I was on my way to work and I was listening to Fox Sports Radio and this guy by the name of JT the Brick. I imagine that most of you are familar with him. Well he has this guy that is the "Handicapping Master" and he said that OSU is the best team in the country with Troy Smith at QB and that OSU will not only cover the spread and win by double digits. I would add that this guy also said that USC would walk all over ND. I don't know what else this team has to do to make people believe in them, but thats okay I just want to hand a big sh*t sandwich to all of these guys on Jan 2. Who's with me, WHO'S WITH ME?
OSU by double digits?

I would not disagree with him in the fact that OSU with Smith at QB is one of the best if not the best team in the country. But we also know what happened the last time ND played the best team in the country and it wasn't a double digit loss.

Ohio State is DAMN good. No argument here.
But so is Notre Dame.

That's ok. I like us being underdogs and getting dumped on by just about every sportswriter in America (this is not the only double digit prediction by a longshot). I think the Irish will feed into that and will want to use this game as a springboard to next season. GO IRISH!!

lol, Ohio State is good. But not that good. I think you guys are giving too much credit to Ohio State (and Troy Smith in particular) and too little credit to our own team.
If Ohio State is a top 5 team, they wouldn't have lost to Penn State. I'm sorry, but Penn State is all hype. They are very much like our team from 2002. They've had tremendous success, but is it sustainable? Their offense is piss-poor, believe it or not, and their defense is only a little better than decent.
If OSU is as good as the hype they are receiving, then they should have murdered Penn State.
But they didn't.

Definitely. If tOSU was the best team in the country they would have beaten Texas and PSU. Notre Dame isn't the best team in the country either, but they're not double digit worse than tOSU.Vince Young said:
With the Weis offense, no one is two scores better than them.

Best team??? I don't think so...they lost to a overrated texas team, got beat by PSU and if they played USC would get killed. Troy Smith has upside but is not that good yet. I think giving C-Dub some time, I wouldn't be shocked if we win by 21

Who has Ohio beat? Even if you go look at the stats of the MSU game we did much better than the Bucknuts (except the score of course). Were both 9-2 teams. Ohio got the spread on us, by almost ALL, boards by 3-5 points. These are the guys making a living by predicting scores. So whatever Bucknut Brick loving idiot wants to say so be it. It's obvious he's one of those biased sports people (i.e Mark May). Also, I'm not a homer, or a blind fan. I know that Ohio is a great team and ND will need to bring their A game with a but of Irish luck to pull this one off. If Ohio doesn't come out and play us like a Penn or a USC, their going to be in for a suprise. Also, they better pack their lunch, because this ND team never gives up!

tUND will not succomb to these little whiney critics. Everyone is oblivious to CW's preparation if they think tUND will get blown out. how many times is it going to take to prove that CW is one of the best minds in football at any level. I just wish the world would take notice and say hey, "as long as CW is the coach, then whatever team he is coaching for has a chance!"
