Cotton pheromonesWe already know that I can see 4 hours in to the future, but what about yourself?
With the first big game of the '08 season, we have our first guess the score contest. The winner will receive two t-shirts from the 11W Store and you can ask any of the winners from last season -- those things attract members of the opposite sex like Rich Rodriguez pulls big-hair mamas.
Just leave your score prediction in the comments (you must include an email so we can contact you should you win). Normally house rules prevent us from naming winners that predict a Buckeye loss, but we're going to make an exception this week -- double digit spread and all...
The fine print:
- Must be 18 years-old or older.
- One entry/comment per person.
- Your entry/comment must include a valid email address.
- Deadline for entries is kickoff.

USC, 38-10. Call it a gut feeling.
Sucks.
As much as it pains me to say it:
24-20 USC
With Beanie doubtful, my confidence is WAY down. I'm still predicting mastermind Tressel to pull some surprises....
OSU 37-27
tOSU, 37-31. Barnburner til the last moment, almost like ESPiN/ABC/Disney scripted it.
Screw all you doubters.

I feel so dirty typing it out. I'm just not confident. Please let me be wrong.
With Beanie all but done for the next 3 or 4 games, this season just wasn't meant to be. At least we can go for 3 straight outright big 10 titles.
USC wins 41-21
OSU 42

unfortunately, USC will keep the pedal down for all 4 quarters. Without Beanie to make first downs and shorten the game, our soft D could yield a lot of points if left out there too long (punching wall right now)
USC 42-17 (petey is throwing long TDs late in the game to ensure even a 1 loss team gets in the NC)

But, the truth is, a win over TTUN still means something as important as anything to me

Well, if given a choice between beating m*ch*g*n and beating USC, I'll take m*ch*g*n any day of the week.
We discussed it a few weeks ago, but I'll say it again: I see eerie parallels between this team and the '05 team. The '05 team was loaded, predicted to do great things, lost their key offensive player for a while, laid an egg in the Big T(elev)en schedule, dropped a big out-of-conference game, and still won a Big T(elev)en title and thumped to a win in their bowl game.
That's exactly the vibe I got from this '08 team, and I think that's what happens. Let's at least hope OSU shows well out west. A close loss doesn't necessarily sink us, especially under the circumstances. I'll take a Big T(elev)en title, a win over m*ch*g*n and a bowl victory in a BCs game almost any season.
Go Bucks!!!

Oh NO!!!!
Without Beanie we will have no one to block the USC defensive line! That means Beanie won't have time to throw to Beanie or hand off to Beanie!
And, without Beanie on defense, who will tackle all those Trojan running backs?? Sanchez will have a field day throwing to his recievers without Beanie there to cover them!
FUCK! There is no hope but to turn the plane around and head back to Columbus. In fact, we should just forfeit every game that Beanie Wells does not play in, past, present, and future.
I certainly hope the REST OF THE TEAM gets a chance to see the level of optimism shown by the "Buckeye faithful", you bunch of vaginas.

Funny thing is that if Ohio State ran up the score on someone like that I guarantee that all the commentators would be talking about how classless OSU is and how they ran up the score. But for USC it's a circle jerk about how awesome they are and how much OSU sucks. I hate Mark May.

Beanie will play, but not much. Count on Pryor to be the equalizer that turns this game from a potential loss to a WIN.

I can't believe all the pissing and moaning by some of you QUOTE... "buckeye fans". I am a realist as well, and I don't ever remember a time where I thought we would lose, think it's a tough opponent, yes, we need to play our balls of to win, yes. But if you don't believe in your team, are you a REAL FAN?? BANDWAGON BITCHES!! I remember in the 02 championship game, we were doubted just like this. We know USC can score, we know they have a great defense. But if we can get pressure on Sanchez, he is prone to make mistakes, and McKnight doesn't have the best hands...look for a fumble. Our D is ball hungry this year, and it makes a serious difference in this game when we need them most!!

For the record...I would never watch a Buckeye game I thought we were going to lose, I wouldn't put myself through it. I haven't missed a game in 15 years or more, I am not stopping that streak on Saturday. Woody thinks we're going to win, he told me so.

Since when is a "true" buckeye fan required to predict a victory or have his fandom called into question? What is this, Soviet Russia?
In keeping with this revelation, I think that anyone predicting that the Buckeyes win by less than 7,000 points is a fake-ass Michigan loving SEC admiring piece of garbage.
As such, OSU wins: 18,345--2 (meaningless late 4th quarter safety by Rey on Bauserman)

First of all, my buddy works with Beanie's brother and said he talked to him today and he said Beanie has been practicing all week and is ready to go Saturday night. I know it may sound like a stretch but its for real and allow it to settle you down for Saturday. With that said...

T. Miller, if you speak the truth, you deserve a t-shirt regardless of whether you guess the final score.
Without Beanie:

With Beanie:

T Miller, is this a cruel joke ... I'm betting, yes
I know it sounds crazy and I thought so too but my buddies called me earlier today and said don't listen to what comes out today in the news because he is alright, I mean we will of course have to wait until Saturday to find out if it is 100% true but it was his bro and I would not play a joke like this on my buckeye brethren

Everyone seems to think that Beanie will not play? I got news for you count on it. He plays and plays well. Pryor has a coming out party. Watch his first play when USC puts 8 in the box he will change the play and throw deep for a big gain. Pryor changes the game and USC again can't stop a running QB.
Buckeyes win a tight game at the end 34-31 BUCKEYES, and the masses go f'n NUTS.
Just got off the phone with Beanie he said it's a smoke screen. I hope USC parties hard before the game. Im sending a call out to all my old "girl friends" in so cal. You know the ladies of the night. USC might be dragging ass on sat. night. If they are staying at a Hotel in LA we need to make their stay as uncomfortable as possible. Hint.

Shame on you Buckeye fans who are thinking we're going to lose. USC has no offensive line. They haven't played a good defense in YEARS. USC and the d-bag that coaches them are an overrated joke.
With or without Beanie we win. I'm sticking by my 17-14 Bucks prediction. Defense gets big.
And get out of here USC trolls.
Shame on you all who've predicted such high scores on our D.

Anyway, if it's close, and if (big if) Beanie can shoulder at least some of the load early.....

SC's speed is too much for another lumbering Big 10 team. SCs D shuts down running games, and Robiskie/Hartline are no match for SCs secondary.
Sanchez proves he's the real deal w/3 TD passes. SC's RB by committee, led by CJ Gable rack up 200+ yards - most in the 4Q to kill the clock. Carroll doesn't run up the score - respects Tressell and OSU too much.
Terrelle Pryor shows he's the Buckeyes future. Buckeye fans call for Boeckman to be benched after the game.

If I come across one more journalistic jerk-off puff piece about Surfer Pete's unconventional and highly successful approach to coaching football, I'm gonna choke a bitch. I've never seen such unabashed homerism kool aid drinkers before. I really don't get the allure of USC; most of the people obsessed with it have never been to Southern California. Not the utopian ideal for a city.
