On Saturday Ohio State plays USC in football. This means that most of the BoL crew will be in Columbus (yes, Buckeye fans fly hundreds of miles to watch games on TV. Welcome to Buckeye City.) The game is a night game, which means that we will have been drinking for at least 8 hours before it even starts. One thing is sure about this weekend...
Serious, football lolz. USC is pretty good though, so there might also be balls. Here are some predictions from the BoL crew:
Ben:
38-24
I picked OSU 38-24. That's the score of the last national title game (which had OSU on the wrong end,) and I think that's appropriate for a team of talented upstarts matched against a team of experienced Big Time Ballers. Also, the margin of victory is more than the 12 points by which OSU bested my beloved OU Bobcats, so with that result I'll be able to claim that OU is better than USC. BOBCAT ROAR!
Tim:31-24
Next up is Tim, who had by far the most specific scenario. He predicts that USC will jump out to a 7-0 lead, then OSU will tie things up. After that USC will go up 10-7, but the Bucks will answer back with a touchdown. USC will score 14 unanswered points, but OSU will rally to tie, and finally go ahead for good on a Beanie Wells touchdown. Final: 31-24. I expect he'll have the full box score after his next vision quest.
Kondik:
30-17
Kondik predicts that USC will win 30-17, and that "the story of the game will be OSU's inability to move the ball." What a dick.
Quinn:by 3
Finally, Quinn predicts a 3 point win for the Buckeyes. He also predicts that Kondik will not leave Columbus alive, but will instead be by murdered by super-fan/chronic-ball-displayer Pat during the game. I'm not sure this counts as a "prediction," since Pat has almost murdered Kondik every time he's seen him since OSU lost to Florida in 2007.
If you have a prediction for the game, or would like to place bets on during which specific quarter Pat will kill Kondik, let us know.

Excellent addition to the BoLz picture archive.
if anyone want to pay me (I accept beer/hookers as payment) to murder kondik in a specific quarter so as to rig the bet, let me know. Should no one want to do this, I will likely kill him before the game so as not to be distracted from any of the action. Also, OSU is going to win 24-9, holding usc without a td. This is because Mark Sanchez can't run and has a young o-line. Lawrence Wilson will have 3 sacks. Beanie will run for 185 on 26 carries. Mark May's head will explode. When they notice that the biggest non-conference game of the season doesn't involve them, the SEC will finally stop banging their livestock long enough to realize that the right people won the civil war. Lebron James will secretly suit up and play tight end for the buckeyes. OJ Simpson will probably murder more people. Reggie Bush will take more money from agents. Matt Leinart will continue not to start for the Cardinals. The country shall realize Norm Chow was the real baller coach in LA and now he's with their rival.
While none of these things may come to fruition (everyone knows it's unrealistic to expect SEC fans to take a break from banging their livestock) I can say this much: If OSU plays a soft zone on more than 30% of their defensive snaps, I'm turning off the TV, putting my balls in the nearest person's ear (most likely Linville, but hopefully Quinn: he's dreamy)and becoming an ECU fan.
osu wins 14-9 in a defensive struggle
