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.
I am a Dish dealer and had one of the first 8 gig versions (6 hours record capability) in 2000 and was on one of the live threads here during a Republican debate.
I couldn't figure out why everybody was posting so much faster than me...LOL.
My new ViP722 has a 500 gig HDD.
They played a very immature team, that’s for sure. But Urban will fix that.
No doubt about that! Georgia,Auburn and Florida have young teams. Its going to be hell around here the next few years!
Love Dish Network— Had Directv for 8yrs and was never happy with their cust service or equipment. The changeover about 4 months ago has been a wonderful transition.
Sad news from Georgia - the body of missing hiker Meredith Emerson has been found. :-(
Go Trinity!! Lateral champs of the World!
That was insane. And I thought that Cal game wouldn’t be surpassed in my time. It was.
You think it's easy being a Buckeye fan? We always have a lot of fun, tho. Thanks for your insights, LSU is a worthy opponent. OSU has to run, run, run.
He is probably the one who killed that man and his wife in North Carolina.
How does Appalachian State not win that?!?
I’m just glad Auburn didn’t win it at our expense, yet again.
It seems that the grinding has begun.
That’s gotta hurt for the Buckeye fans.
The Ohio State University coaching superiority is obvious.
What a killer penalty.
Refs in the tank for LSU. Not that LSU even needs them.
C’mon...when has Trinity EVER won anything in football??
Turn out the lights, the party’s over...
That should probably do it.
"Turn out the liiiights, the party's over...."
oh jeez....this is just bad.
