How much will we win by

They are banged up.

Gives me a chance to reboot the sea shanty I wrote in 2006 when we had that MTE in Columbus....

"On the banks of the Olentangy,
12 mighty men did land...."

For those interested, here is one of the main the Ohio St fan blogs discussing the game: https://www.elevenwarriors.com/ohio-sta ... -on-friday

Wow... check out the pessimistic OSU fans! They sure don't sound very confident about this game!

As my username indicates, I (like Brot) am an Ohio Ramblers. I think this draw is tough. On the positive side the Buckeyes are in a free fall and pretty banged up. On the negative side they have an NBA big man and an NBA wing which is exactly what gave us issues with Auburn. I'm worried if Lidell decides he's not going out we have nobody to match up with him. Throw in Pittsburgh being a home game for the Buckeyes and I'm feeling negative about our draw.

OSU has some big guys...Liddel is 240 and Keys is 245.....Liddell leads them in all most every statistal battle...They go ten deep,9 guys averaging 15 minutes or more....We depended a lot on Schwigert to get the O going at the MVC , dont see that happening here....My concern here is defensively the largeness of OSU and offensively , how are we going to get the O going?

If Ohio State's front court is a strength, we may need Hutson to step up like he did last year against Illinois.
