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.
Yes. As I understand it, Ohio State has AIDS, Human Papillomavirus, and Gonorrhea pulling for it, but LSU has Chlamydia, Crabs, Hepatitis B, Anal Cancer, and Syphilis in their cheering section.
Genital Herpes has a long-term commitment to Arkansas:
My experience is there is always commercials at time outs, quarters, half, and changes of possession.
It's the Buckeyes. Which, as everyone knows, is a hairless nut.
They are a little shaky, but just need to hang in there for the first half. Adjust themselves appropriately and come back out and play their style. They need to get the running game happening though. Stopping the super slow Wells is also a good idea.
DUMB penalty
Oh my, great pass and a face mask on Demetius. Score.
AARGH
10-9
TD, LSU.
But they are slow.
But they are slow.
Buckeyes 10
LSU 10
The Tigers weathered the early storm,a nd now we have a ballgame. Something tells me this is going to be a great back and forth game all night.
Good game and we're all still in a good mood, right FReepers?
Yea this is starting out to be a real fun match up.
The Tigers decided to wake up.
The Tigers decided to wake up.

Yep now OSU is stunned that the Tigers woke up.
