It's finally here. A mere 51 days since Ohio States last game (I know, it feels like just yesterday) the BCS National Championship has arrived. The numbers were tabulated back in December and the two best teams in the nation (wait Georgia isn't in it?) will square off tonight in the Superdome.
Ohio State bowled through their schedule quietly obtaining a number one ranking by October before falling to eventual BCS and Rose Bowl bound/demolished Illinois. And then in the spirit of competition, they sat back and watched as every other team got knocked off and they got knocked into the national championship. But they got Tressel and the man can win. Sure his team got blown up last year in the game but that doesn't matter because the man has the sweater vest on his side. As only Jesse Palmer could put it: "Is Tressel the best coach or the vest coach?" (Great call Jesse...Really, you should be proud of that one).
LSU for their part has played one of the toughest schedules in the nation and have produced some of the most exciting games of this season. They were two overtime losses from a perfect regular season, but were also a couple of converted fourth downs, and a bad pass against Auburn away from being an average team. But just as the Bucks have Tressel, the Tigers have - besides a stadium that will be full of Tiger fans and apparently a huge speed advantage - the touchdown scoring, playstation mastering dual quarterbacking corps of Matt Flynn and Ryan Perilloux on their side. This ebony and ivory duo like Tebow and Leak last year against Ohio State should cause some problems for the Buckeye defense and the way Les Miles incorparates both their talents into the game will be key to the contest.
We're not going to make any picks on this one, we just hope that its a better game than last years TBCSNCG, but we'll turn it over to resident gambling expert Big Ron to give you the lowdown. We'll see you all tomorrow with a recap of the big game.
Big Ron's Gambling Tips
As the spread stands now it -4 for LSU, and that sucka is only get closer as gametime draws near. I am seeing dollars signs and Lil’ Wayne lyrics (get money, f*** bitches) in my future after I put this bad boy down. The X-factor in my eyes is whether the defense of Ohio State will be able to keep up with the speed of LSU. Wide receiver Early Doucett could be a major match up problem, and if not contained he could be the knockout punch in this one. It's going to be like Smokey standing over top: “You got knocked the f*** out”. Ohio State will have to keep up on offense, with Chris “Beenie” Wells running the ball past the big boy in the middle Glenn “I hope the Dolphins don’t draft me” Dorsey. I have to go against the man in the sweater vest and pick the home team Tigers. 24-7 LSU.
