Week 1, Youngstown State was easily dispatched, as expected. The injury to Beanie Wells, sucked all the excitement out of the stadium. The x-ray being negative for a broken foot is a good sign, and I am hoping, like everyone else, that he is ready for USC. Ohio University should be easily dispatched this week without Beanie.

Even if Beanie is out for longer than a week, we have a strong group of Running Backs to pick up the slack.

Even people that are tired of OSU being in the news want to see them beat USC, from what I gather. Nothing would please me more than a victory at the Coliseum in LA.

OSU is my team and I love watching games! I'll agree with you though, that the fanbase needs to get other hobbies, discussion topics, and a sense of humor.

Please OSU, wipe the smug smile off Pete Carroll's face in 2 weeks!

Well, if they play next week like they played today, they will lose. It was horrible. I thought we were going to lose until the last ten minutes of the game. I want to be a fly on the wall during halftime. I SWEAR to God that Tressel sits cross-legged on the floor saying "Ohm". Where was the half time adjustment? Did they not get it the numero Ocho was a sneaky little quarterback? Ugghhh... I wish I hated sports.

Carson has much bigger fish to fry at the moment, than worrying about the Buckeyes. OU could have scored on the Bengals and stopped that horrid offense for most of the game.

If the OU game was not a fluke, and is actually representative of how good OSU is, then they will get lit up this week by USC and lose by 4 touchdowns. At which place it will be time to own up that the Big 10 isn't good, and that OSU hasn't beaten anyone good, since Miami in the National Championship game.

Hopefully they prove OU was a fluke and play a good game in LA.

So you're saying we have a shot then?

From ESPN: Which team will win next Saturday night? USC vs. OSU?

osu gets rolled by usc. mark it.

I don't think USC is the best team in the country this year. I mean they beat Virginia, an average team in a mediocre conference.

I have no idea about Saturday other than that without Wells (not Mo) it's going to be a very long night. Beckman is a dog.

I agree, either USC is really good, or Virginia is really bad. I think it will be closer than that game was this weekend.

Tressel said today that Beanie will play. Hopefully a lot. Boeckman isn't good in big games. I hope we see a lot of Pryor and Beanie.

oooowwffff......

Dude, those penalties early destroyed us. Red zone, schemd zone. Geez.

On the bright side I no longer have to be stressed every weekend this year hoping we don't get upset and lose a shot at a national title.

Yep, that sucked!

does this mean the season can be over now?
