Another omen the buckeyes have in their favor is that Tressel's first bowl loss to a SEC team was to South Carolina in 2002 (for the 2001 season) and that was followed up by a championship the next season. So maybe he'll follow up his 2nd loss to an SEC team in a bowl game with another championship.

I've always thought we buckeye fans owed a debt of graditude to South Carolina for beating us in 2001 Outback Bowl (for the the 2000 season) because it was that lost and started the ball rolling for the firing of John Cooper.

And so, tomorrow our reign as double champions ends. It’s been nice while it lasted.

I just hope it’s a good game, but one thing for sure, the Buckeyes will play much better than last year’s game, this time they’ll be better prepared. I don’t read too much into LSU’s “home field” advantage. Heck, last year the crowd was easily at least 80% Buckeye fans.

My Prediction: Ohio State 27 LSU 24

The Big 10 Network is airing the ‘03 Miami/OSU Fiesta Bowl. I only watched a little bit of this game when it actually took place...
