i would be surprised if osu won. def is very inexperienced and will face a tough line and tough rbs from texas.

texas d is experienced and was very good last yr. osu will put up points but i think texas will be very capable of getting stops when they need to.

playing at home, in very hot weather is a huge advantage to texas.

P.S.= Putting the title of "THE" Ohio St. is one of the worst gimmicks in all of football

This has nothing to do with football. The name of the University is The Ohio State University as opposed to Ohio University. I want to Ohio and at that time they were fighting over the use of the name "Ohio." I first saw it in print as "The Ohio State University" about 10 years before hearing it on TV.

I believe it also deals with Ohio University and some controversy there.

I'm not going to lie, I always thought it was to differentiate tOSU with Oregon and Oklahoma state, which always struck me as odd given that at least in football Ohio State is what comes to mind for most people when they hear OSU. Since I'm from Oregon (though I did not go to OSU) that's not the case, so maybe that's why I thought that. I guess it's because people write tOSU a lot more often than the Ohio State University.

JaredL,

I think it all depends where you are from b/c I am from Texas and grew up in Big XII country and when I hear OSU I think of Oklahoma State Univ. This is also because I know 0 people that go/went to Ohio State/Oregon State and tons that went to Oklahoma State and so you hear OSU thrown around much more in reference to Stillwater.

Plus, you hear the Big XII weekend matchups each week (down south) and it is always OU vs. OSU etc. So for me I think of Oklahoma State b/c of where I grew up...note that I think that school sucks.

Yes, I thought I made that clear, but I was tired and playing poker when I posted above.

Troy, terrible avatar skills, especially since we'll need this gimmick probably for the rest of the year.

It's the name of the school. Cope. The Ohio State University
