Weren't you leaving?
My prediction: BG wins handily. Welcome to the Doyt. Again.
Ah, no reason to even dignify tekekini with a response. Any sane person knows EMU won't win this one by 39. Hell, the Big Bad Buckeyes of Ohio State only beat us by 28.
Thats because OSU doesnt want to run up the score on in state opponents, or any opponent for that matter. they could have scored anytime from anywhere on the field.
You (not specifically you but you as in members of this baord) also said you wouldnt lose to Kent and you lost just about as bad as I predict you to lose to EMU.
That may be true to a degree, Tressel doesn't exactly lay it on lesser teams. He did take it easy on Northern Illinois after OSU built a 21-0 lead in the 1st quarter. But then again, if Ohio State could have crushed BG horribly and scored at will, why was it only a 14-point game going into the 4th quarter? It was 21-7 at that point and the game could still have been in doubt had OSU made a mistake or BG made a big play of some kind. Just something to consider.
As for Kent State, I don't think anybody except for maybe Kirk Herbstreit thought they would be this good. They're 4-2 and 3-0 in MAC play, having crushed Akron the week after they rolled through us. That's been our only loss in conference thus far, and at the time of making our predictions for that game I don't think anybody would have seen their emergence as a MAC powerhouse. Even when they beat Miami down in Oxford the previous week, we all thought, well, that was an upset. Upsets happen. Three games later, its obvious that game wasn't an upset. Eastern Michigan on the other hand, is 0-fer. They've yet to win a game, and are coming off of a spanking at the hands of none other than Louisiana-Lafayette! I'm sorry, but Eastern Michigan is not a very good football team, certainly not nearly as good as Kent State right now.
Hey Tekekini, I have to ask, did you go on the Ohio University message boards last week and rip the people there for predicting that they would beat us back on September 30th? After all, it would only be fair. Not many people from outside of BG expected us to win that one, and we did, so this mistaked prediction stuff goes both ways.
