Logged on to the Dispatch this morning and saw they had the game predictions of all the big name experts from around Ohio and the country. Funny thing, they must have missed me! I will have to use this space to give you’re the real scoop. Buckeye’s 20, LSU 16!

While many of the Buckeye fans were partying in the Quarter yesterday, I spent the afternoon with dozens of the player’s parents at a friends and family party. I read everything that is written about the Bucks, have met people around the program, know the families of some of the players. The resounding message that is coming through to me down here is focused-focused-focused and prepared-prepared-prepared.

I have no doubt that the Buckeyes have the will and talent to win this one and could not be in a better mental state to go after it. We will find out tonight if that is enough, if it all comes together, and which way the ball bounces when it lands on that pointed end.

For some of you a loss tonight would be crushing. For me the sun would still come up tomorrow, knowing that these players have given everything they possibly have to position themselves to leave it all on the field tonight. Let’s support them either way!

Go Bucks!
