[QUOTE="Scioto, post: 4019274, member: 12310"] Last year was fabulous (for an Ohio State fan). I spent the entire season not expecting anything after the Va Tech debacle. But they kept grinding, and then the last 3 games were unbelievable. Always fun getting a pleasant surprise, especially when you thought there would be no surprise. I have so much trepidation this year. Yes, OSU is definitely in the hunt, but Va Tech is a much better team than they were last year (they were a much better and different team in that OSU game last year; injuries depleted that team). The B1G East is a lot tougher than SEC fans realize and is going to rival the SEC West in another year, maybe two. Still, I think OSU has revenge on their minds and should beat Va Tech by at least a couple TDs on Sept. 7. I have no worries about the players pulling an Alabama - the Va Tech opener and the QB competition will take care of any lackadaisical behavior (that Urban can't nip in the bud). I worry about November and especially Michigan State, which IMO will be Ohio State's toughest game and opponent all year, including if OSU gets into the CFP and National Championship game again, and the following Saturday in Ann Arbor against scUM. I like to get in little digs on Alabama when I can (and Nick gave all of us non-Bama fans an easy dig today with his SEC media day comments), but I think OSU is on the verge of a decade of football domination like Alabama has been on (and they "only" won 3 titles during that time). And no, Urban is not going anywhere until he decides to retire. [/QUOTE]
