Texas vs. Ohio State Predictions
By Phillip Martin
OK, everyone, it's 5:00 on Friday, and I'm officially beginning my countdown to the UT-OSU game tonight. As someone who bleeds orange with the best of them, I'm almost jumping in anticipation for the "Showdown at the Shoe" tomorrow night. Anyone who wants to make a prediction, leave a comment, and we'll see who our BOR sports expert is. If you don't pick UT, I'm going to talk to K-T about banning you from the site.
My pick? UT wins, 26-24.
HOOK 'EM.

I won't ban you, I'll call you a Republican and lock you in a room with Baby Snooks. Now THAT is a fate worse than banning. Though it looks like Phillip here is going to win here even in the midst of this fierce competition.
I'll jump in for three predictions:
UT Wins
7 point spread
Final: 21-14
This isn't a money bet, but the bet I'll be rooting for:
TU: 27
Ohio St: 35
That said, the Horns look more like the real deal than they've ever looked and Vince is fun to watch. But I bleed Cougar Red ... so go Buckeyes!
Bring it, Karl!
20-17 Texas. I don't care if it's at Ohio. Texas is just good.
Two predictions: Texas 27 Ohio St 17
Wisconsin students will riot four times this school year.
Ok Greg, I'm going to lock you in a room not only with BS, but also Dennis Kucinich, Kos diarists, and Kinky Friedman. if Ohio wins.
Hook them.
UT- 31
Ohio - 24
If UT can shut down the OSU running game early and force OSU to become one-dimensonial through the air, I think we'll see OSU have limited success moving the ball, but little success scoring TDs.
Look for OSU to kick at least three FGs.
UT -- 30
OSU -- 17
I think I was pretty spot on in my prediction that OSU would be able to move the ball, but would have to settle to for a lot of FGs instead of TDs.
What an amazing game. I am completely exhausted from watching and cheering.
im hoarse. cant talk. hook 'em. did anyone see phillip running up & down the drag after the game? hook em phil
Thanks, Gary. Anyone who was out there on the drag know how crazy it was. Absolutely incredible. Stopped traffic, hundreds and hundreds of us giving high-fives, hugging and chanting everywhere. Never gonna forget that, ever.
And by the way, I guessed 26-24. Only 3 points off. I'll accept the title of official BOR sports guru now. :)

Excuse me? All good company if you ask me.
Ohio State 24
Texas 22
Sorry, I've been on vacation.
Hahaha! Now that's funny!
