Ohio State Buckeyes v. LSU Tigers: Live Thread
Buckeye Supporting Freepers! ^ | 7 Jan 07 | GoBucks

Posted on 01/07/2008 10:39:05 AM PST by gobucks

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.

Is LSU favored by 2 STDs?

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.

The OSU Sloths are crawling down the field. Wells to the 40. Has 5 carries, 86 yds.

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.

No penalties so far, on the most penalized team in the SEC.

But they are slow.

Dixon score and PAT ties the game at 10.

Good game and we're all still in a good mood, right FReepers?
