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.
Okay, why am I exp such a long delay?
I’ll catch the highlights tomorrow.
And they call this entertainment/sports?
After penalty at 5 minutes into the game, OSU 4th and 4. FG team coming out. Damn penalty.
10-7 Bucks
LSU looks like sh*t so far. This could get ugly if they don’t get thier heads out of thier butts.
Buckeyes 10
LSU 0
OK I’m physic. heh heh.
10;12 mark here.
Who is your TV provider? I have ATT Uverse in San Antonio.
Did a team count and you are also right, funny how they call it the Big Ten.
I’ve got Dish Network. Anybody else have Dish with more than 1 minute delay? Maybe 2 minutes.
The Buckeyes seem to be on fire tonight, the Tigers do not know what hit them.
Do you have their dvr that can record 4 SD shows at once?
Proving that OSU is the faster team.
You just had to put Michigan on top of the list. I betcha you like Brent Musburger too.
Yes I have that DVR
After the game the state of Mississippi erected a sign at the Lousiana border reading: "Entering Louisiana, set your clock back 15 seconds."
DISH. Don’t tell me the game’s already over.
LOL. GO BUCKS!!! :-)
