefer him ballroom dancing, attending needlepoint class or playing bingo to admitting his attendance at a Brad Paisley concert.
I think he was day-dreaming about that concert the last few weeks of the season.
you might be on to something...at least he's got that out of his system.
This will be a great game.
As long as he shows up to do something more than fumble and throw the football up for grabs, he can attend all the Brad Paisley/Barry Manilow/Jim Neighbors concerts he wants.
Yea, I wished he would have said "Ultimate fighting", "Megadeath Concert", "Illegal turtle fighting"...but Brad Paisley?
Hopefully you're right, the concet psych-up was distracting. Now he can concentrate.
I joke, Todd has done a good(great+crappy=good) job this year. We wouldn't be where we are if we had a quarterback like the one we had at the turn of the mellinium (not mentioning any names)
Living in Valdosta GA for 15 years (SEC Country) it has been a long 0-8 period of humiliation. It is time for the BUCKS to put up or shut up! Go Bucks!!!
Gotta be tough on you TJ. Especially considering the three closest schools to you have all beaten the Buckeyes during that stretch.
us Buckeyes trapped in the South should form some kind of solidarity movement... and irredentist movement, perhaps. I'd love to detach to this university town in Alabama and rechristen it as an Ohio satellite.
