A New Season - A New Rally (Week 4 Preview)

Buckeye Fans Its Time!

Time to step and say we have had enough, I'm sick of dropping in the rankings, I'm sick of the media saying we are over rated and I'm sick of people in the country thinking that Ohio State is always second best.

Illinois is this weekend. We all remember what happened two years ago in our house that awfully disappointing night in 2007 when an unranked Illinois team manged to quickly and deceivingly step right over the number 1. ranked Ohio State Buckeyes. That wont happen again this year, it cant happen again this year! We loose now and we are no better than USC who just happened to get knocked off last week to a completely overmatched Washington team.

This is Terrel's team, he is the leader, our go to guy, and man does he need to step up and show the country what a huge recruiting score he was for us. I know last week went great, we went and demolished a pathetic Toledo team. But you really cant brag about that to anybody. Its TOLEDO, come on, give me a break. I have friends running around posting comments online about how great we looked and how Pryor had a record breaking game for his career. Yeah, he did have an outstanding game, but once again its just Toledo...

If we want to show the country we deserve to be in the top 10 then lets do it this weekend. Let take a page out of the University of Cincinnati's playbook, they pulled off a jaw dropping 70-3 win against Southeast Missouri State. Know don't get me wrong here Southeast Missouri State is no great team in its own respect but the fact that they scored that much just makes everybody in the country drop what they are doing and say "Cincinnati...".

In the last few years we have sat back and watched as our neighbors to the south of us are building a powerhouse program. Their recruiting is improving, their coaches are getting better, and so is their ranking each year.

So on a final note this week, get out there for the game. Step up and be a buckeye fan, let show Illinois this is our house and nobody elses. Hopefully we will get lucky this week and see Mr. Tressel break out of his conservative shell. With an athelete like Pryor we should be running the flex, wishbone and pistol. We should be cramming it down their throats with the option and chucking it deep when they sneak up.

This is Buckeye Football, lets get excited.
