(21)Iowa at (8)Ohio State


Kyle says:

High noon in the old Horseshoe. Revenge is going to be on the minds of the Ohio State Buckeyes, I can assure you that. Last year Ohio State was decimated in Iowa City 33-7. This was supposed to be a battle of two unbeatens, but it still has lot of hype surrounding it. It is a must win for both teams, especially the Bucks because they have national title hopes. Getting off to an 0-1 start would be disastrous. Iowa hasn’t exactly played the best teams in the country, so I really don’t know how to gage them. I think they are a good team, but overrated. Plus, the game is at Ohio State. The Bucks defense was unflappable last week, other than the first play of the game. Look for Drew Tate to become Aaron James Hawk’s bitch this week. I would also love to see a repeat of the 1999 contest, in which an OSUMB member hit Herkey Hawkeye with the “Beat Blue” banana. Herkey was hurt and filed a lawsuit that was later dropped. What a fucking pussy! If I got hit in the head with a banana I don’t think I’d be carted off and taken to the hospital. I also don’t think I’d file a lawsuit. I lost a lot of respect for Iowa that day.

Ohio State - 22
Herkey - 15

A game that looked to be one of the biggest of the year is now one where the two teams are trying to just get back to solid ground. The Hawkeyes have yet to prove themselves over a team that plays actual D1 football (Ball State doesn't count they should be NAIA), so they find themselves with a very tough test in coming to the Shoe. Other than the first play last week, the Buckeyes held San Diego State to under 100 yards of offense, something that's hard to do even in a video game. Hopefully another woman band member will hit Herkey's weak ass with the Beat Blue banana again, always good entertainment. Honestly, how can you maintain your dignity after something like that. "Ah man what happened to your head?" "A woman hit me with a large foam banana." O yeah, Bucks come away with the victory.

Sloopy - 23
Grow some Herkey - 13

Corey says:

Another huge game at the horseshoe. Ohio State really needs to figure their offense and how to utilize Ginn a lot more. If they find ways to get him the ball, I really don't think this will be a good game. However, if Ohio State plays conservatively in this game, Iowa has a good chance to get a lot of confidence for their solid D, which is just what they need. I think that the bucks will figure it out though and win the game. Iuck Fowa. Also, OSU's D is beast.

OSU - 35
Iowa - 17
