Well, in a few hours, a few LSU folks will recall with dread the name Greg Frey. Yep, the Buckeye quarterback no one remembers but die-hard Buckeye and LSU fans. The quarterback who led the team to one of the most spectacular comebacks ever witnessed at Ohio Stadium.
As Wikipedia puts it: On September 24, 1988, he rallied Ohio State from a 33-20 deficit in the final four minutes for a 36-33 victory over the ninth-ranked LSU Tigers.
I was at that game in the shoe, urging all the fans who were leaving early to stay put. It was gratifying to see them pour back in as the miracle comeback unfolded. When Bobby Olive made that flying catch in the end zone for the win, I distinctly remember sharing overwhelmingly jubilant joy with thousands of other Buckeyes around me.
The LSU fans who shuffled back to their cars were morose indeed .... it's a long long drive to Louisiana from Ohio. These same fans are now hoping for a dose of that gloom to be heaped upon the carloads of Bucknuts on their way back home from the Dome tonight.
I have some advice for Tiger fans: don't buy the extra beer for the party after the game. The spirit of Greg Frey is with us still.
OSU over Tigers, 24-21.
4th block this year. Tressel gains more grey hair.
Ooopa...
This is a Tigers team that does not want to die.
Now the LSU O-line is starting to dominate the OSU D-line.
It is going to be a knock-out, drag-out fight for the championship.
Crossing the line is not enough, he has to have Control of the ball also. It went straight through his arms.
Hang tough.
That would be "gone for it."
You must have attended an SEC school.

You must have attended an SEC school.
This is turning out to be a grinding down match.
This does not look good all of a sudden.
LSU just keeps coming at you.
Now the pressure shifts back to the Buckeyes to answer.
This is like watching a heavyweight fight.
Not if we don’t stop LSU.
Buckeyes 10
LSU 17
Home field advantage, Positron? heh heh
Anyone down here in the SEC can tell you, the main thing about LSU is that they never let up. They have some serious flaws in thier talent, but they play hard from whistle to whistle and never let the other team get a breather.
Are Ohio State fans beginning to think, “Oh geez, not this sh!t again?”
nah... went to Ohio State. but my move to the South seems to have uprooted my grammar
Oh yea. Those tight end passes over the middle. Heacock doesn’t know how to defend it.
