Welcome Buckeye brothers and sisters! Make it Terrapin Stew today.

Boilerplate:

Stay up, stay positive Buckeye fans. There's going to be both highs and lows here, stick close throughout - take a break from the keyboard if needed. 
Open thread protocols (no trolls, zero tolerance for blatant asshattery) and the usual guidelines are in effect, and voting is on...
"Note- A kind reminder to you participants in today's Buckeyes open threads:
we're allowing voting today as a tool- not a weapon- to help us monitor,
 self-govern, and self-police commentary during the game. We know that
passions run high at times; we make allowance for that. But ad hominem
attacks, vulgar and/or obscene comments directed against either the team
 or fellow commentators are disheartening and unacceptable. Please help
us by being your own editor, lest someone do it for you."
An additional kind reminder to refrain from new forum posts until after the
 game (they'll be insta-nuked otherwise) - and that if you do offer up,
be detailed and lead the discussion. We'll take a well constructed post
full of criticism over the bullshit "M...igan Sux" link and run. 
It's all good, it's always been good. We're going to need their best today,
and they'll need ours. Enjoy this day!

Go Bucks. Spit and Polish. Make it Shine today.

P.S. - IMO Coach Bret Bielema's Mom. May she RIP.
